"incurs" poems
I'm awake What do you want You seem confused Women like what they hear Men like what they see I never knew what that meant until I was suffering I dont believe in smiles The default non threatening condition It almost makes me queezy Us We Human beings Being human What is true humanity I don't want to love I just want your loyalty Why are you loving me What do you want You seem confused Back on that ******** We seemed to have fused I sense some resistance With a little but of cognitive dissonance What do you want You seem confused I see love as an opportunity And loyalty as a choice from above I mean your brain baby Brain banging Not just a heart throb Your mind holy like god Not the evil it incurs or not Because of your Gratitude Over Decisions Not your Ever Vengeful Illusion of Lust Loyalty loyalty loyalty Love or adore me I just want your.......

Love and Loyalty
Whispers in the dark, Colors that cry, Hallucinations that haunt your head, Inside your body a parasite crawls, Fear, It lurks inside of you, Running from no one, No one, Trembling, Scratching at the thoughts, The urges, These voices are your only friend, Let it take control, Control you lack Insanity incurs with hysteria, Schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia
No one has a monopoly on God. When you hear them say that they do, Make a dash for it! Don't wait around For them to impose their merciless coup.   No group has a monopoly on truth. Of those who say they "know" be skeptical. If their "knowledge" can't stand up to questioning, Their mind isn't more than an empty receptacle.   Terror and fear make desperate converts. Truth and wisdom transcend petty goals. Some will try to sell you a bill Of goods that's full of vagaries and holes.   Beware of those with the gift of gab Who promise to guide you down a path Of slick salvation and tempting allurements, Though one false step incurs God's wrath.   Beware of those who say they know The mind of God both inside and out And curse your attempts at inquiry When with an open mind you doubt. No one has the right to judge you And tell you that you're going to hell. Watch out for the crazed fanatic And the sanctimonious ne'r-do-well.   Put everything into perspective. Love and compassion should be your course. Belief should be all about choice And definitely not a product of force. - by Bob B

No One Has a Monopoly on God
How many hearts will die tonight from the hurt you threw around don't you care for others pain, in the darkness which cannot see ... Our fire consumed for a while it evaded our hearts and made us smile now tears well up, because I just don't know friendship is vacant for me, I cry ... Dear old man, i heard your stories more than once, tell me, yes tell me why you make me cry, your lies are building you are hate, you wrote yourself to death for a while... Because nothing ever goes as planned your cold hard heart that incurs the indignity of everyone that knows, how you are letting go your life, and love, for nothing but greed and no smile ...

Hurt To Behold
Bloodied fingers are badges of honor that few men suffer themselves to accept. Part of the debt the instrument incurs; a separation of skilled and inept. The mastery of half a dozen steel strings oft becomes a lifetime endeavor. This daring quest for musical ideals demands commitment lasting forever. A hollow body touches the essence of perfection that is merely expressed by mortal beings of inconsequence who caress the Muse nevertheless. Ten fingers endure torture on six strings for melodies only guitars can bring.

Ten Fingers
real as it is she incurs the rigours on her own in a void far removed from rationality; out of her element esoteric whims float in and out of her headspace;overruled inexplicable visions,holographs; phantoms from a past seemingly remote overshadow her mindscapes

An ode to darkness eschewing light, Why not? Her beauty, it transcends sight! Radiance reflected. Incandescent revelry. Each heartbeat supernova we can feel but never see. As faithful as true love appears, her touch incurs your deepest fears. A broken-hearted serenade... of choices better left unmade... Memories burn as touches fade. Thus, my heart, I barricade. Here! Love, not armies would invade!

Broken-Hearted Serenade
at night, alone, it seems my heart is ripping at its seams torn by sunset's pull, reaching out, for naught, it seems my heart is ripping at its seams the threads so caref'lly stitched, tightly gripping my blood-bag's crease waiting just for cruel fate's bite or when the day turns into night seeking, almost, to be forgotten, lying, torn, only to turn rotten inside me still, my heartstrings scream whilst from their barren cage, pours steam at daybreak, then, my heart is mended as though the night's events were pretended i know now how the blood can flow and disregard what i think i know my mind is clear, but it seems for naught as again i feel the blood begin to clot slowing, beating, struggling to rest my eyes turn red as the sun sets with the star at noon i feel relief the moon incurs agony, doubt, and grief at night, the dark, alone it seems the ripping seams, it seems… are only in my dreams

October
She sits in the crevice of her untouchable throne A bathtub of fizz The place she goes to be alone As the bubbles coat her flesh, and pop on her throat With a sensation of which I will never know But oh how I long to be the one who sees her there It's my one true wish As she twists her fingers through her luxurious hair And blows foam with a jet stream of air through her lips I want nothing more than to be a fly on the wall Of the room that surrounds her most intimate moments If only I could hear her sing a beautiful song When she thinks there's nobody around to take notice I'll treasure it all And bury it deep inside me A sentimental chest of unobtainable gold The toll one pays for a life of tragedy The price one incurs from being alone

