Crepuscular Magic


Oh what magic tonight!
The shawl of night
cloaks the earth and sea,
Shore-side flooded with liquid blue-moon
and
waves of silver crested guitar chords.

Translucent foam and chromatic
fish scales
glitter and crash upon the still rocks of the break-wall.

The ebb of the lake, an eternal dace
extending in every direction.


Let us surrender to the tide's animal magnetism.
Let it carry us
away, inundate ourselves in unknown depths.
The night's shadowy arms are
open for us,
the full body of the moon awaits.

Let us leave the
comfort of the shore, my love,
Let us challenge the edges of earth,
the
nonexistent edges, with our love,
our lives' preserve.

Dreams of Jhana

Thoughts travel
riding the ripples.
Pluvial pattering
innumerable

driblets fuse into
vast cyan-blue body.
Solemn reverie,

reflections by the water.
Coincidental myths?
Matter's solid
illusion?
Propaganda spread
over Linear Time?
natural hidden
treasures
lost in a darkened sub-region
of a mountain top Mind?


Pining amongst
heathers and lindens.
Nasal donations.
Sweet
nosegays
baskets of gold
and lavender.
Sky bohemians'
organic
tenements.
No leases
no mortgages
no rent to be paid
no landlords
no concept of
ownership.

Inhaling every
deep
delicious breath
the airborne essence of
sugar beets
cherries

blueberries
peaches and plums.
Thanks and praise
to the soil and its
generous sentient
pillars of plenty!
Thanks and praise to
the Great Lakes'
fecund mitten and
most bountiful
open hand of
vegetation!

Bluebells sway
windward
nodding in time

striking a perfect note
a content and
soundless chime.
Echoes of
imperturbable
inner peace.

Escaping from
suburban doldrums
city clamor
to this
Remote, grassy
metropolis retreat.

Comfortably observing
diverse citizenry
flying, crawling,
coexisting
hive minded, terminal
Ah to be sweet human meat
of rare individual me
has never been so satisfying!

So long Televised
Textbook comfort!
Supplemental supermarket
lifestyle
You shall
not be missed!

Finding my early morn tranquility.
Free from the stop
and go stop and go
clangor of consumptive swallowing.
No mad hollow
earth eruptions and eructations
bellowing from the metallurgic bowels of
lethargic curbside-pickup brontosaurs.
Not hearing the insatiable devouring roar
as idle Tringali sanitation trucks gorge
on last week's bacterial
refuse.

Man made curses lift!
Colors brighten!
The air more
crisp!
Away from the concrete cookie cut culture!

No industrial
clawing.
No chainsaws grinding
their steel puppet teeth
into the
hardbit grizzled bark
of any sad shrill moaning oak.
Remembering how sad

the plaintive trill of the
newly nest-less mourning dove.
Watching
those
vagrant dark eyes bathe in backyard
dry dust
Broken wing
display upon
apathetic concrete conglomerate.
No traveling teams of
BlueJean'd lawn docs.
No mercenary surgeons maneuvering
bulky bladed machinery
Faraway from the leaf-blower's breathless bray
No militant mowers
No bulimic bushwhackers
No unprovoked victimization.
Faraway
from the vicious slaughtering
of ancient arbor ascetics.
Out here the
green is healthy widespread
and life rich

No carbine weathered
concrete.
No car-wreck back alley catacombs.
Absent are the monoxide
vapors
and roaming minimum wage aromas of
burnt grease and fried oil.

Far from all those
Drunken gasoline fueled grumblings
traveling out
through the bourgeoisie's bowels
the whishing traffic of
wishful clock
work cruisers
wheeling down Woodward Ave.
Far from the miles and miles
of smog
congested hiway histamine.
Extending my lungs filling them to
the fullest!
Free from the blackdeath shadows and fumes
hovering over
the old highway city skyline.
miles away from the miles and miles of manic
exhaust.
No stagnant minivans
No luxury sedans
coups rigs or suvs

No towering steel/glass tombstones
looming overhead
No barren swaths of tar
burying the terra firma whatsoever.
Absent are the jagged ground
rattlings
of tired tires trundling down
eroded frostheaved METDET
sidestreets.
No sirens pursuing speed's allure
and death's dangerous hood
overturned in the distance.

