"imposed" poems
Oh beautiful for specious lies where Christless values reign; for superficial battle cries above the muted strain: Diversity, diversity God hides His face from thee— and frown he should, while planethood distracts humanity. How sad it is when victim groups monopolize the floor; enabling the marginals to agitate for more. Diversity, diversity, Your queer agenda rules— with Balkanizing tendencies imposed on witless tools. Degenerate in decadence the ailing eagle flies; in spirals of irrelevance through clouded toxic skies… Diversity, diversity the Left defines your terms; the weakened body politic grows sicker as it squirms. Oh Lord we need a miracle before the patient fails; celestial intervention please to purge us of what ails. Diversity, diversity We shall not overcome— Unless the Lord reveal His word twixt here and Kingdom Come…

Now I ask you to join me Now you celebrate Not being me. Not being you Only Us for the great UN load! DIS arm! EN large! OUT side! Some steps I will take Be my guest Pull your anchor Out of the lake We're In the room In the building In the crowded city In the country with thousands of cities The country shares the continent with an enemy nation The two rivals are carried round and round by the Earth's endless rotation The Earth obeys the master’s magnetic line, burning since uncountable clock time The sun is blind to his insignificance too, ignoring billions of other star mates, it can’t see through Immeasurable it seems, magnifying! All of them such tiny little parts in one of Miss Milky’s arms Some light years away there they are: Pinwheel, Cartwheel, Black Eye, Andromeda and Cigar Unmeasurable it seems, humongous! All of them such a fading little part of the cosmos There you are Floating from a distance Feel the empty ground Drink from the fountain of existence Still blind to insignificance? Still convinced about the rightness of imposed beliefs? Still judging others’ defects according to our pretentious and vain mind? Still punching away the different, protecting the mold? Still reinforcing illusory antagonism and insignia? Still seeing only two sides? Still holding to the pride? Still In the ******* room Am I? Are you? Let's try it again

Ego deconstruction
The night sounds of fallen angels Building stairways back to home And the radio plays softly Like a crooner left alone As the night falls into the velvet shades And beats down the bedroom door Of all the visions that come to me It's of one I'm hoping for The postman closes up the station And the buses get cleaned with rain The asylum rests and barely breathes As the countryside goes insane Prophets speak of peace On the dim hue of TV screens Of all the moments that seem real I still wait to watch my dreams Imposed upon the westward wall Are the silhouettes of weeping oaks Swaying in the wind that talks But they only tell me jokes Swept beneath the silver stars Sleeping on blanket clouds Of all the space above me I feel as if I can't get out Headlights and passing trains Sound like time passing by Gone are the hearts inside Like the years beyond my eyes Sounds from the suburb city Blow like sirens in my mind Of all the thoughts within me Only one freezes time

Only One Of All
Too long this rot has run its course, too much the damage done When men deflect acknowledged glance, they know that wrong has won. Across this land and far afield the wrongness seeps within And pride becomes a memory through distant halls of spin. How can we bow to tyranny, how can we shy away From that which causes  eyes to slide.... and coaxes will to sway? To tolerate the bombast, the bullying, the lies Succumbing to a hopelessness, which, both we despise. Division in the nation, uproar in between A man and wife’s contention-ness beyond what should be seen Brothers loathing brothers, silence in the room Where a word  uttered wrongly can erupt to screaming soon. Allies left in tatters, trust is cut to shards Tariffs injudiciously, imposed to **** the cards. International uproar, industry in strife Teetering disastrously when NATO flees the knife. Putin sits and rubs his hands, hilarious the show Disorder and disharmony to lubricate his glow. Beijing sits inscrutably, always opportune Manoeuvring judiciously, in place, to call the tune. America, the isolate, sails away to sea Blondini, at the helm, wears smirk indulgently. M. The White House HAMILTON NZ 12th July 2018

