"geniuses" poems
*The time had come for two hearts to go their own way. 
 It wasn’t sad; it wasn’t angry; just profoundly honest;* In the whirlwind of young life Their love sudden He blew her away She caught his breath The lust explosive Captivated by each others touch Living the dream Fancy London apartment Chanel and Bottega Veneta Cap D Antibes Woke to keys of an MG Squealed with delighted ***** and Wine Yet in the depth of this life Fighting to be free To own their souls Losing sight of love The power of another life Kept them chained In the birth of her breath It came to an end *The legacy off their passion A sparkling spirit In the shadow of that spirit Never to know The geniuses of Her soul No captured memories His dying voice Silent to her life*

Young Life
From the BBC today, Excerpt Why does Taylor Swift write so many one-note melodies? "It's easy to get distracted by her celebrity, but Taylor Swift is a once-in-a-generation songwriter. From the very beginning, she's displayed a knack for melody and storytelling that most artists never master. Take, for example, her first US number one, OUR SONG Written for a high school talent show, it's a fairly typical tale of teenage romance until the final lines: "I grabbed a pen / And an old napkin / And I wrote down our song." That's smart, self-assured songwriting for someone who wasn't old enough to vote. Notably, the lyrics insert the musician directly into the narrative - something she developed into a tried and tested trope. But Our Song also establishes another of Taylor's trademarks: The one-note melody. Excerpt Repetitive melodies that centre around a single note are part of that appeal. They emphasise her relatability by mimicking the cadence of speech. "They emphasise her relatability by mimicking the cadence of speech." "They emphasise her relatability by mimicking the cadence of speech." "They emphasise her relatability by mimicking the cadence of speech." Rebuttal Rhyme sells because the people you are selling too can remember your lyrics. They can relate to your song but if they cannot sing it themselves putting themselves in the 'first-person perspective narrative' they cannot feel as-if they have BECOME the artist and are living that moment as they remember it. Taylor Swift sings about teenage love and angst something EVERYONE ON EARTH understands. ALL POETRY BEGAN AS RHYME IN SONG. Cadences are singing statements that confer a discipline and unity. Song acts as a catharsis. The artist shares their pain in a way that is universally understood. If you want to sell a rock, literally a pebble, you will not sell it if it doesn't look like a rock. If it doesn't do what rocks do. If it is not what people remember a rock to be like. Nor will it sell if it is just like every other rock they have ever seen. It cannot convey an emotion unless it elicits emotion. One cannot even begin to feel emotional if one cannot remember easily the past and that includes lyrics one has heard that evoked said emotional state. It is horrifying to see HOW BADLY EVERYONE INSISTS that rhyme be obliterated in exchange for an intellectual or individual perspective NOT SHARED BY THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE. If you want to sell and make money you better start thinking about the 99% of people who are not geniuses. If your sole goal in life is to attract a genius to give you a great job because of how, "smart," they perceive you to be then fine. You are not an artist. You are an employee. "Rhyme sells because the people you are selling too can remember your lyrics." "Rhyme sells because the people you are selling too can remember your lyrics." "Rhyme sells because the people you are selling too can remember your lyrics." Thrice Times Great. ⁻ᴴᵉʳᵐᵉˢ                                            BECOME                               EVERYONE ON EARTH                ALL POETRY BEGAN AS RHYME IN SONG                       HOW BADLY EVERYONE INSISTS             NOT SHARED BY THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE                                          HOW BAD                                       artist? or employee?

