"implications" poems
Municipal Gum was written by Oodjeroo Noonecaal. Municipal Gum is about the changes in society and the tendency of people to want to control everything. Oodjeroo uses various techniques to convey this idea. At the beginning of the poem Oodjeroo is addressing the tree. This immediately creates empathy for both the tree and her people. By the last line she has emphasised this with the pronoun “us” to show that they suffer a similar fate. This poem expresses how life in Australia has changes especially for Aboriginal people. In the first half of the poem Oodjeroo is talking about how life was for her and others. It explores the changes in society and the displacement of the Aboriginal people from their land. “Whose head hung…Its hopelessness”, the author uses this as further re-iteration of the immorality of the situation and by the use of analogy comparing the tree to her people to further emphasise the shame and lack control of that the Europeans have inflicted upon her and the environment. Oodjeroo uses extended metaphor technique in the very first line of the poem ‘Hard bitumen around your feet’. This means that the gumtree has been placed in the city scape where it is suppressed and not allowed to spread out and be unique in its own way. This is clear and immanently direct link to the pain and suffering endured by the Aborigines post European settlement. Oodjeroo uses vivid language to present these ideas. For example the use of the word castrated is very effective. The connotation of the word is very demeaning. With castration often comes a sense of a loss of pride and power. The word castration is symbolic of how Oodjeroo feels the European have treated Aboriginal people and the environment. Castration also refers to the fact that what is done is done. Nothing can undo what they did and the damaged they have caused. Other symbolism includes the title “Municipal Gum”, municipal meaning community, implies that the gumtree belongs to the community. One of the vast differences between European and Aboriginal law is that Aboriginal people did not believe in the ownership of land or of animals and plants. Municipal Gum is a reference to the Europeans assumptions that everything is theirs to own and control. The rhetorical question, “O fellow citizen, What have they done to us?” is the conclusion of the implications that have been made throughout the poem. Oodjeroo, is advocating for her people and all things wronged by the controlling behaviour of the Europeans. Rhetorical questions are used to provoke thought and to stimulate a pre-determined response. “What have they done to us?” They have “castrated, broken… strapped and buckled” and ultimately changed things to a point that they cannot be fixed. In conclusion, Municipal Gum is a poem about the constrictions and change that the European invaders forced upon the Aboriginal community and the environment she believes that the Europeans have deemed themselves ever powerful and practice their power in a manner that is immoral.

If there was one word One word, isolated by itself That I cannot stand above all others It would have to be "Okay" I despise "Okay" "Okay" Is how your millionth day at work went "Okay" Is off-brand raisin bran "Okay" Is how you say life is going When you don't want to admit you spend Every second of it Wanting to die "Okay" Is packed to the brim with Hidden implications Like a treasure chest Filled with bottles With little subliminal hatreds Written on tiny slips of paper Passively aggressively pushed inside To discover later As I pull out a treasure map And try to decipher Where I went wrong "Okay" Is a one word dismissal That feels like an essay a thousand pages long "Okay" Is a poison dripping with disinterest When I dared to share with you Something I thought might make you smile "Okay" Is like trying to talk to a wall While watching the paint on it dry "Okay" Takes two seconds to write Yet I waited days For that dreaded word To grace my notifications "Okay" Should be used sparingly As if each time you send it You **** the receiver just a little bit "Okay" Should not be said so often that I know what you're about to say Like I saw it in a crystal ball "Okay" Is not looking up from your phone When I tell you about my day "Okay" Is not the proper response To "I love you" They say that the opposite of love isn't hatred It's indifference And I can't think of a response More indifferent to pouring out My heart into your hands Than "Okay" At least the last thing you said to me Before we parted ways Showed that you cared At least a little bit "I hate you" Stung less Than the thousands of times Over our countless conversations You responded "Okay" Okay?

I'm a little disturbed by the implications of dreamcatchers in cars. Are we that prone to fall asleep behind the wheel? Are we that scared of our nightmares? If life is a dream does a person who dies near a dreamcatcher get caught, a fly in a web, in the dreamcatcher and wait to be devoured by the nightmares inside.

