I wonder, If the sunrise ever looks down on our inhabitants, And holds it's breathe as the beauty of life overwhelms even that of the sky

Sunrise
Touch it: it won't shrink like an eyeball, This egg-shaped bailiwick, clear as a tear. Here's yesterday, last year --- Palm-spear and lily distinct as flora in the vast Windless threadwork of a tapestry. Flick the glass with your fingernail: It will ping like a Chinese chime in the slightest air stir Though nobody in there looks up or bothers to answer. The inhabitants are light as cork, Every one of them permanently busy. At their feet, the sea waves bow in single file. Never trespassing in bad temper: Stalling in midair, Short-reined, pawing like paradeground horses. Overhead, the clouds sit tasseled and fancy As Victorian cushions. This family Of valentine faces might please a collector: They ring true, like good china. Elsewhere the landscape is more frank. The light falls without letup, blindingly. A woman is dragging her shadow in a circle About a bald hospital saucer. It resembles the moon, or a sheet of blank paper And appears to have suffered a sort of private blitzkrieg. She lives quietly With no attachments, like a foetus in a bottle, The obsolete house, the sea, flattened to a picture She has one too many dimensions to enter. Grief and anger, exorcised, Leave her alone now. The future is a grey seagull Tattling in its cat-voice of departure. Age and terror, like nurses, attend her, And a drowned man, complaining of the great cold, Crawls up out of the sea.

Kashmir Delirium Oh People Of Earth! Thankful are we, For each act of benevolence shown to us. Your gilded sweet words describing, The beauty of Kasmir, land and people. Mention in books and talks of it's riches, Naming it the Sweet Paradise Of Earth. The Lord has been bountiful to Kashmir, Treasure of resources in every sphere. To elevate each aspect, our wish for life, As every acre of this land is worth millions. Full of treasures and recreational value, Forestry with grandeur and silvery rivers. The outside world's view is so limited, Simple folks living in the lap of rich bounty. Mentioned in world forums and organizations, But what of the goal of giving us freedom? What has The UN established in our name? To measure the pain and anguish we bear, At the hands, of our supposed benefactors. The saviours who has us fractured. But in reality they train their enforcers, In the art of creating oceans of tears. The red blood now hidden in camouflage, The spent shells now gathered and hidden. The leaders we are told to elect in electoral shams, Run publicity kiosks and swell friend lists. Joint conferences to address personal interests Dialogues that never address the root issues. Just the formalities and no sympathy, For the ones burnt in cruel sadistic reprisals. The hypocrisy continues deliriously unabated, More augmentation of the security forces. For a first hand view of deep hypocrisy, Walk this land, you know as beautiful. Religious leaders will teach you political artistry, Sermons full of ambiguity and guile. Waywardness and narrow mindedness on display, Political apologists give great lessons. Religion and religious ethnicity are tools, That keep minds and bodies in total check. Gamesmanship by leaders is the rule of thumb, As promises are forgotten once office is obtained. When writing of this succulent beautiful land, Write of the air, pregnant with sadistic practices. This land is being stripped of worldly treasures, And the greatest treasure is mistreated daily. The best of nation is the inhabitants, Ignored are the real gems of this beautiful paradise.

One early morning along the quiet forest floor, a little mushroom popped it's head out of the ground. Looking in wonder, he pushed passed the dead leaves and dirt to reach for sunlight below the canopy. "STOP!" said the forest. "You have been unruly. We have seen you try to grow with discord and disregard, denying the order. And what are you, alien? Identify as plant or animal!" The little mushroom responded, "But I only did as you did; made a home. Like the rooted trees pillar in our leafy halls, as the moss nestles among the rocks, or how the birds nest in their hollows, why am I so different? I am both you and me." The forest inhabitants pondered. In this time the mushroom grew and died. It took too long for the trees and the birds and the moss to agree by the time their fellow forest friend had passed. The trees, too slow to interrupt, cried out to all, "What have we done?!  we may not have thought him as beautiful as the rest of us, but the mushroom was a part of this forest!" As a parting token, the little fungi grew a network of strands below the trees roots to support them all, feeding and protecting them even in death. With it's dying breath, it dropped it's spores, to which would grow bountiful among the forest floor, among the trees and the rocks and moss. They had not known it, but the little mushroom was a part of a greater fungi, miles across. It had been there as long as the forest, keeping the trees company since time began, before humans, before us. Only the trees had the knowledge to understand the little mushroom, but their voices were too quiet, too slow. So the trees let the mushrooms grow in their branches and on their logs to give them a home.

