I never met a mystery
       but curious i did stare
And long to see its underneath
       of think, and fear. From outwhere
Spills the precious things an effect
       world may share, with those who will
To journey on past satisfied
       and care, a marrow to live.

"Neuro Speedway"



is there
no way out of the need
for sprinting go-carts
travelling at breakneck
nuero speedway around
in circling minds
the world revolves
stationary nailed down souls
don't understand grand central
kaleidoscope distraction
*** yearns
hunger burns
chocolate dilates
blood vessels sensation
seems important we stop
on a dime for one
one hundredth of a second
and almost cease of boredom
move and spin     spin and grin
oops

"Natured"


Vacuum natured beasties clamber
       the walls i *******
Space time continuum believe it
       or not here we are touch move
And spin in control not even close
       who do you think you are God
With a capital G nothing but
       a dyslexic doG drool slave
Twitch and justify again twitch
       and justify again twitch and
Justify some way out you want
       egress go seek lonely or
Sociable pic-a-choose universe
       one more apprehension of self.

"Natural Light"

Defensively wrapped up in self
         I stay warm
In a cold wasteland
         of loneliness.

Sharing with caring others
         I stay warm
In the natural light
         of fellowship.

"Mythology 101"


I'm jealous of the dream i think you have
Foolish me pining for an image cast
Upon you in me without your permission
Or corroboration. Bare subtle bones of
Mind fast dancing for flesh quicker than
Awareness can see or stop. Body form built
Of thoughts inner sense sations manifest.
So much habit. How much volition free
Will born? We don't know how to quantify
The souls measure or measure the makings
Of the soul. ****** equations yet to be
Discovered. Said and done are not one
And rifts of brain separate them. You
And others like you? mythology 101

"My Poem"

                    Give me what I want
                            Or I will get angry.
                    I want you to give me comfort
                            You do not
                    So I label you as mean.
                    I want me to give me courage
                            I do not
                    So I label myself, defective.
                    I want you to pay attention to
                            Your child
                            You call him bad
                    I think of you as lazy, unwilling
                            To put in the effort to care.
                            My anger is mine.
                    It arrives mature and vital
                    After I do not have my way.
                            But I am learning.
                            I am learning
                    To have disappointment
                            And not blame others.
                            I am learning
                    To see real events causing pain
                            And not condemn the world.
                            I am learning
                    To make mistakes, and not
                            Crumple into worthlessness.
                            And I am learning
                    To see my opinions as opinions
                            And not as laws of God.

"My Opinion"

You are vile and putrid thieves
stealing from the hearts of
millions the comfort of hope.

Denying the autonomous joy
of helpful nature and lovefull
mankind, you blind the eyes
of children, to fill yourself
with power.

Attaching salvation to human
sacrifice and cannibalism, you
preach of a god in your own
image; hateful, controlling, vain.

And the ONE that does exist
         loves you
         forgives you
         and freely blesses you
         with life.
