Standing still the earth revolving under my feet, trodden in search of purpose, exploration to the end that is written to manifest but, will realization to Reason sought succumb, unlocked from the vault of unseen limits, that sleep of Mind will forever be, derived?

Firstly, no disrespect toward those poor and brave people whom chose to purchase from the reigning governance of the time, a ticket to battle-conflict taking place in some other part of the world other than Canada. Sold on the conviction that such action would save the conflict from spilling over to our shores by the perceived enemy of the day.
On the face of it Remembrance Day is a noble and unselfish recognition of those whom gave their life or were seriously harmed, in the course of duty on behalf of the nation for which they served however, the hypocrisy from a national perspective, lies in the simple fact that such an auspicious and solemn day to remember is not given to a national holiday.
By comparison, the federal government deems Banks important and significant enough to the interests of the nation, to decree a national holiday the first day of August of the year. Do not the men and women of the military service warrant equally, a day of national day of mourning?
One possible simple reason: were such a day so decreed most would likely spend it visiting the local mall for the Remembrance Day Sale, not for what it rightly deserves obviously. More likely, because commercial interests realized early there were few respectful ways to take advantage of the free time; so why give people the day off.
The above is definitely a cynical view expressed from an underlying sentiment: all conflicts of war initiated by those whom are least likely to find themselves on the battlefield; put to a command of those whom are cultivated and desperate for opportunity to display their prowess and ability; and then, put upon the shoulders of common men and women to make the ultimate sacrifice and their families, who are left to suffer the pain of such loss.
This cynicism is further fueled by the purported cost-saving policy of the Canadian federal government to retire service people months short of qualifying for full pension following ten years of military service. Now that is something worth mournful remembrance.

Invention of Objective Reality: the derivative product of synchronistic, synergistic confluence of uniquely definable energies to objectify perceived reality manifestation for human biological senses’ appreciation of its presence in space and time
Step 1:
Cosmic consciousness filtered by Mind as Thought rendering equation of perception to potential reality’s form
Step 2:
Interpretation of conceptual reality defining elemental qualities, quantities construction
Step 3:
Transitioning conceptual reality to objective reality conformance
Step 4
Object of form contributing to human sensual perception of space and passage of time
Step 5:
Infinite repetition of Steps 1 – 4

Reciprocity In Mind
Huddled safely cocooned in a shell of my making
Hidden from the scourge of pervasive darkness
Protected from the blithe that meanders wantonly
Free of the wrath that burdens most
Unencumbered by the toils of daily life
Relinquished to the joy of self-fulfillment
Purchased from the pain of self-affliction
Comatose to the idleness of mind
Pursuant to retention of spirit
Intolerant to the voice of the righteous
Unforgiving to the purveyors of strife
Strengthened by knowledge of awareness
Unburdened by need for reward
Striving for reciprocity in mind

Digestive Cycle
Traversing the next threshold of time-phase passage
Lives of untold many stand to be impacted
Human talents once sought and justly rewarded
Find their advances suddenly thwarted
Marvels of invented advances decompose as dump-site fodder
Fading into obliviousness of civilized history’s record blotter
All that comes to live charts a reality, digestive cycle
First, the joy elation of emotion to a new arrival
Exuberance expressed over its achievement gains
Then, complacency, its presence a struggle for survival
As its reason of purpose increasingly wanes
Thereafter, forever lost, forgotten, to remain.

Happiness and Mirth?
T’were this 21st century era represented as a societal rubber-band,
Stretched each opposite way by caste’s differing hand,
Taken ultimately to a point it will no longer expand,
Forces unleashed by its breaking, a revolutionary fire it will fan.
Appeasement and contrite rhetoric will become increasingly hollow,
No longer will the meek find reason for it to swallow,
Nor for the mire and muck of impoverishment to wallow,
It is then the true wrath of the downtrodden will follow.
Barbed-wire and gated-walls will the outbreak resist,
But when all hope is lost, death becomes a virtue to enlist,
For the goal is not to the unfortunate whom now exist,
But to their progeny: for the same struggle not to persist.
This potential, destructive path need not find its birth,
Were each human-being given their common worth,
To equally share in the wealth given to this earth,
That life-lived be with fullness of happiness and mirth.