A Fungi In The Forest Of Normal (Short Story)
One early morning along the quiet forest floor, a little mushroom popped it's head out of the ground.

Kashmir is not just beautiful It was also free of violence, Not too far back in history, That did occur just 7 to 8 centuries ago. Then they poured out of Central Asia, Hordes getting bigger with each wave, Eliminate they did the original people. In 1320, it was Zulju raiding Kashmir, Then Rinchana, a Tibetan Büđđhïst refugee, he took over. Rinchana had Shah Mir as his Minister, Shah Mir persuaded Rinchana to Islam. After Rinchana, his son was set to be the ruler, However, Shah Mir killed this lawful successor. In 1339, Shah Mir became the first Muslim ruler of Kashmiri lands, Initially, they did not dare harm the original Hïnđū inhabitants. Then it was just Muslim kings for few centuries and slowly the Hïnđū heaven slipped into Muslim hands. Now we know what is the ground reality, The demography became Islamized over centuries, All arts and crafts stand dwarfed by violence, What they aim is an Islamic State, an Islamic Earth.

Cutting through the darkness with a blade burning in an ominous yet in scarlet reddish tone, roaring as if it had the strengh of thunder. The wielder in pure fury, swinging, swaying it around to pierce through the sinning gaze of the inhabitants of that place. It is a true blade of banishment, viscious, without mercy or kindness, raging evermore in an unending, continous rampage, gaining stengh. Of course, one wouldn't expect any mercy but purgatory on this cruel and also blood drenched battlefield in which only sorrow is reaped. But whereabouts of the heart already have been burnt away, As the warped moon embraces the shadows of the fools, The end had been brought near on that day which mortals fear, Heat being spread with each slash, likely to set the soil ablaze, Thus is the strengh of a sword which holds in a world of nightmares, likely to never desired to be ever seen before ~ Umi

Over protective parents are the enemy of the free wanting child who only wants to run and explore everything the world and its inhabitants have to offer. I am the Maro Roth Spigelman of Mandeville, Louisiana. As much as i do love this place, i want out. But see, people and places are two different things to me. One, i always want to go and explore and come back eventually and find somewhere i dont want to leaveforever; the other i want to find and keep with me physically and mentallyand in my heart and to have travel and run with me and love me for my little things and spontaneous attitude and want for adventure. i want someone to love me as much as i love the world.

Travel
I remembered you, you remembered me, I believed in you, You believed in me, We were both sea creatures traveling uncommon seas. We had taken to that unconscious ocean to see in the sea, What we could see. It's been a strange journey of that there is no doubt. Where everyone walks with their insides in, We travel these seas with our insides out, We don't know any other way to be when you're swimming through these uncommon seas. It's often a desert out there, But inside here all kinds of musty characters drudged up from anxious memory inhabitants of this sea - Sponge Bob Square Pants has nothing on you or me, We are all travelers in this uncommon sea. Our bathing suits left far behind, the temperature sometimes too hot too cold depending on our state of mind, There's strife confrontation character assination often uncommon seas are far from placid. The joy of traveling though you and me, Sea creatures feeling the longing, Finally belonging, Where somewhere and sometimes out of the blue, A Beluga whale speaks your name so perfectly and swims alongside you and me in uncommon seas.

