"favoring" poems
No option, but to be perceived Violent, Aggressive, Irrational Identity becoming an other Words of malice, they mystify Words of ignorance, they vilify Subverting consciousness and articulation Our identities, fighting to be Autonomous landscapes Hoping in anticipation for liberation No real notion of we or me Implicating it's inhuman to be foreign When they represent as much of we and me Scandalizing alternative identities as subversive Advancing erasures in favor of hegemony Propaganda favoring what is most white Amelioration for the obliteration of cunning identity? No more cooperation, ****** the euphemisms That cover up, and help justify marginalization Our identities, fighting to be Autonomous landscapes Hoping in anticipation for liberation Time to **** ****** massacre eurocentric ideology We preach no violence, being not them, just we But cannot request to be free, must tear it out by force Eurocentric ideological pandemic inhabiting, inhibiting the soul of mankind Unthinkable abomination concealed in the veil of appropriated minds Necessitating exorcism for the incarcerated conscious mind When we completely violate mandates of eurocentric ideology When only we appropriate our own identity When we all nullify the color of our skin As profanity or inadequacy Our identities, fighting to be Autonomous landscapes Hoping in anticipation for liberation Will be awaiting purgation from alienation

Ideological Pandemic (Abducting Identity)
~commissioned accidentally by a melody, a passing glance, a purring perchance, an idle innocent comment, to be born as the first poem of this day, @7:00am Tue Sep 18 2025, writ in haste, before departing over many islands to another place called "home"~ ---~<>~--- *sometimes, not so secret, anon, ^ sometimes, so much more, than that but a glancing of favoring, a handshake secreted, is actually felt, actually secreted, and rare though via~able, it passes through a longing traveled voyage, over wire, under sea's cabling, through space, hoisted from & by satellite over continental divides just a hop, skip and jumpstart over this tiny planet, and though, but, an amorphous 👍 thumb, a colored 💙 or collared,   or a pointing 🫵 body part the like, bears more than just a passing resemblance to another* f o u r   l e t t er   w o r d its often lost & found dear cuz ^^ full of meanings hidden, or even anon, "I'll be there shortly"^                                                          magic!                                                                                                                                                                           nml

Following up on an anonymous 'like' (1)
A dancing Bear grotesque and funny Earned for his master heaps of money, Gruff yet good-natured, fond of honey, And cheerful if the day was sunny. Past hedge and ditch, past pond and wood He tramped, and on some common stood; There, cottage children circling gaily, He in their midmost footed daily. Pandean pipes and drum and muzzle Were quite enough his brain to puzzle: But like a philosophic bear He let alone extraneous care And danced contented anywhere. Still, year on year, and wear and tear, Age even the gruffest, bluffest bear. A day came when he scarce could prance, And when his master looked askance On dancing Bear who would not dance. To looks succeeded blows; hard blows Battered his ears and poor old nose. From bluff and gruff he waxed curmudgeon; He danced indeed, but danced in dudgeon, Capered in fury fast and faster. Ah, could he once but hug his master And perish in one joint disaster! But deafness, blindness, weakness growing, Not fury's self could keep him going. One dark day when the snow was snowing His cup was brimmed to overflowing: He tottered, toppled on one side, Growled once, and shook his head, and died. The master kicked and struck in vain, The weary drudge had distanced pain And never now would wince again. The master growled; he might have howled Or coaxed,--that slave's last growl was growled. So gnawed by rancor and chagrin One thing remained: he sold the skin. What next the man did is not worth Your notice or my setting forth, But hearken what befell at last. His idle working days gone past, And not one friend and not one penny Stored up (if ever he had any Friends; but his coppers had been many), All doors stood shut against him but The workhouse door, which cannot shut. There he droned on,--a grim old sinner, Toothless, and grumbling for his dinner, Unpitied quite, uncared for much (The rate-payers not favoring such), Hungry and gaunt, with time to spare; Perhaps the hungry, gaunt old Bear Danced back, a haunting memory. Indeed, I hope so, for you see If once the hard old heart relented, The hard old man may have repented.

