Honesty the lost art/   Honesty is rare it should cost a lot/   It would be sublime if We could find it/   Honestly, honesty is the best policy/ We should treasure the thought cherished engulfed/   combined with Loyalty   till death do us part/ I yurn The lies tiring   like ones sleepy lay down Suffocating to a corpse/   Thought is boss employ by it   We're all guilty I guess/ Liar liar in court   A sentient being-ness/ Troth be told   I can't believe in this/ Question,   Am I the only one seeing this?/ Or only me blind and ain't            Seeing ****   I try and **** it out its epidemic, Chronic/ The remedy Poetry Hop    Visual Sonnets/ **** naked in   My correspondence/ Articulating articles   Waiting for responses/ Is it a defense mechanism   Of the conscious/ Honesty? Honestly/   Seems like everyone's Not doing it so its gotta BE/   Non honesty The ever lasting Prophecy/   And were full filling it The good succumbs   To the villainous/ My willingness/   To compromise my will I guess/   You could interpret as weak/ Most realize the Inside scoop   Yet everyone tells lies non interested in truth/   Me, a victim and a suspect An on going cycle yet/   I ask what's next/ as if I didn't know    Where the L lies underlying Facts can't grow/   HonestLy, we all lose an L to Honesty!

Honesty, Honestly?
I've used them on my windows To see the clear outside, If I read the Op-eds, I shudder, shuttered and hide. I've spread them 'neath my plates and cups, My shelves all neat and tidy; But the headlines made it clear to me My glass is more half empty. They had a place in the litter box For **** to scratch and squat; I laid them round my garden plants, They made fine insect traps. Rolled and twirled they'd start a fire, I could fold them into hats. They cleaned the grease from BBQs, And they're safe to pick up glass. Crumple them for packaging, They work as school book covers; Add water and some flour, To shape papier mache lovers. Fold seeds in them to germinate, Then use them for compost; There's many ways to employ Your Times and local Post. But I won't subscribe to Dailies For the felling of our trees; And yet I miss my papers, And the ways they worked for me. But when enthroned, You'll hear me grouse, *There's no **** paper in this ********* My cell works well to scroll and swipe, But it's only good for a virtual wipe.

Your Times and Post
Deferred thought my mind speaks but unable to reach Since, lacking proper fuel words are no more than tools Idly on the shelf All alone by themselves Whether each has the skill Makes no difference still Needs a user to wield The brain must be unsealed Else it's nothing but noise And will only annoy To communicate one Has to pay attention And your message think through It is important to Listen right back Without barbs or attacks Open-mind speaking freely Add diplomacy Must employ use of tact Support statements with fact Do not rush; take your time Critical? Then be kind Not a must to agree Can't force someone to see Each of us has his thoughts Throughout life we are taught There are social patterns Easily to discern So, wherever you fall Do not build up a wall Keeping out you will win As you lock yourself in Rigid form without flex New ideas will perplex Ignorance and denial Grow into a pile On island alone Statue made of stone In your mind you’re entombed Happy life is now ruined Feeling always against With a paranoid sense A refusal to see An unwavering tree But a tree can still bow Give and take it will show Rigid thoughts become firm Close your mind; will not learn Placing all of the weight Just for you; here to take And must always support Forcibly will contort Having flex we adjust This in life is a must Something we can not do Like to uncook a stew Won't exist very long People just not that strong Or should they try to be A journey incomplete Happiness lies within On these words please don’t spin A sole island you're not Harmony should be sought Infinite universe You can’t always be first Finding balance in life Like to see without sight Each of us wants respect But to give is to get Listen up before talking Use foot and start walking Will find in due time Not to bother or mind People are free to think From each other we drink How we grow and evolve Complex problems we’ll solve Not a perfect system But we gather wisdom Always strive to improve It’s the best we can do To communicate we Open our minds to see And try to understand Flawed and kindred humans

There are some nights when sleep plays coy, aloof and disdainful. And all the wiles that I employ to win its service to my side are useless as wounded pride, and much more painful.