God said, -through the Shaikh... ..be He blessed, The news has come to me about the kind of calamity that will befall Baghdad. Offering a supplication on behalf of the inhabitants of the city, praying they be spared. Saying, as God, dejected; *Be my life for indeed someone in this city deserves to be killed and crucified! For one individual whom YOU honor, like thousands of others whom YOU shall have destroy them; You make us suffer for THEIR sins?* WHAT HAVE THEY DONE? YOU *have melted the pieces into ingots of the Godless and men? You try to compete with the Prophets? You claim to miracles? You believe you speak the Word? That you represent, in doing, by action? Nay, -you serve the Jinn!* This is the end of an Age, Hypocrite! Vanity is your loss. * *...be not a deceiver... (85:20)* *

Bottom feeders flourish When the economy's a bust When bad times are the norm And good times turn to dust When neighborhoods go south it's sad But a sign of their demise Is when a bunch of pawn shops open up Before your very eyes When stores close down or move on out After years in the same place Their memory is a radar blip They leave without a trace But as fast as they lock up their doors Another shop moves in It's the local pawn shop dealer He's a shark without a fin Like dollar stores and boarded doors The pawn shop shows the way That business has moved on out Or closed or moved away They prey on peoples hardship They broker deals without a care They don't need to know your history They just know that you're there The street has three new pawn shops Palaces of buy back stuff It's bad when there is one around But, three...well that's enough One opened by the Jeweller Two doors down across the street Now he's buying up possessions Of everyone he meets Folks who purchased jewellery From Old Cy at his old store For each twenty of it's value The pawn shop gives you four Cy can't afford to buy back He doesn't have much money left And besides his store insurance Doesn't cover much for theft The people at the Pawn shops Took jobs and live in town They trained two counties over They succeed when times are down It's a sign of the recession Downtown dies and fades away And then the bottom feeders surface Their the ones who're gonna stay You can look in the shop windows Know who bought what and from where You know the candlesticks were bought at Cy's And you know who bought them there The guitar that hangs beside them That was pawned by Emma Rose She needed money for the bills When the fresh fish plant had closed There's a snapshot of the township Sitting inside on their walls They pawn shop is successful While the economy still falls You can see a piece and start to cry For you know just why it's there There's no one here to help them There's no jobs and it's not fair They open up each morning While the nights dregs still sleep outside They have done two hours business Before lights on at Cy's It's a sad and constant story Of just what a town's become But when asked if they've been in there The inhabitants go "mumb" They never seem to close up The town's never make it back While most places lose money Pawn shops make it by the sack The bluesman has some stuff there The bartender has some too Even though her bar's still going She did what she had to do The street, it is it's own world Jewelly shops, banks and bars But inside the local pawn shops Are hidden all the scars.

Vibrations of steel block engines have been lulling me to sleep lately Eyelids swaying up and down like the back and forth of seaweed on the ocean floor I count yellow dashed lines like others count sheep Feeling my consciousness slip away, I’m drowsy, I’m dreaming I dream of a golden city A golden bay along golden grass rooted in golden soil Golden streets with golden stop lights Golden cars parked in golden parking buildings Gold Telephone towers powered by gold electrical cables I begin noticing something strange about this city, as it shone so brightly with a golden sun setting as the city’s own back drop. There were no inhabitants. No pigeons. No stray cats. No dogs scavenging for spare scraps on starving stomachs Business Men in suits are found littering streets all around the globe. These streets lay barren Little girls playing hopscotch and jump-rope gone as if the city misplaced them all. My stomach dropping as I drop to my knees Panic attacks bring back memories of family and friends The beautiful faces of girls I once loved, and ones I may never be able to Questioning if reality was the dream I am alone in a wonderful Jungle It’s not easy to be alone in a City of Gold