The Trumpet Call
The Kingdom of Morocco has a rugged mountain interior which reminds me of the British meal of mince and potatoes. But hold that thought, and examine our seemingly superior Western legislation. Just like the pickle, the dynasty of death is a brazen festival percussionist who is celebratory in her bitter and gustatory inevitability. Jizyah is that taxation which is imposed upon those who fail to conform to those expected societal norms. Although we have the status quo, one cannot help but wonder what happened to the rectitudes of individuality and paradoxical equality? So, where do we go, oh navigator of the great and mighty West? Marrakech or Rabat? I have no concrete awareness of where solace is to be found. I am lost! Therefore, I can only offer the following direction: Contemplate the ever-changing intricacy of the dunes in anthropological amazement and acknowledge the sky at night. Allow the celestial pole of the North Star to speak to your deep uncertainty. Our purpose is openly displayed if we simply open our heart in the midst of our Bedouin oasis. That, my friend, is the essence of being psychosocial.

The last kiss from you Lasted like a huddle in The snow blitz Rocking my anatomy In the frosty glitz The last words from you That barged in my eardrum You were in a hurry To smell a new leaf Draped in a diamond dew The last gifts from you Was an instrument Which still I use To recognize people Or to refuse! The last time You said I love you I remember I was laughing Hysterically as if I was watching Jared Leto’s jaded mimicry of Joker in YouTube Intriguingly, when the last time I saw you **** It felt like pretty Ivanka’s embarrassment Noticing her dad is a lewd The last time I was chatting With you on Facebook I was wondering why I shouldn't hack your account? To check your inbox Yea, it was filled with the message of ******* F- Bombs, **** shaming and tagging you as harlot All they were asking was your service of escort Either in full discount or in hefty cash drops! The last time I wrote A letter of love to you I discovered my Keyboard Began to blurt out No more, No more, No more… The last time I had a chit-chat With you in the Burger King or Pizza Hut I listened to your hissing clack-clack That someone else has become your puppy cat… The last time I became sick When I was with you I heard you threw a party Where you were whispering To your besties, how I become your double whammy! The last time I was With you in the bed I felt like I was indentured To **** a dummy toy Sans spirit and flesh! Loving you was like Santa Claus gifted me With a Pandora’s Box As soon as I opened it You decided to release Our *** tape of your having ****** In pornhub’s forum of interracial! The last time I heard of you Is that you were giving an interview To The Cosmopolitan’s board of review Facing the barrage of inquisitions You calmly joked, the series Of latest uproar about you In the social media or Internet Is because certain people always Love to rave about Women’s body Shoving in and out of their pigeonhole With their one night stand queen trophy To flavor your form in their fantasmic mouth You also smirked in a raspy voice Defiantly declaring “we (women) Have been locked indoors With no air, no food, no water” My last boyfriend is also no exception He certainly thinks I came this far Through ******* and deception

Oppressive patriarchy or self-imposed victim hood- Hasan Maruf

Consumed by the constant rolls that play Developed so well, recorded so well Chasing the aroma that gently caresses the keys of the grand olfactory organs Sinking into the fibers that catch me when I’m melting They remember the tight grip that I’ve imposed on them The grip imposed on me Yet I want to sift through Entangled by the loose strands I can’t help but to make vulnerable The sway in the tongue that rolls tones so heavy Leaves me tender Such fervor unfolding itself, irritating the chests it lays on Ethanol giving shoves until the words rupture into your gaze Listening for more in hopes the shower could saturate me again Hopeful and tender, I immerse you in ego Later washing away everything that froth before our eyes Then repeating the same intoxicating copulation Until the light breaks through and I’m presented an abbreviated endearment Leaving me instilled until the next time it’s decided times can concur

Situationship or everythingship
We were interstellar travellers, children so interested in creating our infinite microcosmic civilizations, that we missed it. I saw it, briefly, once, at night. We jumped from rock to rock in the grand pond of the universe, swam between asteroid reefs and through the turbulent vents that were black holes. We lived everywhere, nowhere, all at once and for an eternity at the fringes of galaxies, and their centres (having burrowed through the thick skins of dying suns). We built, advanced, explored, warred, and coexisted. We knew everything. We thought. We knew everything, we thought. It began as a small blip, an electromagnetic pulse at the beginning of time which meta- imposed itself into the rest of time: a god, or something of the sort, it grew and shrank, and grew and shrank; a heartbeat-- life. Death. It ended as a small blip, an electromagnetic pulse at the end of time which meta- imposed itself into the rest of time: a god, or something of the sort, it grew and shrank, and grew and shrank; a heartbeat-- life. Death. From the former to the latter, it sparked creation and destruction and advancement and setback and belief and theory and one and none. I saw it, briefly, once, at night.