The power of Averages, it means a lot if you can understand Means, a lot. Assuming a Normal Distribution, A Standard Deviation, or σ defines where about 68% of the data falls; roughly 34% above and below the Mean. Two Standard Deviations defines where a further 28% of data lies; 14% above and below 1σ and -1σ. Positive 1-Sigma is one Standard Deviation above the Mean Negative 1-Sigma is one below; The range from -2σ to 2σ includes  96% of data. The implications are astounding. Within 3 Standard Deviations, one finds 99.7% of the data; Within 4σ, 99.9%, 5σ, 99.999%, the remainder are generally outliers and other improbable results. To illustrate: Suppose we had a group of 100 people, and we wish to determine average height: If our Mean height ends up being, say, 180 cm, with a Standard Deviation of 20cm, We can suppose that of 100 people, on average, with a certain Margin of Error that is inversely proportionate to our Sample Size, or n (for sake of argument, the Probable Error, or γ, is 13.49cm) 4 are taller than 220cm 14 are between 200cm and 220cm 68 are between 160cm and 200cm 14 are from 140cm to 160cm 4 are shorter than 140cm -- Statistics is the parent of Probability; Statistics is the Art and Science of Forecast, Statistics paves the way for modern Science Statistics is a powerful weapon in the fight against Ignorance Statistics, however, are generally and intentionally misrepresented and thus misunderstood. For increasingly accurate figures, one must have a larger Sample Size and a Sample group that is a representative subgroup of the Whole *This is intentionally abused by most of the News you read or see each day on Paper and Screens alike.* If a "Statistical analysis" does not include at least Margin of Error or Probable Error, Mean (Average), Standard Deviation, and Sample Size do not take it as accurate. Depending on the source, it could even be deliberately malicious. Arm yourself with Knowledge.

Before I looked forward, I looked at the sky I looked at birds whose numbers will die I looked at the plane threatened with tragedy I observed the moon conquered by humanity Before I looked forward, I looked to my right I looked at the gas stations that filled me with fright I saw the grass littered with trash I looked at the stores begging for cash And before I looked forward, I looked to the ground I looked at the bubblegum blackened and browned I saw the asphalt crumbling fast I looked at the coal which once was vast So before I looked forward, I looked right behind I looked at the coal burnt sky drifting high I saw the foundations of our nations I looked at the people ignoring the implications Then I looked up, and I looked straight forward I looked for an end to all our horrors I saw that soon it would all be done And I looked forward, and I saw the sun.

My smooth vermin, you inspire me to write. How I hate the way you infest, Invading my mind day and through the night, Always dreaming about the wicked rest. Let me compare you to a contender? You are more ugly and more disgusting. Hot frost nips the robins of December, And wintertime has the shocking busting. How do I hate you? Let me count the ways. I hate your intriguing infestations. Thinking of your many legs fills my days. My hate for you is the implications. Now I must away with a loathsome heart, Remember my fast words whilst we're apart.

Ode to the Vermin
Puissant piquant and predatory And observant from afar He looks down on your slumber Like a door that's left ajar Plying with his manly vice A reckless male visage A rogue of masculine device Seeks entrance to your mind He saunters with a swagger A macho savvy moxie To personify virility's incarnate His dream zone's metier He sifts your ****** entourage In search of sprawls recumbence To tantalize climactic fervor With lambent photic scenes Grasping at your revelries He spies the wanton lust With swanky strut appealing Your primal urge to sate He leaves undone resistance With innate resilience seized The lavish wayward implications Of unrequited livid deeds Like passion's lurid lecheries An insatiable torrid sooth You wrestle with his adamance Your  carnal ecstasies revealed You pounce on his exsertion You splay your agile form wriggling like a supple nymph You accept his blatant storm You writhe in your abandon In a euphoric supplication His machismo ****** enveloping Your wildest latent needs With no regrets or reticence you awaken from this dream To find yourself alone again Like it had never been

What are fingertips but pulses and pauses? A spinal sigh---a cradle to all existence? The punchline of all sensory implications, the culmination of our tangles and departures? All flesh is ephemeral, soft to shards in hours; Touch is but a ****** tendril in memoriam for desire.

Dealing so much with figurative language, I cannot help but notice how many people restrict themselves to either Mythos or Logos. Myth or Logic. Symbol or Reason. Yin or Yang. Firefox, by default, doesn't even recognize that Mythos is a word: Mythos- The aspect of the mind concerning itself with the figurative, the abstract; implications, symbolism and interpretation. Passive. 'Relative'.  Yin. Logos - The aspect of the mind concerning itself with reason, proof, tangibility and fact. Active. 'Absolute'. Yang. It is of utmost importance to take both with a grain of salt. It is of equal importance to ponder both for what they are worth. Mythos seeks not to always be correct; but to make one think what is right and true within one's self. Logos seeks to be accurate. To describe, define, calculate, forecast, and replicate the physical.   Most are biased towards one and away from the other; it is impossible to have a balanced existence if you embrace one and deny the other: If one fails to respect duality, duality will tear one in twain. The path to salvation is comprised of both of these styles of thought: To seek only one is to condemn oneself to Autosegragationistic Social Darwinianism.

