"heresy" poems
Coffee , cake and tea Where are all the Jonquills March has come late Without a yellow promise Without a breath of warm air The sea is shallow Without shells Just goes on and on Not even up to my knees And she talks of heresy Conjectures , probabilities On and on and On and on Fools make mistakes Wise men err To one man  the sun sets Another rises to the occasion

Holding a pen in hand, preparing pitch-black ink for a blank paper, I begin with gentle, delicate movements, letting it slide over it. One line follows another, one without any bother, any care to it. A regular starshaped polygon, surrounded by a simple circle has been made, one which holds meaning to it, hidden underneath ink. Some might gaze at it as a sign of a greater evil, heresy or worse, Others might watch it in awe, a sign of protection a symbol of hope. A maze with two ends has been made, each with its own belief. However, my tired eyes, which have been worn, gaze at it and see beauty, the connection of each line contains grace, closed by the circle. Thus a smile has been cast on my face, as I look at it another time, Noticing how the black ink has taken the papers purity my cheering sight perishes, saddens in an instant, what I had drawn had become unrecognizable, as the paper spread the ink and distorted this image. The broken in the light, moist and now fragile, drops through, in wonderous, ominous distraction, leaving a great hole in the middle. Unable to be ever repaired the paper finds its trail into the trash, A puddle left of what it was, mixed with the pitch black, had to be cleaned up, so that another attempt could be made, another try. So I pick up my pen once again and connect the lines with a smile. ~ Umi

The Pentagram
Deceit, my throne Agony, my crown Within an ocean of tears, the silent man drowns Pain so clear, across this grim façade Life serene, cut so close, by this paper god This seed of market and stock, supply and demand The story of capitalism written by greed’s melancholy hand A story so sad, imbued with regret Consumerism the tragedy- heresy is debt

When the Earth was spinning, All vacant and wasted, And a voice that came thundering, All the poison, that you all tasted, And all the one left, now unwashed, hearing nothing but silence, becoming the one's who suffered, when all the believers, died, and the non believers, survived, the destruction of the planet, hatred heated by a human cannon. Now who will pray for Babylon, When humanity acts upon, Now, Who will sing for Babylon, When Humanity is the Evil Spawn, Now who will pray for Babylon, Amon of the breath and Air, Amon, where is Thebes, Now, Who will sing for Babylon, Humanity, Governments, Religion, Black, LGBTQ Communities, Planting the Evil Seeds. When the Earth was spinning, All vacant and wasted, Adam and Eve was created, To love and be Mother Earth, Father Dearest, Forbidden Fruit that sent you, to Hell, Oh Adam, You're the Devil, Lucifer, Adam, Did you heard the snake voice, Why did you follow the advice, To pick and eat, Do you live in all of us, Do we eat, to become Deceit. Now who will pray for Babylon, When humanity acts upon, Now, Who will sing for Babylon, When Humanity is the Evil Spawn, Now who will pray for Babylon, Amon of the breath and Air, Amon, where is Thebes, Now, Who will sing for Babylon, Humanity, Governments, Religion, Black, LGBTQ Communities, Planting the Evil Seeds.

There Is But One Law (The Dancer's Coda) There is but one set of laws, One that need be obeyed, One that brooks no heresy, One that gives no absolution. One that needs no priests, no canons, One that that refuses disobedience. We all bend knee at altar invisible, Though feasance never requested. The Laws of Physics. A body at rest, a body in motion. Laws immutable, unconditional, Equations, proofs, demonstrable, Inequalities inexcusable, banished. Dancer says: I am heretic, even these laws I refuse. My body denies limitations, My mind believes I will make do What it could not, but yesterday. Defiance from wire to wire is the Fuel in my veins, fear but a detail, Leaping from from ten meters more, My Declaration of Independence. My body plastic, my mind ethereal, Some mock, call it trickery, Some hail, call me hero. There are forces greater than mine, Forces irrevocable, mathematically superior. Each day my force grows as well, Visions imagined supersede the Tedium of definitions, of boundary lines. Bend the law, conquer the null, fill the void. Each day sketch, devise, organize a New rebellion, follow only one command, Honor but a single battle cry. Leap, then fall! That dancer, your only law, That heretic, thine only coda. Action is freedom. For you are dancer, Whisper as you leap: The Fifth Freedom I possess, The Freedom to Fall. May 17th, 2013

