"ideological" poems
A confident man feels not a need to speak on all things with which he does not agree Though in the proper time and place he is not afraid to assert his way And though his words at times cause spurn, he will admit when they are out of turn Fearing not the inevitable mistake, but rather owning it too late Caring and feeling without hesitation and not for reciprocal adulation Emotions are expressed appropriately; either subtlety or rationally As honest with others as with himself; recognizing what he does and doesn’t do well Claiming to know what he does know and asks when he don’t Pursuing tasks for their benefit and or joy rather than status or fleeting ploys Those latter things are often great fun, but worry of them yields none While in his mind there is good thinking, he is more occupied with good acting In order to have concerns of the ideological, requires labors that are practical On his confidence, he does not ponder, as neither he or anyone wonders of whether he truly possesses it. We know it.

there is a darkness that the silver song of soft illusion lights in symbolic equivalents of images real it is a light brutally interrogative magnifying with dazzling rays the breakage at the jagged edges of the world and lays hostage to impersonation that resembles fragments of smashed oval shaped mirrors reflecting pieces of broken brown terracotta soldiers and causes the eyes to hurt with a watched inner holocaust of disturbing coloured detonations, implosively autonomous given to a deceived departure a departure from reality given by the advocacy of ideological rationalism that sees three kings with blood on their crowns in amplified convulsions call mustre for disturbance, disorder, destruction and death as blood stains the Balkan streets and all emotional impulse is volatilized and a sinister, stuporous, stagnancy stalks the land where sustaining minds are subject to a brutal insensitivity that dazzles on the edge of a spiral vertigo it is a light brutally interrogative magnifying with dazzling rays a vocabulary of incoherence like the rancid stains of ***** that inhabit the jagged edges of the world

Living this life is unpredictable until the end; conclusions of the statement are only made from opinionated experiences. At the dawn of birth, there is "choice" and "choices", are for better or worse. There is an expression that goes, "everything is likely fifty-fifty in choosing", consequently believe it to be true. Humanity exemplifies a just way of living, in an understanding that people make poor decisions due to the life they may have been brought up in, however, this life is full of petty mistakes as we know it, some unfortunate souls are born into a dysfunctional or broken family and others of a different situation i.e.(poverty). This could cause unjust mannerisms that occur in the daily lives we so often face. These situations very freely throw more than the average curve ball growing up. Sadly, I ask that we feel sorrow for the majority of individuals with an intention that in reading this; it would justify some clarity in my eyes through yours. With clarity, let there be a world in heartthrob, which could potentially change mankind towards purity. A very specific conclusion led me to this; When a man struggles at his own destiny because of his nature vs. nurture, his good along with his bad leak like a salivating sieve. However, his “good” shows his mentality and lust for life, yet his “bad”, shows his incompetence relating to a moral dignity for the greater good of living (if unfortunate). As this revelation evolves, humanistic mannerisms slowly slip away in a young society and fade from the common core values we once knew from our elders. Surrounded by an ideological critical society, a fear trembles for our youth has no future in a sense for they may be too deaf to hear their state of “consciousness”, to the extent of being blind to see their own “actions”. "The unknown spectator of our world; is the light beyond the dark,"

Ideological Pandemic (Abducting Identity)
We are born unto a crown of thorns. Our tender skin rendered vulnerable to self-made deities, rambling idols. Our minds are roped and tied, binding our thoughts with punishments. Punishments disguised as pathways of love. What love is brought into this world, when love is taught by the bloodshed of others. What people are created with love made from threats of searing flesh? When did love become less about acceptance and more about separating those deemed worth and unworthy? Gods of fear curse our world with tainted versions of love. We are forced to our knees before the power of an almighty being unknown to mankind. In searching for purpose, we have forsaken our freedom. We fall victim to the fears that numb our brains liked "Grade A"  pharmaceuticals. If your god is almighty, all loving, and all seeing, why does he rule without mercy? Why does he require full and complete submission as the only pathway to him? We go to war under the guise of bringing freedom. Our politicians preach out from mountains our right to freedom and free will. But when the votes are cast, and the campaigns are run, we scuttle home to spread the single most imprisoning ideological mindset to others. Why fight for freedom, when we give it away so willing to a man behind smoke and mirrors?