childhoods are forgotten mere bonds simply left to rot bewildered and betrothed to the very idea of a more golden sun and glistening moon but not all the planets in the solar system are close and are in fact very far away words are to mean nothing nothing left with the wind blown away good bye! adieu! I shall miss my friend! and where is the blossom whom I met so long ago on Mars on Jupiter the promiscuity of proximity reminiscing within the shallow walls of the cave that drips drips drips to the past and history becomes bloated with subjectivity and a sepia undertone so how can we see what went wrong? how can we learn the implications of each movement made by our lips fingers each deep breath that coincides with the galaxy underneath a waning moon

not the milk, you see, is too sweet, thick, which will rhyme if i write, for me. thick like the wool that filled breaches in the wall, saved the lives. save some with shelter, needing shelter, while others lean to watch the birds fly, talk of the bell tower, and all the implications. the man parked his car, tidily went to poundland, bought cards. sbm. *notes verb verb: condense; 3rd person present: condenses; past tense: condensed; past participle: condensed; gerund or present participle: condensing 1. make (something) denser or more concentrated.

Today I woke and had already let some things go. It was a day of nothing, and It filled me with it. I walked through the park and stopped on a bench to roll myself a quiet cigarette. I looked at the life in the pond and pondered the implications.  I thought: " There has to be a poem in here somewhere"

Quiet Morning
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
"Turn back the pages of history, and see the men who have shaped the destiny of the world. Security was never theirs, but they lived rather than existed," said Hunter S. Thompson at age 17, before he became The Duke, and shaved off a leg in Doonsbury cartoons, before he rapped the sharp corner of his shot glass, so too many times, on the inch thick enamel, of the Woody Creek Tavern bar top, and waited until closing time to begin blowing lines, out of the divets he'd made. The people clapping, the moon attacking, the red bone blood of America pumping past his eyes. After he died, everyone there had a Hunter story: Hunter shot his hot girl assistant in the *** by mistake, but he felt like **** about it. Hunter had a dozen red cheeked lasses he skied with, but he never messed with them. Hunter showed up in a Cadillac convertible packed with strippers dressed burlesque. But it was hard to tell just exactly what he was up to with the strippers, the peacocks, or anything else. Alot of the stories had ****** implications, but what they mostly implied was he was cool about it. He didn't write any of those stories. Despite all evidence to the contrary he liked his privacy, and what peace he found in rare quiet. And he made **** sure they'd shoot his ashes out of a ******* canon when he died. The canon is still there. So are the peacocks.

Ode to Hunter Thompson, and All Those Who Died Trying
By: Cedric McClester In a world That’s so politically correct What are we to call ‘em Thugs -  or criminal suspects Perhaps it’s something else That we should project Maybe our language Needs to be checked Must urban youth Be marginalized As a result of their misdeeds Or can we recognize That they have certain needs They haven’t realized We read the news feeds And then we demonize Is it a riot Or an insurrection Maybe it requires Some more introspection Before we decide It’s their predilection Because the evidence Leads us in that direction I don’t know Who it was that stated What poverty often does Is underrated And victims of poverty Are often hated Though the larger implications Are complicated © Copyright 2015, Cedric McClester.  All rights reserved.

To love the man And love the woman I find it so frustrating we are not all like this Why do we deny our feelings Why do you hide as straight I often don't know the orientation of the person I am speaking with And why does it matter What implications does it have anyway Am I ****** for loving For caring and caressing For confiding and subsiding I feel no restraint I feel no need to hide I am open and proud of who I am Bisexual

Mam, from the September following Child’s 5th birthday I no longer consider you fit to raise him. For six hours a day, five-days-a-week-term-time-only Teacher can help. Unfortunately Teacher takes time off. She needs a break from your little monster- so during the holiday she gives Child back. Try not to undo the good work that’s been done. (…Won’t you?…) If you want to bother Teacher with (daft) questions go ahead. She’ll rearrange her face into a listening position- And respond with jargon designed to make you feel thick. Concerns? Child often exaggerates. O, I see. 2 adults, 30 children and a bundle of paperwork? She’s qualified. You’re not. (…are you? Thought not. And you don’t live in Big House or sound T’s and H’s… So where were we?…) Nightmares? Bruises? Cuts, scrapes, a black-eye? Low self esteem? (…so you’re a psychologist now?…) Child cries? Is unhappy in class? His fault. Or yours! Don’t worry. Teacher keeps her eyes open for signs of trouble at home. Child skips school? Down to you. (…There will be various consequences, of course. And implications……c-o-n…s-e-qu-e…nce-s…,….i-m-p…l-i-c…a-t…i-on-s… It’s been made clear already: You’re not fit to raise him…) Pressured? Bored? Judged and ignored? Humiliated? Belittled? Frustrated? It will lead to what, exactly? O, when he leaves School! For just a moment there I was worried. No, no. Not a problem. Not a problem at all. Maybe he’ll run with a bad crowd, break a few laws, end up in the gutter? Yes. Maybe. But it’s out of my hands.

