hello, Mr Government. This is buddhakitty
hello Mr Government,
my name is buddhakitty
and I want to thank you
for doing nothing to solve
even the smallest, simplest
problems for the American
public which you so proudly
profess to serve
congrats on the division,
lack of cooperation and
the general overall failure
to come together for the
greater good of our
country
bravo for the visionaries
you are for never letting
an opportunity pass in using
and manipulating the publc
for your own megalomaniac
needs ...

Anticipating the taunt
Of a spellbound fate was
Like irony for some
Vicarious shame,
Bringing loneliness
To those of whom
Have beckoned, trekked,
Waited for poetic justice in the
Retribution of intrusive
Marketing that shrouds, hides.
Masterful callousness,
Pretending to never feel,
Mocked and laughed at
The innocent wonder
Of familiar reminiscence,
Like insisting favor
Was sensual, assuming an
Embarrassing tease,
Reinforcing the numb veracity
Of what carnality was worth. ...

The War of Molecules
The whirling world is war.
In the darkness the star -
Fights against strenuous gravity
To hold itself together
and not fall into event horizons
that loom - across spaces like black lights of doom.
Even within the star -
there is war -
as molecules move about in frenzies
and furore -
shifting into themselves and transforming
into new forms with new functions...
And still at war -
bursting forth – in nameless anonymities
criss crossing and drawing strange symbols
seen only by...
In the darkness the star -
Fights against strenuous gravity
To hold itself together
and not fall into event horizons
that loom - across spaces like black lights of doom.
Even within the star -
there is war -
as molecules move about in frenzies
and furore -
shifting into themselves and transforming
into new forms with new functions...
And still at war -
bursting forth – in nameless anonymities
criss crossing and drawing strange symbols
seen only by...

GIANTS
Greed drives those in power hungry for more
Taking away from those who have less
Lobbying because they want to rule the world
And in the process stunting any forward progress
And they linger, like titans muscling the weak
With a lust that can never be satisfied
An avarice that is unyielding and building
A society with a great divide
But behold, there comes a warrior
A champion who will take up the fight
And they will change the course of history
The tipping point when the moment is right
It’s the old story of David...
Taking away from those who have less
Lobbying because they want to rule the world
And in the process stunting any forward progress
And they linger, like titans muscling the weak
With a lust that can never be satisfied
An avarice that is unyielding and building
A society with a great divide
But behold, there comes a warrior
A champion who will take up the fight
And they will change the course of history

Haters Gonna Hate
The paleface supremacist
Is up in every grille
with an overt racist mission
to loan, enslave, or kill...
like what they did to Africans
and still do if they can
with banks and prisons in cahoots;
free labor is their plan.
The worst white folks, so I have read,
just love to kill the Jews
and bitch about a culture war
they spew in their fake news.
But don't forget their genocide
of Indians (all types!),
after a treaty treachery...
abusing peaceful pipes.
And think about the Mexicans ...

INVOLUNTARY ACCOMPLICE
Oh to have been born suspenders
To support trousers without any shame
Instead I’m a belt that frequently renders
painful screams when wielded to maim.
I keep up the pants of a sometimes bully.
When he’s drunk, as a weapon I’m used.
If sober from loops he rarely removes me.
‘Cept in anger a loved one is bruised.
History used as justification,
“My daddy beat me black and blue.”
I was passed down by that generation
to ensure whippings continue.
Doomed to recall every child’s tear
Every cruel beater’s...

Yes, Driven To Tears
Drones replace soldiers
robots work the guns
lobbyists for weapons makers run elections
killing the game since profits run
dictators procure nukes and think that torture is fun
"How can you say you're not responsible
what does it have to do with me
what is my reaction
what should it be?
confronted by this latest atrocity"
Exhaust non renewable resources
radiation in food and air
forests depleted for hamburgers
water not fit for any creature
all that sustains life burns
capital the bane of...

THE WEAK AND AGGRESSION
THE WEAK AND AGGRESSION
My heart is always with the weak
who crawl on earth like a small worm
to see a place itself to hide
from eyes the strong use to descry
and dive with wings so apt to use.
Where will you go? Their eyes are sharp.
They see the filthy places your
most frightened mind drives you to choose
as those of strength avoid to use.
They hate to seek you in the dirt,
but they do that just you to hurt
not for a useful aim they have
but for their pride when they show off
as the weak are born for the...

Mayan Spring
Mayan Spring
Taavi is embraced by the steam heat of thermal water shooting from a hot spring over the cliff and into the pool he stands in. A rainbow graces the mist from the cascade that pelts him. The colors are a sign of Ixchel the Mayan goddess of love whose name in hieroglyphics is Chak Chel or ‘large rainbow.’
The risk of getting caught in the swell of tropic desire makes him step out of geyser rain. But the rainbow goddess summons him back and again he feels her pour liquid sunshine upon his rise toward heaven.
The society of women bathers convenes with...
