Full of Beans
"The scientific law of causality states every effect
(such as a fart)
has a cause
(such as beans for supper)."
-- beyond all Rational doubt
a deep Truth
to digest
*
In a universe causal, alas,
no ass "free" is to choose to pass gas,
yet it still is a fact,
though I say it with tact --
every asshole, alas, is an ass.
*
a dedication of Respect
for
the Pain of the vast masses of asses
who graduated Sunday school
on flunking Neuroscience...

Belief
It's the wafting aroma in one's
conscience
as they stand at the crossroads
of what's right, what's wrong
or what may be misunderstood.
It's the erroneous reason to pull
the trigger on nine-year-olds.
Comparitively,
it's the unbalanced actions
of standing atop a ten-story
building wanting to fly
in search of tranquility.
It's the choice of being
the beneficery
to unproven evidence
or the contented heir to
researched proof.
Or being able to move on
with a stoic look to the future, ...

Vacuum
"Happily for Romeo and Juliet, true love never becomes a daily chore."
-- the Reality of decades of the same old same old
*
Although a few may deem me somewhat mad,
While others might quite fancy me right bad,
The instant when I gazed upon her wire,
My vacuum cleaner thrilled me with desire!
Like models new, in beauty doth it whoosh!
Mine every button knoweth it to push!
That belt deluxe! Those brushes firm and sleek!
The bag unique which sucks with such technique!
Together thus all angles we explore -- ...

Black and White
Listen up, I'm here to spit truth
About the way we judge, based on hue
We may have come far, but some remain crude
Thinking like Tudors, it's time for a new attitude
Looks are deceiving, it's what's inside that counts
Skin color irrelevant, it's intelligence that amounts
Society's mixed, more than ever before
But still some brains, need a little bit more
Judging people, based on what they seem
Predicting their lives, what a foolish scheme
Reducing artwork to the basics, what a waste
Trying to understand, where's the grace? ...

Social Slavery
You work 8 hours to live 4.
You work 6 days to enjoy 1.
You work 8 hours to eat in 15 minutes.
You work 8 hours to sleep 5.
You work all year just to take a week or two vacation.
You work all your life to retire in old age,
And contemplate only your last breaths.
Eventually you realize that life is nothing but a parody of yourself practicing for your own oblivion.
We have become so accustomed
to material and social slavery
that we no longer see the chains.
Life is a short journey, live it!
Collect memories, not...

"You're a very bad man!"
"Oh, no, my dear! I'm a very good man! I'm just a very bad wizard."

On this side of the rainbow where in spite of lullabies
a human child in pain still each five seconds slowly dies
as daily in the wilderness nonhuman beings thrive
by killing countless baby beasts on eating them alive,

Ulterior Motive
It can only Be
When you want to
For no reason
That your Honesty
Is Clean

Pressure
There is always
Silence
Before the Whispering wind
Before the Rage
At the futility
Of it all
And when the storm
Is Finally over
We always Think
Of the the things
Our mind Insisted
We Don't
Have to Do
Silence
Before the Whispering wind
Before the Rage
At the futility
Of it all
And when the storm
Is Finally over
We always Think
Of the the things
Our mind Insisted
We Don't
Have to Do

Dumb Cluck --
Still Counting His Chickens

before you do that little thing called "Dying in Your Sh*t."

Shake my breath
Shades of freedom
Shapes of death
Blades of wisdom
shake my breath
Love is proud
Hate is loud
Courage is displaced within the crowd
Help is honourable
Shame is deplorable
Doubt, insurmountable
Fame, adorable
Privacy is golden
Lunacy is sheer
Pleasure is penchant
And so is fear
The price we pay to find our way
Limits each in what we say
There was a time when we could all relax
They are but words
It’s how we react
Shapes of death
Blades of wisdom
shake my breath
Love is proud
Hate is loud
Courage is displaced within the crowd
Help is honourable
Shame is deplorable
Doubt, insurmountable
Fame, adorable
Privacy is golden
Lunacy is sheer
Pleasure is penchant
And so is fear
The price we pay to find our way
Limits each in what we say
There was a time when we could all relax
They are but words
It’s how we react

A Turd's Worth
or
The Value of Romanticism
"Suspicious of Reason, romanticists prefer leaps of faith --
in addition to leaps off cliffs,
aside from bridges."
-- deep underground
the poet of Reality sole grounded
*
Imagine if a daffodil could feel,
when in an idyll wandering lonely by,
some poetaster at its cup should kneel,
to suck that dilly's filament root dry!
Then after as they idly share a fag,
a dirty dil unzips its golden dew,
and sepaling the fag in one long drag,
it pistils both beneath...

Not only do I learn you have a son here on the way --
