POEM: Owed to Quakers

I am a big fan of Quakers, or the Religious Society of Friends, an historic peace church with a pacifist stance based on the light of God, being present, in each and every human. This poem is a tribute to their unshakeable commitment to peacemaking, awe the more relevant in times of out right, war…

Owed to Quakers

“We can no more win a war than we can win an earthquake.”

How are wee
Too shake
That dreaded feeling
Of earth shattering knews
Hearts broke in
Billions of peaces
Soully to unveil
Light shuddered
In awe of us
Of that abiding
Quakers

POEM: Something Else

Be forewarned, the poetry of my life may jump off the page…

Something Else

I linger
A mist
My poetry
If your heart desires
Too fine me
Loiter about
Or not
Fore just perhaps
I have jumped off the page
Into something else

POEM: The Subject of Awe Subjects

Live larger, then life…

The Subject of Awe Subjects

When you pluck the I
From reality
What does won get
Barren realty
A life less frame of mine
Freedom less
Strangely fore bidden
In deter minimism
Leaving soully the walking dread
Subject to cynicism
Vanely ruled by nothing at awe
An ironic weigh too holy caste out
That being whatnot hierarchical
Frayed of wear ever egos
As kin dread spirits
Leaving us
With unsparingly evolved sects
In fated competition
Dog eat dog
Or even amor backwards
God eat god
The largesse subject of awe
Touched and untouchable
In habiting such shadow
Of an I for an I
And plenty of tooth to be found
Strewn a bout
Our self maid boxing wrings
Peering at all of hour rivals
And other
Toothless subjects
Still
Left to entertain
If there is amor
Then this

POEM: Take me

The worst feeling in the world can be to be taken. The best feeling in the world can be to be taken…

Take me

Take me
To that
Plays wear
My brain is fool
And my heart emptied
Making roam
At the in
Where you abideth
Still
Having prepared the weigh
Only now as light
As can be

POEM: Taking Dips

Is suspect our typical predatory capitalism is moving more to a casino economy run by fewer and fewer people and corporations. Insider trading in the stock markets and gambling everywhere else will drive economic precarity as we less and less bother to make or do anything in the real world. I suspect the moneychangers/bookies will rake it in weather anything gets better or worse…

Taking Dips

The stock market took
A dip
At his word
A fool’s errant
The award of profits
Coming and going
As dumb money
Gives up on outspoken prophets
And settles for the moneychangers’ cut
The bookies’ profits
Paid either way
Down with up
And up with down
The capitalists’ commission
Heartily a crime
In daze like this
Aristocratic blood
Letting austerity poor down
In a system that is
In every weigh feudal

I like the scene in the movie, Trading Places, where the brokers explain their “bookie” business.

POEM: Amen-able Prompt?

Are you playing the long game? the longing game?

Amen-able Prompt?

We get
Buy
In an instant society
Just adding
Dirty water
Too parched souls
Blowing by
Lethal takeaways
For ever temped buy
That small prize to pay
Fore not weighting
Con sequences
I get it, you get it, we all get it
Forever never
The same
Shorting won and awe
In long game
In longing game
As mine numbing preyer
In the sans of time

POEM: Punchy

Hubris will take you down…

Punchy

He took a swing at it
That drunk punch
Right
On the knows
A simple solution
For every won
Of his complexes
Thirst out of the gate
Lust to finish
Sow fool of himself
Running on empty
Stuffed with stuff
His soul cry
Filler up
Convinced he was punching
Down
For it
The count
Flat out
Flooring it

“You’re not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on.” –Dean Martin

POEM: Arose Colored Glasses

Indigenous peoples and ancient wisdom will save the world…

Arose Colored Glasses

They had
Survived
Revived
And even resurrected
Ancient cultures
Indigenous people
The weighs of death bared
As a poised to bringing life
A hallowed sweetness
To a soda pop culture
Hollowed by cynicism
In habited buy talking aheads
Dissembling eulogies
Lessoned manors
As have baked IDs
Even sow, those with humble arts sea amor
Teeming with one and awe
Even wile sum may claim
Such arose colored glasses
As half fool
Half empty
Real eyes sea
Through the looking glass
Not mirrorly through spectacles
As the water of life
Reigns
Over the world
Weather sailing turbulent oceans
Or a mist clouds