The Toll
A million monarchs lie dead, though, No less sociological programming of Upper-middle to rich classes with Decadence, affluence, inclusion, is. No less societal determination of Middle to lower, being excluded by Division and conquering, privation. Yet, they, on wing no more, still fly In our spirit's eye, heal humanities' heart. While their silent cry echoes The 33,000 species extinct each year, A rate not seen since the last ice age Ensued; does it move you? Does your curiosity ask why? Will you, on this 33rd Earth Day, allow A tear for all life's fallen? Consider The losses economic apartheid incurs, Mirrored by the divide humancentricity Has levied? Our underlying duplicitous Disregard for life, greed and oil fueled, Won't abate for our existence, will you?

C'est La Unvie
This one is for the bullies. This one is for the cruel. Try harder. Because these walls were made with the intent of keeping you out and instead kept out the rescue party. Too many are the tears which we have shed over being too fat or too thin or any other of these thousands of things within us that define us as imperfect. This one is for those that kicked us while we were down, for the class clown addicted to our embarrasment, to the flicked pencil that hits our back as we pass them. If you've ever felt scorn, if you've ever felt torn between the greatest two evils, if you've ever as a kid felt that primeval urge of fight or flight or spent a night crying over your bathroom sink, It's okay. I'm not saying that as if I could ever make you feel as if that pain living inside of you will abstain from your mind. I'm saying that you aren't alone. Simply let it be known how you feel and you will real impressed by how many others have felt the same. This is one is for the playground bruiser, try harder. This is for the girl writing 'slut' on her locker, try harder. This is for those that will always insist on testing the waters of an uncalm mind, TRY HARDER. Because it's never been an issue of being smarter or stronger. It's been about you holding on this extra while longer, long enough that you can put all this behind you. For all the gossips who acted like they knew you, try harder! Because this time they are not getting through. Concede to them nothing, abandon no friend or creed, let not their need for acceptance give lead to your self-loathing. Remember, it is not your clothing or your skin that incurs their hate, do not lock your gate to those who would help you. The shallow brook runs the loudest, the wounded dignitary the proudest and so long as we allow them to hurt us they'll believe they can get away with it. We are many, united in the trials through which we have grown. Let us stand together now and not any among us stand alone.

Of fame or life, Which do you hold dearer? Of life or wealth, To which would you adhere? Keep life and lose those other things; Keep them and lose your life? Which brings Sorrow and pain more near? Men come forth and live; they enter (again) and die! Thus we may see, Who cleaves to fame- Rejects what is more great; Who loves large stores… Gives up the richer state. Who is content Needs fear no shame. Who knows to stop Incurs no blame. From danger free Long live shall he…. Who thinks his great achievements poor Shall find his vigor long endure. Of greatest fullness, deemed a void, Exhaustion ne'er shall stem the tide. Do thou what's straight still crooked deem; Thy greatest art still stupid seem, And eloquence-a stammering scream…. Muhumuza Kenneth Ezra.

Fame or Life..?
It's a place where you would rather not be engaged in a quarrel and unable to agree. Between two strangers or with one you know in a display of words disagreement to show. A sad state of affairs and opposite of harmony usually about something they did not foresee. Ending with both parties not seeing eye to eye and very often it's without a clear reason why. It could be one taking more and giving back less to the other who considers the matter in distress. Or perhaps ignoring to do what should be done in our duty to one another that incurs a bad run. If a lack of trust or deception has been at play there are suspicions that don't easily go away. 'Honesty's the best policy' known and cherished without this relationships only end up perished. Especially when there are two interests at stake one against the other much trouble they'll make. Keep away from being at loggerheads if you can as it may end up in a fight with your fellow man. _______________

At Loggerheads
I’d like to tell a tale so grim, Don’t pray for hope, mere foolish whim, “Beware to all who enter here, The trees themselves can sense your fear” A place where ghouls and goblins wait, For lonely travellers to seal their fate, A place where hope has long since gone, And eternal darkness lingers on. I would not suggest you stop and rest, March on my friend, I think that’s best, Danger hides in every tree, You doubt my word, just wait and see. An unearthly stench wafts through this wood, The demons sense your rich warm blood, I urge you not to pitch your tent, Heed my warning, it is well meant. No sweet spring blooms will greet your path, Anything of beauty incurs such wrath, No sound of birds to fill the air, A joyous song, they would not dare. There is no sun, nor gentle breeze, You won’t find safety among these trees, The air is still, the air is calm, With creatures here to cause you harm. You feel the cold, your icy breath, As in your footsteps follows death, He’ll strike you down without a thought, Tread carefully, this path has dangers fraught. These woods are thick, their area vast, Travellers stare, afraid, aghast, But do not stop, no do not dwell, For this could be a living hell. The creatures here have but one goal, They want to claim your very soul, To bring an end to your miserable days, They’re able to do this in a myriad of ways. So heed both my warning and the sign, Turn back from here while you have the time, The reason they call it the Weeping Wood? No weep of willow, but travellers’ blood.