TO PUT the art and talent of Mindanaoan fashion design into the spotlight, Kagay’anon fashion designers put their hands together to organize the 5th Mindanao Fashion Summit at the Limketkai Center Rotunda from August 4 to 6, every 4 p.m. “Being a core event of the Higalaay festival, the opening salvo, the Mindanao Fashion Summit can really highlight fashion designers here in Cagayan de Oro and also in different points of Mindanao to let everyone see what they can do in the world of fashion design especially now that there are only so few opportunities for these designers to show off their works to the public. This is why we have the Mindanao fashion Summit because Kagay-anon designers believe that even if they join national fashion shows like the Philippine Fashion week, most of them still aren't getting the right encouragement as a fashion designer.” said Robbie Pamisa, the overall organizer of the event. The Fashion Summit is a three-day event composed of seven sub-categories such as the Mindanaoan collection, the Menswear collection, and the Ororama orange collection for the first day, the Guest Designers’ collection, the Fashion Institute of the Philippines collection and the Loop Lifestyle Fashion Show for the second day, and the Holiday Grand collection for the third day which will serve as the culmination of the fashion event. Mindanaoan Fashion designers from Cagayan de Oro as well as Davao, Butuan, Iligan, and Bukidnon have come to showcase their talents. Some of the fashion geniuses of the event include Alma Mae Roa, Angela Soriano, Ann Semblante, Benjie Manuel, Boogie Musni Rivera, Gil Macaibay III, John Mark Magellan’s, Joshua Guibone, Juniel Doring, Kiko Domo, Mark Christopher Yaranon, and Mavy Cooper de Leon. One of the highlights of the event is the Oro Fashion Designers’ Guild and the Designers Assembly featuring a collection of clothes using Mindanao material such as the Mindanao silk. Sponsors such as Ororama and The Loop Towers will also be showcasing their products in the fashion event. “Even student fashion designers from the Fashion Institute of the Philippines have been encouraged to participate so that they will be able to experience how a fashion show works. This is also a way for us to fulfill our mission to be another avenue for fashion designers to show what they have,” Paisa said.Read more at:http://www.marieaustralia.com/short-formal-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/long-formal-dresses

Emerging economies. What they’re emerging from I don’t know. My guess, the depths of hell. From the frying pan, right into the fire, or worse; a well. A deep hole stronger than gravity, the force. To be forever under the thumb of remorse. A modern era of endless acts, policies and bla bla bla. Shut up with all your platitudes. I see what’s really going on. Aha! You speak of sustainable development. Nice to know that you’ve led by example. Carried the mantle for all these years. Centuries of ruthlessness, now veiled in sheep’s clothing. But you won’t shut up. Because you don’t speak. You never have. You just do. Each day that goes by, you carry on anew. Behind all the talk of hope, equality and more progress, it seems the wolves are lurking. Cooking up the next tool to subdue countless. This time, not behind closed doors. But in plain sight. It’s scary to imagine such spite. Each year that goes by it becomes clearer that you never cared. You sold guns, drugs and all kinds of war. And each time, you kept coming back for more. You’ve built up antibodies that ensure your survival. But sometimes I wonder if you’re alive at all. But what do I know? Maybe you’re more alive than ever. Doing what you do best but always more clever. That not even the most stable of geniuses can evade your pressure. A strong enough foundation that each break makes you stronger, So strong that not even the Gremlin can take you under.   Against this dreary background, foregrounded is nothing short of magical. Beyond hope, prayers or a thoughtless radical. Or maybe this is all just fake outrage. An attempt to evade the boredom of this endless monotony and baggage. Or maybe, the term is out of date. Like every other, that makes me increasingly more irate. In which case, this poem is at least ten years late. Or maybe there are too many maybes’. And I’m perfectly suited for this time of vague uneasiness and indifference. In which case, my imagination probably needs more sociology and less a lesson in rhymes.

Stars shine on in a night sky so black you can see the truth. What is that light but an interruption to progress so blinding the sun blushes– as if another light vandalized our ever darkening sky. Closing out on reality, opening up to ideals, it’s the rays piercing through the layers and the yea-sayers nodding off to sleep in a darkness so deep. When the genius strips off the latent, flexes its manifest intelligence, and puts down thoughts that flare into the darkness. No effort from a sun fibbing eternal. The end might come but the hand who writes eternity can’t see the end coming. Who are the geniuses expelling the light and who are the receivers not likely to admit their stupor for fear of fantastic phantasms. Fleeing from their folly, straying into strange, insipid serials, unending, not rerunning– only growing obese with weight Of chances not spent.