You hide in plain sight as does day when engulfed by night For darkness is simply…. The absence of light You claim to have special enlightenment And that your knowledge is for the better good of the people Pledge your allegiance and your success will be imminent Break your pledge and your death will be discrete So why would you become part of something so “elite”? With only one thing in mind; to see the human race in defeat. An interminable amount of subliminal messages Hinting at events that are destructive, demoralizing, and deceptive. 9/11… was it really an act of terrorism? Or was it just an evil plot… something you guys expected? Al-quaeda and the Taliban… roaming around in the lands of Iran But on the land I walk some say it’s a misperception Just a façade in our brain so the government secrets are protected. Michael Jackson… and the Kennedy assassination Were they both untimely events in American history? Ghandi, The King, Malcolm X, Princess Diana, Shakur, Paul, Marley, the Kennedys’, Lennon, Fredinand, Lincoln!! All of whom were either at your feet or tried to make your secret secrete These deaths… from assassination to suicide… were all… “unfortunate” to the human eye? Or were they “fortunate” for the Eye of the Beholder? But why go to such great extent to have these powerful and influential people wiped from the human race? To keep a secret that has been soooo well kept for hundreds of years? A secret society that is not so discrete… anymore Hidden in plain sight and away from the human eye….. Trying to keep a disguise that will lead to our eventual demise You aren’t doing the world any favors By keeping an explicitly intricate order in store You’re favoring your own world under one order By intricately deceiving the minds of innocent citizens So, you hide in plain sight, the light of the earth A light you hope one day becomes permanently dark Cause once again, darkness is only the absence of light. With no light, we will be forced at the feet of your might Despite a fight, with no light and your might, we’re all just mites stuck on your flight of new world order. Well let me just end on this… **** THE ILLUMINATI!

With favoring winds, o’er sunlit seas, We sailed for the Hesperides, The land where golden apples grow; But that, ah! that was long ago. How far, since then, the ocean streams Have swept us from that land of dreams, That land of fiction and of truth, The lost Atlantis of our youth! Whither, ah, whither? Are not these The tempest-haunted Orcades, Where sea-gulls scream, and breakers roar, And wreck and sea-weed line the shore? Ultima Thule! Utmost Isle! Here in thy harbors for a while We lower our sails; a while we rest From the unending, endless quest.

Ultima Thule
Just a little, just a small, just a bit Exuding burst of energy Embodiment of brilliance Manifested in human flesh Wondering while we walk Trembling trying to talk Mankind mostly marred momentum Humanity how humiliating, hiding Forefathers frowning, from our fabricated forget Refusing redemption, requiring rancor and retribution Always armed, allured, awaiting angry accusations Derailed doves, these daggers drag down Losing level landings, lacerating learning's lifting Just a little, just a small, just a bit Exuding burst of energy Embodiment of brilliance Manifested in human flesh I implore indignation, it's incarceration of our intrinsic immensity At the core of our conception, captivating creation captured Anyone, everyone, afraid of the amazement accrued under our armor Profoundness, endless as the universe, favoring our existence Just a little, just a small, just a bit Exuding burst of energy Embodiment of brilliance Manifested in human flesh

Embodiment of Brilliance
I can feel her love the way I feel the desert winds of a tangerine evening hurling off the mountains as they reach for the end of the summer solstice. She sings beneath the bridge of god. Oh, how spirits that make the nature of whispers known to my fleshly ears dance to her innocent voice. I can see her crown among the thorned rose vista, ****** by her favoring tobacco musk, and it cascades about the once savage lands of the wanning moon. Her crown is redolent with the astral fragerence of eden. I have walked past the dawn and gazed upon the serpent of the sea, it has been raised only to bow before her loving words. Oh, what peace she brings, and how effortlessly I see the maiden, for I must hear her sing beneath the bridge of god.

For ***** to bounce is very rude, Unless they dropped.  Ascendancy Is boldness we don’t like to see.     And roundness really is quite lewd.   For spheres, directions are the same, And favoring the vertical Is impudent in a mere ball.   A proper toy should be more tame.