Loneliness Is Wishing To Cry Can we really control our loneliness when it attacks? Of course not. However, we can employ the means by which to channel it into a positive force. A force whereby we recruit others and together battle this power of the dark side attempting to cajole us into this state of melancholy. We have to collectively rise to the occassion, and with the force of Good, vanquish it forever more. Here is a short poem about what loneliness means to me. It was written at a time in my life when I was trying to deal with the recent death of a close family member. Needless to say, I was most devasted at the time of this writing. This poem at that time, in reflection, acted as a therapeutic means for me to "get it all out". Loneliness is despair Loneliness is something to beware Loneliness is the thought today of no tomorrow Loneliness is wishing to cry without knowing why Loneliness is a simple feeling without a simple answer Loneliness comes Loneliness goes Loneliness is that uninvited guest who visits, always without a request Loneliness is a sickness you my friend are the cure Together we will strengthen and together we will endure.....

Loneliness - Its True Meaning
His Down's Syndrome makes His age a tough guess, I'll Say eight to ten. Wide eyes on machines, Ice cream dripping on the Pavement outside the Construction site. *I wanna work like this when I grow up,* he says in Young enthusiasm to a mother Whose eyes well up with Gratitude when I approach And kneel down in front of Him. *So you want a job, Buddy?* I ask him with a Wink. He suddenly remembers His ice cream and bites into It shyly. Nods, glancing at the Tools in my belt, the scratches On my arms, the brick wall I've been attacking with a Wacker jackhammer. Nods Again. *Well, I'll see you in a Few years,* I say with another Wink, this time to his mother, Who'd look her young age if Her eyes weren't as tired, *But you can start with this And get some practice.* I hand Him my Stanley Fat Max Hammer. His ice cream Hits the ground as he Recieves it with both hands, Looking to his mother for Confirmation that it's ok. Oh, it is. She mouths a Thank you SO much... They walk away, his chatter High pitched and fading Around the corner. And I Head over to the foreman to Report that I lost my hammer. Don't ever employ me. I can work a good game, but I'm too soft around little heroes.

The singleness of mind as the pavement lobotomizes you. No forks in the track at any point. from point A to point B Employ your limbs or you might fall asleep as you are serenaded by strange music from universes just discovered. Some universal truth tough to explain. How every galaxy in every glint on this desert road is, with precise frequency, interrupted by that yellow stripe running in intervals down eternity lane

Death you are seen so repugnant. Death you are sensed so vile. Death you are deemed so untimely. “Death can’t you wait for a while?” But Death, aren’t you Life’s true redeemer? Making everyone think well of the dead. Death aren’t you Life’s other half? Death don’t you tuck us to bed? When our wanderlust has faded, your embrace remains unjaded. Death you are humble in your infamy; Life the glory claims. Yet sickness, accidents and war are all Life’s macabre games. That which kills you comes from Life. Life will push to make that sale; living organs mere currency. Cannibalistic Life - advertising as a fairy tale. Death you are left to clear the carnage. Death – the coloseum’s sand – innocently soaked in the blood of Life’s cruel hand. Death you are Life’s psychologist; motivating each step, each trial. Making us get up every morning to make each moment worthwhile. Death you employ Time’s creation to set a deadline to Life. Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring Death you are a scalpel; Life a butcher’s knife. Famine, plague, disease, beast, Without glorious survival, why feast? Death your work with Time is inspired, for we created it to understand your course. With Time we can learn Life’s seasons and record it’s length before it’s divorce from our fragile clay. Death you make us frugal with our Time, yet generous with our Love. For to each heartbeat’s rhythm and rhyme, we fervently dance to give. To make another grief-stricken Death. For if Life is filled with meaning, it is Death’s boon to us all. Life becomes exhilarating – A race before the fall! Death remains a wallflower to the very close. Death only wants to meet us; a gentle lover with a rose. Encouraging, yet terrifying. But if we fear the Darkness, it is Life we fear not Death. How often has a blinding Light been reported on a final breath?

