Light Speed

    

To every question,
there is action asking you
to hear what you see,

 

And how to listen
becomes a lesson you need
to learn to be free

 

Unnattachment is
Independent of so called
high powers that be

 

To love at light speed
Emotions overflow and
become your creed as

 

Connections unfold
in undulating molds of
truths called poetry

 

Journals of journeys
bent to warp your time and space,
And cosmic questions

 

calling attentions,
Commanding actions that ask
you know who you be…

 

Such innerstanding
hears and feels for Light you see,
Fulfilling the need,

 

Pay close mind, because
Lack response IS a response,
and it always was…

 

Trust and believe.

The Battle of Her and She

(A Senryu Series, 5-7-5)

She bid follow it,...
With eyes of the interest
to no longer see
*
her ability
to start fires sans a match
as true excellence...
*
Serendipitous
to a freewheeling Stonehenge
set up on a rock,
*
Whatever the scene,
Aged technology is her
Master and Servant,
*
She thinks leverage,
Has another beverage
THAT brand of courage,
*
Cause here's where she is,
Rich among opportunists,
Not originals...
*
Unaccountable
for what she's responsible...
And the weakest link

The Wild Blue

I’ve been running on to
For a very long time;
It’s just what you do
in the wild blue
Once sprung from
What kept you safe when green and young,
It disgusts me
failing change, as it is my nature;
Or to find myself too preprogrammed
To execute
A full, simple easy reboot,
You do what you can…
Not all about loot,
It’s just what you do
When you want to do better
And have the sheer will
to go for what you want to know,
One’s eyes can only hold so much water…
And for this strength,
They will chide,
Swinging wild wicked spells and incantations,
Mashing on a destiny
But what can tadpoles know of me?
Clinging to the moving floor
Huddled like food in leaves of the vine,
As if they could know mine.  Ha!
They know nothing of destiny -
They have only seen the river,
They know nothing of the sea!

The One Sided Mirror

 

 

Prepare; propel

Awaken from spells;

As Gecko lied, no goodness of greed,

But the prince and princess whine and plead,

It's all become a part of me,

Here, living; driving my will,

asking me, over and over again

whether I know of this or that,

selling to me the impossible dream

and how to use their credit card

to pay the impossible bill,

a scheme

*

At a litter of lies televised,

*

I laugh and think, how brilliant;

This master plan; Brooks Bros. clad

gangstas and crooks unfolding

to be shown on every station, in every home,

deranging gods and methane politics,

launching a full and methodical diss

on resources and opportunity; our freedom and

Sanctuary,
*

All while we watch the coming abyss,

Falsified furrows of rug-burned brows

and deadpan smiles gleaming with sets of

life-time veneers on sharpened teeth,

promising cheer in friendly commercials

funded by bank fees laid on the waitress,

preyed on the nurses; counselors, and workers,

raping the widows and honest educators,

*

powerlessly, we, the people, paying for

bank bonuses, bait and switch advertising

Even as we're evicted from homes,

And our tax dollars flow to greed with zero fees

for the poorly regulated rescues

of financial institutions like these;

Some on the brink colapse,

but many, bailed out for their frenzied greed,

Solvent banks, with little debt or need for Tarp

Borrowed millions of your hard earned tax dollars

free, free, free; free, free,
Free;

doing no work, gaining millions in interest,

paying the balance like good little thieves,

*

Then more commercials...with kids and kittens,

while cutting millions of in philanthropic spending

from groups they'd been supporting for years,

appearing as fans of the same communities

they are now evicting

*

The greed that needs
A 12 step program,

Three or four 90 day slams; but unlike any other addiction,

All the fun had,

looks more like cash
in today's tell-all, peek-a-boo land,

The users have their drug of choice

With no concern for others, or desire to let go,

There's no way around it,

and and it can't be done alone

*

We'd like to give them a hand,

But man, those commercials are funny as hell,

The perfect distracted in way of harm,

Shrouding names and ironies; connections and truths

and the perfect timing of stories ignored like,

'Iraq, the Blanket Keeping S&L Scandals from You',

Sometimes you gottta laugh at how

It's all so very clever...the powers that woo,

Misconfabulating through distant satellites to

expectant faces from

The one sided mirror,

hoping every home, has an uninformed fool
