Climate Change (Acrostic Poem)
Freud says tattoos Are The Manifestation Of a Trauma Every point A Separate pain We Have Suffered It took Two And a Half Hours To complete The Diary Of my Trauma And half a million perforations To convert Those Memories Into something New And Beautiful To finally Let go Of the past

Tattoo
I had no idea how terrible it all was Until I matured a bit and opened my eyes It cleared the mist that I often now miss From the eyes of an unwilling devil Seeing the tragedy unfold from a first-person level I remember it all from that god awful view The bad things I’ve done, over which I had no control The outcomes I hoped with the manifestation of some Who am I kidding - I’ve been among a fortunate few Except for the fact that life dealt me an ace with a ****** ***** Not quite like anyone - an outcasted sole With depressive thoughts - eating them straight from the bowl Until euphoria strikes - then I’m a lightning bolt These emotional storms - they strike me as cold Who am I to cry and complain about life Everyone is united by the suffering light The random subscription to a life with a set rhythm If only I could command my heart not to wither

Euphoria strikes
We know the world is a crazy place and that is it easy to give up, throw in the towel. The idealism of youth gives way to the cynicism of middle age when we realize that despite our best efforts, change is very difficult. To be a parent and, in particular, to be a father....why bother? Some say fatherhood is driven by ego, the child providing the ultimate selfish representation of oneself. Others say driven by fear, the fear of mortality and the unconscious and genetic need to propagate and maintain our lineage, our species, our world. While both can be true, I believe the best manifestation of fatherhood is  driven by tikkun olam, a Jewish concept that we all have an obligation to better the world, to move it to a better state than currently exists. We do what we can when on this earth to love our family, friends, and be as righteous as this world will allow. Our genetic legacy is not nearly as important as our obligation to pass on what we know, have learned, have experienced, and enable our children to carry the mission to an always higher level. No matter what our belief in the afterlife, and what the future may hold we are here now in THIS life, and as long as we move the ball further and further in the right direction, there can be hope. Truly being a father, a good father, enables hope.  Maybe that is enough.

Manifestation
Have you ever stumbled upon someone life-shatteringly special? You lose your breath and can't think straight. But somehow they've stuck around. Feeling like a stunned vegetable to your innocent charisma. Like divine intervention we met in the most unlikely of ways. We hit it off and spent hours together, confined and stressed. How did we get along so well? How did we manage to learn more together than alone? How did we manage to find each other in this big world? I'll always wonder if there is more to this story. Answers to my plaguing questions that rule my emotional state. I don't know how to describe what it is I feel in a rational way. It doesn't serve rationale. Writing it all down or saying it only compounds how crazy I must sound. But I'm not a loony bin. On the contrary, you are just infinitely more special than you realise! But I'll not skip a note nor bump a chord. Because I see you so finely in all your elegance. A beauty which radiates in an innocent manifestation. I can't tell if everyone else can see it also. They must?! I must have no chance here. I know I should cut my losses and move on. Right..? Hope to find this feeling once more. But something from beyond the blackened ether of midnight skies and space dust tells me to keep trying.

I see you, monster... In your sockets bore dead, dark eyes They hold the blackest of stares Nebulous swirling pits of demise Thin lips would spout the most sibilant of hisses Every so often would curl into a snarl Dry and chapped, almost unworthy of kisses Large, rough snout, jutting out like a crag You sniff around tirelessly for easy targets Preying on the unsuspecting minds of those under your flag Tapering chin, sprouting strands of coarse hair Unkempt and gritty from your last meal Decaying teeth, crooked due to little to no care Your face is cratered; tales of trying adolescent years Wearing a face only a mother could love Expressionless but it screams out your fears Ugly jointed limbs that grew out of sync Disproportionate, misshapen, grotesque Little noggin with sparse hair, packed within, a brain that thinks I hear you, monster... As you stalk your sleepless nights Nocturnal ambience be your playground Lurking in the dark; places with no light Bulky, heavy feet but deft and silent Can barely notice when you're up and about As if cloaked yourself stealthy, with steps ever transient Respire you do, exhaling breaths so gnarly Ingesting good air, converting into fervid, loathsome notions With which you paint a portrait so ghastly I feel you monster... Deep within the recesses of my heart Destroying and distorting all that was pure Testing my will till I should fall apart You're but the twisted manifestation of conscience Feeding on my trials and nurturing them into vile abominations I despise that of you but I seem to have developed dependence I see you, monster... You're horrid and beastly, an embodiment of absolute horror I await the day that you would finally dissolve For I am weary of seeing you staring back in the mirror

