To be true in the moment

And only for that moment

And then building on that moment

For the next moment

Before long, moment after moment

A library of such moments

Will become momentous
.....if only

on the precipice.......

03/25/2021



All hell is loose on planet Earth

Efforts of reconciliation have been scorned

Sense and sensibility has lost all worth

Once more, my armor, I am forced to adorn



Satans hold is growing stronger

His followers see right in might

Unwilling to compromise any longer

Itching for a conclusive fight



It’s incomprehensible to fathom, when

Survivors of the last war, still around

Penned and swore peace for living memory

Are finding voices of reason systematically drowned



So, as I am once again required to descend,

To stave off another horrific earthly calamity

In light of humans unforgiving destructive power

To subdue the disgruntled forces of impending doom



As a last resort, in the absence of all else, I must gather my

Crown, molded by eternal knowledge, of Self Realization,

The ultimate deflection shield of all prevailing Truth

Weaponize, to perform my righteous Dutiful Actions

Truths’ dilemma
03/24/2021

Truth, has no cousins not
in duel call for no seconds
that which cannot be fractionalized
nor deliberately sweetened or fashioned
its’ weapon singularly purposed

Lies, with cousins abundant
always fronting seconds when caught
divi itself up in justification
hiding in purposeful deliberations
shape shifting to meet its cause

Truth n Courage
03/23/2021

I’ve discovered the road to trek and trade
It’s amazingly simple, yet arduously difficult
Where Truth should prevail but seldom does
If courage was not always, so perpetually afraid

I find myself

Between the armies of warring thoughts

In the depth of fissure, a final choice

Each Infiltrated by confusion

Conniving, creating devious plots



Each vortex reasons its’ justified

The good, the evil, whose perception

Permeating from a single source

Too many thoughts to cauterize

Turbulence
03/06/2021

Inconsequential, in this sea of humanity
The purpose of existence alludes me
For whom, this charade being played
Lifetime of pursuing, aimlessly wandering

Perform, content, equanimous in demeanor
Profound understanding, meditation afforded
The torrent of knowledge, itself tormenting
Direction still oblivious, a storm is brewing

Brain scrambling, gathered debris of knowledge
Searching semblance to floating chaos of existence
Robes of responsibility, anchors of burdens on mind
Logical conclusions, conclusively self defeating

The journey traversed, inheritance of birth
The battles been raging with forces unknown
Humbled, escape from action improbable
Consequently, I breathe, till time’s end

A republic, if you can keep it
02/14/2021


A republic, if you can keep it
No truer responsive wit
Giving power of democracy
To individuals, a constitutional gift

Words, laboriously crafted
Differences unfathomable
Multitudes of thoughts drafted
Before goals became achievable

Common aims took precedence
Appeasement, norm of the day
Marrying unholy alliances
Compromise, the ultimate way

Appeasement, compromise,
Essences to achieving final goals
Not born out of convenience  
Necessitating moderate control

In the Now political environment
Extremism infused, herd mentality
Bowing to the presence of Lies
Trampling Truth, devoid of causality
Has extremism hijacked the future?