My response to you has always been focused. This has gladly not been over looked by you. I have become thoughtlessly biddable and amenable for you, especially in the morning light. I am consenting, compelled yet not obliged .......... You have discovered I am nothing but a girl from a circus. I never tried to hide it. You weren't looking before. Although I am a fan of amusements, fetes and even frolics, I do refrain from favoring all tricks. My indulgence in foolery is a sport I plan to employ for a while yet. Do I care for you to join me and see if I can defy your desire for extracurricular activities, as well as being your carer? Is this a task a clown would pretend was a harmless challenge. Perhaps not, perhaps so. My roots are raw and loyal to the art of play. I need you to know this and hold it. A Spanish fly will not be able to satisfy my ears alone? Sincerity can be a sharp business sometimes. Obedience to attachment brings around a credulous familiarity thus a dependency It could easily keep me awake to stare at many moons It hasn't. You have seen me stumble and look at you gingerly more than once now You are not even delicate but you can be shrewd even when you struggle with expectation. There is a soberness about your beauty I find pleasingly magnetic. When you leave me alone without your mighty graze I without question appreciate and yearn for your persuasions and rough tenderness. Your actions maybe more savory in the afternoons compared with your visits to my buoyant dreams but you do kindly hold open doors.

Sea captain who brings with him an air of comfort, first mate, confetti egg shell, metal-framed reservoir. Cradle my head, pull my hand, Stand. Solve the equation for me. Don't. Be my carriage horse. Roam free. Burn the papers. Lock them away. Join the feast. Serve us, **** the beast. Begot, begetter A stain-glass window, more like a painting wet with thinner. Broken calculator, hard-to-getter. Man the weather--man the ship. Don't, I can do it myself. Hideous, antique bird-feeder favoring the magpies above all and doves the least. Join the feast. Let us leave the little beast alone, they've done nothing truly bad! because Just a little cut doesn't hurt. As long as the blood doesn't spurt. As long as Sylvia is my dead friend. As long as you're an indescribable friend, always there among the bramble of the old flower field, abandoned long ago. In the 30s. Sea captain who brings sun, my first mate of all singing first mates, of all operatic dancers. Dance with me.

Description of a Friend
Six oh six a.m. Saturday the thirteenth. Today came in through twilight When last year it came through dusk Through a different man’s musk A different moon’s scent And I prevent myself in wavering for favoring others Because how can you decide if you can’t compare another brother? Don’t call me Jezebel, ******* I’m Scheherazade on these snitches Hippolyta—A lover and a fighter Ariel--a forest nymph, bound Sappho and Joan of Arc—United Call me the Queen on the ****** But I own that **** As I am.

Superstition
The white dove has been symbolic of abstract things. I ask it to fly far, put muscle on its wings. Until recently the dove atrophied inside the skull. Now I’ve forced it out, favoring strong emblems, images too pure for doubt: The Ark, the raven, the dove. The raven flew the globe but found no carrion worm. Because of instinct it was unable to confirm any paradigm or thought. Next the dove took flight and, though it failed at first, found a concrete symbol to quench the parched Ark’s thirst: one lonely olive leaf. But even olive leaf allows interpretation. Each stronger symbol creates its complication: the skull, the Ark, leaf and bird.

The Raven and the Dove
The clock in your room is stuck on 6:46 p.m. & I think that's all the time I need to fall in love with you. It didn't take much time for me to realize that your laugh was sweeter than every bakery in northern california , & that your teeth are whiter than my favorite sweater, & the dresses you wear could rehabilitate a ******* addict in the matter of minutes, & your favorite song is the same song that we were listening to when we decided that we're better off together than apart, & that walk that you have when you're wearing your favorite outfit could cure my severe illness for good. It didn't take much time for me to realize that 2+2 could only add up to equal you; that everything in the long run always added up to equal you. Time is a funny thing when all of it is spent with you, with your humor, your simple sarcasm, your addictive tickles, your favoring voice, your stupidly stimulating conversations, your cold yet inviting arms, your masterpiece of a body, your god-like heart, & most importantly your vivacious patience with me. Life is all about time, trial and error, & taking chances; & frankly you were the best chance I ever took, the best broken clock I could have ever spent all of my time with, & the best error I never made.