This is hellopoetry I do not dwell on Hurtful comments Or negativity The insanity of the way Humans marginalize And hate others Without reasons Without merits Is like knives in my heart All I see is beauty everywhere Every human on earth Is a universe in their own right A manifestation of uniqueness That can never again replicated I’m here to write and share my thoughts With those who cares for it Give the world a snapshot Of my soul and it’s principles My dream my pain my emotion my humanity If negativity is where you dwell I implore you stay out of my inbox Highly recommend you read Motivating things Or maybe listens to songs That would cheer you up I learned most storms Don’t come to disrupt Your life rather to clear your path The challenges equip you With the necessary weapons And tools you need to Spiritually advance Therefore I’m stepping Into your hatred challenge With confidence and much More wisdom than I had. Don’t let hatred dwell In your mind and heart For I have nothing but Love for you my brother If you had my life You would understand!

Evil Are Not Welcome
Words, They could never hurt, They could never cut, They could never make you bleed, Physically. Words, A manifestation of self-hate, Written in bold, Anorexia, Bulimia, Depression, I was sold. Words, The last, Written on a bloodstained note, "I can't stay afloat"

Words
Raw energy. Despite the stiffness in his fingers, despite the way his fingertips harden with calluses, the industrious pianist hammers out the same tune that he played last night, and the night before, and the night before that, and unnumbered evenings before that. Each notes falls magically into place, none out of tune or without purpose, perfectly in time. Raw diligence and focus flooding his brown eyes, gazing deeply into the sheet music. His yellow forehead wanted dabbing, Steeped in his sweat. A manifestation of his time spent in his trade. The conscientiousness in his eyes. The raw vitality of his weathered hands. The way he fills each note with sentiment. Perhaps those are what keep calling me near?

It was but was not god nor  goddess. It was but was not deva nor devi. It was but was not angel nor demon. It was but was not metaphysical being of any kind.

It was but not incarnate nor disincarnate. It was but was not existent nor non-existent. It was but could be described in words in any way. It was but had not depth nor height nor breadth nor volume. It was  but could not be measured in any way. It was but had not materiality of any kind. It was but had not immateriality of any kind. It was but had not space nor lack  of space. It was but had not direction nor lack  of direction. It was but had not nothingness. It was  but had not somethingness. It was but had not anythingness. It was but had not beingness. It was but not Isness or non-Isness. It was but had not light nor dark. It was but had not wetness nor dryness. It was but was not nowhere. It was but was not nowhere. It was but was not somewhere. It was but was not anywhere. It was and then It manifested the nature of Its essence and became the universe and all that was in the universe. All that was incarnate and disincarnate. All that was physical and metaphysical. All that was existent and non-existent. And still It was. It manifested Itself in ignorance of Its own nature as the Isness of the Universe, in order to participate in the existence It had created from Its own essence,on an equal and fair level with humanity. It gave of its own essence by putting a small piece of its own essence--the individual Isness-which is equal and autonomous and individual and independent--into all human bodies,both female and male,at conception. And It made humans ignorant of their nature--the  individual Isness-- as It  made itself ignorant of Its own nature. And then It set humans and Itself the Riddle of the Existence that had come from Its manifestation of its nature as the universe and all that was in it. It posed these three questions to humanity and to Itself. 1--Who am I?. 2--Why am I here?. 3--When I knowhow I am then what is my purpose?. Who am I?. Like all humans,and for the sake of fairness, It manifested Itself  into ignorance of its own nature also. The Isness of the Universe set humans the task of realising their own nature--which is the individual Isness--as an equal individual autonomous and independent part of the essence of the Isness of the Universe,so that they could then show the Isness of the Universe Its own essence and then share existence together. The principle governing Its action in creating the universe and all it contains, especially humanity,was that before you can reach the heights of existence you must go through the depths of existence. Why am I here?. Obviously I am here to answer the first question. After answering the first question --which can only be done existentially and not intellectually-- there would then be the third question to be answered. The answer to the first question lies in regaining your existential nature--the individual Isness--as a small but equal,independent, individual,nameless,formless,genderless and non-physical Isness formed from the Isness of the Universe which is free from Mind and Conditioned Identity. The answer  does  NOT lie in amassing the false knowledge of all "religions" and "political systems  that the Mind and Conditioned Identity have created in order to mislead the individual Isness from realising ,existentially,its true nature. The Isness of the Universe  did not want a world of maniputed puppets,as the Mind/Conditioned Identity,does but in order to achieve fairness in solving the Riddle of Existence,it gave humanity these attributes and the ability to live out their opposites.