Flares from a Dying Sun
Life can be painless Provided there is sufficient Peacefulness For a dozen or so rituals To be repeated simply Endlessly Your genius does not fail you It allows you to understand the Truth of the situation; Which makes you--at times-- more tragic than ever And your genius, like all geniuses Suffers periodic fits of monumental naïveté Hi-ho Listen: Where is Grace When milk and blood Are about to be added To the composition of the Stinking ping-pong ***** being manufactured In Grand Rapids? Schizophrenia The sound and appearance Of the word fascinates It sounds and looks to me Like a human being Sneezing in a blizzard of Soapflakes This much we know: You made yourself hideously Uncomfortable by not narrowing Your attention to details Of life that were immediately Important And by refusing to believe what Your neighbors believed Hi-ho Let your imagination continue To be the flywheel on the Ramshackle machinery of the truth. But not the ‘awful’ truth The ‘beauty’ in truth Because we are a part Of a system that is very Restless, With people tearing around All the time Every so often, somebody stops to put up A monument Ours is a country where Everybody is expected to Pay his own bills for Everything, And one of the most Expensive things a person Can do is get sick Grace: Because if we stay here We’ll do one of two things (or both!) Build a Commune Or do like Collin Heise did: Make the main thing that we do be this: Move seventy-eight Thousand pounds of olives To Tulsa, Oklahoma Even if we can’t Improve the quality of our surroundings We’ll do our best to make our Insides beautiful instead Piebald Roadtrip-writing, baby Hi-ho You are the turtle able to live anywhere even under water for short periods With your home on your back A particular comfort in Realizing that it so often feels There is no order in the World around us That we must adapt ourselves to The requirements of Chaos instead Remember: We are healthy Only to the extent that Our ideas are Humane To you To me To ourselves To We

So much for superheroes saving the day; Every good guy's epilogue is a cliche. Tedious compulsory celebrations For all their mundane actions. A villain's portrayal is what excites me. Ever since a kid I could already see; Creativity in all those gimmicks, Geniuses of ***** tactics. It is never easy to become the antagonist. The object of all hate and blacklist; The one that is destined to fail, To fulfill a comic's holy grail. Yet the bad guys do most of the heavy work, Perfecting their schemes with an evil smirk; But every time they're about to win, The plot will smash their plan to ruins. They say some people are destined to be heroes; It's a fate preordained a long time ago. But the truth is that everyone needs a villain, To finally uncover their life's meaning. What the world generally calls as criminals, In reality are just misunderstood equals. They taught me more about the cruel life, Better than any superhero's strife.

I Grew Up Rooting for the Bad Guys
Five minute street artists and insomnia mongers. ****** drunk blondes and finger snapping phat booties. Street geniuses bred by Machiavellian philosophies cypher dreams over tokes of marijuana smoke. Color worshipping narcotic traffickers,   and bread winners parole corners sporting fitted caps and twisting fingers. Senile war veterans beg for change in cardboard boxes from the American dreams they afforded. Hard workers with every ethnicity molded into each pore of their face, rub shoulders with tourists at traffic stops barely escaping tires crushing their feet. Sartorial geniuses with no pants switch hips in knock-off stellos heels, selling the origin of the world on avenues next to Arab Halal food. Cooperate ties and blue collars chafe ***** on subways. nodding in and out of Daily News articles   while oxygen blessed by asparagus **** pump through their noses. Summa *** laude number runners dictate economies From sky-crapper offices, And powered rain swallows their concrete each winter, With no apologies.

The Genius Philosophizing the universe One who thinks of quadratic theories of space and time On his free time The one who thinks of beautiful poetry To a delightful muse The Madman Inventing ways he can put math to his cause Always thinking of things to invent Ideas- a storm of them Intelligence- enormously, yes Standing behind a corner Stalking his love I ask you: Is there much difference between madmen and geniuses? Aren't they the same?