How sad the old broken
down
approach
same slow routine
menial trudge
sad stopping yellow eyes
the communal Smart Bus
coming round the corner to
collect cold
coffee cup change.
How tragically human
the desolate rough cough
depression
halo of dust bowl deja vu mystique
surrounding anonymous bus
stop angels
Transcendent eyes storing the
brine of empyrean tears
body of Eden's tragedy
Descended from a fallen
man manipulated
far off misconception of a
judgment gated heaven
Hopping the
indifferent bus with hope.
He's made it! He's gonna reach the shelter
on time tonight.
Fistful of tokens in his pocket.
In his being
a open hoard
of gold reserve.

My open eyes
revolving doors
of perpetual
perceptual poetry
unscripted tragedy
drama and comedy
unending
pastoral and urban
stories play out before me!

Free!
Free! Free!
Sing
enlightened
songbirds
trilling widespread
melodies
burgeoning in
tiny hearts!
sky's vast, timeless
influence
endures and resonates
in austere vocal art!
beautiful
unpretentious music
free of
preconceived
production values
Void of
elaborate adornments
Jazz
spirits
feather breasted falsettos
treetop folksingers
dulcet winged
vehicles of Dzogchen.

Sounds of summer gatherings
playful pinewood
pattering
competitive chattering
fine furred foragers
engage in
fauna acorn games
no organization
no rules, affiliation or score

everybody wins
everybody loses
good nature sportsmanship
all season 'round.

Woe to thee
oh waning natural
world!
Source
of life, inspiration,
and enlightened entertainment.

Tester and
safe haven
for Mind Body Soul.
Pure product of
mathematical and
scientific genius!
Technology is naught but
a neurotic mistress,
a self destructive
narcotic love,
a haggard shrew
when compared
to you

Like a pleasant sponge
I absorb a cup of
heavenly cirrus

keeping warm under
a naked blanket of
soothing benevolent
radiant bliss.

Cold, lonesome thirst quenched!
now an empty head

spectator lost in admiration:
most vaulted and exultant
expression
of love and pain!
Every breath avant garde!
Art in its highest form!

Every color in the picture
of life challenging the earthly
concepts
of universal norm!

Canopy of evergreens
supine body
drifting
mind
shore-side seclusion
simply sublime!

Beams of citrus light
refreshing lemon icterine
peeking through
twisted weave-work of
green grandfather leaves
Oh wistful grass!
beloved resting spot
for my weary head -
- Just another spiritual
broken soul intellectual

lost in a time-bound
search for meaning
in this maddening
modern
world.
Believing in nothing -
except for my
Firm in my belief:

once fully awakened, we
can cure the cyclical
epidemic
of suffering.

I come here to regain balance.
Days are tightropes we all
must walk.
I make my way across
hands open to receive every present

life presents
arms outstretched without burden
ready for death's
free-fall embrace.

I suffer many hardships
like all
succumb to
many temptations
like most
I wander from the path
from time to time

always feeling the force
of the internal/external
omnipresent source

keeping me from straying too far.

Like any mortal miser
I once
hoarded the ruby flames
of unbridled earthly desire.
not wishing to
spend eternity
a puppet spinning on samsara's wire
I have since been
reformed
without being reborn and
have come to relinquish my grasp.


I have seen the full crystal
beauty of emptiness.
I meditate,
share, and pray
to see human hatred fade
like morning mist by
clear
bright midday.
To see all the faces of the world
lit up with diamond
clarity
i study, practice and speak
the gospel of equality and non
duality
hoping to see all the world shine
with golden radiance.


O what lies beyond those
thorns and impenetrable chaparrals?

Further drifts my Mind...

Flush with dreams of Jhana.


Landscape suddenly thrust
a swirling pointillist flux
colors
quickly coalescing
pure impressionism!
All praise to the omnipresent

anonymous artist!

lurid subconscious fears flare
like red dwarfs
in my minds eye
burning only momentarily
before collapsing in on
themselves
exploding in a brilliant supernova!
Immense white light
breaking the sound barrier
shattering my body, penetrating my mind

thrusting all thoughts into oblivion
floating...