Diacridic He lays While the leaves sit underneath the brilliance of sincerities tree, and thinking to you were all the things done by. As it were Discriptless Pages left turned and inkless What's left behind inside the minds of an intertwining summer a conclusion predesignated. I saw to you, just as I waved hello to goodnight’s moon. As they touched along the surfaces fleeting into the skin A welcomed wound. And didn’t you know, That the pictures I stole Of every point of you Were etching onto sheets of heaven into the reflections of the mirrors that sit before your bedside. While it rests with mixed spirits, the roses that I bore Passing through glowing bodies are the images you started to dream with me while the silences burrow A judgement left only partially bridged. Melded with the manifestation of adoptions quest And as the calls ring in secluce, I still feel that this alley is ghostless Lest this vase breathe the life of unwilted flowers where the flip sides meet on the evenings tides joined by charmed indifferences in company with the character of an old flame, only tangible with lights which lay ahead. medleyed in to what's to be. ​

Grotesque Manifestation
SEASHELLS Seashells Humble shells of the sea Each seems to be still alive and staring at me In its matchless symmetry- Like the wondrous beauty of a painting A tender poem written with poignancy Not of life’s sorrows but joys For celebration –each is like a happy Mozartian symphony Such perfection in a tiny manifestation Natura in minimis maxima- The envy of Michelangelo or Da Vinci Seashells—nature’s glorious gifts by far. Seashells Always remind me of happy childhood days Lucky finds—spotted often in half -buried golden sand Proudly displayed in a jar---I won every classmate’s praise. Seashells Tell of the sea’s unknown stories Events that had stretched through millions of centuries When you spot one on the shore, readily Pick it up as a treasure----contemplate upon its profound mystery.

There’s a crack in my windshield growing bigger by the day It’s like a manifestation of the words I want to say Your calm demeanor disrupts my flow There’s more to you; there’s more to know Of all the people I never would have guessed And I’ve never been good at the marshmallow test This change of pace I don’t quite get Please kind sir, are you in love with me yet?

Swirling spiral of anti-matter Cascading down an endless ladder In non-corporeal states Spirits search for their soul mates One taste and we miss our goal And cling to a second-hand role One state that we all share Bittersweet and unaware Feed on life, consumed to death We devour the world with every breath Forged by chance, nurtured in deceit We glimpse the truth and quickly retreat Our description becomes indescribable Our delusions become undeniable You were once mine for a moment in time I embraced your accustomed wounds Used and abused, starving for love You shone like a Samhain Moon Yet love is alive, not a lie Not a manifestation of will Not a statue of god or paradise façade Nor some unholy devil’s deal I was once young with mind undone Chasing a somber moon Yet time has devoured Those dead flowers Upon that empty tomb

SOMBER MOON
Packed like sardines inside a jeepney— Too full, with a jeepney strike going on. Rushing, mother and child ride along. Greasy, ***** malnourished… The woman holds a can— a makeshift drum. Little boy hands out envelopes, he looks like he's 3 years old, he's most likely 6. Woman beats her drum, nobody listens chatter drowning out the rhythm… Invisible ears to go with invisible envelopes His head touches my legs, dissipating heat— an indicator of how long he's been under the sun and smog The thought chills me… He stares at my sister's shopping bags with searing eyes… Windows that I can’t bear to look into, afraid to see my reflection of clouded guilt and frustration I shake my head, no food to share but my hands reach out to his, to give him some money. My sister remembers a bottle of iced tea, and hands it to him. He has a hard time opening it, and asks for help from the school girls… Invisible again. I reach out and get the bottle from him Temporary refreshment for a body that is parched, for a soul who is thirsty for so much more. I cannot help but gulp in guilty air. He sits on the aisle, savoring the tea as his mother thumps on the can. The little boy retrieves envelopes, all empty— as hollow as the sound of the beating drum. What do you do, what can you do? The jeepney stops. They alight from it... The mother looks back and says, "Salamat." It goes straight to my heart. Her eyes move me most— one eye is cloudy, grayed out, perhaps a manifestation of the storms in her life? That single word seared through me, and I felt how much she meant it… Her thank you made me want to give so much more, to call out to her and give whatever I had at the moment but they are gone... Lost in a crowd of faceless people, and I myself want to get lost, hide my face in shame… What can you do?

