Soft, sweet, silence:

Sitting solitarily still
sinking, slowly, sadly in solemnity.

Quickly sour thee land and home
that's been stript and slashed and sewn

Redistribution of raw potential
Reappropriation of determination

Suddenly aware, light ensures
Yet darkness lingers evermore.
Unbalanced Harmony, everlasting
Necrotic neuroses, drowning water-bearer
Near nagging noise, feeling fulfilled.

Nearly nothing to conceive
Barely breathtaking belief.

Scattered.
Sunken.
Sign.

Flying
Away nauseous
Destined appendages existing
Especially cautious
Drowning

Getting progressively less aggressive yet
Regretting regressive Tendencies while
Obfuscating observations never rest at ease
Wherefore in the hell am I?
Introducing revolution of myself and higher
Notions of positivity, hope and resolution
Getting better at forgetting, and accountable Black Betty

Oh darling, keep me going on and going strong
Let me know and help us show the power in the now modality
Duality of reality, uncertain inevitability, love is the language spoken by the best one.
Every mess another lesson, every action an int(erv)ention
Required equilibrium, balancing of harmony.

Occupying other spaces, distant times of contemplation
Ragged lines dividing nations, abundant labels redundant reservations.

Becoming who we think we are exeunt what we believe
Every step towards a tepid order of a shorter quarter pounder to the ground
Taking one's self life as validity, intrepid sense of depth wrecked by anonymity
Tirelessly questioning, ticking box for poor & war decorum
Either tired or sick of fricking chrysalis, yet perpetual metamorphosis
Rampant maturation, semi millennial cycles of illumination. Falling floundering freedom of(f)light.

Studio Time

Daily Grind

Absent Kind

Left Behind

Thought is Blind

Yours and Mine

Too Divine

Out of Time

And Place

And Mind.

When you look, almost everyone you see, if you catch them off guard has this look of longing and contemplation on their faces. Those who are looking for some kind of connection in this illusory world. What they're really craving is a connection to forces beyond this world, something that would put them at a higher and supposedly better place. Those who don't seem to crave this feeling of unity, are too distracted by an abundance of ill-hearted meaningless connections, that they choose to ignore the actual oneness they are craving. Their senses are the only ones being stimulated and their minds and souls/hearts are willfully neglected. This is a reaction brought upon by the successful structuring and manipulation of humans away from their original inner potential and focusing on the meaningless mundane in order to insure subordination. We will always be longing for something more, something bigger, somewhere or something we all used to be and call home. Yearning for nostalgia, yet never quite filling the void. We have to break free.
Not exactly a poem, more spoken-word-esque. Bonus points if you speak Portuguese.

Jimbo is awesome.
This is a poem for him.
A haiku, rather.

Overwhelming, though it is, forget the boundaries of time and space
How to do this, you ask? Having always already existed in the future and the past

These constructions will create for you a reality which
Regrettably is far farther to the truth than you’d think it would be
Aspire to be good and fight off the negativity you suppress
Not always does the problem lie in what others do
Start with yourself, and hope that others change with you
Connecting to each other, being free from any stress
Every little thing that your senses consume
Not truth but fiction, falsehood that your brain creates, with the
Dastardly destructive help of those who manipulate the world we live in.
Even after all the purity we were meant to envision, we are left with
Nothing but a sick manipulated decision: To fight against the darkness of our human entity
Create one harmonious global community, loving and achieving life as finally  free or
Exploiting yourself and others, giving into a temporary picture that will soon fade away
