Beyond this

Ash

The ever-falling stardust 

spins ...drifts, 

shimmies, shifts 

sparkling intermittently

reflecting background lights 

of distant stars

each dancing to its own beat

residual effects, moving on

acting upon seemingly random objects

in periodic shifts 

as gravimetric forces realign

Bending light towards a new dimension 

Arriving in a ripple of revolving space-time

As if, Your spirit climbing into mine

As the bubble envelopes us

we now move together

A warming glow lights our capsule

guided by will perhaps

A black hole opening near us

We swan dive into a dream state

flying high overlooking clo...

Traffic jam

honking horns

won't work this time

everybody knows what's up

no fast way out

scream and shout ...

all you want

it won't help

never did, 

never has, 

never will

jump up and down 

act the clown

nothing to do, but...

simmer down

slow your roll

change to a cool jazz station

let go of the moment

blow a kiss 

and let t go

The idea

The idea

Of flying through space

sounds cool

Till it occurs to you…

while you’re away

There may not be

a world

to come home to

In God We Trust.

Whose? What!

Let the archeologists debate

Leaving mankind to its fate’’’

Unless love conquers hate,

then we’re done

Country politics

Politics as usual

politics and parlor tricks

Gerrymandered and grand standing

back and forth insults

constituents charged the dime

every time delivering a cut

to waiting special interest groups

feeding frenzy of madness, 

with budget cuts to the poor and needy

more pork for the greedy

subjective, objective

predispositions, stated case

relevance, common sense

personal opinions over facts

now devolved to slander 

outright lies and personal attacks

hold on! let's give every dog a bone

lets take this all in stride...

take a recess from this mess

get this good food on this table blessed

i want to engage ...

Beat your drum

Veterans drum circle

common thoughts 

sometimes 

differences

immaterial matters

built upon shades 

of individual inflection points 

perspectives 

which provide hidden gifts

smashing myths

as revelations carry

characteristics of change

to each point on the graph 

of potential inputs to the equation

for the calculus to run

of the possible conclusions

your ignorance will be televised

no more revolution required

stone age mindset

rated in fear 

centered on rage

taking center stage 

wait a moment

here comes the upgrade

A day at the office

new job

Snappy new suit

monitor comes to life

Android named Sam comes on

we jump in 30 seconds

a conveyer belt 

starts to move 

the row of seats 

to an opening door

pop... the jet starts to shake

beginning to disintegrate

to smoke and dust

Head for the door

last point of contact

the bottom of the doorway

Reciprocal

Machine guns 

blaze away 

breaking the silence

Interrupting 

peace and tranquility

With hatred and violence. 

After the smoke and dust Settle 

or are carried off by mystic winds

Those soldiers not killed or maimed 

lost their sanity, 

others had their humanity deranged

Loose packs of the heartless, 

Murders, and thieves

Calling themselves Patriots. 

Whatever that means

Searching for survivors 

just for the thrill of the kill

Finish them!

The Calling

Shake a leg. get busy

time to get your A* Up

lazy means dead to life

very unwise at this time

Get Up! Sons and daughters 

of Abraham

Rise, witness this

in the full terrible glory

a humble man once said

love is the answer

you criticized him

Sorry, your loss...

energize your inner

man or woman

don't hesitate. 

don't procrastinate

Hell is opening its gates

no time to waste

put your full armor on

beat your drums

awaken your third eye

Here it comes, coming fast

another wave of needless confrontation

realize the tools of destruction

will surpass 

your worst expectation

Mind lock

Some days seem short and sweet

others draw on and on

where it goes on forever 

no one seems to smile

just shuffle their feet 

lower their heads and plow on

politicians still trying hard

getting nothing interesting done

All the while 

robbing us blind

stop the world 

i want to get off

thinking out loud music in my head, 

Jimi Hendrix, 1983 a merman i should be

i was having a quiet moment to myself

taking a walk to nowhere

had no particular destination 

in mind, just walking to sort things out

just thought... i'd know it 

when i got there

had a fairly usual day

talked to one of my brothers 

for a couple of h...

Clown Planet

Seems like a shadow is falling
all over the earth

America has been top on the world
doing better than alright

after the ravaging over the planet
of two world wars

Hitler had his blitzkrieg
Americas got its total war

Holy s-Krieg, with star wars,
iron dome, AI, drone swarm

January 6, was just a dress rehearsal
for the master switch being pulled

initiating the cascade, chain-reaction
for the reversal of democracy

the mission cog, was put on place
programmed by Putin himself

wish it could be said
of sound mind and good health

perhaps a token of the man
in the mirror of the 2025 plan


in a show of hands, fing...