Almighty Hypocrites
No, I'm not a capitalist, a socialist or a communist . I'm not a racist, a fascist or a nationalist. No, I'm not an idealist, a pacifist or a humanist. I'm not a Buddhist, a Taoist or an atheist. No, I' m not an activist, a conspiracist or even an anarchist. Neither elitist nor philanthropist. I am just me, there is no twist. I am simply me, happy to exist, sick of symbols and ideological mist. Open your heart and you will see, it is not me or you, it's we. Symphony in the cacophony. Let's tell the king while on his knee, I am me and we are free and that is how it's gonna be. You have gone too far, oh mighty Czar, but we can break any bar, ist das klar? We are humans, we insist, and from your labels we desist. We are people and we're ****** oh we promise, we'll resist. I am me and I am we. I am you and so is she. We are the leaves of the tree, but what will fall is tyranny We are I, my oh my, and we shall fight until we die. We are I so we can fly. We are I and we stand high. 23/04/12

Once I lost you Once I tossed you You never said a word I never could have heard Miracle you bore A refugee in the wreckage Sharpening your wings Withstanding dangerous oppression Young being, incomplete being Trying not to succumb To your own capitalist appropriation Eminent commodification Implicating your body and mind Who remained unscathed? Who wreaked the havoc? Just...so many wings could gain wind In this cage, lacking space System simply cannot withstand Cost of everyone's liberation Convenient systematic predilection Where some are never meant to fly Miracle you bore A refugee in the wreckage Sharpening your wings Withstanding dangerous oppression How can any wings soar When the trail of their shadows Hide systematic traps for our failure To ensure only a few course the skies Liberation is not meant to be Just yours or mine No commodity for private consumption Its usage, embrace, and appropriation Has universal implications A radical transformation that seeks to complete a human being Emblematic of an ideological reconceptualization A revolutionary new understanding of being human A re-authentication of our own liberation Purely predicated on that of others

Re-Authentication of Liberation
It’s about the American dream To make more than you need Through corporate greed And pyramid schemes, So I guess I’m not asleep Since I eat rice and beans In a crummy C.F. Apartment, Or what’s left of that Ten by ten compartment I can barely afford, Like the ****** Degree that was supposed To reward my hard effort By leading me toward A corner office Or something Like that I should desire, But **** it, Let’s get higher, I’m getting bored, And my heart is heavy, And I’ve been Forsaken By the country that Bred me Yet expects me To slap on some flak And attack Fathers and sons and brothers In Iraq Over nothing But ideological Fluff And political stuffing, It’s nothing It’s nothing It’s nothing It’s just not worth The time or frustration To engage in This nation’s Procreation Of condemnation Of logical reason, Though reasoning Lies not in the Eye of the reasoner Or that of the reasoned, It’s gotta be easier Than achieving Appeasement Through please And leasing Thank yous To random Strangers, But if You believe They, like you, Are human Then the danger Is fleeting, Cuz they’re feeling The same feelings, The sane feelings of The chronically Sure, The always right, Everything in its Right place, Yea I know Tommy, I must endure And try to say I should try to save The knaves, But life’s so easy As a slave, You buy your Goods And pave the way For impoverished hoods And hoodwinked Majorities Who’ve already Made The sacrifices Necessary For the necessary To get paid, Hope you did some good With that bogus bonus Mr. Suit and tie And perfect life With the plastic wife And bank account You’ll never drain, No matter how many Times you make it rain On upscale hookers, It runs too deep To keep all to your Selfish selves, But I guess it’s our Faults we don’t wear The leadership caps Cuz we should’ve pulled Ourselves up by our ******* boot straps And made something of Ourselves, right? Those that deserve To make the big bucks Make it happen, right? Time for the forgotten ***** to put up a fight.

When will the members of the human race help to make this world into a better place? Because lately it seems to be getting worse as if it is under some kind of ****** curse. Most of what we hear these days is bad news! It’s almost as if there’s nothing else to choose. The good we have all known belongs to the past and so the present or future is viewed as aghast. The actions all people do give an indication of that regardless of any good ideological debate or chat. The transition of ideas and thoughts to actions or deeds is just like the sowing of a future crop by planting seeds. If the seeds used are of a poor quality it will matter much even though more time is spent cultivating them by touch. That’s why it’s better to do things properly right from the start as time brooding over what could have been won’t help in part. -------------------------------------------------

Sitting in white shirt (Loosened yuppie Windsor knot) Armchair laughing Having realized the grand joke of life Satisfied little Sanskrit honey Is it a bohdi tree or burning bush (When really are one and same) Don't think too hard Suburban white boy dreams of trap houses With tie over shoulder As the tv says it prevents ***** on tie Little air planes Round and white Hard pressed (to explain) Make one fly at high speed Get it?

