remembrance 2012


 

Remembrance?

We hail courageous heroes of war; but for whom is the true enemy at bastion door; for each nation’s fallen soldier is a heart made sore; and to whom do the real gains amass, while the bereaved tally the deathly score?

___________________________________

To be of common purpose in mind; is not to be to true reasons blind; for the failings within humankind; for the atrocities inflicted upon its own kind; appeased by pageant and ceremony to remind; but in truth’s end, to repetition, it is endlessly inclined.

___________________________________

Spilling mental guts upon the literary floor; thousands pass but simply ignore, for their lack of interest to what may touch their shore; yet find the time to whisper ridicule and messenger to deplore; yielding incessant ignorance to reason, to endure.

Poppy


Poppy worn upon shoulder lapel
Living remind to those courageously fell
Each, their unique life’s story to tell
Now left in Poppy, to forever dwell

Poppy pedal, blood, crimson red
Remembrance of courageous dead
Memories and tears take their stead
Poppy brave-courage and honor: Saluted

REMEMBRANCE DAY

Free(dom) the Collective


Freedom; sought from the tyranny to which life is repeatedly born,
limiting its growth by containment of the individualist mind,
white-washed into submission by contrived uniformity,
instilled by the fear of banishment from the societal-clan,
shackled and anchored to chaste of monetary position,
imposed by ghostly image of authority’s contrived rules,
impeded through admonishment of counter-thought,
gratifying willful absorption to conformity of the Collective.

Freedom; for the individual mind to which life is meant to be born,
to seek its inherent, genetic design of purpose,
as cellular contributor to the living organism that is humanity,
gratified in the acknowledgment of recognition to participate,
with unrestricted access to commonwealth of prosperity,
to preside and flourish in the structure and respect of natural laws,
unlimited without constraint as Individual contributor to Community.

born to a dark mind


A post-Halloween toast:

Tale To Freight

Composing dark and unsavory tales to freight
The lurid, cursed words to raise a strange delight
Telling of what is oft hidden from the sight of light
The unsavory mention of what goes `bump in the night’

A tale that speaks of twisted minds that plan and scheme
One that consumes the darkest of nightmarish dreams
Rendering a victim’s  most heart-wrenching  scream
A callous evilness for emotional gain,  than to be seen

This manner of expression intent on gaining vicarious reward
To be given to those that would likely faint at fear’s door
To garner adrenalin’s rush, demanding one to read more
Of the bloodied and dead, void of suffering the pain and sore.

________________________________________________

Honed Steel Blade

Lothe of darkness, left to dwell
What tale this bloodied knife could tell
Born from a tainted mind, lured by cursed spell
Expressed by its master, servant of Hell
For the deathly evilness deed, its presence did befell

A torrid carnage wake of death and defiance
Shear morbidity and twisted execution of contrivance
Meant to defy laws of human compliance
And to confound the realm of forensic science
This crafted tool, life-ending appliance

Razor-sharp, honed steel blade, used for evil’s gain
Marks its course of deed, with blood-flowing stain
The death-still carcass, a persistent memory to remain
Negates its true purpose of service, forever to defame
Tainted, civil-minds brandish bias toward its disdain

_________________________________________

Silent Fart

the taint odorous plume grew as it rose
its toxic vibrancy scared as it flowed
no whimper of mention gave it a show
the tacit reaction given; a tweak of the nose
lending credence only its originator knows
the response;  retreat, all affected, chose

UPDATE TO ELECTION DAY 2012


UPDATE TO ORIGINAL POSTING: With the coming November 8th election, every voting American  should watch this series of news reports produced by THE REAL NEWS NETWORK; an independent Internet News Network that tells it like it is and can boast ZERO conflict of corporate interests gaining its financial support solely from its viewers/registered members:

REAL NEWS REPORT: Easy Way To Steal an Election

In recognition of elections in the United States and elsewhere on this troubled Globe, I offer up the following:

Platform in hand claiming new convention
Political pundits’ cry for attention

The electorate looks the other way
Saying `why bother’ in the end, we still pay

Each Party claims: `light at the end of the tunnel
Yet the money gets siphoned as quick as water down a funnel

With words like: Promise, Trust and, Honesty, increasingly typical
The populace has reason to grow more tired and  cynical

This vile condition breeds chronic mistrust and skepticism
And a country void of a future and dwindling optimism.

