An Earthly New Mantra

Any new nation that arises from the ashes
Of an old nation that has left behind
Becomes a Declaration of Independence
Leading a pathway from tyranny and cruelty
Is still intolerable in some places today; hence
Us all turning our swords into plowshares how
Cultivating all the best that life has to offer
Instead of the completely gargantuan lies
Assaults against the morality and decency
Of all of mankind; and you better not bet
Against any of it or all of it; unless you are mistaken
In the belief that you won’t be held accountable

We will be with you always

WE WILL BE WITH YOU ALWAYS

clinging to our bodies, a most potent poison
on such a massive force humanity seems in oblivion
rendering all of us unprepared and hopeless
unprecedented and never been this helpless

could it be that it is really the end?
foretold and prophesied from previous generations?
or this is an act of carelessness, sort of random?
pushing us to feel how it is to be doomed?

alas, the world seems scurrying
praying and kneeling begging for mercy
hypocritical in a far reaching effect
i can feel it, looks very temporary

it reminds me when 9/11 happened
the same situation and the same pattern
before that event the churches were so empty
then- the wails and fears it seemed like eternity

it came to pass, we have survived
again, back to normal like it always was
same old habits of going astray
and again, back to ordinary ways

then this virus came, what a surprise
we are helpless again, this time it is more than that
fear and panic seems the rule of the day
what do we do? again...kneel and pray

oh yes, oh Lord we ask
for the last time, please do forgive us
in Your Hands, please don't make us astray
this time, we will be with You, Always.

IN THE NAME OF OUR FATHER, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT

we lay down to you our trust
to you we offer, our soul, body and heart
for You alone Lord can truly save us
not anyone, not any force but YOU our God.

Amen.

Humanity, we're losing it (for UKRAINE)

humanity, we're losing it

I dedicate this to all victims of war, specifically UKRAINE, The newest victim.



humanity where are we?
in full gear, fully armed
we are on the war path
and directly heading to be damned
Kyiv a city of beauty and light
accosted by the atrocities
of what is wrong and unjust

have we gone berserk
have we lost our minds?
have we embraced the dark
and forget there is light?
oh what an excuse, imperialist
here and there:
making the rich live in decadence
while the poor and wretched live lower than dirt?

you have forgotten
this day has been prophesied
it has been written and destined
alas, the eighty percent in jubilation
thinking it is their redemption
perhaps, it is..

but oh no, this is the mark
the progression of the "haves"
at the expense of the have "nots"
sure, laugh at me, I face your contempt
it is my fault for not standing up
as you remain silent to my pleas

the time has come
let us face and dance
your God and my God,
is one and the same

but my right to live,
my freedom,
doesn't make any difference
we're all born naked
and back to dust no more no less
one and the same..rotten
and when dead
buried in the same dirt.





Thanks all for reading andor commenting.

I woke!

I woke today, just like yesterday, but with winters rain against my window pane, on this summers day, was wrong!, , no sunlight shadow crossed my bedroom there, no birdsong noone to care, and the light would dim, lie down and die, forsaken who? you or I? brave we stand, hand in hand, with those who care, are always there, and tomorrow will be, with or without you or me.

The Child

As I laid sprawled out on the park bench one summers afternoon
She sat there pleased to be away from the human bustle
I knew her, not for long but i knew her
Through the slats of the park bench her little boy showed me the clover flower
he had picked from the lawn
He hung it over one of the slats to show me it in wonder
I saw what he saw and through his eyes I became a born again child.

Oh Valentine !

This crazy world spinning around
All the time circling the sun
Then like a rainbow there you are
Your face shining like a constellation of stars
Sharing your face with mine
Strangers living in even stranger times
Each with our own burning desires
Fueling our hopes and dreams
Falls like the rain something called magic
Desert dust sprinkled by rain dancers
On top of all the little clouds pirouetting
Filling our minds and hearts overflowing
With an irresistible desire for each other
With undying devotion till our parting ways
Oh Valentine.!!!

Phonaesthetically speaking

Phonaesthetically speaking its like 123
Like William once told us, its like A B C
So write your mystical thoughts
And clever words that rhyme
But make sure Iambic Pentameter
Doesn't go sadly out of time, again, ooops!

The viral blues

A jazz band
Playing via Zoom
Through the fog of fever
In the room
A sneezing guitar
An anosmic saxophone
A trembling bass
A confused piano
A hickuping trumpet
A coughing drum
And a hoarse-voiced singer
All wishing
A Happy New 2022 Year
And for Covid
To disappear

The asent of man. A riddle What points in history am I refering to. overall also

A new beging to inlighten , It last only 120 years A tragety of the mind it soon becomes
To be constraind with blindness of thought
No way out
Now we see the planets
We see only a little but it is a begining
We are 1500 years behind
We are seeing faster and faster now
Our growth is beyond our ability to catch up Should be 1500 years ahead in thought and science
They search but the answers can not come to many, for there minds are intraped, Many types of the same restraint. Now
our attention is governed by our emotions
Quick thought decised as deep thought is what we crave
Books sit on Library shelves, the development of mind awaints
Our thought molds as we are adicted to short fullfilling thought
My sadness is emence, the mind of man astray