OLD HOUSE They retain precious memories, intimate feelings of inhabitants passing through its sagging doors. Romantic are seekers of forgotten times memories encased in hard wood floors; as lath plastered walls ooze remnants of a history while we; when inclined listen. We don't go very often, to abandon houses, perhaps on a dare, or at Halloween. Are we passed enjoying extremes into this another world, musty energy a curious child. That was the yesterday which now waits behind musty, dusty, derelict halls. I stand I stand at paint chipped banister, a faded worn carpet once carried dancing feet, children playing before they sleep. The broken coat tree on the floor. From the third floor murmuring, a wind storm jars loose fears, of time once lost to dreams. Echos billow from each room, curtains hanging yellowed by a sun where dancing light through holes in damask lace. Mice gremlin's artful droppings, tracks of nature on dirt strewn floor. Broken shards from window panes, confetti after New Years day. Branches scratched etched paths, tracks like graffiti on sill its unread words, a glif eerily cast shadows trigger echos from the past. Jagged memories protrude from every corner mixing with new, enriching our fantasies bringing us closer renewed; these musty memories long forgotten. Like waves rushing back; flooding a mind like broken dikes they crash into our world, Rembrandt's paintings on canvas fading. Silent footsteps outside a door, we hear laughter from bedroom walls; a smell a whiff of hot butter *** silent conversation coming our way. Old Doc Masters listened at my chest, as I read all by candle light, Sherlock detective stories or the Tell Tale Heart of Poe or Othello; all masters in the past. A Grandfather clock stands silent, keeping time, lost its tick yet still striking, it stands tall, upon a clueless floor. Knowledge lost to a past in a house so worn, births, deaths, wars, wrapped forgotten, encased by neglect, I visited a house besotted, neglected waiting to be remodeled into another century moving it to present times.

We were just like stars. Exploding and crashing into one another. It was beautiful at first glance. Like glowing specks dotting the night sky. But it was painful like deafening explosions. And ashy clouds suffocating the inhabitants below. As your hands enclose themselves around my throat. I used to think that passion came from the heavens It doesn’t. It comes from a place of evil not unlike this. One where wars are fought over control. And can only be thought of as an enveloping abyss. One that I know, you no longer miss. Because now I am yours, with or without consent. We were like stars glittering, so very far from the rest. I thought it would last forever, that we would dance Into eternity, with your hands locked in between mine. The moon dust splattered like droplets of fresh paint. Across a vast canvas that was never to be finished. I was unaware and unprepared for the intensity of An abusive relationship. That to outsiders looked like desirable goals. If they only knew what happened behind closed doors. We were beautiful, just like stars But we were just as violent. With a hauntingly quiet release, a single star fell. You return to the evil that you call home, but that I call hell.

Just like Stars
Pacing in endless circles Appearing to be chasing their tails With nothing much to focus on, Eyes reflecting haunted souls unveil A ghost town abandoned long ago With no signs of life and the dust Rising up trying to hide the shame Of a system which failed the public trust. Street smells permeate the air; Sanitation becomes a four-letter word. There's no need for appetite here, Not in this theater of the absurd, And, well, I wouldn't feed the stuff To my worst enemy if I had one. It's a no-kill shelter with defunct inhabitants. If resiliency of the spirit be overdone, The ability to survive incredible odds, Look at souls forever trapped in their cages. As if to mock decency and humanity The signs read "Patria o Muerte."

complexity is your beauty simplicity your mystery interdependence sustains you once upon a time we dipped bowls into your waters and brought up draughts of life now Skipjacks go fathoms deep into endless depletion charting entangled dead zones broadening into a sea of inertness your delicate eco-essence tips toward oblivion effluvia farmers layer mechanized blankets of nitrates on your sunset shores weaving green tendrils of algae blooms strangling the entanglements of all links in your miraculous food chain the EPA proscribes a Jenny Craig pollution diet to halt the slaughter in oxygen challenged dead zones where rockfish are garroted, oysters get drilled by screwworms and azure tinted soft shell ***** dance soft shoe taps lifting a tinny chorus of sad Piedmont Blues the flat-lining watersheds voiceless warnings tremble rocking the purged nests of screaming ospreys in vocal protest of a sinking Tangier Isle anointing it’s tombstones of unvisited cemeteries with multicolored guano fitting alkaline tributes to the lost inhabitants and forgotten languages sinking into the brine of gray brackish tides Delmarva’s fine intra-continental balance skewed by the oozing industrial swill of Frank Perdue chicken farms ruling the roost of sanctioned sustainability tinging clear watersheds of finger lakes set in splints to repair dislocations and complex compound fractures that may never heal again Music Selection: Taj Mahal: Fishin Blues jbm Oakland 6/7/12