Beginning and End
The great dictatorship of the futon A hybrid beast not truly made for two Cover play turned treatised malice The brilliance of cold imposed on waking To find no roses just pillows between Lying nestled in inert ecstasy Singing rusty hist'ries, its a sales job For the masses Know that it will return No wit like the brain before sleep sets in No sight like a deaf dreamers providence No solution like the one no one wants To drift away and return on waking The day seems touched to find us divided A restful sleep met with a restless heart

The Great Dictatorship of the Futon
Miscommunication serendipity, anticipation, blurred reality - lost in the dialect of a dream, in pursuit of Love find callous irony; subversion of desire what's it all about? to know and be known. Mere seconds of scrutiny inferior, I am shown. Her appraisal eviscerating my warm flesh, her tilted criteria supplanting the interior, voluble with saccharine neologisms and preferences for the exterior. (not mine) Ironic was my attraction to her brain. Lines, features and symmetry, image - the commodity, aesthetics, the currency in this transaction, cursory liaison, incendiary, collapse of the insurgent ego - there was no us in the the affair of nothingness. Bruised in abasement, I'm not the one -   I thought I was. Hyperbole - the center of delusion, a curious diversion - avoid my life. The allure of the illusion, transference, the ordinary to the romantic, the perfect other. Searching, the absorbing project - aquiring wholeness, did she reject me? I rejected me. The escape into fraudulent sadness, to mourn, is to displace, the disowned heart by self is tragic.   Should I not mourn for the one I'm deferring? Inside of me It's safe, to lament the loss of identity - tension is agony without resolve sequestered, in my pain, self-imposed familiar terrain, upon retrieval, awaking in renewal, mystery and destiny providentially, I am free.

Skinny *** Poem (8/11/2014) Every kid wants to be something when they grow up. They picture perfect future families with puppies and kittens, but for me something was missing. I just wanted to be happy. Maybe my vision wasn't so great though, because 'happy' looked like it had 6 letters to me, and spelled 'skinny.' People used to throw bricks at my glass house. Shouting that I’d be skinny enough to slip through cracks. Cracks of life, cracks of struggle and strife, cracks of everything not nice. They'd tease me and say I looked like I smoked crack, when I'd lose weight, I'd gain it all back, in the form of their extra hate. But I didn't feel skinny on the inside. Although I had skinny bones and skinny skin, brittle enough to break within. Under the pain of that pang as their bricks shattered my glass house. Tell me, have you ever been afraid of words? Thoughts can be terrifying but once turned to spoken word, that in turn will turn to shouted word, that in turn will turn to incoherent nonsense. Which starts a sensation of ear drums ripping, being sawed in half immediately, no time spent ticking, by shrill shrieks and violent vocalizations. As if a sound wave could burst your body parts faster, no, more efficiently than a barrage of fists. Because it will know exactly where to strike, in fact, it will sneak through your solid surface, into every single crevice, knowing where the best place to hurt is. All it takes is a whisper strategically said in your ear, 'skinny.' 'skinny.'  'skinny.' I could feel it float away from me, carried off by the wind. As if a sound wave could carry an army of statements, piled up and armed with bayonets of every decibel level, ready and willing to siege each individual joint crack and muscle ache, being pushed under imposed stiffness. It will ooze out your pores, as if your fat face was an instrument amplifier. They thrived on the thrill listening to my shrill shriek. As I stepped on shards from my shattered glass house, And stared into the million fractures, each a broken reflection of the million me’s I could be. But none of them skinny... enough, skinny for everybody else, but never for me. I’d envision each day, blood drops staining my glass carpet. Each ounce of that luscious red, each day left my body filled with an ounce less of dread. An ounce less to fit into a size small shirt, and 30 inch waist Skinny jean. My body became my own private ****** machine. Every kid wants to be something when they grow up. I just wanted to be happy, I mean skinny.

