the rulers
do not listen to their
rules
for their rules are arbitrary
and shift from second to
second and last as long
as a breath of a house fly
whatever the moment
whispers into their dead
ear will be the rule of the
month, week, day, hour
their rules only meet their
needs and blind them from
seeing their failures
cliche of thoughts past on
through the damp, meldewed
centuries from master to
slave absent of victory
and they will hate you
talk about you as if...

april songs: journey of life 10
april song 10—interment (finale)
for the head, when bowed and hoary,
and the bones, when brittle-bent,
are preparing for your glory,
where there’s no impediment.
dust to dust, the earth returning
to the Hand that formed the clay,
and the breath no longer burning
in the realm of night and day.
yet, the soul knows no interment,
for its breath and dust are gone;
nor the grave, the last denouement,
where the body sleeps alone.
precepts of a Mighty Father,
Whose ways, higher than our ways,
are the...

To Map out Infinity
Pondering under punctures of the infinity,
Pinholes, the other side twinkling through
Atop my roof, where visits oft add salinity
Tonight, alone, I plan for what I wish I knew
In present, past trends now cease extending
I'm left to wander about, mapping out infinity
Tightroping, I wobble to futures impending
Pray the ground be closer, by His divinity
Should the rope snap, I fall to path below
Please guide my feet to night's stars aglow
Pinholes, the other side twinkling through
Atop my roof, where visits oft add salinity
Tonight, alone, I plan for what I wish I knew
In present, past trends now cease extending
I'm left to wander about, mapping out infinity
Tightroping, I wobble to futures impending
Pray the ground be closer, by His divinity
Should the rope snap, I fall to path below
Please guide my feet to night's stars aglow

Death & Taxes
Is life just about taxes & death?
Were surviving, not living
disrespectful, unforgiving
Let's make a change, life is short
Give and respect, before we all abort
Were surviving, not living
disrespectful, unforgiving
Let's make a change, life is short
Give and respect, before we all abort

Death By Taxes
Exploiting the need
Setting the cost of this dead end living
In this system, the consumer is the feed
Lives for auction, waged efforts in short changed bidding
Cycles of debt make up bondages of dependency
Desperation to control in this market of captivity
Oppressive price tags and credit scores to earn a right to owe
Qualifying for financial burdens
They own the ground in which we sow
Harvesting more costly endeavors in this death grip for a home
Culture of the illusion of success
Retirement savings for future...

Philosophy in de French quarters
I don't feel shame or remorse.
We know life ain't fair and cruel.
Gotta find your own course.
Or you get left like a fool.
So if one is down dats on you.
I'm not gonna cry at my failure.
I'll just get back up do wat I do.
I'm gonna lead my life no matter what they tell me
We know life ain't fair and cruel.

I'm gonna lead my life no matter what they tell me

Everything is Important
(and Nothing is More Important Than Everything)
Given the calculations and parameters I’ve set within time limits and resources
I am lacking in the stimulus and motivation to continue my education
Presently as my overall health and condition has been in a slow decline for years
It is no excuse to place a mental obstacle rendering me to a state of obfuscation
With that in mind, a fear of success has created a parabolical intellectual block
Anticipating a physical exhaustion with a rather unreal anxiety of the unknown
But it lies more in the...

The Value of Time
I can hear some of my watches on my nightstand ticking away
As I lay in bed waiting for sleep in the quiet and dark of night
Wondering how many minutes I’ve wasted on that particular day
Or the years I treated time as infinite but forgetting my time is finite
And then I remember all those lazy days and unproductive hours
All that precious time gifted as it now drifts into the blackness of space
The moments I made something of them while others were wasted
Postponing dreams and aspirations that I always wanted to chase
Now as I approach a...

Expect the Unexpected
I always expect the unexpected you see
No matter how ridiculous or stupid it may be
Prepare for the worst and hope for the best
Because planning helps me deal with the stress
I usually have a back-up plan in the back of my mind
Covering my bases so that everything is aligned
Because if things go south I will not be surprised
I’ll be able take the punch just like I exercised
And if the shit hits the fan you know I’m the man
I lean on my skills and wits to deal with the slam
I’ve been burned before like hard lessons learned

Freddy Krueger
(Inspired by the movie Dream Scenario)
Lost in derivative experiences comprised
A pseudo collective consciousness in a world behind our eyes
Picking up on hacked signals that swell beneath in stillness as we breathe
We dream in silence louder than a whisper as our hearts unsheathe
Imagination informants whistle blowing
Monsters in the closets of an un-event
Where is all of this going?
Torn between a life of struggle or suffering the pedestal spent
Side effects of a common threat of our own humanity
Striving to balance a...

Metrology Of Life
Why measure one's success
by their financial solvency?
As age overtakes me
I've had a profound epiphany
That true happiness
is not found
in things pecuniary
but free to everybody
The sky's not blue and sunny, and gentle breezes do not caress
only for those with money
A smile, a touch, a kiss, a hug, a tender word, a bedtime song
Are slices of joy everlasting
with love given gratis
to the poor, the rich, and those in between
In the end what really counts
Is what we've given
how we've got along
Not what's in ...

Crowned Sovereigns
In the heart of an anthill, a tiny realm unfurls,
where diligent ants toil, their purpose unswerved.
Their queen, a regal soul, her mandate clear:
“Build, gather, thrive—our empire we revere.”
Her majesty, a minuscule monarch, yet grand,
commands her subjects with an unwavering hand.
She wears her crown of purpose, not of gold,
for in unity they labor, their story told.
The anthill pulses—a bustling metropolis.
Each worker a bricklayer, a tireless optimist.