Kye Ho! Kye Ho!

Away we go!
Alert mantra
wide eyed
meditation furlough!


Carried away by coral wings of imagination!

I harken to the
buddhabody bells
Dakinis' blissful beats of Damaru
a mortally wounded

peace keeping soldier
shielded by indestructible
chains of inner
radiance
lifted from the dollar stained
material midden battlefield


I am only a collection of eager dust particles
pure shimmering
conscious energy
free to explore the universe of
material element and
non material essence
alike
existing in the void of nonexistence


traveling my eyes behold myriad
tender burdened faces
faces lost
in fog
faces lit up in full light
eager youthful faces
curious
self-conscious faces
greedy consumptive and conflicting faces
tired
sullen faces
gaunt starving faces
selfless helpful faces
stern
paternal faces
joyously overwhelmed faces
hidden political faces

faces manufactured in facade factories
natural loving faces
empty
innocent faces
peaceful enlightened faces
suffering faces – there are
plenty
smiling faces looking down from above
every face beautiful

every face a potential Buddha

I see the golden faces
saints
deities angels
ancient ageless faces
masters prophets and philosophes

the primordial face
the messianic face
faces of bodhisattvas

mystics and miracle workers

I see the reflection of life's

impermanent face and
fail to recognize my own
in its mirror of
non-duality

A tourist now at home
floating through seas
of mad
booming
solid material ghost towns
I walk in small circles
with the
citizenry
trapped in a neon skyscraper
electric market square
I
reconnect with familiar strangers
discerning cherished long
lost
friendships behind the
masks of newly assumed identities
I sit in on
heated sessions of
kaffeeklatsch
I silently join conversations
that have yet to begin
reminiscing the future
predicting the past

cyclical clock free
time defining discussions

a sudden,
overwhelming sensory barrage
the electromagnetic spectrum visible in its
entirety
stimulating jets of sub atomic particles
multiply endlessly

and extend
into...the...

adorn the royal diadem of the

spiraling magnetic webs,

a spectacular whirlpool of eruptions
and explosions!

volcanic reds, electric petals of pinks

I know I must live

Shed my habitual skin

Free to sail beyond the quasars

passing perpetual cemeteries en route to the eventual wedding

Like a seasoned
chain smoking
speakeasy sleuth
A mind's eye Sam Spade – I prematurely snuff out my cigarette
pick up my trusty sidekick pen,
pocket traveling notebook and survey the room.
Suspicious sundry of
circumstance and motive
outlining the alcohol enthralled milieu
As I write a pale citrine
beam of clean lemon light
illuminates the paper
thin margins,
empty space uniting each individual word
second hand smoke
upwreath
casual successions rise and dissipate,
rise and dissipate like
dusty noire barroom clockwork

My wandering attention span
scattered
in and out
a myriad of mind numbing conversations
like a hive sick
pollen drunk bee
without flower to land
stuck in the sinuous
sticky-sweet honeycomb
of day to day deja vu

Perdition's cherished tradition
Tip-tip-tipplin' time away
Drinking with a purpose
Drinking to forget
Drinking to converse
in a Sudden hiccup rumbling

feeling the night go from bad to worse

still nursing the effects of tomorrow's week long hang over

Every night--
passing perpetual cemeteries en route to the eventual wedding
Every night another daughter given away
Every night reciting more drunken vows

The groom gives his life away and still retains his suit?

nightly nuptial regurgitation
We're married to the floor
didnt we play this mad machines game already
Havent we sat in these exact broke back
rocking chairs before? --

(A year ago? A month maybe?
Yesterday? Last night?
...Perhaps in some vague
speck of memory (((
...belonging to a distant life. ...?
Who can ever remember --?
...I myself can vaguely recall ...

Staggering off in my moist riverbed shoes
After sinking my feet during a deep session
of drunken stream-side meditation
Off to the bar in search of some special native earthling...

-- someone one earth especially naïve enough to to take me home

yaw ...yaw )
yaw...)
to and fro ...
yawn.....)
yawn ...)
..... )))) yawn further
away my attention
goes
feign formal:::: feign normal
waning conversations...
blanking stares ...
Licking cocktail lips ...
flashing bedpost eyelashes ...
quickly outrunning my own pace ...