THEY were calling certain styles of whiskers by the name of "lilacs." And another manner of beard assumed in their chatter a verbal guise Of "mutton chops," "galways," "feather dusters." Metaphors such as these sprang from their lips while other street cries Sprang from sparrows finding scattered oats among interstices of the curb. Ah-hah these metaphors-and Ah-hah these boys-among the police they were known As the ***** Dozen and their names took the front pages of newspapers And two of them croaked on the same day at a "necktie party" ... if we employ the metaphors of their lips.

There's a chill in the air and wind 'neath your boots There's clouds in the sky and trees with roots If all were to fall onto your crying head, Would you carry it home or lie down dead? The strength you have defines your choice Will you whimper and cry or show your voice? Through sorrow and pain and happiness and joy You either run and hide from all those you employ Or show them what you're made of inside For what you do becomes who you have to hide Not what you say with fury or a gentle tone But the actions you take when you're all alone When you're down and out, almost recluse And you feel as if you have no use If you still get up and challenge yourself You will become prisoner to no one else There's a song in the air and dirt 'neath your boots A song that carries on down to your roots Back from the days of no chores or worry When nothing was done in any sort of hurry You can hear these words in the back of your mind And it takes you back to a simpler time These little moments, spontaneous and surreal Show you how you can always feel Feel good and joyous even through the worst When tired and hungry, they give you thirst These little moments are found throughout life They can break you free from worldly strife And these things define who you were before And change who you are to forever something more Harkening back to when you were innocent and clean Can make you try your best to better your scene Your moments in life are yours to keep When daydreaming or your lost in sleep The worst will come and so will the best The dark before the dawn always sets to the west You can succumb to the pain that comes with years Or you can fight back the stress and fight back the tears Through everything that comes your way Only you can change how you live out your stay Others will come and others will leave But what holds together is what you believe Strength is within and without you Within is taken while without is beside you Hold onto a grain of meaningless sand And notice how it's light in your hand Just for that moment it's harmless and vain But if you hold on forever it builds into pain

Draped, in a long sleeve shirt, to cover the evidence
 And painting an expression of contentful bliss
 But it is simply an illusion for the sake of others
 Denial the easiest act to employ


 Crimson tears stream down and pool on the floor
 A slight shudder from the sting of the razor’s kiss
 Momentary reprieve from the turbulance in her mind
 This pain her only time of joy


 But the outside world only sees the smile on her face
 A subtle attempt to make it seem like nothing’s amiss
 Her false expression of happiness forever a burden to her
 Because no one wants a broken toy…

The beloved country Africana can boast of is Ghana. The manana of Africana black star is Ghana A nation rich in culture and natural pasture. Its nature reflects the creatures’ caricature We are black reflecting our true beauty. And we are packed with captivating ability. The typicality of our nationality brings unity. Who knows whether our safety lies in our variety? This unity amidst our diversity is our reportage. About twenty-four million are surviving in our age. Over sixty ethnic groups and fifty-two major languages. There are hundreds of dialects which are to our advantages. In W/A, Ghana records the highest percentage of Christianity… Yet the modernity of our sanity portrays minds of malignity. But the fraternity of our humanity builds our community. The variety of our morality and privity builds our society Who said Ghana cannot be capaciously superfluous? We have the very illustrious and exuberant resources. The elites and the voracity are harnessing the recourses. The destitute remains poor and the gentry linger the forces Our democratic government is an African paradigm. Our peaceful political regime is of no pantomime. Who of course would help us measure corruption? The whole nation would have tensed up to eruption. If not the gargantuan wayomelogy of the wayometer. Who knows whether the next tool would be attameter? Who wouldn’t love to be a proud Ghanaian to enjoy our hilarious fila and jargons tongue can employ