There Is But One Law (The Dancer's Coda)
They Call It Heresy, We Call It Genuine Science We designed the genes' primers, Ordered them along the oligomers. Our aim is an elaborate one, It involves molecular cloning, Sequence characterization, and Relative expression analysis of Bovine Trefoil Factors. Now we hope to clone the gene, The gene which is of a bovine origin, By extensive working hours input, And bearing in mind the risks, Of not getting the desired output, The possibility of failure always therein, But pregnancy, healing & immunity it's governing. Three types of trefoil factors there are, TFF1: It suppresses gastric carcinoma, And also helps in pregnancy, TFF2: Helps exclusively in cancer research, TFF3: Helps exclusively in pregnancy maintenance, And also our prime interest. After cloning the genes, We have to sequence them, And after characterization, We have to analyse them, After relative expression.

We Hopscotch The Bonnets And Glue Ravenous Bumblebees To A Blanket Of Snow
So many succumb to Group Think in such a way that it is dangerous. From a young age, though I knew not yet of the notion, I rejected opinions passed to me as fact for the reason that opinions are subjective: I did not hold as 'beautiful' what they told me I ought to. I did not hold as 'wondrous' what they said was so. I did not hold as 'difficult' what others had not yet accomplished. I did not regard as 'easy' what others had yet done. I was not serious when they told me I must be. I made jokes when they deemed it distasteful. I laughed at the hypocrisy, right in it's face. I didn't just lay down and accept it as fate. I did not like the music they told me to like. I did not believe the biased history they taught as absolute and true. I did not worship the mythic Gods they made to be literal. I refused to pledge my allegiance in a brainwashed mass to any flag of any nation under any God with Liberty and/or Justice for merely a few. Over time I acquired my own taste for these things: I grew to appreciate the discrepancy between what I was told and what I observed. From there, I formulated my own opinions, I became an Individualist. A Heretic. They sure don't make it easy. Individualism, to me, does not connotate isolationism, though with isolation can come self-awareness and self-discipline. Individualism, to me, refers to finding one's own Path; being a Heretic; staying true to your own Path. To be a Rebel to undue Authority. To not be afraid to defy your peers. To be an Anarchist within one's self. To practice Civil Disobedience. Plus, the friends you will make if you live this way will blow your ******* mind and last you a lifetime. - Opinions are never concrete; they must curve and morph with the ebb and flow of your particular life. Opinions and Taste must be relative to one's own personality and life if they are to be genuine. Even still, the pull of the social tide is not so easily resisted: You are succumbing to Group Think even more than you might think but I think, or at least I think (that) I think that we can all overcome Group Think if we would all just stop and think. Don't you think?

When the funding is cut So the hospitals shut That’s a Tory When the poverty bites And you lose human rights That’s a Tory Such excess Better reassess Better repossess Better get yourself private healthcare Overtaxed if you work Unemployed? Then you're scrounging on welfare When there’s bigoted views Blatant lies on the news That’s a Tory When the biggest and best Are too rich to arrest That’s a Tory But they’re lax Covering the cracks Never paying tax Claiming everything on expenses They can steal with a smile While they peddle their flimsy defences When they're guilty of fraud And they're banking abroad That's a Tory If they're selling your school When 'austere' means 'cruel' That's a Tory Too much spin Slogan and a grin Wearing pretty thin Bussing people in to applaud them Any law can be bought If you're well off enough to afford them That's all folks and remember, you can't spell Theresa May without heresy **

That’s a Tory (to the tune of That's Amore)
My heart was found guilty Of witchcraft by my brain He dragged her and beat her Spewed his hatred for her Tied her to a wooden stake My brain couldn't comprehend The magic of my heart Why she never wavered How she always loved He started this persecution Because he couldn't understand I always felt her growing Beautifully and powerfully With every beat she won me over All I did was want to protect her But my brain called it heresy My punishment was to watch As he burned her alive I heard the shrieks of hope die The smell of her love stung My nostrils and it haunts me still I walk around pretending As if nothing had ever happened My brain condemned me to live This life without my heart Without the love and only With the memory of that night Every day I burn like she did As every day I hate like he did I was unable to convince him That she just wanted to love But my brain was too afraid Of the powers of my heart

The Witch, The Persecutor and The Heretic
The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference. Elie Wiesel. 4/11/2016.

