Government, corporations, military,
Healthcare, and the insurance you carry -
if you fight them in court, you have my respect.
Mega-systems don't care about lives they've wrecked,
and the b******ds always win.
In the personal life of your own creation,
you can tune into a loving vibration.
You can change this sad saying to a bad cliche,
or if it's true, you can make it easier anyway,
when the b******ds always win.
Fighting the machine is enough to overwhelm,
but it's not right to knock out the man at the helm.
If you can cause change, you're a better man than I.
After the struggles I've had, I don't even try,
and the b******ds always win.
The almighty dollar is all that matters,
without consideration for lives it shatters.
People in the system, ain't more than a cog.
To get someone to care, you must buy a dog,
and the b******ds always win.

Up they bubble ,demanding their day
Every appetite in disorderly competition
Blindly leading the body frenziedly
To let them rip and have their way
That is the narrative of the id.
Who am I? How do I look to others?
Some days I like to be on my own
Others regard me as the life and soul of the party
Until I am overpowered by my passions
When the id dictates to my ego.
I am the gatekeeper
Patrolling the boundaries
To maintain a healthy balance
Between narcissism and impulse
In today's world that is a rocky road
Where it is a free for all
To take all you can get
Without consideration for others' dignity
Boundaries no longer exist
It's a thankless task being the superego

Many a man of wealth and greed
Of his morals he did concede
Without consideration heed
From the masses he chose to bleed
Up on high from his lofty perch
Within his heart denied to search
A golden globe his only church
Thus leaving the rest in the lurch
Now on the souls of those he preys
So blinded by his selfish ways
To keep them in an endless maze
From now until the end of days

Sneaky Dislocation
A People Sank Deeper Into An Abyss of Desperation
No Lubrication....

Screwed...

of The Deprivation of Unaffordable Habitation
Nostalgic Disintegration
Of Memories Nesting in the hearts of Generations
Shameful Demonstration of Humanity...
Straight up Insanity...

Poetics Poem 5
********(Mimesis)******
Dear Aristotle, where, then,
Do the Arts fit?
You say each of them
Falls to mimesis, but their works, to me,
Erupt into present moments
Wearing immediate faces - not masks -
Speaking their own lyrics
Without consideration of what came
Before or will come afterwards,
Presenting a stage for dialogue...
Opening platforms for exchange.
The artworks begin anew each time
The audience receives impressions
Or as the works are relived repeatedly,
They may bring new strokes, viewed as
Potentially new and not, as you say,
“Imitations of imitations.”
Inspiration feeds the audience
As well as the artists, and all
Of time moves to
Impress upon the exchanges.

Water
The dark wind pounds against the ground
The clouds taken over by the sky
Rain, a destroying force
Ready for destruction, ready to overflow
Rain, a powerful and friendly force
Ready to nurse, ready to grow.
Fire
A protector. A kind, gentle force.
Without consideration, without doubt
Clearing down growth, satisfying our stomach
Unpredictable, uncontrollable
Useless to those who use them unwisely
Helpful for those who use them wisely
A killer. A fiery of destruction, a unstoppable force
Earth
The place for us to stand, for us to walk, for us to farm
How to describe it, how to view it
A force of nature hard to forget
What would be without it
Without the Earth, the place to live
Or the earth we farm and walk on
To hell we go without or with the Earth.
Air
The thing we breath, the calm, flowing Air.
Born to give life. The one that is always with us
In our first and final breath
A force to be reckoned with
Blowing, blowing wind
Alas, it is and will be with me now, and forevermore!