How shall I tell with tinseled word The beauty that is thine Can tongue so rough or phrase absurd Express creation divine If thy hand by chance would brush Then clouds, course as gravel fly Lest they be touched and with jagged husk Disgrace the vaulted sky A glance be cast from thine eye alone The sapphire brought to shame Must steal away no more than stone Its blazing fire tame Remove thy veil, thy countenance revealed Glorious Sol his face must hide Averting his gaze, his luster concealed Giving place of pride Should thy lips favoring, a kiss bestow Rubies abased, on bended knee Acknowledging a hue beyond that they know Become versed in humility If poor verse could induce thee to concede One exquisite facet of form or face Then thine eyes and mine should be agreed Upon thy incomparable grace

Pride and Paradigm
My head hurts Oh, how it pains me Oh, how you pain me with your presence Cant you see what you are doing to me? Cant you believe things for yourself? Why do you let them sway your opinion of me? Forget that I am here Forgive me for my faults Transcend all things like God... I dare you. Secretly, plotting revenge within the realm of my existence Hoping that all things will come to an end Favoring my thoughts, severing all ties.

revenge
I found myself rather regretfully royalty I was the only prince who loved lakes like licentious ladies loyally without question favoring the bodies long overdue with residue sounding this through soft interludes of chorus contorted to slither through forests I’ve intensely investigated an inner identity that is immediately invaded Intrinsically it envelops the slopes of my sinking body a womb created Warmth and depth traveling the leagues of notches spiraling spines when the repetition sets like leaving eight minutes left I’ll call this skin mine and of this, a mirrored radiation met my edges with great intention the waves of infinitely expelling time held my cells in detention radical rays of reason seasoned the sensational sensibility within me meticulously making messes of undefined cross-faded reality I separated the sections of spaces between the places I’m unfamiliar to I comforted myself with resounding sighs of width washing away a ‘who’ but the width was not distance it was the cognitive dissonance of temporal restrictions

His observant mind held Strands of coded bonds Fond of expressions for Incisive presentations Of what could be foretold. He metastasized thought And tempted his youth, unraveling behavior favoring adult endeavors And here I permit my fist Beneath my chin in complacency Statuesque, pondering whether My decisions are remnants of bloodlines, Coupled complexes attractive to be subtractive To my true desires Whether his dismays maybe in part To inquiries of adolescent angst The repetitive cycle remains with Finding one’s embodiment of identity

Clutch the throttle to keep us on the go, So the momentum will leave what we just did to our memories, To what we know, Because I’m already regretting the prospects I couldn’t surmise, And how you had the upper hand when I wasn’t even tongue tied, So keep that pedal to the floor, Despite the fact that I wanted this, And I’m praying that our actions won’t lead to a crisis It’s so hard to deny my mistakes, When I watch your every move, Hoping you want more Even when you’re just doing what you like, My objections to your advances fall short, Since I can’t help but feel this is right, Despite our love costing another their life Because I’m feeling the consequences of not being able to surmise, The price of our compromise, Because I’m feeling the effects of, My throat being sliced for favoring your roll of the dice, This is not a love letter, This is not the note you write before you leave your wife, This is not an explanation of why you hoisted your neck too high, This is about the ballot you sign to elect our guiding light, He or she, it or we, Whoever will be able to lead a society of the competent, A society of the weak, This is life and you’ve got to realize, I’m regretting the prospects I’ll never being able to surmise, The advances you made to get a prize A chance to keep me tongue tied Because a ballot is no better than a television to remind you and I, That we are attracted by what we see, Not by what you’ll do once your seen as a king, And whether you choose to lead

There were disappointed faces on the students in the quad The professor’s classes cancelled- illness  had struck their mortal god. A literary lion, A scholar world renowned. Pneumonia, favoring old men, was the disease that took him down. The Professor got the best of care and had a private room. His favorites brought him roses to brighten up the gloom. He was in an out of consciousness, oblivious to fading blooms. His true friends were dead poets and he imagined them about: Blake, with his wild head of hair; Bill Shakespeare’s pate without, Byron, dripping from the Hellespont, and Dylan Thomas chugging  stout. His breath was shallow, rasping His heart would skip a beat His mind would wander mercifully back to when the past  was sweet. He recalled playing the Wolf with a beauty named Naomi. Had she ever thought him handsome? Had he come across as phony? The monitor went flat line then They would save him, never fear. Naomi's accusations were still ringing in his ears.