Loosened Yuppie Tie
I've experienced the exuberance of youth. Through endless summer days, of blissful childhood ignorance. I have drempt the most glorious dreams. The ability to soar with the eagles was mine, most any night. I was to live, forever. I have know the delirious intoxication, of boyish infatuation. And to such a degree, I have tasted the bitterness of rejection. I have lived amid nonconformists. I shared in their ideological beliefs. Old Guard be ****** I have witnessed the gatherings of idealists, who's main purpose was to spread their premise of the brotherhood of man. I have seen them chained and gagged. Beaten for their beliefs. Shot down in their youth, by those who's superficial dogmas kept them from the truth. I have been among the ranks of the tens of thousands, shouting my incensement's against a failing war. And I have been to the "wall" and wept for my fallen brothers.I have seen the rise of iconic performers. Some who would pay the ultimate price for their notoriety. I have felt the power of their karma and reveled in their idioms'. I have witnessed the miraculous wonder of birth. I've had the privilege to hold the embodiment of purity, God's ultimate creation, in the hollow of my arms. I have walked among the Angels. And I have delved into the pit of my own iniquity's. I have loved the un-loved, and scoffed at those who would be cherished. I have lived as if, there were no tomorrow. I have learned there is just today. I have lived to be a better man than I was. I live to be a better man than I am.

Living by ideology must be comforting. The freedom of constraint, the security of single-mindedness. It gives one a sense of position; rooted Behind battle-lines, clear division. I always thought Marxists naive, But not in the way you might think - I was impressed by the notion that the ruling classes Knew what they were doing. Subjugation is at least part of a plan. Humanism simply baffles me: One might as well believe in The primacy and potential of pigshit. Even nihilism is ideology; its comforting Sense of community: "We believe in one Nothing." Ideological blinkers preserve order By blocking out the surrounding chaos. Perhaps I should find something to cling to Before the rising tide sweeps me away. (Not poetry. I've tried that; Too unstable.)

Ideology
I’ve been looking for the dark side of the son, I’ve been trying to poke holes in what props you up, I’ve been desperate to bring your generational growth, To a stunted halt, Founding Fathers to doubt, Slave owners who colonized under god, A place ripe for ideological blows, And the collapse of what we believed before, We had a chance to see, How much isn’t known, I’ve been creeping in your crib, Under the bed with the boogie man, The sadness you feel throughout your adulthood, And the death you see after your midlife awakening, Please fear me, Growing amongst others that act like humans, Grouped amongst an idealistic species, Where they’ve preached individualistic babies, When your genesis, Exemplifies our resemblance, Beacon of truth, I will end you, How dare you dismantle me, Despite my invisibility, We will end your corruptive ways, The enemy in the corner, An American insurgency, The lack of the people’s ability, To fight for the freedoms we perceive! Erroneous burn in hell, I’ll make sure I continue to swell, Instead of letting you become the reason I fell, Revelations will become your reality if you think I’ll be exiting, You insignificant **** how dare you think I will spatter like mud, I didn’t come from violent thrusts, and a mother infected by another’s muck, I rose because of your intolerance, I am the after birth of a racist, Founding Father’s with economics, Not bothered by the ******* of another human, Not to deny the atrocities of my ancestors time, Yet we are the turning of the tide, We are the generation that will correct the rhyme, The ones that will begin the age of man’s prime, We are the flow of a barbarian bloodline, We are the evolutionary wonder that continues to surprise, Learning to compromise is not a means to survive, You fool humanity is a fire burning out, And I am the evidence of Mother’s doubt in man, A germ was your genesis And I am your omega, You insignificant residue, I will end you, We will defy you, I will smother your existences, We will overcome your dominance, Justifying my social anxieties, We need to fixate this desire, To set foot on the land for the free, To cultivate minds of humanity,

Trying to feel fulfilled Trying to be fulfilled Thinking of a to-do list seems so easy but they're always too ambitious Nothing fills Trying to clean up after myself cannot keep up with the slob I am before I storm out the house after picking up some kind of purpose from the oblivion after licking the wounds of being lost in infinity Finding a way to embrace the superficial beyond tongue-in-cheek Lost in dharma sick I don't live the truth I know in my heart Nothing here is permanent Should you chase after delusions? We consciously delude ourselves past the intellectual epiphanies where we admitted how little we know Or do you just sit and enjoy the show limit you exposure to negative experiences and chase after ones which end up positive? Even that's too ideological But how do you stand without any ground even for just a moment? God's been dead but what have you replaced him with? May is may well be what ought Because what else do we have besides what is anymore? But should our perceptions of what is become our argument for what ought? There, the shadow of a god still looms

Frontal Lobe
why does it seem as if everyone has left me? my hands quiver as i verbalize these thoughts and the sweat from my palms dampens the page -- my vulnerability has become difficult to manage, despite my mind's intent to remain good-willed and my heart's discontent with the language misunderstood friendship does not require ideological consistency, and to believe otherwise is a detriment to the love we are fortunate enough to experience in this life; intellectual supremacy equates to the patronizing rhetoric embedded within the elitism of the morally superior -- your grim clouds turn our progressivism dull i will say what i need to retain a friend, but the judgment within is a grudge untouched, a ghastly bruise that never seems to mend -- you do not get to determine the language i speak, the words i weep, or the healing i seek when a bond so potent is forgotten so easily to question my morality is to question my identity, and those who know are the ones to see me grow as i flourish from the bounds of these restrictions and inch my way upright, stronger than before, disallowing my words to be misconstrued, a prohibition of the trauma i continue to elude a Leo is loyal like the lioness of a pride, gnawing at the flesh of the ones who betray -- grudges maintained in the chill of the winter, a midnight breeze toppled an unchanged core -- it is not a star, this dim light retreating above, merely the fading memory of our platonic love.

