Uplifting
Words can be uplifting
Music too. I have many on my
Favorite list
But close to the top is
The Trans Siberian Orchestra.
Such a superb group
And powerful music.
I especially like
A mad Russian's christmas
(2014)
If you're down in the pits,
Check them out,
They will shake you up
In a very positive way.

Miss conception
She thought she was funny
But in my view
She was a drag
She thought so highly of herself
Snobbish in a way
She thought she was a queen.
I misread for,
Yes, she was a queen...
A Drag Queen.
But in my view
She was a drag
She thought so highly of herself

Hell on earth
Men are predators
Some , having no clues
About the chase
Are stalkers
Some, worse, are wife beaters,
Molesters,
Some, the worst.
Are killers.
One wonders how women
Still have the equal
Imperative to reproduce
In such an evil world.

Misérable peuple
Si vous le gardez stupide
Je le garderai pauvre''.
Des paroles qui traversent
Aisément des siècles
Même si récemment écrites.
''Let them eat cake'' said
Marie-Antoinette.
Plus ça change,
Plus c'est pareil.
Je le garderai pauvre''.

Perception
One thing that is open
Is our Métro. It is our Subway,
Our U-Bahn. It gives us
A semblance of freedom
And liberty in this Age of
Confinement.
Though it is a life Underground
As if we were weird creatures
Afraid to see what we would find
Were we allowed to go above
And see for ourselves.

Confinement.

SPIRITUAL POEM

I doubt
I doubt very much
About the existence
Of a God
Of a loving God. i just look around.
All the pain, the poverty, the misery.
The sickness. the disparity of wealth.
The injustices. How could a loving God
Allow such cruelty. Ya, free will and all.
Nice. But then if, as we're told,
He created Man in His own image....
Then it is not a nice one.

Green with envy....
I am green with envy sometimes
When I see these chefs, young and old
Prepare all sorts of dishes
from the most exotic and
Seemingly totally intricate
To the most basic of salads
As they stand in kitchens
Worth tens and tens of
Thousands of dollars
And equipped with the latest
And most expensive knives,
Cauldrons, pots and pans
And everything else
Ya, green with envy, but then
Not so much as I stand in my ordinary
Kitchen, preparing my own
Spaghetti Bolognaise
Cooked on a regular stove ...

Note to self (63)
When will you stop
Killing yourself?
When will you liberate
Yourself from these heavy
Chains?
Silly stupid confessions,
Just words meaning nothing
Until and unless YOU decide
To move forward.
Difficult to do if your mind
Is always held back
And your entire being
Stuck in the mud
And stuck in the past.
Killing yourself?
When will you liberate
Yourself from these heavy
Chains?
Silly stupid confessions,
Just words meaning nothing
Until and unless YOU decide
To move forward.
Difficult to do if your mind
Is always held back
And your entire being
Stuck in the mud
And stuck in the past.

Note to self (178)
Turn-off the radio
Turn-off the T.V.
Put away the computer,
The I Pad, the I Pod
And the latest generation
Phone-cum-computer-
Cum-T.V.-cum-whatever else .
Do yourself a favor, shut it all of
For a minute or three,
Never mind if you'll miss
An important message - tweet,
The One that might-may-will
Change your life forever.
DO take the short time-out
And bask in the superb
Sound of Silence.
What a wonderful world that is.
Peace and quiet.
Priceless.

Délices
Sweet kisses
Dolce vita
Strawberry wine
Chocolates galore
Culminating in
An orgy
Of délices,
Of loosening up,
Of letting go
And utter bliss.

Jealousy
Jealousy kills.
Love turns quickly to hate,
Turns on a dime
From almost adoration
Of the cherished one
To unbound rage
Due to non-acceptance,
Non-compliance
(The refusal sometimes
To be kept in a virtual sort
of cage, contacts with
Friends and family reduced
Or totally cut)
The man refusing to accept
The rejection,
The worst attack on his Ego,
Leading to blindness,
Leading to loss or reason,
Unbound aggression
And deaths.