Change To Timeless Promises

Change, to timeless promises, sinks
Into the depths of mental madness;
Driven there by the energies
Expended upon reflection;
Bringing tangled weaves of
Truth to hypocrisies seen;
Weaned on the milked teat
Of societal dream’s rhetoric;
To escape to this tragedy’s
Path dis-remembered;
Each, revisited, forth year’s
First Monday’s November.

New Epoch’s Beginning?


Author’s Note: All the News about a `frankinstorm’ about to hit the region where I live has infused a sense of foreboding to stimulate the following poem. Strange how the few words of the first line to the poem could generate such an eerie picture but, I guess, that’s what writing is all about! Enjoy and Happy Halloween!

 

A deathly stillness did befall the night
Even nocturnal creatures lay out of sight
What evil doing doth bring on such fright
Will all be alive to see the new morning light?

As the darkened hours ascended toward dawn
Silence did greet, void of sounds of a morning’s song
Til a rumbling stirred, falling color leaves to the lawn
A stirring to awaken all to wonder: what is going on?

The ground shook, with a fury and a roar
A foreboding darkened sky hinted to what was in store
The wind howled, shaking even the most secure door
Was this the coming of the elder’s whispered lore?

Shaken to the root, all this sudden commotion,  did cause
Giving even the sanest of people, reason to pause
Knowing that this happening did defy all physical laws
Or is it more a telling, of humanity denying its flaws?

Endless seemed the uprooting of all that was earthly built
Thousands to their knees pleading forgiveness of all guilt
With no one to heed, all came to be beneath the settling silt
A new epoch’s beginning, brought on by the Earth’s sudden tilt.

Defiance


the price is  loneliness to be of individual mind
to lack being want of any of the same kind
left alone to suffer ridicule for suggestion to find
greater worth in Self, then to follow the blind

body  defeating the universal clay-mould
defying to suffer the history of that being told
living truth to sought wisdom before being old
knowing strength from conflict with that being sold

eon’s history derives the same, repeated end
where individuals die for unknown others, asking to defend
the honor of the group collective that it survive to contend
perpetuating the myth: spilled blood, to humanity’s survival, it does lend.

HELP! Cry of the Devil Soul



Trapped, entombed in this callous, decaying, cellular mass of bone, sinew and flesh;
This parasite of youthful exuberance; living devil soul being denied the rejoice of PARTY!
For shamelessly, shameful visceral infliction upon past epoch’s realm existence
Cast down to suffer this prolong, painful, yet inevitable, dimension’s journey end

Imbibing intoxicant’s nature spell weaves a sanctuary of mind’s invention
Turning fabric of space to living, joyful reality
Blissfully expounded and exposed for both the magic and the magical!
Enveloped in the warmth of strange bodys’ heat and pheromone infused wet

The infinite, rhythm trance of digital vibrations spun, spin their spell
Elevating synoptic punctuation to frequency’s intent
Conjuring addictive initiates expulsion to pineal-mind delights
Manifesting echelon journey beyond 3-dimensional weight

Succumbing to ethereal, cosmic electric vibrational embrace
Submitting to resistance that clogs the conduit, column spine
To expose the true pinnacle end of the electric-climax thrill
The JOY! awaits ALL who too are so hopelessly entombed!

Consensus To Reason



Genesis to this living, 21st century, global financial problem
Is the matter intellectual minds strive but struggle to be resolve’n
Their Keynesian rationale to economic contributing factors
Derives diverse camps but many more detractors
All the while the middle class and lower take the brunt of the pain
Imposed by government austerity, wages reduced to levels insane
The wealth befalling the minority, corporate elite unwaveringly, continues to rise
Fueled by G20 political rhetoric that only serves to define and further the lies
The ultimate climax to this global human failing condition has yet to arrive
With the ensuing death and destruction of countless, innocent human lives.

failure is I?


has ‘failure’ become this path to claim,
to render it synonymous with my name,
the quality to wit seems my fame,
that furrows the brow in dire shame,
acknowledged by another’s disdain,
witnessed by their willing refrain,
from comradre’ that doth sustain,
and if so, where truly, lies the blame?