Stop describing your terrible ****** encounters I know you've had other women since I ended things with you You're acting like you don't have magazines stashed under your bed What, when I was with you your hand was your secret lover And now it's not enough? I'm so cold. I just want the affirmation of another soul's proximity Is anyone out there? The spinning feeling increases its tempo The awful silence crescendos Bring me back, bring me back I miss the Saturday night I spent on mushrooms. Everything was alright in the world Anonymous carefree the world was ablaze I convinced myself I was a fire spirit and you were a deer I'm not addicted: I only tried it once. All I want is a cigarette and to go back to sleep. The world will turn without me Your heart will be cold either way Why and I vying for your attentions? I tell myself I'm too antisocial Until I have asked every single last one of my faceless friends to come get me I guess it's alright to take some time for yourself Is this a manifestation of grief or depression? Is anyone out there? I prefer the company of strangers to those who I've already become disillusioned with Will anyone feel my gentle tugging and lend me a hand? Just a coffee Just a smoke Just a walk through the warming days Spring cleaning I've successfully ignored your texts for long enough I think I'll sleep with you Not because I think that's all I'm good for.

I think this is a ***** call
Stop describing your terrible ****** encounters I know you've had other women since I ended things with you You're acting like you don't have magazines stashed under your bed What, when I was with you your hand was your secret lover And now it's not enough? I'm so cold. I just want the affirmation of another soul's proximity Is anyone out there? The spinning feeling increases its tempo The awful silence crescendos Bring me back, bring me back I miss the Saturday night I spent on mushrooms. Everything was alright in the world Anonymous carefree the world was ablaze I convinced myself I was a fire spirit and you were a deer I'm not addicted: I only tried it once. All I want is a cigarette and to go back to sleep. The world will turn without me Your heart will be cold either way Why and I vying for your attentions? I tell myself I'm too antisocial Until I have asked every single last one of my faceless friends to come get me I guess it's alright to take some time for yourself Is this a manifestation of grief or depression? Is anyone out there? I prefer the company of strangers to those who I've already become disillusioned with Will anyone feel my gentle tugging and lend me a hand? Just a coffee Just a smoke Just a walk through the warming days Spring cleaning I've successfully ignored your texts for long enough I think I'll sleep with you Not because I think that's all I'm good for.

"Commitment issues" Commitment: a designated set of time Issues: problems So I cannot, successfully, Designate an "appropriate" amount of time To a relationship Is that right? Keep in mind, These women enter my life And I tell them I don't believe in marriage And they say "that's ok" Until it's not. Maybe it's a comment I made Or maybe they forgot But something changes over time And I am not an object I am not some possession That people can lay claims to I am a human With ever-changing needs and desires With thoughts and feelings And my own perception of reality So maybe I get anxious when people Try to put some hold on me You chalk it up to commitment issues What if I just don't like feeling owned? What if I simply refuse To let anyone remove my autonomy? And what's even wrong with that? Who gets to decide what is an "Appropriate" amount of time? Oh, wait, That's "forever" right? Says who? Why should I continue to chase this Socially-constructed dream Of spending my entire life with one person If that's not what makes me happy? Trust me, I've tried for a long time And I could never seem to find A singular being Who I'd willingly spend eternity with If that even exists And until this point I've been unhappy most of my life Reflecting on my failed attempts at Happy monogamy I am finally happy now Free love is beautiful It has liberated my soul It has liberated my love And my sense of self For once I feel happy most days I am focusing on myself now Instead of pouring everything into another I'm growing more everyday And learning more about who I am But you just brush that off Saying my polyamorous identification Is a manifestation Of some fear of commitment It couldn't possibly be the real me It couldn't possibly be the way I feel happiest Because it's not the "normal" way to desire? It's not the logical form of love? Or it's just different Or it's just new And you rejecting it within me Means you aren't accepting me for who I am In this moment If that's the case Then I don't know who you're in love with Because this is who I am Whether you like it Or disagree with it Or not This is who I am And I'm so over Trying to validate Justify And explain myself Just because someone disagrees with my form of loving

Broken box Society’s cold shoulder Children grow older People get colder Humans become more animalistic Incarcerated ******** Humans don’t deserve this Barbarity Our city Needs clarity Eyes upwards in isolation Nocturnal Echo location With no manifestation of god But the sun feels so good Freedom forgotten Lost to new conditioning A tumor that gains a stronger claim To an inmate’s brain We are not improving our world We are just pharmacist repositioning The world’s pain