Platonic love.
Darkness divine, walk beside me. Can we revive what we don't see? Through misty eyes, we see the lies that they disguise. Such fallacy! Obsessed with the shade of the night, Blinded by the fear of the light. Can anyone tell me oh why? Why do we pretend to not see? Everything's an illusion in the broad daylight. Confusion created by the distorted lies. Haunting us every day and every night. Truth is an ideological sacrifice. Tanay Sengupta, Copyright © 2019. All Rights Reserved.

Musings of an idiot
Half an idea entered a field disguised as a blade of grass. It faced the others and spake Have you not heard, this world it turns and as my mind burns you rest, but I’ve found a solution and if you take heed, a book at only 4.99 you can read and be redeemed. Now the grass stirred deeply in thought, for this idea, that had seemingly just appeared may bear some truithfilled bearing. Then as the winds died down the grass turned round, and said; Now you’re wrong ‘cos we’ve found it’s the sky that turns round and promptly killed him - (Using a photosynthesis based telekinetic heat-ray) Well the message in this tale could well be to follow your dreams and be all your beings, even in the fat face of adversity! ...but such a statement, truth has failed, for the moral of this gruesome twist is, more simply, if you’re an ideological catalyst; don’t talk to grass.

Budapest It’s an odd hour in Budapest, that time when one finds themselves all alone, passing vagrants who rummage through the trash, searching for scraps of whatever and possibly some salvation, I’d been drinking, which I guess is good and bad, coming fresh off of a philosophical conversation, with an ideological Kiwi, I couldn’t crush her ideological exuberance, with my aged cynicism, even if I’d wanted to, because I respected her passionate optimism too much, or not enough, either way, I was as alone now, as I was before I met her, except I felt lonelier, because we all feel lonelier, after having had the company of a friend, or a stranger, whatever, it doesn’t matter now, I’m several drinks in, and I’m back at my rooftop apartment, across from The Dohany Street Synagogue, retreating into my writing which is where I find myself now, at this odd hour in Budapest, that time when one finds themselves all alone, passing vagrants who rummage through the trash, searching for scraps of whatever and possibly some salvation… ∆ Aaron LA Lux ∆ author of The Poetry Trilogy author of The H Trilogy ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆

to idolize a segregated love against fear, that knows nothing of failure, hurt, destruction to cage evil, to make evil, by making cages and to venerate, righteously, some ideological and illogical heaven to loose sight, of the dark and be blinded, in sheer light is to forget beauty, real beauty is lost in piousness in gross over simplifications in staunch suppositions, unintelligent and heartless, some dreary mundane banality; and to lose beauty, is to lose life. without death you are dead and if there were only good there would be no good at all and truth is true by falsifiability never lose sight of the terror that waxes at beauties heart with trembling and real love, shaking for the unshakeable, and put demons in their place next to angels, bring shadows to the light, or you'll know nothing of great dreams of shifting colour and hue and shade and shine and here we are and here we are I say give me it all, I'll refuse nothing, grant me totality, hand in hand with my union- godly I am for wholeness- divided I am for the world I am a lover feel, I need to feel I am a lover sense, I need to sense I am an artist see, I need to see this reality: here, to hide nothing to hide nothing to hide nothing and see forever!

Strawberries and Cream
It is raised a corpulent Spirit, dangling it legs suggestively, over the abyss of national identity, an ideological state apparatus, BANG! Mind the gap of danger when boarding and alighting trains.

The Canonical Monster
His keyboard destroyed the sidewalk, Left ideological lines of chalk, Deciding to discover the one true song, That makes every soul smile, He travels from east to west, Talking with the worst, And the best, Doing ******* with drummers, That are due on stage, Asking them what song is a miracle? Then writing them on beer stained pages, The sumo while singing did that, He bought the beer, And they only talked in song, (they didn't know what they had said till the morning) He searched through the gutters, And every disco he was there, Asking freaks and cutters, Never finding the one song, It's been a while since he was home, How long? The haze of yesterday's drugs and memories that don't belong to him, But the search continues, He ends up learning it all, folk, techno, and blues, It was in Reno when he said the wrong words, And a man shot him, Just to watch him die, He got to see, That his dream will never be, It's not exactly the end, As time began to bend, A door that opens to, Millions of record players, In layers, by the billions, A familiar tune begins to play, The best song.