But life is just a fancy phase A seed that's from the start is sown. A life that every one can own A part that every one must face. Its' ups and downs is but a way, Of telling you what world you make If it was true or was it fake, It makes your destiny that you sway. For life is but an irony It teaches you what's in your past. For you can learn or you can just Ignore it from all your memory. Yet life is just a passing dream, But somehow it will end and soon Its' end could always be a boon Or it could only be a scheme. And yet as death do so enfold Relief does come as it occurs. For in the end it just incurs To be of fame or just untold. Yet death is just a simple thief That lurks behind in every life, And strikes unknowest in its strife No matter what was your belief. So now I wish this life to mend Thus I could rest and be so blessed. To stop a life I have possessed And so at last this life would end.

STILL ANOTHER SONG FROM MY UNCLE FRANCIS: LIFE
Here I stand. My mortal soul naked and imperfect My weathered hand stained with the guilt of a human life. I have nothing. Nothing to my name but the worth of my words. I offer you not the stars or the moon. Not a passion that incurs fame, Not stability, nor safety. I offer you the colour and whirlwind of my soul. In all its grotesque beauty, In all its untamed rhythm. Here I stand. A vulnerable creature A plagued creature. I have nothing. Nothing but the warmth of my soul.

I've finally realized my worst nightmare. All it took was reading something that was always there hidden in the recesses of someone else's mind, written down for yours and mine to process and enjoy, relate to then forget as we continue down the rabbit hole of online. But this story, this time, seemed to stick. I've met my greatest fear, the panic it incurs. The breathlessness. The blurriness. The helplessness. merely from the though of it... to forget

To forget
Every lie incurs a debt to the truth, Oppression runs down the cheeks of our children, For what is greatness when built on the foundations of weakness, What is progress when it’s cost is greater than its accomplishments, Every domino accelerates the damage, Voices are silenced, Honesty gets mistaken for betrayal, The sacrifice of one can save the lives of the many, But are you willing to be that one, To leave a grieving wife, For your children to grow up fatherless, The sacrifice of the one - is a sacrifice of many, What is the blind perseverance to never admit mistakes, It doesn’t show strength or determination, Only arrogant denial at the cost of a nation, And even when the castles crumble, And their walls lay waste in the seas of time, Even then those responsible take no responsibility, Even then the red blood of the innocent stains the steps of their red sanctuary, Even then the world looks on in wonder, What is this lunacy we call law and order, When the orders are given by those that create the law. I apologise for the daily desecration of my people, I look on in hope that a brighter day will come, And I pray that somewhere there is a justice, For all of this.

Rock is cause, and effect! An amusing traveler answered with a smile. Letting out a chuckle, I asked how so? Reaching his hand for a rock from the street, He rolled, it stopped after a moment. He looked at me in the eyes, then walked away. It was then, I understood. Exerting force upon it, causes it to roll. Where it lands, is effects… Sowing a seed incurs cause. Returning next summer, a sprout took its place. ⁠— this is effect.

What is a rock? (I)
A Crown of Thorns worn to bed, Woe betide the swollen head, ****** is he who  knows it all For entitlement’s no birthright call. Hangs like cloak of stone cement Endowing wearer nothing spent Entombing wearer, largely, doomed Expectations now entombed Few measure up to mark of man Most spread the wings to seek the span Encompass more than ever thought But expensive shortfalls cheaply bought. Out of limelight into shade, Entitled shroud is richly flayed With overtures of self- import, Obsequiously seen, as sport… By other pigs who seek the Crown Intent on tearing your realm down. For jealousy incurs an ire Against you, who dares conspire, Entitlement as rightful claim And all within, your ****** domain. Oh the fires of  jealousy Burn bright with searing heat And the pangs of hate come bubbling forth On cloven, reptile feet, And what was once was pure and good Is now, then, dark as sin And the Gods of Mars and Neptune Both, with war, come barreling in. For human nature simmers, hot, Despite restraint’s cold hand All preconception, caste aside Who stays the battle plan….??? What works, though quite irrational, Is the quiet word of She Who has determined that this impasse Serves no man’s sanity And on threat of dire withholding Of Country Matters near, Extracted,  a mute fury, But a truce, without a tear. There was laughter in the ale house Relief in the stall, Where the horses fed on ignorance But some men knew it all. They all played their cards so quietly With realizations calming stand When Entitlement yelled, "an early night" And cashed in his winning hand. M. February 3 2021 Taranaki NZ
