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,...

Small Town Syndrome
i would rather be homeless
than live again in that town
i would rather you keep
your compliments to yourself
if it comes with that price
i don’t want your help
just because you’re nice
doesn’t mean you mean well
than live again in that town
i would rather you keep
your compliments to yourself
if it comes with that price
i don’t want your help
just because you’re nice

Redemption Over, Nothing Left but Bourbon and Trouble
Listen up
Good behavior has ceased
Rogue behavior commences immediately
Be thankful I keep you honest
Had sex in the little safe deposit room
Prelude to Thanksgiving
White meat
Dark meat
Take what's given
Made a deposit twice
Some people pay for comedy
It's free here
Just for you
Enjoy the day !

forests
each tree
proudly
as individuals,
each detailed
within
their own
manners,
each mind
firm,
the place
you remember,
but their
acceptance
to be
something
more combined
like a
community.

Casablanca City
Casablanca, the economic capital,
A city of grandeur and diversity,
Where modernity meets tradition,
A tapestry woven with remarkable landmarks.
Morocco Mall, Anfa Place, Tashfin Tower,
Twin Center standing tall and proud,
Symbols of progress and ambition,
Defining the city's skyline.
The largest road station and bustling Marina,
Connecting journeys, embracing the sea,
Guiding wanderers with a smile,
A warmth in the hearts of those who reside.
Africa's largest mosque stands with grace,

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...
Never tempt one into ire

Don’t get caught in their temper’s fire

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:

Context
We used to call it...THE GENERATION GAP
And I don't know what we're calling it now,
But it's the same communication trap
Entire cultures try to disavow.
It's something most folks don't care to admit;
Yet another form of mass denial
Like thinking snowflakes need more manly grit
Which only rubs away their sophomore smile.
But a segregation is not the way
To intermix experience and youth
When death takes a toll each and every day
On all those lingering fountains of truth.
Oh to be sure those fountains are...

Culture
Culture consumption.
Ultra presumption.
Soma seduction, chosen indulgence.
Oceans entrusted.
Motor conduction.
Global abundance, potent production.
Molded incumbents.
Coma injunction.
Older compulsion, bogus adjustments.
Coded conjunction.
Spoken conundrum.
Quota alumnus, quotient abduction.
Stolen injustice.
Hoaxes obstructed.
Open discussion, focused redundance.
Omen instruction.
Showmen corruption.
Roman dysfunction, hopeless induction.

Imagine
It’s not a given
that we’ll come out of this
better people than we were.
But…
like many,
I imagine
and have my moments of excitement…
Hope for a new way of living gently
of caring more deeply
of connecting more authentically…
Maybe….
our entire system will transform
businesses will stop the constant growth rat-race
religions will return to loving and serving
governments will care for the most vulnerable
people will know and cherish their neighbours…
Imagine all the people…
We’ll all...
that we’ll come out of this
better people than we were.