The Genius vs. The Madman
The art of the geniuses is packed like overstuffed crayons in the alleyways of my city. That one is picking his nose. There is the bench-sleeper. Here comes the nomad with the stroller. I watch them carefully like a soldier on an ambush, bayonet at the ready, a little drunk on self-worth. They approach and I pause. I put the camera to my face and press the shutter. Turning to me their eyes beam sorrow. The nose picker slept alone last night, the nomad is still lost. In black and white they will forever navigate the crawl spaces of my mainframe.

Street Photography
Painters, by the highest degree of inspiration, And poets who with the Muse commune, Command in their respective trades un- Common craftmanship, exquisite creation Of pen and brush upon the parchment And canvass, through unfettered figment. Gifted: poets, painters and musicians. Three Geniuses on this terrestrial plane, with mind As efficient as the moon in its fullest grind, As do all artistic souls whose mastery In finest workmanship are seen. Worship The God of arts ye astronauts in spaceship, For poets and painters are cardinal in artistic Enrolment--and no less endowed are many another Like sculptors--with thoughts solitary and cryptic.

Pythagoras taught that reality was but one among an infinite number now u've got the quantum multiverse; & Pythagoras thought of it first,   saying all it amounted to was a line leading to & through a point, like a thread through a needle;       & so the Universe was stitched together like a multi-directional dream catcher; excluding no area in space &  miracles taking place                                        when the strings        are manipulated according to preset                patterns or improvised designs; what else did the ancient ancients do that make ur high-tech gadgets look like the simple-minded toys that they in truth are; the ancients   told time by the movement of the sun & shadows & communicated w/ unseen higher spirits, conferred w/ still higher spirits,   higher than those both above & below;  spirits taking the form of sacred prostitutes & poets, geniuses every one of them

Thoughts
I remember what we used to be Swinging and climbing up every tree That time when everyone would go outside just to play tag Now all we got is 8 year old kids complaining about too much lag And all those ballin' teenagers saying 'We got so much swag' Now one of the only things you see Is teen girls selling out virginity 25$ at one time you could've almost caught a taxi ride from here to Tennessee I feel sorry for the next generation Swag ballin' COD players running this nation Now just give me one second of concentration heavy intake of breath Sorry, all the violence in the world has sent my mind through so much rehabilitation I realized everything we thought was right was wrong Simple math, it shouldn't have taken us this long But it doesn't matter cause everyone's taking a hit from the nearest **** These geniuses go and call others ******** Thanks, we're all mentally unstable and needed an excuse to be carted To the nearest funeral home Cause no one ever put us under loves dome Ding ding ding we have a winner Obviously the one without a ring on their finger Forever alone because others see them as a sinner When all they're trying to do is get another night's dinner 22 years from now we'll all be middle aged Stuck in a job wanting to be uncaged The worlds resources steadily going down the drain An we're all stuck on a one way train To hell or up above That's when you wish you'd just been born a dove Life's quite tough don't be late It seems today is quite an important date Though you've already come so far One day you'll be crying in a bar Thinking about your past when it was so easy Every day the wind was cool and breezy And you were swinging and climbing up every tree I remember what it used to be

They say it's not safe to walk around here You'll see women standing on street corners Few drunk mortals and usual dealers Still, it has a unique flair that's sincere. Interesting folks spotted at cafes Nights and on weekends, the scene is alive Best galleries in town, boutiques survive A form of art, nothing close to cliches. The kind of place that gives someone a fright A misconception for some who can't stand The riveting darker side of their mind; It's here geniuses like Baudelaire saw light. There is something alluring about them Those society scorn, the marginalized. Judgmental souls persist; not so surprised When below the surface waits a poem. The people here have no care in the world. Whether it's where they work or their hangout Here, free spirits do not need to stand out They think lightly and none shall be bothered. They say it's not safe to walk around here It's the truth, one must be a bit careful But this area, genuinely soulful; Rather here, red light district I revere.