De-Politicizing Morality
Why is it that morally conscious people feel obliged to park or align their values for the rights of all humanity under the umbrellas of liberal or literalist movements? To do so only serves to politicize such concern that has proven time and again, disastrous.
The past, present and undoubted, future atrocities encumbering global humanity be they centered in the Middle East, Africa, or even now Russia with its demonization of the LGBT community in that country; a uniquely different manner of reaction/ response be demanded. Not by any one political camp but by ALL morally, conscious Humanity.
Enough is enough that the political and corporate elite subjugate national and international foreign policy to the demands of an oligarchy represented by such groups as the Bilderberg Group, Council of Foreign Relations, RAND Corporation and other similar elitist organizations who are widely known to direct the course of global political, economic and financial policy that is extolling pain, suffering and loss of life for all common Peoples of the World.
What will it take for this collective known as Humanity, to rightfully take-back ownership of the common-wealth this earthly presence has to bestow, to be shared equally amongst each living Soul?
In the heart of every caring individual finding the answer starts by DE-politicizing morality!
Like the planet, spinning, spiraling outward along with its cousin planets comprising this spacial galaxy, fueled by the energy of its central body Sun traveling through the dark void of space; the events comprising the history of Earth’s current epoch of human inhabitants, ravel timelessly toward an unknown destiny.
Each twenty-four hour cycle of Earth’s excursion toward the unknown speaks to the life stories of its seven-billion inhabitants. Stories that compose the nature of human existence within the fragile environment to which it has been mysteriously born. Stories diligently recorded and maintained over centuries of time-measured yet, authored for an unknown audience for it is evident through humanity’s ability to repeat its failings, to heed lessons taught through life-experience.
Contention surrounds the prospect that destiny plays important in the flow and ebb of human experience, a guiding energy toward an as-yet, unfathomable outcome. Though, is the daily expunging of countless, individual human lives by self-inflicted carnage and suffering expressed in wildly imaginable constructs excuse-able by such unsubstantiated reason?
The stain of evilness embodies each living soul demanding conscious effort to entomb within, to refuse succumbing to its destructive potential. Though many of human populace willingly oblige and acquiesce to the few and powerful belligerent, abusing forces within its realm; and, those whom are brave to oppose such evilness are effectively and ceremoniously stifled in their effort.
The progressive evolution of human experience too is evidenced daily reinforcing the perception that humanity at its core holds to ideals exercised as humane and goodly acts.
It is this perplexing dichotomy in human nature compounded by the inability to clearly define purpose to presence on Earth that both propels and stifles the human experience and progressive evolution, unrestricted to its fullest potential.

Walnut Trees
Walnut Trees
Binary Souls
Entombed to the Wood
Born to this world
To Know
To experience the tides of time
A living memeory
For all to see
To All, to know
Walnut Trees
Ominous yet, strikingly graceful, towering tall,
With wind-swept leaf laden branches too strong to fall;
Their thick, deeply channeled bark speaks to a timeless stand,
Defying death by disease growing mighty and grand.
Age-old witness to the passage of human history,
Intolerant to cycles of drought and winter misery;
Here only to serve their natural purpose; to purify Earth’s air,
Their lushful green grandeur of beauty; a gift to humanity to share.
As with all that is natural, an end time will one day come
When the boldness of their presence, no longer hides the Sun;
A sad day truly, for all whom have failed to witness, to see,
This wonder of nature’s doing, these centuries old, Walnut trees.

Freedom’s Voice
Long and loud is professed the freedoms of Democracy;
Yet those whom challenge to demonstrate with verbosity,
Bare the real truth to this constitutional hypocrisy.
While those whom have gained electoral powers
Confront public anger from safety of legislative towers;
Brutal force disperses the anger with rubber-bullets and tear-gas showers
Institutional elite and corporations direct the political and judicial show;
To defy this pervasive condition or attempt chance to over-throw
Is recipe for wrongful imprisonment or, death as some have come to know.
Few brave souls have risen to confront the foundations of Establishment;
The likes of Assange, Manning, Snowdon now relegated to hidden confinement;
Smeared by complicit mainstream media’s negative embellishment.
The Western World has long been the breeding ground for a Police State;
General public apathy and ignorance allowing the condition to infiltrate;
Now metastasized beyond ability to reverse and mitigate.
Failure to acknowledge, to confront the direness to this state of reality
Is to relegate future generations to the conditions veracity;
Relegating freedom’s voice forever, to the state of banality.