People say they want to try to fix the World's problems, yet few do more than simply imply that the Symptoms are the problem; We need to stop simply treating Symptoms and begin again to seek the Source; only then can we begin to progress and begin again to Harmonize. But they don't really want that; you see, they like the World's problems: Perhaps they see it as Vindication for propagating their vitriolic Dogmas. Perhaps they seek to seize control of Earth and her Inhabitants, or perhaps they seek to establish lucrative business contracts. In any case, it seems to me to be the case that they'd have stopped some problems, just in case; that is, if the case was that they truly and earnestly sought to: The World's Problems ensure future Business for the Military-Industrial Complex. The World's Problems enure future Business for the Pharmaceutical-Industrial Complex. The World's Problems ensure future Business for the Disedification-Industrial Complex. The World's Problems ensure future Business for Banks, Demagogues, Tyrants, Corporations and Thieves (sometimes all are one in the same!) - We need to stop dwelling upon the Symptoms and do something about the ******* Source; It's about time we, as Humans, stood up to this; our Wretched System, for precisely the same ideals it so facetiously claims: Justice, Equality, Freedom, Liberty, Tranquility, Solidarity, Opportunity, Prosperity; We have strayed. We have been betrayed. We are being played: We should be ******* irate. Irate, and yet Calm. Non-violent, yet resisting: Civil Disobedience is a Virtue in a World such as This. Civil Disobedience is a Symptom of a World such as This.

The World's Problems ensure future Business for Banks, Demagogues, Tyrants, Corporations and Thieves (sometimes all are one in the same!) - We need to stop dwelling upon the Symptoms and do something about the ******* Source; It's about time we, as Humans, stood up to this; our Wretched System, for precisely the same ideals it so facetiously claims: Justice, Equality, Freedom, Liberty, Tranquility, Solidarity, Opportunity, Prosperity; We have strayed. We have been betrayed. We are being played: We should be ******* irate. Irate, and yet Calm. Non-violent, yet resisting: Civil Disobedience is a Virtue in a World such as This. Civil Disobedience is a Symptom of a World such as This.

A lane of Yellow led the eye
Under his mighty authority, he sent forth a pair of spies Hidden by a harlot they now became Joshua’s eyes. Saving her and all that she has for what she hath done Later when they come to burn down the city Her and her family will be spared, there the only one. Assembling a band of seven priest’s in those strange lands He’s ordering them to encompass and circle the city While carrying the Ark of Covenant in their holy hands. Preparations now begin for a symphony of destruction it is for all the other inhabitants, due to all the corruption. Commanded until the appointed time to remain in silence After that, scream and shout loud with ragging violence. Marching with the trumpets at their side and on their hips It’s the seventh day, and now, they must make seven trips. The walls then came crumbling down, After they blew through those ram horns with their lips. Taking there treasures, the spoils of  war... They took it for the Lord's treasury, That is who they took it for. AMEN (SirCARSr. 11-25-13)

The Trumpets of Jericho
My breathing becomes erratic and warm blood rushes to the tips of my ears as I remember you. You showed me the world from a clean, glass window. For a while, it was amazing. The view was impeccable and there wasn't a single flaw. But day after day of staring through that clean, glass window I began to panic. The window wouldn't let me break through, let me be free. You kept me under wraps and hid me from a world of untamable beauty and free spirited inhabitants. The clean, glass window was warped with your tainted perspective on a perfect world. I couldn't breathe around you, I was a fish out of water and you didn't mind. As I flailed around, you chuckled and said "it's okay." But it's not okay and you cause me nothing but heart murmurs and not the butterflies in my stomach type. The type that wretches my gut. You did nothing but hurt me when all I ever did was love you.

Heart murmurs......I'm trapped
Preparations For Love and Destruction Volatile environments Whose inhabitants Distract inhibitions By enacting emotional exhibitions Fueled by liquid fire .Injection. Fluid spirits Energize the soul Chemically reacting to stress Freeing the hostages Housed inside the hostile hospice Of hearts .Ejection. Nature’s neutrality Doesn’t do much For this current Wave Of Lust and Frustration So, Lo and Behold The solo soul below Who bellows In the belly of beasts Like growls That grows into speech As I transform from Animal to Anomaly Asking for the one thing That will keep me From the answer .Rejection.