Tell me, Are you the wobbling turveying mirror talking in my dreams?

Is this the line for fun house admittance?

Are you young and trusting?
Are you willing and waiting to be broken?

Who's invading the moon at this hour?
Someone should wake and warn Buzz Aldrin!

Oh!
close the night shade – I'm bottomed out !
everyone can see straight through the
burgundy stained porthole of my submerged mouth

Ahoy!
My wine
glass remains stubborn
also hard of hearing
Its tongue wont stop gnawing
and lashing my ear

Ersatz sense of tranquility
artificial mind
alteration
false reassurances offered by
a superfluous flow of
superficial nerve stupor
Transient ghosts of self
dissipating like
so many opaque puffs of smoke

Coming down in need of a fix
the female touch is a drug!
No high like the liberating rush induced by the flesh!
Frustrations of a withdrawn heart
addiction leading my alcohol fueled pursuit
Flipping cards in search of the perfect mental match
Kindred wildness
a fellow turbulent weather lover
an untamed yet to be named sheer black sheep spirit
Someone with a shared reckless
reverence for life
though still reverential enough to enjoy
the intimacy of storm-bound summer nights

I don't care about your designer shoes!
I want a barefooted flower child for my bride!
With an Authentic tan
A true daughter of the sun!
Free flowing honey dirt locks or
hair the color of roasted coffee
sweet warm melt chocolate pools for her eyes
or an iris outshining clear bright azure skies
A smile like a sharp sexy knife
that could very well kill me!

I don't want to be bothered by another bored android!
I refuse to contend with a black berry for your attention!
I want face to face affection!
No viral or cell phone connections!

I won't sit through another mindless sappy spew
of box office radio branded love!
I don't want another girl who sits with her suburban friends
thinking acting talking and dressing
all in the same overpriced fashion

Always looking for some clown to come along
Searching for some beefed up
benefactor to bankroll material habits

See I refuse to be when of your
idols from Mtv!
That's not me! Not Me!
No not me.

Warm Winter Cozied

Tucked away in the womb of our mother's sylvan oasis...

--We nestle 'neath sugar
coated canopies
:::Snowy pixilations of the juniper's sway::::
perfect motion
with the celestial bodies of ursa major ::::::::::::::::::
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
(shimmering images of our love
dancing
around the outer edge of the galaxy....

...an undying universal art
form **)

bare pale moon...
naked ghost dance...
flesh gliding atop the
ivory/green

...palpatations .... heavy breathing ;) lovers heaving
quirky quivers ;) pleasurable moans ...
passionate shivers...
-- all collimating in a
sonorous
sensual choral fondue ...
Writhing in ecstasy as we lose ourselves

in sexual catharsis :::
:::warm bodily embraces... saturate hugs
alivening
spirit body mind and loins
amid the dry skin depression of winter..!

Mounting friction ignites a fuse...
body tempatures flare...
exchanging
sanative caresses...
titivating each other's senses...
Tendril finger tips
scratching
passionate billet douxs...

My little
angel faced Nature lover ...
my fiery exhibitionist...
-- Lips lit up with a
devilish grin
-- body of a goddess ...
eyes effervescent with sin ...
with tender eagerness...
your healthy pale glittered::: body emerges
hair tousled
and wet....
Joined in carnal merry making...
Firm hands make their way over
fleshy hillocks
tracing the edges of supple areolae
moving across
glistening flesh
following a trail of goosebumps
down your delicate rib
cage
I yield obediently to plant a kiss
upon your moistened navel

lapping up every driblet
savoring every last dropp of amatory nectar

running down the perfect curvature of your back
smooth ample buttocks

fingers slip their way into the warming dampness
of your fertile vale

denude, confident
revealing naked vulnerabilities
stroking handling
with utmost devotion
your parted lips promising pleasure
to my throbbing
manhood
a tickling whirl of your tongue...
broad moist ...
...rousing urges
coarse through my veins
as you draw me in...taking every inch
legs spread... back arched ...
seducing and contorting
you yield to my untamed
savagery
muscles tense... withstanding pressure
with vigorous stamina

electricity fusing
tremolos of love echo
throughout our halcyon dome

two souls transcending
unfastened from the onus of the world
...
...circulating shards of cirrus unite ...
:::forming one lively cloud burst
::: ::: ::: ::: ::: :::

together we reach our zenith !