I turned on the news tonight, and saw a familiar face Maya Angelou speaks of Nelson Mandela “His day is done, our skies are leadened.” It hit me then, Forgiveness is more than  “Oh…it’s okay…” If a man, a single freed prisoner, can change a whole country, can forgive oppression, and depression, and apartheid brutality, Forgiveness is not simple. Sorry is not simple. It’s a chance, to open the door to redemption, Entire countries have forgiven the inhumanity of the past, And yet all of us, each day, Become angry for such small matters. If nations can rebuild, If Polish person can love a German After the Holocaust, We CAN forgive. Forgiveness is the key to our self-imposed prisons.

JE ME SOUVIENS --- I REMEMBER
Among the most necessary things for the survival of intellectual constructs (such as personal rights, privileges, and information in general) is the notion of Satyagraha, as coined by Gandhi: The notion of Peaceful Non-Compliance to the ******** of your time. It is truly Compassion manifest. Civil Disobedience is a Virtue of which you will never hear in our Schools or Churches or on packages at Wal-Mart or from Politicians. Civil Disobedience is the Voice that cannot be taken until your Death. Civil Disobedience is the Music and pulse of a truly living Culture. Civil Disobedience is the respectful denial to conform to the laws imposed and policies enacted by those who are undeserving of such power, or those who abuse the power they so grandiosely wield. Civil Disobedience is necessary for the survival of a thriving popular Democracy, and thus is punished by the Authoritarians who use Democracy as a veil for Totalitarianism. Civil Disobedience is the only vote you'll ever be guaranteed in your life. It is Democracy seeking refuge in Vigilantism, It is Anarchy embodying the greater good. It is what must be done in the face of Oppression by Authority. I most sincerely and personally maintain: Civil Disobedience is a Virtue, Civil Disobedience is a Need, Civil Disobedience is a Philosophy. Civil Disobedience is Peace and Harmony in the faces of Chaos and Tyranny. Civil Disobedience; Peaceful Non-Compliance Respectful Dissent Informed Resistance. Pacifism is not for the faint of Heart. -\- *Then again, the options are few when we couldn't fight back if we needed to.*

It's sad that adulation takes their freedom, makes them hide But they're safer locked away from us They're safer locked inside Prisoners of their own success Their world's  now micro-sized Fan adulation to excess Their love is just disguised Their objects of affection Live their lives inside a bubble Leaving their prison, though it's self imposed Could bring them worlds of trouble

You were beaten and bruised, for the sinful likes of me; three nails pierced Your flesh, as You were hung… at Calvary. An unthinkable act of Love was cruelly executed for me; for You took the punishment, that had been… meant for me! With forgiveness on Your breath, You requested a pardon for those, who carried out judgment on You, as a death sentence was imposed. A spear was ****** in Your side, as Your demise was underscored; when it was mundanely removed, both blood and water had poured. [chorus] On The Cross of Calvary, Love was brokenhearted; Salvation was paid in full; Grace’s flow was started. [bridge] We don’t fully understand, God’s goodness towards us; Sin’s debt was wiped out, by the sacrifice of Jesus. We adore Him, since Christ had truly loved us first; He bore the painful brunt of payment for Sin’s curse. . . .

(song lyrics) Verse 1: Now I can’t go fishin’, ‘cuz ya’ sold my rod and reel Can’t go snow-racin’, ‘cuz ya’ sold my snowmobile And I got flaws - that’s for sure - and sometimes run amuck But the final straw that I can’t take: Ya’ sold my pickup truck Chorus: You can burn the house, shoot my dog and stomp my ol’ guitar But when you sold my pickup truck, well, Honey, ya’ went too far Verse 2: I didn’t care when ya’ bought that stuff on TV’s QVC Or ‘cause ya’ always thought of me as your private Money Tree Or catalog-orderin’ ever’thing from within ol’ Sears Roebuck But I’ll be danged if I’ll sit still since ya’ sold my pickup truck! Chorus: You can burn the house, shoot my dog and stomp my ol’ guitar But when you sold my pickup truck, well, Honey, ya’ went too far Verse 3: So I went and saw a gypsy gal, and a curse on you imposed To put sand in your chewin' gum and runners in your ***** hose And all your clothes and accessories to never, ever match And chiggers in your bed sheets - so you’ll always have to scratch! Chorus: You can burn the house, shoot my dog and stomp my ol’ guitar But when you sold my pickup truck, well, Honey, ya’ went too far Verse 4: I seen ya’ last Saturday night at Bubba’s Bar and Grill The image of you in stripes and checks remains within me still And them red chigger welts upon your nose and face Tells me that the gypsy curse is workin’ ever’ place! Chorus: You can burn the house, shoot my dog and stomp my ol’ guitar But when you sold my pickup truck, well, Honey, ya’ went too far

