Micawberish Bathetic Twaddle
Knee deep and waist-ing away in romantic slush
tell me, how much of this is to much mush?!!
In an idyllic world of Eden vegetarians
how many meat eaters will it take to rip apart
the fluffy feelings of never-ending lust
and desire for hearts and pink cotton candy?!
ONE PERSON’S _utopia_ IS ONLY ONE VIEW
Bacon!! Yeah, Baby!! Fat sliced fucking BACON!
a carnivore’s drooling delight salivating towards
Utopia for taste buds, budding to ecstacy
fried to the very soul of the Heterotroph!
There IS NO utopia!

Blessed Be Unto The Wind
Blessed be unto the wind
Close my eyes, traveling to a land long before the creation of sin
I hear the hooves of chariots as man stand in God’s image
Oh, greatness of thou Pyramids, Pharaohs calling within another dimension
The Nile, I bathed the heritage of my melanin in the bosom of its depth
The Ankh, my amulet adorned proudly around my neck
I breathed the air, so laden of roses, frankincense, myrrh and sweet-smelling Jasmine
Goddesses bowing unto their God’s Psalms, the spillage of blood as history begins ...

Kernel Version Unknown .12
It's time Kay] I knew it was time, I had to go back in. I'd been procrastinating, distracting myself, going back to the datastream, to him, had been gnawing on me, haunting me, I had to face the fear of going back again, the uncertainty, trepidation. If pain was the blueprint of our system then fear was definitely a background programme constantly running, sometimes coming to the forefront to overwrite whatever it wanted, controlling, seizing, maintaining the status quo.
I had no idea what I was going to tell the commander, I'll skate by on some half-baked lie again no doubt. I've...

WaterNymphDream
You arrived at sunrise
A place where birth
bathes amongst
gatherering clouds
Water awaits you
Stilled blemished bruises
Internal blood
Of life
Swims towards reflections
Where waves gently carressed
each woman that you were before
(The man you would become)
An androgyn amoeba in motion
Alters its axis, we extend
our worlds
You arrived at sunset
A place where birth
bathes amongst
gatherering clouds
A place where birth
bathes amongst
gatherering clouds
Water awaits you
Stilled blemished bruises
Internal blood
Of life
Swims towards reflections
Where waves gently carressed
each woman that you were before
(The man you would become)
An androgyn amoeba in motion
Alters its axis, we extend
our worlds
You arrived at sunset
A place where birth
bathes amongst
gatherering clouds

Silent Shadows- Introductory Video Monologue
Like a newborn Phoenix, we rose from the ashes of despair. The obstacles were no match for us as we continued to grow. We spread our protective embrace across the globe, and united entire countries under our cause.
Like a colony of worker ants responding to their queen, we followed our orders loyally. There were times though, when I had no idea who I was seeing every time I looked into a mirror.
We stood strong before the faces of our enemies, not fearing the events that had still haunted the public to present times. For us, they merely became a bitter nightmare....

suncatcher
in the bitter broken dawn, I awoke bent on destruction
anarchy in my eyes curses on my tongue
the day spoke gently to me about truth
I wouldn't heed its call
hellbent I'd made up my mind
I would have things my way
the day tormented me but I was relentless
I chased down the sun intent on catching it
you can't capture the sun's wisdom or bend it to your will
the day was bright with optimism it mocked me in my scorn
a lonely misfit born of want
the sun set rules for the day
it would have patience, I would have none of...

Lyrics:
I'd love to know
How does the hearts love grow?
I'd love to see
What people think of me
I'd love to know
Where will my life path go?
I'd love to see
In ten years where I'll be
I'd love to know
Will I still grow when i'm older?
Will I find the one who lets me lean on her shoulder?
Will I be like Folger's
Fresh, yes
Will I be like Folger's
Fresh
I want to...

A Quintuple of Poets: Part V
Emily Dickinson, 415 Christian Era
Alexandria, Egypt
eschewed religion
despite horrific consequences;
crucified footsteps
along Via Dolorosa;
questioned theology;
but, wisely
outlining acceptable worship
beyond prayer beads, books
charting astrology;
welcomed all regardless
for who they were;
mathematical language
calculated fibrous anomalies
within her Neoplatonist...

Mystic
Everything must have in it a sharp seasoning of truth.” St. Jerome
Minds to wonder of unseen greatness
For strength lies into the unknown
Grasping the knowledge to make one stand tall
Yet, we fall under the grace of man
Failing our purpose of truth in eyes of our Creator
Wars, famine, hunger
We bow in grace
Shed tears, give of our souls to reach beyond our hearts
The bombs continue
Flies and propaganda resides in diverse places
Monetary relief falls short of the glory of our sacred Deity
We seek higher truth,...

Wake up!
Like zombies we are;
living in a trance.
Living to satiate our hunger—
hunger for power, wealth, fame n lust.
It's high time that we pulled ourselves
out of this trance
and woke up to reality.
A reality that's naked:
sans clothes of illusion.
~A reality of who we are~
living in a trance.
Living to satiate our hunger—
hunger for power, wealth, fame n lust.
It's high time that we pulled ourselves
out of this trance
and woke up to reality.
A reality that's naked:
sans clothes of illusion.
~A reality of who we are~

The End
In the end
We are meat (organic compounds)
Ingested by the animals
We are earth (minerals)
Combined into stone
We are air (gases)
Released to the atmosphere
We are fluid (water)
Evaporated to the clouds
We are fire (energy)
Radiated to the environment
We are spirit (soul)
Released to the heavens
We are thought (memories)
Relegated to the past
We are inspiration (ideas)
Projected to the future
We are meat (organic compounds)
Ingested by the animals
We are earth (minerals)
Combined into stone
We are air (gases)
Released to the atmosphere
We are fluid (water)
Evaporated to the clouds
We are fire (energy)
Radiated to the environment
We are spirit (soul)
Released to the heavens
We are thought (memories)
Relegated to the past
We are inspiration (ideas)
Projected to the future

May We All
May
we all
hold beauty
close to our hearts,
the smile of a child,
real heartfelt emotions,
care we have for each other,
bright sunrises in the morning
special thoughts kept in our memories
and the wisdom we gather as we grow.
