true believers
jeffrey robin Aug 2011
cowering.............moving in mucky filthy lives they call their own
(but they are not their own!)
see the running away!
running from all living beings!
running towards the dogma!
running toward the proffered vanity!
...........
silly little vipers, these
true believers!
----------------
scorn!
scorn to you is praise
for you claim to be the
persecuted heroes and martyrs ,
the saviors who so shamelessly
repeat any and all inanities
that take you from the very light you claim
has anointed you as true believers!
...........
SICKENING!
........
YOU SICKEN ALL WHO COME UPON YOU
YOU ARE TOTAL  DISEASE!
..........
the lovers are everywhere
as hopefully you may come to see
and join
for the very fight for life
is upon us now
and"useless"
written on your gravestone
may be  hard to take

One more soul ---  under mind control

One more  body glorified

The foxy hot babe hoppin on the stage

Though this of course!

Practicing just practicing

Along this the real path where real signs shall

Call forth the sacred lamp to shine once more

And reveal the DOOR

NOT TO WATCH YOU DANCE LIKE ****** AROUND THAT GOLDEN CALF THAT YOU ADORE!

WE ARE THE LOVERS UNQUENCHABLE

Ride the ark across waters red with blood

Across love tinged with wanton lust or
Purposes of enslaving

It is your ark your covenant your cross your creatures

It is you who is the sole god amongst all who are living

In memory or in breathing

••

It shall rain for 40 days and nights or not at all and you shall rise again and be reborn to climb a mountain that might or might not be there to sing with angels or fellow god-like human beings

Some who may even be writing poems here for you to read in hopes that you might become free

Whatever symbol that might please

And awaken your curiousity

We are against war with other

To hate our ex boy or girl friends

We can choose to see the best in each-other
Or see the worst

We choose to see the worst
Because we feel safe

Hiding behind a wall of anger

Only false sentimentality

Masking our possessive
Addictions

Addicted to sadness!

yearning free

himalayan visions
of saints who forever
guard the pilgrim way


i do what i do

the subway screams
poets HOWL
saints take to the hobo roads

i do what i do

where are we going?
where are we anyhow?

who shall we ask?
why are we asking?

i do what i do

NEVER DO A THING YOU DONT WANT TO
NEVER

the seas rise and come down
the angry man is a man decieved
the earth is dying
we are decieving ourselves

i do what i do

in a moment
VAST PAIN
right now
FEAR AND DECEPTION

NEVER DO A THING YOU DONT WANT TO
NEVER

i do what i do

do what you do

and be done
done

Deborah's poem

DEAR POETS

:::::

Now

When I first read the poem

I AM HERE FOR THE POETRY
AND NOT THE HATE

I thought it was a very clear LOOK at the world

..... That we are all HERE on this earth expecting the
POETRY
of Justice
of Compassion
of Human Honesty

//

while reading the comments
It appeared that HERE is in reference
To HP

which to me kind of trivialized the poem

But

Everyone will read a poem as they see fit

//

As I read on .... ( and this includes Deborah 's responses to the comments )

I started to have different emotions

::

As it seemed ? ( only seemed )

That a circle of lovers was rallying around
ONE OF ITS OWN

and my mind drifted into thinking

WHAT IF YOU ARE NOT IN THIS CIRCLE OF LOVERS
WHAT IF YOU ARE , say ., an OUTSIDER
A RENEGADE ?

( now

I am not saying we should take these labels too seriously

But )

.... (?)

But it is so very easy for Love to mean Mutual Praise

... So very easy for the Outsider to feel

NOT .... Unloved
BUT .... Treated Indifferently

///

IF the poem said

I AM HERE FOR THE POETRY
NOT THE INDIFFERENCE

it would be very awkward

But is something to consider as we grapple with

The meaning and potential of POETRY

;;;

If it said
( and it doesn't )

I AM HERE FOR THE PRAISE OF MY POETRY
NOT THE CRITICISM

?????