I have always wanted it
She has always rejected it
I have on different occasions proposed it
She has without consideration disposed it
Gbam!!! she finally agreed
But the ocean was deeper than expected
Likewise the substances were softer than expected
Even the responses were more professional than expected
Then, it was obvious the initial gragraism was all deceit

she waited before she sat
I listened to every word she said
I stopped to look over
what she wrote
I had memorized most
of the words in my head
without considering
and even without consideration
it was obvious to understand
even through these negations
lacking considered understanding
I sighted her lack of concern
I stood on the virtue of reasoning
not to have this a lesson learned
which had started silently
each word defined
we read over the contract
not caring or being kind
her face showed no emotion
I hope neither did mine
her offerings were to expensive
and offered too little time
payment and repayment
with no room to negotiate
it lacked consideration
especially if I were to come up late
she reorganized the wording
to create a yearly expense
instead of a twelve month period
she would extend the expense
she allowed 10 months to be perfect
and two months to chore
lateness would have exception
and the time she would explore
I extended my hand
and we'd shake in agreement
time worth taking
a contract of agreement

letters drift
thoughts like snow petals
be careful where they fall
lest they melt and disappear
on heedless ground
I want to write to you
all of my dreams intricate as cold flakes
protected in the north of my mind
but I fear that you will brush them
from your sleeve without consideration
and those tangled in your eyebrow
will turn into water like tears
upon your cheek I weep
so many stories soft as baby's breath
white, curling on the air
what do I do with all of this love
but frighten you away

You and me
Climbed together on the mountains
To find peace but couldn’t find
You and me
Flew together up above the blue skies
To measure the height of nature
But could not measure
You and me
Jumped together into deep blue sea
To find the depth of life
But could not find
Finally all efforts exhausted in despair
Eventually everything connects
Because everything already existed
Within ourselves
Limited wants are peace
Live and let others live
Is the depth of life
And to serve humanity without consideration
Is the height of nature
As every gift of nature bears no cost

Age
Time is immortal; I have not heard its death
Born objects and pictures vanish from fears of age
Whether you kill them or leave for time’s feed
It is same no need of definition because it is age
Heard matters are numberless and countless universes spread
What to do with them to me even I have no idea of basic guess
I born within time I die before age dies
No concern with me as of shadows prevails with light
A thought in heart tickles remembering miracle death
What will be my next age where to go with this irremovable age?
Fun I see in those kids playing without consideration of losses
My mind whirls within dark one day I need to leave this age
Old peoples’ cough reminds me their age I know they forget
Involvement of them in gossips with friends with broadening face
Age grew older but I do not notice to it like that other greys
Brave it is I have read it can demolish crest of mountain in rest.

In a nameless tomorrow,beyond
memory,shadows of divine perfection
a message of love lives on.A word in
season opening eyes,changing &
developing without consideration
of the before&after,now démodé,

testament of fact.Enduring as
ivory in the balance sheet of
life,a process the inexpressible
a living proof of creation,to
stretch our whole sensibility
a never ending miracles.This

a duty is an obligation
lawfull in it's nature
a desire is an invitation
no lawfull will is required
a duty compells one to act
accordingly
while desire look's for
opportunity
a duty can be honorable
courageous and justified
and desire loving, kind
and modified
a husband can perform
duties for his wife
without the desire
of pleasing her life
a husband can give her
the things she needs
without consideration
of the food the soul feeds
a husband can promise
for the rest of his life
but it really does'nt matter
if it is'nt pleasing his wife
there is a duty to go home
and a desire to bring flowers
a duty to phone
and a desire to spend hours
a duty to love and love
are two different things
one could be desire
and the other just a ring
where one is earthly
the other a heavenly thing
with in giving and recieving
where would your soul be

You ripped my heart out
You used it as a cushion without consideration
You ripped my heart out
You left me in despair without a care
You ripped my heart out
You used it to keep yourself occupied and took me for a joyride
You ripped my heart out
You left be wondering about this ambivalent relationship, something I could
never grip
You ripped my heart out
You used my hopes from the get-go, made it seem like such a natural flow
You ripped my heart out
You left me with anger, doubt, sadness, hurt something I can't construe as
you left me the way
that I had found you
You might as well of ripped my heart out - you wore it out
