POEM: 360º 24/7

Here is a poem about our relationship with the past and the future.

360º 24/7

He pondered
Was his life behind him
Sure enough
He turned around
And behind him
Awe it could possibly be
So he turned around
Sure enough

POEM: As Awe of Palestine Weeps

Genocide is never justified. There is no such thing as a “defensive” genocide. Let US end the mass starvation in Gaza. Never again.

As Awe of Palestine Weeps

O Israel
Be-holed
The lored you are god
Reigning down
Death
On more than in a sense
Fallen from the heavens
Bombs and bullets your idol dreams
Thy hollowed name
Wrings the passing daze
Your feat
Measured in grave yards
And the runes of broken hearts
Where homes are headstones
Unwritten countless lives stolen
Martyrs sped to their fate
One with the land
As awe of Palestine weeps
For shattered families
And litter of children
Impassable roads to travel
For getting what nourish meant
In tents crowding
Who will be the next pray
As the whirled keeps spinning
Lies
In loo
Of aiding
And a betting
That the frail echo of never agin
Overcoming won’s accomplice-ments
De-liver US
From evil
O God of all
Bring dawn to our mourns
And an end to our eves of destruction

POEM: Debasement

We don’t need to descend into debasement…

Debasement

It is awe
The more important
That we be
Human
Specially
When and where
The farces of depravity
Are up razed
Wanting US
Too say
Uncle
In debasement

POEM: Fasting

Despite the accost of living, it is still, quiet, popular.

Fasting

Death is fast
Life is faster
Woe, woe, woe
Slow down
Savor
Before long
Life is fare

POEM: Sum People (Capitalized)

Privilege Is When You Think Something Is Not A Problem Because It's Not A Problem To You PersonallyMy theory on taxation and charitable giving is that people who make more than [insert self] should be taxed more and give more to charity. Somewhat more seriously, I find that people who are capitalized rarely find it enough, can find innumerable rationalizations for stockpiling wealth, and the gradient to help out de-capitalized people is typically a trickle. I note that notions of worthiness and deserving play a big role in such rationalizations. Here is a poem that remarkably portrays this more succinctly:

Sum People (Capitalized)

Sum people
Have too much
Money
Though it is ever
Those who have more than me
It’s all a bout
Things
Looking up
People not sow much
the pour
trick
-ling
down
ever
more

POEM: Happiness Depends

Happiness depends on…or not.

Happiness Depends

He was inexplicably happy
Having absconded
In describable plays
From wents know one knows
A life a verse to most
A posit of just a bout awe there is
Taking on par
For the coarse
In loo of
“Their happiness depends…”
On
And on
A sentence that can’t be finished
Well
Accept riddled with conundrums
Subject to wiled ups and downs
In dependence of every won
Condition ill
On each sick complaint
Such as is
That determined buy
How ever pro cure
For ever panned obsolescence
Of affront and arrear
Of coarse
When the shit hits
Many how be it
Rely on Depends®

POEM: Religion Entitled

“There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone.” –Season 1 intro to the TV show, The Twilight Zone

POEM: The Surest Weigh

Death is nature’s way of telling us to slow down. Death is God’s way of reminding us that we are one. Or knot.

The Surest Weigh

The surest weigh
Too
I’m prove
One’s reputation
Is two die
Complimenting
In a second
Berth
One
And the same
Unsurpassable
Peace

POEM: The Firing of Stephen Colbert

This poem goes out to the comedian Stephen Colbert who was fired by CBS after decades of work there. The cause: a single joke about the $16 million craven caving of his corporate overlord over a blustery Trump lawsuit and threat to block a CBS merger. If I hate anything, it’s corporate cowardice.

The Firing of Stephen Colbert

It was awe
A bout
Taking
A joke
Our corporate overlords
CBS
Nothing to see, hear

POEM: Writer’s Block

There is typically pressure on artists to make their work more popular and marketable, rather than centering on the deepest creative expression of their art. This poem is a reflection on this for writers, poets.