I asked the Lord that I might grow In faith, and love, and every grace; Might more of His salvation know, And seek, more earnestly, His face. ‘Twas He who taught me thus to pray, And He, I trust, has answered prayer! But it has been in such a way, As almost drove me to despair. I hoped that in some favored hour, At once He’d answer my request; And by His love’s constraining pow’r, Subdue my sins, and give me rest. Instead of this, He made me feel The hidden evils of my heart; And let the angry pow’rs of hell Assault my soul in every part. Yea more, with His own hand He seemed Intent to aggravate my woe; Crossed all the fair designs I schemed, Blasted my gourds, and laid me low. Lord, why is this, I trembling cried, Wilt thou pursue thy worm to death? “‘Tis in this way, the Lord replied, I answer prayer for grace and faith. These inward trials I employ, From self, and pride, to set thee free; And break thy schemes of earthly joy, That thou may’st find thy all in Me.”          ~ John Newton (1725-1807)

Spider web curtains and Illusions
Wrote this eons ago, tonight, once more, spend some human capital, editing...

A root of confusion in math is not knowing whether a term is a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb. An equation is nothing but a string of nouns. But I may think about these nouns, by their adjective or adverb alternatives, for example, which convolute the matter. Verbs in math are really the outliers. Thus, I've been thinking wrong with "math is a verb" mentality. The most common math terms are nouns, which function alone as subjects and objects. What I think of as "doing math" is akin to "doing porch". It entails a deck, railing, stairs, a chair, a roof. So too, does math include these things. I walk on the stairs and deck. I sit on the chair. I enjoy the roof's shade. So too, the things of math are used via terms which are not included usually in math terminology. Almost the only verb used in math is "think" which is convoluted by the subjects/objects which I employ during thinking.

Attention Attention!
365Nectar #60 Devour Me Fri. November 22, 2013 9:18 P.M. Devour me... A provocative passionate pouring of pillaging and plundering... A pleasing prowling of a piercing plunderer... A lovely, limp nymph laid upon a sizzling alter... Smoldering... Awakening all the senses a choking of lust unleashes exhilarating and envelops you... Effortlessly evoking ethereal... a sinister seduction seductively seduces and hungry hips breakdance with hysterical Stimulating a surreal surge of a sweet seeping... waiting... impatiently... For you to chisel an unimaginable devouring... S slow steady climb to the summit of the ultimate ****** Time- Time- Time... a tool to employ flamboyantly... immediately... eargerly... Expose my conquered heart that leaks of streams of cream of succulent sensation... Expose my tamed moistness that whispery whines as you build a legacy of torturous licking.... Seductively... Slithering in spicy spirals of stirring screams from stormy shivers of steamy anticipation of your redefining touch... Suddenly... drowning in the sticky sensation of all that is us... A tender luscious love liquefying flesh and penetrating souls... We blend in blazing bliss tapping taboo for titillating thrills you rock a rowdy ravishing inside me... I whisper wet whimpers and beg for bitten breast... Our wrestling hips hug, ***** and groan a hungry growling... Pounded into saturated submission I linger in lubricating dreams for you- to... devour me.

Devour Me
I wonder if there will ever be a day when people will stop treating each other like possessions. You'd think that in kindergarten we had been taught how to share. “Everyone gets a turn,” our teacher would say. "Five seconds at the water fountain after recess. Pass along the book to the person next to you. Share your box of crayons with those at the table." We were taught how to share the tangible The objects at our feet. But what my teacher never taught me was how to share the intangible- Concepts such as time, trust, and love. Ultimately at the end of the day she never taught me how to share people. The problem with people is that you want to keep them- Keep them close Keep them tight Keep them safe. You don't want to take turns because you fear that they will find someone who is better than you. That one day they will leave because you were not enough. So to suppress our paranoia we resort to rules and regulations. We employ the facade that what we are doing is out of love When in reality we are living in fear. People are not possessions. We are human beings Capable of emotion and free will. We are granted the ability to choose For that freedom is what distinguishes ourselves from the rest. We are not objects upon a shelf To be taken down when felt like or guarded like a metal safe. We are not punching bags To be used at one’s disposable. We are not mountains To be climbed and conquered. We are human beings Yet humanity continually treats each other as if nothing.