...drifting in the sheets of winter..
-- we
momentarily manage to escape ourselves ---
--staring into gratified eyes ....
--we
bask in the glow of our own nakedness...

...we think back and reminsce
ah,,,,,,
--the love we made two seconds ago...!

Because You Are A Wandering Light

Because you are a wandering light
I love you that much more in the darkness.
In the dark, golden bands of cestus
cast illuminate rings that
encircle your bodice.

Nocturnal flower, Celestial centerpiece,
under the full moon your navel blooms like
soft starry trillium,
shadows flee
from your hair like the fluttering
eyes of Aphrodite.

Because you are pure gold your beauty knows
the farthest depths of the earth.
Subterrane Vault, stored in you are the
submerged secrets of the
river bed,
the sunken treasures of the cove

Guiding pillar,
Revolving tower,
Lend to my eyes your light,
so I may see the entirety
of life's great ocean.

Sustaining mineral, Shining ore,
Place just a small portion, a single coin
of your inherited fortune in my palm,
So I may purchase the world for you.

Orgasmic Compensation Offered in my Cosmic Defeat

Star child, daughter of Cassiopeia
Immense being of the night
hovering above me
heaven's intimate eclipse
Oblivion's gravitational navigator

dark matter shepherdess of the abyss
Manipulating the spheres steady ellipse!

Allow me the chance to chart your constellations
hands like fiery mineral
streaking across your Milkyway torso

Celestial Body!
Combustible Star factory!
Stellar supernova shotgun eyes!
Naked black hole! Destroyer of worlds!
Entering the void between your thighs
earthly body meets its demise

Oh Organic connection!

Orgasmic
compensation offered in my
cosmic defeat.

Small Bits of Illusion

Puppet reality prop-hand slips
illusive stage's illusionary curtain ripples

hypnagogic audience trance-like
Who noticed?
Did anyone else catch

Maya's fourth wall breach?

Maya,
may I please borrow-

without grasping,
five of your imaginary dollars
to go to the
illusionary store?
Can I make my purchases
and still hope to
retain
my emptiness?

Orgies and Anarchy!

OH, Who wants to hop-step down the
short porch steps with me?

Lets waltz through pools of damp
lambency,the street lights, tonight, shall be
our ball room chandeliers.

Run these listless side-streets,lickerish fiends of the night,
draped in naught save the bed's silken
sheets! Naked Ghost Dance, whishing through the
air, gliding with our tambourines in hand,
shake the forbidden salt, spice up the insipid gray land. Let us indulge in the flavors of life! take turns feeding sweet passers spoonfuls of paradise! Rhythmic foot beats, sounds of our spirits transgressing. Drunk, bald head and beard,
I pirouette, saunter, skip and sing,
brightening the lonely nights of lovely
passersby with the almonds of my silver nutshell
delivering.

O to be in full fettle! To know the vigor of old world
pioneers! To feel from the deepest inner regions the upswell of my voice – sonorous
and soaring! To shout and sing dear loved ones
new day tidings each and every morning! To pierce the eyes of silence with
spontaneous spears of laughter!

An orgy of infinite orgasms
henceforth may every poem be read! A naked invitation ushering all
earthly lovers to my bed!

I strip down to fellate the earth with
laurel lips of poesy –
My ode to you, Allen Ginsberg.

I want to impregnate the world with the
seeds of my seminal madness! I want to spawn a society of
naked,
loving, hugging
anarchy!

I want to summon Ken Kesey's ghost
Elevate society A world wide trip once last acid test
draw the the whole planet into the
pudding! Communing in the lime light of
Kosmo's backyard may we never come down!

Let us throw away all
tradition ritual manner and more
let us replace the phrase 'Thank you',
with: 'I love you'
'you're welcome',

with:
'I love you too'
What Laws laws laws so many laws prohibiting love
yet no law save than the engrained
could ever promote it.

All sex is incest in my mind
to me, that is a beautiful notion!