:::

Of course

The weakness inherent in the

:::: Poem simply as poem ::::

Is the lack of definition to the word   ....  Hate

( saying

WE ALL KNOW WHAT SHE MEANS

is not the same as saying

SHE STATED CLEARLY WHAT SHE MEANS

///

Of course

The poem isn't really a poem

But is a goodbye to friends message

///

But what if you are not one of Deborah 's friends ?

Does that mean you are a HATER ?

//

I write this not out of any desire

To criticize anyone

Or this poem

••

I am merely asking

That we ( as poets ! )

Ask more from ourselves in the way of clarity

In the portrayal of our ultimate purposes and goals

And that we examine more carefully the effects of what our words do to others

And not only on the effects others' words have upon us

;;;

The Wall of Protection

We build around ourselves

That allow us to express ENORMOUS amounts of

HATRED

for

Ex lovers !

For

Criticizers

Etc

///

HATE IS HATE

& when I read of hate

( and the self hate of the self mutilators )


I FEEL HATED !

//

I simply suggest that in the GREAT STRUGGLE

that poetry finds itself within

We seek to express the universal truths

And not just our personal feelings

Of the wrongs and rights of our experiences

And I full heartedly thank Deborah

for this

Thought provoking poem

And look forward to see the effects of it

As it manifests itself

In our poetry

And in our lives

and in the world

.

She saw the punk ******* the subway

With the torn tee shirt

Which had printed on it

Across her bra-less *****

The message

EAT **** AND DIE

//

So

When she got home

She took a ****

Ate it

And died

///

She smiled so angelically

And thought so thankfully

Of that punk girl

And her advice

WOW

IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO **** MYSELF

AND THERE SHE IS

TELLING ME OF AN INEXPENSIVE

AND EASY WAY TO DO IT !

WHAT A BLESSING !

WHAT A WONDERFUL PUNK GIRL !

we all are

the world is broken  and we

arm ourselves to ****

all the tender stories

all the terrorist tales

woven

into vampire imagery

or tea bag maladies

of dementia and senility

------

pornographic *******

to be bought and sold

for love or money

------

the children crawl thru the gutter

become madness

they ***** in alleys

------

we ***** ourselves constantly

for security

the simple absoluteness
of beauty

is always here

and beckons and calls for us

We don't even have the guts to be "outlaws!"



We "complain" is all



We scorn our parents and society

By letting our souls be destroyed


We are idiots
Cowards

What have you



Gutless

We ,,

We

?

We are now officially semi human

Soon well be swinging in the trees

Eating bananas

On four legs

THE HOT ROAD UNDER THE ONE SUN

(and has the oil in the gulf
really stopped it's flow?)

and simply, we don't care
cause simply, we don't know

LOVE'S LIKE THAT, AINT IT!!..?

still clinging to false hope
that mr goodbar or missy-poo

will say "i love you" and ***** you good

and
GO AWAY OR STAY

(leaving the decision "up to you"
your  puppy dog in human guise
you use and abuse

because you can and want to)

ah the subtle power of our poetry
to hid our crimes and our carelessness
the power of convoluted imagry
to make of our lovelessness
a tale of love

our lovelessness.........

,,, broken promise
jeffrey robin Jul 2015


////  • ||
<>

##  ##

promises of FOREVER

do not sanctify a love

But only give disappointment

An unlimited opportunity to fester

//

TIME

is not linear

But is created out of the movement

Of energies toward the completion

Of a common purpose

||

To STAY TOGETHER

for the sake of a

PROMISE of FOREVER

is to become rigid

And mutually self - destructive

In that the 2 lovers become isolated

from others

And this itself is misery

///

/////     /////

we walk the rainy streets

And the broken years

//

Thru the veil

Of this crying nation

Thru the hell

Of this dying world

:;;

we are

JOY

INCARNATE !

we are the People

( the healers and Saviors )



We are

JUSTICE

we are

SALVATION

we are

STRENGTH

/:/

We are the lovers whose love is real

And thus survives

;(:

We are the seed of truth



Simply put

We are

YOU & I

standing FOREVER

as HUMANITY