Red light district
People praise geniuses like they praise trophies after all that hard work they are put in a shelf where they will dust until that shelf is destroy or until they are needed for entertainment being drain from their polish The trophy has no identity It is own by society only to be use again and again. Some trophies accept their fate others glamour in the sunlight where they reflect all light being seen in the world as special while being treated as **** at the end and for all it's genius an all it's glory It wasn't smart enough to break free. I guess what all geniuses and trophies are missing is Acknowledgment of True Self As a genius is just a human being and a trophy, a scrap a metal both made from the same old atoms.

Geniuses are no different than trophies
This one’s for the smart kids. This one is for the honor students, and the straight A students This is for the kids who stay up half the night studying, and the kids who work their ***** off for their grades This is for the kids who can define and spell Antidisestablishmentarianism or tell you what DNA stands for (it’s deoxyribonucleic acid by the way) This is for the teachers pets, the geeks, and the nerds. And the student who skips parties so she can study for her test. This is for the kids who can solve complex mathematic equations in their head This is for the kids who know that you don’t use “I” in a formal essay, and that okay is spelled O-K-A-Y, not O-K. This is for the kids who can recite pi up to 200 hundred places, and the ones who can solve a rubix cube in 2 minutes flat. The ones who take two language classes, and the ones who have been saving for college since they were born. Geniuses of the 21st century, this is for you. I would give you a gold star and a check plus for what you’ve done, but I’m sure you have gotten plenty of those. So I think I will just tell you something that only we could understand; Superb job at pursuing your academic careers with such ambitious outlooks on the world, and for having such admirable self-motivation. I know that sometimes it ***** to be academically inclined, but in 5, 10, 20 years you will be working in some law firm or doing something you love and making multiple figures while the kids who blow off their school life will be stuck working for minimum wage at McDonalds or as a waitress for the rest of their lives. So keep writing essays and doing extra credit because it’s not enough to survive high school, you have to thrive, and reach for the metaphorical stars.

Geniuses Of The 21st Century
This one’s for the smart kids. This one is for the honor students, and the straight A students This is for the kids who stay up half the night studying, and the kids who work their ***** off for their grades This is for the kids who can define and spell Antidisestablishmentarianism or tell you what DNA stands for (it’s deoxyribonucleic acid by the way) This is for the teachers pets, the geeks, and the nerds. And the student who skips parties so she can study for her test. This is for the kids who can solve complex mathematic equations in their head This is for the kids who know that you don’t use “I” in a formal essay, and that okay is spelled O-K-A-Y, not O-K. This is for the kids who can recite pi up to 200 hundred places, and the ones who can solve a rubix cube in 2 minutes flat. The ones who take two language classes, and the ones who have been saving for college since they were born. Geniuses of the 21st century, this is for you. I would give you a gold star and a check plus for what you’ve done, but I’m sure you have gotten plenty of those. So I think I will just tell you something that only we could understand; Superb job at pursuing your academic careers with such ambitious outlooks on the world, and for having such admirable self-motivation.

The Son of Rome, strong and clear in mind, Once proud and mighty, a holder of power, Has fallen to the depths of humankind, Not asking of his downfall and best hour. From day to day, his seed did change and grow In others shapes, not meant for nature's rules, Its soil has turned fruitless, it is barren now, Turning from geniuses into fools. Where is the crusader with waving sword, Coming to rescue all his oppressed brothers? The viking with its axe, without a lord, Invoking fear within the heart of others? Although since birth a foe of my ideal, Disappointment and mourning's what I feel.