I want to buy a fruit cart stand in the middle of rush hour
intersections selling slices of watermelon, summer's
sanguine smiles, a penny a piece! I'll go broke exhausting body and
budget
singing and shouting poems to oncoming
traffic!

Its my goal to train my voice to
be impervious to tire tracks
Enable it to out run cars!

I want to live in a world full of
Artistic vagabonds
no where to go, nothing to spend.

Golden Graves of Ghana


Gold cannot quench thirst,
the driving effects only make dry mouths worse.
The ingestion of Gold cannot sustain the body,
the insoluble mineral only perpetuates hunger's curse.

Drowned in the pits poverty
eyes glossed over by the allure
A pitiful kings ransom – six dollars a day
golden promises paving the way for
human exploitation in the name of
mineral extraction

To starve in the stranglehold hands of poverty?
To suffocate under the material weight of the world?
To suffer above or be
swallowed below?

As avarice floods the desperate mind
torrents of mud
flood the gimcrack mines.

Foreign speculators act as black market
sorcerers waving imperial wands.
Chinese move in with machine precision

raising the stakes, razing the topsoil.
Invading anglos leave locals no
choice:
weapons sought to level the playing field
against the white man's wealth.

Local police bribed to play the blind-eye.
Clandestine
concessions,
retroactive legalization,
blurring the boarders between

legitimate enterprise and illegal excavation.

Children sifted from
the school systems
books buried in the murk,
education pawned from the
immediate payoff

Isolated communities exposed and exploited.
Towns and farms flooded with toxic filth bi-products,
mercury, cyanide, and lead
seep into the limited water supply,
ingested by the fish, consumed by
the people:
Human greed poisoning our innocence,
altering our very DNA.

Lives lost in the pursuit of poverty's
escape route, Broken bodies,

severed villages,
a single flake of beauty,
a single plate of
food.

Corporate Lament

Taking refuge behind talking silicon and celluloid curtains
Maya Black Hand Magic
preaching fearsome flying monkey propaganda
A billion of little squirming insect legs
supporting an unbalanced body headed by a vermin shout

Subhuman and grotesque a metamorphosis
garishly Kafkaesque
Chord pulled mid show
vociferous thunder of fable and speech reduced
to mere parrot squawk and caged ferret squeak
Revealed as an old wort nosed miser
the self bold wizard grown withered and weak

Fritz Lang's silent
horror
Frankensteined into a living Franchise
Metropolis Machine
nightmare reality
Mortal spawn of man's eternal enemy
Delivered unto
earth through the
collective uterus gateway

who sent you?
Which planet are you from?
What is your design for us us!

You milk dry
the grass and stones of the earth
scrapping draining drilling the
bottoms of the sea
Baking bread out of blood to feed death's blind brood
grinding lonesome bone
'til there's nothing left
save the unsaved
spineless heap of
shriveled petroleum flesh

You've altered the
chemistry of the world!
Have attempted to mutate the genes of the entire species!
Converting spiritual manna into mechanical food
your new Augmented brood shall be the
apathetic androids of the future!

Rhetorical butcher
dissecting aphonia riddled tongues
wrapped in
warped newsprint paper
hung adrip silently bleeding
from your tinted and
tilted network
windows of obscuratism

You breathe bubonic smoke
your atrous peacock eyes are Argus's all seeing gallows.
your smile a
narcotic noose
Burnoose executioner
pulling the Populous trapdoor
setting the intellectual burning stake
Watching as we writhe
and perform the last-gasp waltz
of spasms and twitches on your stage
of morbid amusement

Beezlebub's host Sinister sommelier
Belial's Back room deliverer of
Satanic party favors
Broker of bandwagon propositions

Urging all to join the campaign
Join the campaign! Join the campaign!
No oath no pledge
only anemic ink spilt
on contracts of pyrite
Muses exploited for commercial use-
Political speeches Slogans of advertising
'where's the harm in making
a living off of the dead? '

'Life is short and often dull
inflation necessitates the
abandonment of artistic principle
'Integrity is but a myth of the poor'
'Ideals the imaginary playmates of children'
'The struggle to help man
is futile ritual
Hopeless Hari Kari '

'Why labor in the dirt
When you can enjoy
the smooth aristocratic embrace
of air conditioned leather recliners
Looking down upon the filth laden streets
from antiseptic lemon scented oak
of private fifth avenue corner
offices? '

Corporate America
you've made a thieve out of me!
promoting Al Capone Coca Cola and the Cowboys,
you are responsible for
birthing John Dillinger!