POEM: Step Out Side

Violence is a grate invitation to our lowest selves…

Step Out Side

Low
I will be with you
Till the end of time
The cycle of violence
Remains
Bared in truth
Know madder
What
Your will
Dead too peace
Life like water
A fluid soul serfing
The gravity of every situation
How ever feudal to be helled
Buy any vassal
Have empty, half fool
You’ve got to
Serve somebody
Or sum thing
Sow wee are tolled
Being no bodies
Subject to no thing nest
Hour soul hope
To be picked at last
By the most power full
Aside
Eternal grateful nest
Collared in violence
Knot a quest in
Of mirrorly giving up
Heaven’s above
Abut just
Down to earth
Sect’s feat under
Know obligation
That perp pet you all
Invitation
As if
The invention of the we’ll
That menacing some in
And low
Bar swagger
That woo who invitational
Who can’t see beyond
Violence
Soully axing
Awe in the vicinity
Too join them
In their alley weigh
Impassable
To void
That mythical other side
One for awe
Super seeded by
That step out side
The only incite job they know
Supplanting our chants for peace

POEM: Dis Figuring

There are monsters about…

Dis Figuring

“Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

I’ve got it
Awe figured
Out
I see monsters
Every wear
There is no humanity
Wile me and my own
Carry on and on
Wear there is know humanity
What might it be
That I don’t see
In tiredly clothe minded
Robed of our humanity
In effacing awe that is
Dis figuring
And what may be bared
Wear clothed in empathy
What is helled in common
A mirror service
Chipped in buy enemies
What does it take
To spill the beings
Of our won
Fore awe
That is priceless
And mirrorly be
Down with what
Is up to me

POEM: Every Poem is a Love Poem

I wrote this poem as a tribute to the anti-Valentine sentiment commonly experienced amidst the difficulties in life, particularly on the romantic love front. I debuted this poem at a poetry reading that happened to fall on Valentine’s Day. I am an unrepentant romantic on all fronts. I see the ark of life as awe a bout love. Even when the early stanzas are filled with rage and pain, the eternal story of love moves…

Every Poem is a Love Poem

“Poetry is the heart and mind making love.”

Love is a sly bastard
Skulking a bout
A creep
In every neighborhood
Humanly passable
Accessible in a flash
Wear ever
Heart and mind
Might make
Love
Hope fully gently
Yet sum time pronounced
And announced
As raw anger
And raging dis appointment
As thunder divines
The truer storm
The reign of awe
The soul awash
And holy re-nude
As clothes as you will
Never get
Taken
To the shed
De-fence
Less
Hapless
And helpless
Pray
Soully to be met
On a priceless journey
Awe ready for sail
Even when
That chosen won
Is not quiet scene
Love rights itself in
Beyond a mend
Aggrieve and a groove
In won’s soul
Undone
That which can only be
Time attested
A surpassing hear
And now
Inpatient in hospitable

POEM: Right Action Springs

Right action springs from well, being. Be well…

Right Action Springs

Water you going too due
Right action springs
From well being
Awe over turns
Illusions
Smashing
As just
Axing for resentments
You can get
Know bettor
Acting fuelishly
In Tao-ing thistles
Expectorating figs
As the err won breathes
Between means
And ends
Shorted on anew beginnings
In that perpetual temp
To cheat reality
Without
Awe of the peaces
How ever soully hoping
Abandon
That everlusting hole
As springing forth
Teeming
With water you going to do
From plays
Rightly unquenchable

POEM: Truth As Much As He Could Bear

Truth hurts and enlightens in the same breath…and breathlessness…

Truth As Much As He Could Bear

As much truth
As he could bear
He was grizzled
And yet those
Who fancy
Pricking up
Won’s hears
Beneath
His breath
A rambling man
Going on about being
A God fearing man
Such accounts bringing bout questions
The whys
Of fearing God
Illiciting a soul response
Can anyone no
The Lord of awe the whirled
As fear some plays
The haggard
Man answered
As nary a tattle tell
Set down his report
If you had
Seen what I seen
That might
Bear me out
And still
More than still
I have had
Moments
Beyond question
Of weathered
Can won go so deep
As to reach the unfathomable
As some manor of beauty
Yes
And no
In deed

POEM: Outing Competing

Competition cultivates violence. Cooperation cultivates harmony.