Fog Happens Yup. Not profound, even Jung, Kant and Freud, wouldn’t deny their eyes, would no doubt disagree with symbolic, philosophical implications, and the head banging ramifications for the immediacy of the spiritual impact while driving in this grey **** Fog differs every time, and on an island, that’s for **** sure. Today’s incarnation, the fog comes over the water, but respects the man-made, timbered, bulkhead, so the yard, with its circus of ravens, crows, and other invisible birds, insects, rabbits, is visible, but absent the inhabitants who are smarter-than-humans, they remain aboded thinking, only stupid humans believe they can navigate and forage, in a fog penetrating in air that is 97% humidity and 100% peas soup thick skinned. The time? Of course. It’s 7:36 AM on the East Coast, and beyond the lawn lies a brackish bay that will lead you to the Atlantic and north to the Titanic, direction Newfoundland. Not enough info to geo tag me, but those who know me, knowledgeable in my early mornings  scribblings, know my whereabouts, my telephone number. Do you? Fog Happens to everyone and at random intervals, Nope.

Fog Happens
Fog Happens Yup. Not profound, even Jung, Kant and Freud, wouldn’t deny their eyes, would no doubt disagree with symbolic, philosophical implications, and the head banging ramifications for the immediacy of the spiritual impact while driving in this grey **** Fog differs every time, and on an island, that’s for **** sure. Today’s incarnation, the fog comes over the water, but respects the man-made, timbered, bulkhead, so the yard, with its circus of ravens, crows, and other invisible birds, insects, rabbits, is visible, but absent the inhabitants who are smarter-than-humans, they remain aboded thinking, only stupid humans believe they can navigate and forage, in a fog penetrating in air that is 97% humidity and 100% peas soup thick skinned. The time? Of course. It’s 7:36 AM on the East Coast, and beyond the lawn lies a brackish bay that will lead you to the Atlantic and north to the Titanic, direction Newfoundland. Not enough info to geo tag me, but those who know me, knowledgeable in my early mornings  scribblings, know my whereabouts, my telephone number. Do you? Fog Happens to everyone and at random intervals, Nope. Not thinking of the brain clouds of ordinary Lethologica  and Lethonomia. (Sunday lazy so just look it up and say out loud, gotta remember them words and laugh out loud cause you ain’t gotta a prayer.) Fog Happens in the heart, spreading north to the consciousness, and the lethargy of movement impeded by the lighthouse bells tolling “danger is about,” our light stolen, but you need to know, you’re perilously close to danger.

my writing has turned to **** since i started going to therapy
A choice along one direction leads to consequential choices based on quasi-essential needs. And countless more directions; some more pointless than they seem. Each with unique-essential implications; all random in their themes. And when faced with new directions, we all enjoy equating means. There are sub-directions and sudden choices; some with supplicatory pleas. Yes, implication's long duration is an invisible machine. A meta-physical motivation to a person and their genes. Personally, my own choices corresponded to these unlimited extremes. To these tiny little time-transporters that fit us into teams. And I thought I'd reached a choice; was on its corresponding way. I followed down its passageways and subdomains for consequential days. And from the way that we all network, I have come to the belief that our decisions implicate the parts that aggregate beneath. Yes, every person has these combinations aggregate throughout their lives. And by the afore-mentioned complications, They (eventually) divide to warring sides. On one side is destruction; On the other, love resides. If you make the wrong decision then these forces, they collide. To catastrophic implications and such damage done inside. But if you're able to pause for just a moment and hold them side-by-side. You will find the sort of peace that only finds those who have died. And suddenly life becomes so simple; no more chances need be applied. Just one choice and two directions Lie in front of your own eyes. You feel quite amazing in proportion to this fantastic new sensation. As one choice takes you to destruction; the other leads you to salvation. It's the truest self-realization and it's there for you to take it. There's a chance of your damnation... but, see, only you can make it.