You killed MKG and MLK!
Christ you've
killed god! and
eradicated his angels through out the ages
You Killed Jack Kerouac!
Tupac Shakur! Socrates! Bob Marley!
Hart Crane! the Marx
Bros! Bruce Lee!
Jimi Hendrix! Percy Shelley! John Lennon!
You killed the Beatles!

And though today he is still alive and well
when the
sad fateful day arrives
it shall be you whom I hold responsible
for my father's death
You are responsible for the death of all our
fathers!

You demonized Mohammedan angels in pursuit of Allah!
You cast the world into your storybook of extremes!
Stormbound the senses with threats of
impending terror from all angles
of earth and sea
You've marketed ours
as the final age of biblical culmination
profiting from doomsday prophecy!

You've killed all the world's heroes!
Cleansed the race of its hope.

You thought you had killed poetry
Now we are writing
to let you know
it isn't so!

masked by progress and prosperity
your bloated moribund face
mirrors man's futility
Your assembly line agenda
attempts to
monopolize morality
condemning society to abide by
your creed of
commercial identity

You seem to believe you own the world
and all its inhabitants
keeping us tethered in mobile bondage
a modern anonymous
mass of wireless communicators
working in order to pay your bills

But the world belongs to us we belong to the world
you are simply a
passing figment of our collective imaginings

It's clear to me you are
nobody's dream
but a mushrooming man made
mausoleun nightmare
trapped in the warped twisted chambers
of cob webbed Caligula logic

Know one knows how we arrived to this point
Few seem to believe we
can turn back our coarse
Everyone seems to think you are as inevitable as death
yet not even death could be so cruel and inhumane

Life with you is just one swift circular succession of
passionate fucks and
innocent lays

By now I've worked over a dozen jobs
in my short life
and have
quit them all
I've seen too many good people
devoured alive
in your
kitchens delis and dining rooms
your cynical cannibalistic appetite
for the human heart is insatiable

Temporal fire of wounded
mortal vanity
and abandoned love
you charred the well intentioned dirt
with your fiery agenda
Leaving your name scorched
in the ash and
cinder of my poetry

Their will be no more self aggrandizing fables
celebrating your Cerberean glory
Future generations will see you
unmasked
as the menacing hound of hell
we the people we the poets will
make sure of it

I'll sabotage my own career
scare away any
prospective publishers
if that's what it takes
so be it
literary success is overrated anyway

I'm not one for conspiracy theories
but

if there is indeed a secret world wide shadow
organization
controlling the lives and
manipulating the thoughts of the masses
I want to force them out of their draconian lairs
I demand they step into the
public light
in order to silence me

I wish to die by strangulation
hung
from the hooks of their red right hand
My pen is truly suicidal!

Martyr for the cause of truth and beauty!

When will people wake up
and just stop caring?
when will we decide to just walk away from
this
nonsensical mode of false living?
Can't they see?
Its just us
we
invest all believe into creating
the constructs of our reality

Oh
Nunzio! Nunzio! Nunzio!
What foreign language did thou speak?
When you
spoke of the way
Did they not listen?
Not comprehend
hear nor read?

Did the board room brokers buy all stock
in truth and beauty?

Were all these virtues outsourced east?
How many centuries must man carry this blind burden of sad disillusioned eyes?

Mainstream
homogenization
identity sterilization
corporate castration
eunuch uniformity

Where are the balls!

This is not us! Is not our will!

Not how we want nor were meant to live!

Sympathetic smiles knowing
head nods
understanding were all in it together
suffering silently side by side

We all should be shouting!
This is not me! This is not my life! These are not my concerns!
But everyman's concern is everyman's concern
I am everyman and frankly I am over burdened

But I know I am
not one man fighting
the battle for seven billion
together we are the
infinite strong
and we are leading the battle against ourselves