Writer’s Block

They lived on
The writer’s block
Chop, chop, chop
Accompany buy prose
And the occasional poetic
Vocation at times
Fool time work
To fallow the urge
To resist
The daze latest fashion
And the ever popular
The lowest
Common denomination

POEM: Microcosmic Man

I am a microcosm of a majestic universe and beyond…

Microcosmic Man

I am
Possessed
Buy that within
And awe that is without
As know stardust in these I’s
Emptying my self
As neither apart nor a hole
As now bearing imponderable wait
Lodged in that mystical seem
Of the atomic and the astronomical
As adore
Deifying every scale
As a weigh of life
A poet of udder space
An utmost mass
As the heavens move me
Sow majestically
In divine reflecting just
As I am
Micro cause ’em
Man

POEM: The Pourer I Get

My journey to de-monetize my life, both willingly and unwillingly, has made me the richest man I know. Of course, I don’t get out that much…

The Pourer I Get

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money… Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” – Matthew 6:24 and 19:24

In my sojourn
From have
To halve not
What have I
One
The pourer I get
My cup over
Flowing
Such timeless lessoning
In a singular our
That state-of-the-heart mastery
Of God
Or money
The depth of real eyes
That winnow of the soul
Where revolutions turn
The axis of God
An open adore to awe
Though little
Enough
To give
Disaffected fits
To those with
Treasured baggage

POEM: Probably Write

I write what I know. I write what I no. I write what is read by few. I write what cannot be read by many. Awe is fodder for all that I right.

Probably Write

He was going
A bout
His busyness
Glimpsing along
When the tome of my life peered
And he abruptly tolled me
Know one
Is going too
Read that!?
And after he went
What remains
Cutting to the quick per use
He is as well
Probably write
A tender read under cover
Bent on not braking
If soully opening up

POEM: Making Camp

Here is a manly feminist poem…

Making Camp

He had a somewhat alien urge
Man
Caved
Intuit
To go where no man had gone before
So he went
Only to find
Thousands of women
All ready had
Made camp
Of what was his make believe life

POET’s POEM: What You, Really Due

 

What You, Really Due

Sow many poets
As slender reeds unseen
And off unherd
Bent
On bequeathing crowds
Out of thin heir
In the red
And not read
Soully wanting
Poor over
Yet
Content
Foremost
Not a real Jōb
The answer to a question
What you
Really due

POEM: Glass Not Have Full

This poem offers another solution to satisfy the “Is the glass half full or half empty?” question. As a bonus, the poem incorporates another interpretation of the Zen joke: What did the Zen master say to the hotdog vendor?  “Make me one with everything.”

Glass Not Have Full

The master debaters
Argue to no end
How fool is hour glass
Have
Or have not
O Lord
Take this cup away
It’s sow much bigger
Then awe you give me
Are you just
Hotdogging
Making me won
With everything

POEM: Back to Me

Mother Earth is calling us home. Let that call be a family reunion, not a funeral.

Back to Me

Sow little
A tension
As I feed
The globe
In circling awe
You whack me
I grow deeper roots
You withhold water
I grow deeper roots
Weed due better
Not growing in a straight line
Watch
The timeless
As the people go buy
And bark out
Their desolate order
In efface of our deeper nature
Traded for minute portions
Wile overlooking
Endless seconds
And passels of eternity
Come homme
Back to me

POEM: Awe That Meters

There is a poetry to life…

Awe That Meters

He took
The bitter
With the sweet
Given
That witch is life
Sow trying
To beat it
That conundrum
Hope
Against hope
Soully too fine
Awe that meters

POEM: The Tell — Pariah States

The indicted war criminal Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is welcomed by Trump and both congressional Republicans and Democrats, rather than arresting him under international law. Netanyahu in Orwellian fashion nominates Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize (sic). The bromance of Trump and Netanyahu, both uber-corrupt politicians, had been further cemented with Trump’s unilateral attack on Iran with bunker buster bombs weeks ago, likely joining their fates at the hip. This poem calls out the race to pariah state status that Trump and Netanyahu seem fixated upon.

The Tell — Pariah States

As war incite
US
Israel
Now joined
At the hip
A three-legged race
Bumbling
And bomb bling
A ruin US man hood
Taking
One genocide
Over an other
Awe the wile
Humanity starved
Underfoot the American sole
And Zion-est fever dreams
The hole of peace
Speaking as won
Demagogues and demigods
As double speakeasy
Bam! Booze illed
Smashed!
A whirled at war
Citizens a cross
The plan it
Call out
A tension humanity
Wee in join
The WILL of the people
Not those who bequeath US
Those bloodsuckers and wraiths
Re-dressing hour grievances
What prey tell
Agin and agin
Can they say
And due
As wee demand
Never the less
A bout efface
Whatever
The pariah states