Indifference.
Phanerogams are plants which produce seeds. The wanton harlot may be laid against the wall, with legs splayed, and may also have given birth to unbridled rage. However, even though such stages of development can be entitled as “son of a ***** it is worth noting that all behaviour has meaning, my darkened companion of presumed sophistication. The scholastic scribes will etch their wisdom upon the hardness of our vile vanity. I hold in my hand a gothic stone, where those who stand before the courts accused of heresy and witchcraft can plead innocence before chanting crowds of bloodlust. The reaper will gather the harvest at Lughnasadh, whilst the olfactory nerve propagates her funeral games amidst the cutting of ancient cornfields. As we perch upon the gallows end, let us join hands and chant the mantras of old. Photosynthesis is a forensic entrancement where there is no rest for the sinner.

So it wrinkles, this Righteous Heresy All due to Flavours spat-out by your Youth To lose that Touch; Then amend Destiny I guess after all is the Proper Truth And notice your Baggage all Night and Day With the many Props you have to carry Since, this Cage, the Kingdom's Letter your Way You found the Mole to a Mountain he'll tarry So, Fortune's East beg for your timed receipt Though a Million shy it is not enough And cope this Passage with your Conceit To join the Mob and level your Thoughts rough. As for me, to the House I contemplate Whether to abandon or shift my Fate.

SONNET TRIBUTE SUNDRY - EIGHTY-THREE - TOM DALEY
Once for Halloween I dressed up as Athena The Greek goddess My favorite Greek goddess And it was a decent costume Your standard iParty fare Paired with an elaborate hairdo and some 50 cent earrings And I knew I was only a cheap imitation Nothing close to the real thing For no one would ever build me a temple Burn cattle in my name Put on white robes and fall to their knees For me No, not for me But for Athena Oh, how they fell! How the ancient Greeks worshipped her very name Gave her their capital city And dedicated the most powerful force to her Wisdom That force which drove the philosophers The very energy That sustained Socrates And Plato And Aristotle And all those dead guys we read about in class I was in a class Reading the words those dead guys collected In their moments of clarity But all I could think about All I really wanted Was to throw on a white robe And fall to my knees at the Parthenon Begging for wisdom, wisdom Please, Athena, some wisdom! I don't care if it's heresy I don't care if you're a myth nowadays Because you once reigned You once stood on Mount Olympus In all your ancient power And watched your people crying out wisdom, Athena, wisdom! Please! I wish I could have been there I wish I could have seen The day the goddess cracked open Zeus's skull And was born Fully armed Ready for her battle Not the fight for wisdom, no The fight she faced was undying The war she would lead Would ripple through the ages Taking all civilizations And tearing at their social order For it was the men she was fighting The disbelieving fools who put her *** down Taking all women's wisdom And deeming it inferior Substandard Not good enough So Athena blazed in glory And for her, men believed Believed in their mothers and wives and daughters Saw in that enthroned goddess The sparks that fueled women's minds Yes, I wish I'd been there I wish I could have kissed her sword And asked her to stick around To blaze her way to the twenty-first century And make these guys tremble, too Instead I look around my 80% male college of engineering And wonder why I need to prove my worth Simply because I have a second x chromosome I wish that I could blaze in glory And dazzle them all the same That my Halloween costume could be enough to fool them That they would turn their toga-party bedsheets Into white robes And fall to their knees Gasping, "Wisdom, wisdom!" And that, for one moment I could be their goddess

They hide behind A masked impunity One that loiters on the lips That gathers dust While proclaiming A nightmare of angels Who haunt derangement In startling blasphemous hullucinations Which excite to the point of delerium Who menace with grandiose examples Which surpass all human capacities Renouncing indisputable rights as heresy Keeping their stones not cast, unthrown

Lo, the drunken ordinance of light through stained glass, lest to rehash the peopled white of infinity. Reach...with what folding passion second guesses the labor of its love...the warm footfalls of the sun overlaying the intricacy of a snowflake...as captions of bone dissolving upon the motion picture. Perpetually opening seasons enamored directionless...cancellation and activation which is The Spark upon dark...striations of dreams upon the gyres of galaxies. Proofs positive of palpable breath, given and taken in gloried passage. The cloistered ghost gifted the laughability of its cloister. A polish fit for heresy...listen to the crystalline structure as it bats its eyelashes.