The question regarding the question relies on what the question really is. If the question implied is a question directed outwardly, then it may be misinterpreted as a question to oneself internally. Otherwise, a question explicitly directed inwardly is critical to deciphering the question that one will address outwardly.   If an indirect question is questioned through the user, then the question itself becomes a metaphysical question to choose from. In the event a question is said through alternate means, consider the quantitative/qualitative state of the question at the time being; as it may be resolved by asking the question in a subconscious level indeed.   Superficial means tends to seek fundamental questions to the reality of the state one naturally possesses.   In the case where the unconscious decides the opportune event to question the conscious reality, one must interpret the means in examination of the intrapersonal mentality.   If the question is imposed through correlative thought and subliminal expression, then the question itself is related to a parallel conscious state intertwined with the unconscious state of mind of progression. If the question is relative in combination to the solutions mentioned above becoming apparent, then one has means to ask the question without questioning the question itself in disparate. Otherwise, the question continues to perplex the question through the continuation of irrelevant questions that one will have thought; creating a treacherous belief so concurrent one could not have fought. Therefore, is the reality of the question portrayed to the reality you live in or the reality of others? As this poem was conclusive to subtly evoke thought in the questions we construct.

Deciphering Question

Business people live silly little lives… Walking so fast in pleated pants… Racing around self-imposed mazes… Will they have anything to say when it’s all over? Everyday spent “delivering solutions”… Neutered emotionless existences… Sitting there with that doe eyed look… Will they have anything to say when it’s all over? Driving cars and tolerating personal lives… Each and every day a pre-defined process… Anxiety, fear and caffeine distorting brains… Will they have anything to say when it’s all over?

Business People
Within each and every one of us is a unique culture: Ethnocentrism reaches just as far inward as it does outward: Just because academia has imposed it's own fascist, totalitarian, absolute definitions does not mean that it has final say: i postulate such adacemic-fetishism is merely a byproduct of propaganda pushed by Big Money rather than a genuine insitution of respectable edification: that is i see it as a mere appeal to authority; a well-known logical fallacy to those who are in the know. Tread lightly. Modern Academics seems to be yet another corrupt branch of Business; little more. Academic achievement is not equivocal to intellectual worth: a graduate's degree is moreso a status symbol than it is a credential anymore. 'T'is vile idolatry in lieu of an individual's personal philosophy; that's not to say it's absolutely worthless, but it may as well be in today's job market (unless it's a business degree!) Then again, that's just my opinion. i guess i oughtta shut up before Edu-nazis shut me down. Oops, did i type that out loud? I'm so sorry, you see, vhat i meant to say vas: Heil Stanford! Heil Harvord! Heil Berkley! Heil vhat i am told zu heil! Heil zhe publishing companies! Heil zhe holders of student loans! Heil egredious student debt in lieu of philosophical discourse, let alone progress! Heil vhat i see on TV! Heil ******* Heil alkohol! Heil gasoline! Do not qvestion zhe dogma; go back zu sleep, you sheep!

Ethnocentrism [Education]
Modern athletes, strong and buff, These days are tested soon and late just to prove their skill and strength are free of anabolic taint. Ryan Braun, the M.V.P. was tested thus occasionally. He didn't seem the type to me to boost his skills unnaturally. Thus imagine my surprise to learn the ***** he supplied contained synthetic Testosterone Brewer fans emitted groans. Now it seems he's off scot free based on a technicality. He will not have to serve the ban imposed on many a lesser man. Opening day, reserve the date; Braun will be there at the plate His many fans will come to see Ryan Braun, the M.V. ***