The Son of Rome
as you hear the orifices of space calling out to you the ropes of time tenderly start embracing you as you march out of all infinity you see more than the trace of you The universe sings to you and a question begins with tune beyond the multiverse see you the original Creation Family? And what's to say that that was the only Family? As there is more than verse in song where are the other chords of sing along? The verse cries out in song a sing and sing but what of the bells of ring and ring Would we be astounded to learn that the One True Source, the FATHER, that even He has a home It was not all revealed when ruled in Rome so how are we to dare to think that we aren't swimming in folly's foam? 1+1=3 in Binary, but Binary is not the only numerical scene What if the FATHER has a brother or two? What if The Source has more than one wife, what if is what if but “if” is enough for imagination if wills that it is for: "How Can I Think I Know if I do Not See What I Say" who is the director rolling the film on display? How do we make it out of time and space? This tube that has us trapped in planes not to say the Fairies haven't decorated however the Grey and Lizards have doctored beyond the Universal Emperors, we're told of one True King and this is the True Light the source of light and sound but did you know of wind and smoke? Do you that there's a place where this does not choke Would you think that the multiverse or omniverse is just one country in a massive continent, do you know of the potential creation in places that have no energy? See you then the carpet and curtain the ceiling that reveals this tapestry if in fact we're an expanding atom, where has the scientist gone to? Should we know the purpose of our creation impromptu? Standing on the balcony of space, you learn that time and space are one but balance is none Until we return home to the Source and with the Light we are One... We'll then soon learn of the other numbers... For if planets are dots then imagine the multiverse to be a ball and what's more the clown is juggling more than one ball, and what's beyond is that it's a whole circuis Geniuses or Comedians?

******* at tickling the ivories, at inducing the jet buttons to chortle, say, in a concerto ; but I do strum and flirt with those amazing royal, 88 unrepentant loyal keys for Jupiter and Saturn, for Mars and Neptune, making a blank bland tune for extraterrestrial beings for fun. On the cosmic moors the moon's whirling feet cease for my discordance. What a slurred entrance by F in D major! Only a novice--an amateur. I'm no magnificent pianist, O majestic Mercury. Summon the stars the search to lead for a supreme virtuoso, one of  no incongruent ingenuity like this dilettante--a pseudo music polymath, counsels Thebe. A Mozart, Beethoven, or Bach? Any of the greats scored above, as well as geniuses like David and Handel. Impressario fly! Flee thou away and go get a classic maven. Otherwise sleep there forever at Erebus, never dream of waking up in Eden. Circuitous world stops: strings break off at the Earth's axis-- the Sun's panels pause and darkness' movement begins its own obscure notes to improvise: apace demented melody is released,-- bathos of symphony: tinny wine of concord settles on the lees of discord. Asteroids hooting some ***** calls when into the grand chrysolite chamber-- in her tailor-made blistering gown-- strolls in the coruscating Venus in the sturdy arm of jaundiced Uranus, garbed in his glistening stomacher. Like a ball, all eyes are bouncing hither and thither, up and down, googling and ogling, once more at them leering, gaping at the irreplaceable paintings of da Vinci, Picasso, and Van Gogh cavorting  upon the weightless walls to the romantic performance of Strauss in the palace orchestral of Bacchus.

Sanity is basically the society's way Of telling you that you are accepted And that you most likely are Like everyone else... Different levels of insanity May not always be true Its just not as widely accepted As sanity and all that mainstream stuff But it doesn't mean that you Truly do fall under that category Of complete and utter voodoo. Majority of the times, It just means you're staying true To the person you are That is not defined by the regular border-lines It just means that you are different And that's not as bad as they Make it sound like It's just different opinions that's all. One day the world Will come to understand from your eyes It always does take time to understand The geniuses of the world.

By: Cedric McClester Be careful what you say Your words can convey A message that uplifts Just like birthday gifts Or by their mere sound Bring someone down Cos words can be profound Whether adjective or noun Think before you speak And be kind to the meek Words can soothe away The worries of the day Or words can cause pain And bring nothing but disdain They can linger and remain Implanted in your brain Words can be like tools For geniuses or fools But once they're cast about They remove any doubt About whoever spoke them And it's hard to revoke them So try not to provoke them Better that you yoke them Words better left unsaid Should remain in your head Once they're in the atmosphere They can't simply disappear Consider this when you speak Or an errant word might leak Even when it's tongue and cheek That excuse is very weak (c) Copyright 2015, Cedric McClester.  All rights reserved.