The sweetest Heresy received
Iron shackles never felt so good baby Nothing ever felt sweeter than the fleet of your breeze Chain me up, slash my knees Come on baby, you be the bird ill be the bee       You can hold my hand as we traverse the sea trying to escape this vanity I've got the heart, you've got the key Believe    And when my eyes become heavier than my heart You can be the one to hang me up for heresy You can keep me in the corner of your closeted heart Your beak will run wild and mock me with parody While I buzz through my life, with the weight of all my yesterday's Maybe all the greed will open my eyes to see Maybe this is the key, maybe I can finally be free

In the Corner of your Closeted Heart
when a nation implodes into a civil war, it is heresy for other nations to intervene, i didn’t hear of the french intervention in the english civil war... or a german intervention in the french civil war... ****** didn’t invade spain, and no african nation intervened in the american civil war... or mongolia invading russia via siberia to save the tsar... but i guess the concept of                           globalisation changed all that, when western nations forgot that they have professional armies... while syria          has a liechtenstein / gibraltar army equivalent... former postmen, cooks, bakers butchers and lawyers turned professional “footballers;” i can draw you a dairy cow in crayons if you like, oozing blood: if this view is too complex to digest - they do it with passion...                 your soldiers do it for a paycheque, get it?

the liechtenstein / gibraltar army of syria
we are a highway kiss away from madness — tonight, you burn what's left of my breaths and i stay and sit and hold the matches to this roadside fire in total awe, darling like an angel after his fall. some things, too raw to die for heresy — some things, too raw to be an anomaly.

Rustle in the leaves, tussle with the vines, afoot in the tree of life, the gutsy snake coiling, Raddled and rattled with mans sin, Divulgence to the loner who cherished the fruit, in the dusky orange red skies which brought in the adhen and from the tolling bells in the distant church , While the snake lolloped in the stark blue skies, Manipulating this oppo for the abyss. The wandering seam of the night,moon, With flickering light forbade the seance on the seemlessly never ending night, Pity the snake for another morn would rise For it will have to go to the *** ,no the pit. The ***** and cuckoo within cooee , chanted and coerced another morn out ! Following the sun like the grail, the people lounged in to the waters of the ganges. While broods of hurted children huddled in hate, hurling stones at the traitor. Hauling the renegade into the throngs, Hunnish hands assaulted him until he swooned in to the motherlands lap, Hue and cry of the avengers brought in the tripper, Heavy loads hugged on to his shoulders, In poise words he spoke, ''for every creation has its flaws, And when we batter on the withered soul, It leaves the barren man dry again, To ward off evil is like blowing into the forges of Vulcan, And only when tests and temptations are burnt in the bonfires of joy, will man be moulded into a joyous being'' Hissing whisphers from the crowd spoke, Heresy of the tripper is the hold, Hasten yourself and bring our brother medication, Hunt down the snake will we, For this vagabond has spoken in verses, Only to be filed in the trippers travelogue. Hushed up as the snake in the pit.

Step into my universe You'll see only words In my mind, flurry of feathers Hurricane of riled up birds. They amass and circulate Searching to break free Storm of ink; doesn't abate Bleed out for no one to see. *Hidden inside my heart Forbidden words I long to convey Teach me how to start With you I foist to play.* Words veiled by silent secrecy, Cloaked words I long to shout Bordering the point of heresy Tabooed words without doubt. Almost an eternity I've whispered With care and only hushed tones Well kept secret undiscovered Laying quiet under unturned stones. Thought myself alone when I heard another One that sings choral to my own A mournful call that sang together Grey melodies embodied in skin and bone. *The cravings of my heart Your words I wish to fill In my head occupies the biggest part Our declaration's the only seal. A vow you and I made A love we wish to last forever Dismissing that opportunities evade Who would need a supporting paper. Hidden softness within me Only you can tap and enjoy The only one that holds the key Heart and mind meet to employ.* Our hearts, like kings, would've risen Adorned and bejewelled on their crests Let us sing in unrehearsed unison Crowned words we've locked in our chests.