Outing Competing

How could won
Out competing
When it’s in
Hour vary nature
I could knot hope
Too outcompete
A single blade of grass
A pristine spring
A towering oak
A squirrelly squirrel
I surrender agin and agin
Soully too fine myself
As won among many
In tiredly uncompelling
To be apart
From deep harmonies
Align I cannot cross

POEM: Fucking Genus

This poem is an ode to the degenerate view that “evolution” is somehow driven merely by sexual reproduction. The poem calls out the misanthropy of patriarchy…

Fucking Genus

He was posed to
Reckon it
As straight up evolution
Half original
As might he
Reproduction
Man’s soul measure
Buy thinking a head
Won or the other
In guttural in tuition
Glorifying random mutants
As guise will be guise
Sow they say
What is a man
Too do
Laying claim
Inerrant cockiness
And sure enough
Screwing it up
Consider it
Fucking genus
And that in alienable
Origin of specious
As sum kind
Of petri ark
As women dished
As mirror objects
What amor can there be?
It’s dam well sure
No woman
Would ever conceive
Such a misanthropic scheme

POEM: To Be No’in Buy You

Screw the heartless algorithm. Let’s turn ourselves to life and the living. Is it worth razing a singular bird?

To Be No’in Buy You

I sow want to be
No’in buy the algorithm
That life less humanity
Getting
My number
As if it is awe
In the wrist
Demarcating
What might
Be soully
A freakish camp concentrated
A vainglorious offering
Me a hand without digits
There is no
Prosthesis fore such an immolation
Nothing passing
In the after math
Our daze numbered
In an unequaling flail
The big tree of data
Dividing us
Into what sum
Might state
As frag meant
Of corp or real bodies
In what peers
As a pile of single digits
Lifted toward heaven
De-manning that
Won way or the other
Pull the plug

POEM: My Crumb-y God

Just. Enough. Day by day.

My Crumb-y God

I halve lived
On crumbs
Such bearin’ times
Until I came a cross
A speck of incite
I was axing
The wrong quest in
Can God make a banquet
Sow big
That I can
Live into
Any imaginable future
And just
Then
Show enough
A singular crumb
From God’s table
Fell like a meatier from heaven
Crashing
Into a million peaces
And that daily bred
Served as manna
Given mourning by mourning
For years unend
Food fore the journey

“Those who gathered a lot had nothing left over, and those who gathered only a little had enough. Each family had just what it needed.” –Exodus 16:18

POEM: Word Given, Worth Taken

On love and poetry…

Word Given, Worth Taken

“Love is the sickness and the cure.” –paraphrase from movie, “Shakespeare in Love”

I give you my word
Sometimes scene
As dis ease
That soully I have
Proferring one too you
Witch may vary well
Be
Too frayed to catch
And varily sow
Know one quiet
No’s
The cure rate
As I am
A mazed
Dumb struck
And agape
As love is
Mirrorly
The sickness and the cure
And if found
Never given
Up
To you
Awe
The bettor have
Of my poetry
Abet
Worth taken

POEM: The Chosen Peephole

Tribalism kills. It’s all about sects.

The Chosen Peephole

Tribalism is the ultimate fence
Steeling our humanity
In the vast nest of human kind
Seeing soully the hole
As our own
Peeps
A life stile
Wresting on
Just encase
Hedging every abet
As planet that weigh
Over-raided
Know ledge is power
Getting
The benefits
Of the doubt
And every bluff
A bull work
Getting to the bottom
Of every thing
Evolution as mirror sects
In sum
In farced buy
That solitary rule
Never dis member blind fold
Left with hope against hope
Too see it our way
As awe
A bout sharing
Blind spots
Fooly with
Won’s peers
