City
Constant Noise.
Constant beats.
Constant walking,
on city streets.
Never that dark.
lights light up the sky.
Never walk in the park.
Late at night.
Carts of food,
at every corner.
Venders drool,
for their next quarter.
One in the morning,
you still get some smiles.
One in the morning,
Don't trust those eyes.
Does a city truly sleep?
As busy as it seems.
Even rodents creep.
Hyped up on caffeine.
Would I survive at a slower pace?
Could...

Goddess on the Hunt
Never cross a deity
Never tempt one into ire
For there will be consequences
Don’t get caught in their temper’s fire
It is said that when Zeus’ headache was so severe
He received a blow from an axe right to the head
And out sprang Athena, beautiful and fully grown
In body armor and a spear, ready – forging ahead
Goddess on the Hunt
Goddess of wisdom
So beautiful and strong
Virgin and pure
Chaste and secure
Of the judgment she casts upon
She turned Medusa into a monster
Arachne into a spider
Never...

Fernweh
We have not forgotten"
Our promised return—
eternal recurrence: fernweh
this longed-for place
of gravitational deliverance
within each Soul's desire
for Source Energy
Spiritual evolution spiraling
through lifetimes, emerging
true colors arising
from an infinite storm of beauty—
Empathy, Compassion, Joy
worldly respect, elemental care:
Earth, Water, Fire, Air—
transcendent interconnectedness
attaining perfect balance:
...

Your-O-Peon
Too many borders for joyful fates;
yet still were some who thought they might unite
under a banner as true as midnight
with field stars like the United States
to likewise symbolize potential there
or an emulation of welkin grace
which all visionary humans can trace
with optimism and hope in the air.
But there are those who will not bridge the gaps
and indeed do their best to undermine
anything and everything benign
just to leave the peasants with table scraps,
because they can't distinguish genotypes
from...

CHILDREN'S IN THE SAND BOX
Let's talk about the people in CONGRESS, and have a REAL serious conversation on WHY DO THOSE. That WHO WE OF SOCIETY APPOINTED AS THE PEOPLE, THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE HERE TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD. AS THEY SPEND MORE TIME IN THE CHAMBER ROOM ARGUING, AMONGST EACH OTHER AND THEMSELVES, JUST GOING BACK AND FOURTH. YET STILL CAN'T COME TO A REAL, SOLUTION to fix the damn problem. FOR THE TRUE BETTERMENT OF THE WORLD AND IT'S PEOPLE'S.🌍 FOR it reminds me of CHILDRENS playing in the SAND BOX, to see who goes first to play in the sand, or who shall ride the swings on the swing bar...

THE TRAP OF CATEGORIZING
Our day-to-day existence
is continually being
bombarded with efforts
to categorize everything
from A to Z and beyond.
This is especially true
when it comes to we humans.
In our minds, we practice
analyst management:
We categorize by gender,
height, weight, looks, gay, straight,
performance, education, religion,
ethnicity, morality, values,
tastes, talent, etc., etc.
Yes, perhaps in some disciplines
such as science and medicine
category analyst is essential.
But for me, and speaking
only for me,...

To Cock a Snook
..to cock a snook at the scoundrels
of society yearlings and darlings
moonrocks of mind's temptation
mockery sneerer of being snooty
leaving no poetic legacy

I Had A Dream (Shapeshifter-Martin Luther King, Jr.)
From the jungle as a Black Panther King, I once roamed
To commence me back into a human form, let my voice become your ring tone
This is not what I had in mind
Over the hills over that mountaintop, I have traveled through the portal of time
Let my words be heard for every man, woman, baby boy or every baby girl
The war is not with technology but with the diabolical tongue confessions of society when wickedness unfurls
I stood on the podium to declare my humbly decree
For every nation, every color, every region in the name or...

Big Brother Rat Race
Big brother rat race
Adoptive experiment
Feeding hungered stimulation
Reaction according
To plasticity forking
Witness the moment
Walls imprison
Instinctual basis
Freedom to wander
Climactic cycles
Inside the maze
Alienating and dehumanizing
No role defined
By dated statistic
Electrifying brain signals
Somewhere down corridors
Love and advertisement
Emerge the same
Sparking neuronal tense
Literal, physical,...