Prison
What's your name? Abubakar salim bin jahedee sorry sir you will have to step back, ****** hypocrites, how does my religion connect to terrorism, I'm just a tourist in your territory, no doubt, my fellow brothers who dress like me, act upon their anger due to ignorance, and the quest for freedom ,peace& justice, Just see, What a curious coincides that is, -but does that make me a terrorist? Islam's a religion of peace, yet they propagate islam with bad image, Which is a huge damage, Who's involved in horrendous crimes, Who oppresses mere harmless civilians? When we retaliate the world begins to hate and start generalizing, without realizing what conspired, -does that make me a terrorist? Its we muslims who suffer from terrorism, all around the globe, Terrorizing and vandalising isn't islam heritage, Impressed and obsessed you are with your TV, believing the twisted storys as it gets to you with no atom of truth, Corrupted by silly illusions, Apportioning blame on hopeless islamist seeking for peace, Do you still think i'm a terrorist? Develop some form of reservation when you call us terrorists, I need not to speak through my nose, before you know islam is against all kinds of injustice, -How can I be a terrorist then? Innocent muslims die everyday, In the hands of american soldiers yet we are never part of the mainstream news. No one cares, Take a soul of an american citizen, Then the whole world will point at muslims as terrorist, how tragic, -does that make me a terrorist? As a Reflection & manifestation, Of an expression to the element of truth, My Quran says, you with your religion & me with my religion, -does that sound like words of a terrorist? I dress in the most noblest of form, Yet you criticize me while you breed monsters in your country, Man to woman, woman to man all in the name of civilization, All these leaves me spellbound,speechless & riveted In loneliness and seclusion, Reflect over the word terrorism, And you will see it has no connection with islam, i'm a muslim not a terrorist.

SWAN SONG (–noun the last act or manifestation of someone or something; farewell appearance) __________________ Lotus pond Waits Silently Lotus flowers too Pink petals -hesitatingly Unfurl, heron silently stare Life unfolding, In the morning mist Boddhi tree floated, a message Of life, In the falling leaf On the temple floor Breeze stood still Music of Flute stopped playing In the bamboo grove Swan has started singing its song Life, lives in little steps of love But love bleeds life In little steps, too Falling, leaving and dying Swan is singing Its swan song Time does not know, It has come Deep in the temple Buddha Smiles Nothing is forever Forever is nothing _____________ Om Namah Shivaya

Swan Song
It's well even in the land of well.. It's well even in the kingdom of well .. It's all garbage in garbage out all from garbage . Just like the name, the thoughts of many are, like in most.. it's garbage to those in the same vibration but below exceptions makes it seem godly and magnificent. I wish. I understood. things, words, language the fingers scribes some times... Trying to make sense but making nonsense, ha, I get it, sense takes one third of nonsense, twisted for the disabled. It's just too twisted for the disabled but not for the ables. Twisted....... Books.. Twisted.. Poems... Twisted.... Believes. Twisted... Unending.... Twisted scientists making clones.. Twister... Imagination... Twisted.. Flexibility... Twisted.. So they say... Anxious.. So they feel.. Unbearable. So they remain... Twisted it is and twisted it will be.. Cause, it's believed that twisted is for the unbeing.. It's the outwordly. It's the unreal.. Few escapes, the fews that grasp twisted and make it a friend and a guardian.. A partner and a mentor... Hence they sleep with twisted.. Pray with twisted.. Worship twisted.. Eat with twisted.. Eats twisted.. Marry twisted.. Bond twisted And starts delivering twisted babies.. everything rolls down with the understanding of twisted.. Never could end this infinite theorem.. cause the source is twisted and twisted is goodness and goodness is in all but all isn't in goodness... Even fates are twisted.. Cause our fates are being changed in per second not discovered yet but now or soon.. By the Steps taken... Choices made... Thoughts expressed. Thoughts conceived.. Conceived, oh, I remember a line in one of the forgeten books of agony.. Agony in processes. Agony in delivery.. Once again twisted it is. Sense is one third of nonsense.. Wakeup... Days are very slim here and nights are very colossal.. So awaken and prepare, for the rainy days might seem no end. Drought might be handy. Sorrow might be arrowed through the heart. Preparedness toughens and Patience exonerate.. Patience can be twisted with weakness, it's okay, Patience is weakness to the extent that weakness compels strength.... That's the TWIST.. Many fight to distance weakness yet run after strength but never realize that strength is the shadow to weakness. Shoma morita's.. Embrace with.. Accept it.. Adopt it.. But never tolerate it from the weak.. Else excuses will be made from it. Procrastination will be fashioned. And discouragement will be manifested.. Manifestation.. The resulting culmination of things.. Things precipitated by TWISTED... Now Wakeup. It's well even in the land of well.. It's well even in the kingdom of well .. It's all garbage in garbage out all from garbage . Just like the name, the thoughts of many are, like in most.. it's garbage to those in the same vibration but below exceptions makes it seem godly and magnificent. I wish.
