Ode XXVI.

En vous donnant ce pourtraict mien
Dame, je ne vous donne rien
Car tout le bien qui estoit nostre
Amour dès le jour le fit vostre
Que vous me fistes prisonnier,
Mais tout ainsi qu'un jardinier
Envoye des presens au maistre
De son jardin loüé, pour estre
Toujours la grace desservant
De l'heritier, qu'il va servant
Ainsi tous mes presens j'adresse
A vous Cassandre ma maistresse,
Corne à mon tout, et maintenant
Mon portrait je vous vois donnant :
Car la chose est bien raisonnable
Que la peinture ressemblable,
Au cors qui languist en souci
Pour vostre amour, soit vostre aussi.
Mais voyez come elle me semble
Pensive, triste et pasle ensemble,
Portraite de mesme couleur
Qu'amour a portrait son seigneur.
Que pleust à Dieu que la Nature
M'eust fait au coeur une ouverture,
Afin que vous eussiez pouvoir
De me cognoistre et de me voir !
Car ce n'est rien de voir, Maistresse,
La face qui est tromperesse,
Et le front bien souvent moqueur,
C'est le tout que de voir le coeur.
Vous voyriés du mien la constance,
La foi, l'amour, l'obeissance,
Et les voyant, peut estre aussi
Qu'auriés de lui quelque merci,
Et des angoisses qu'il endure :
Voire quand vous seriés plus dure
Que les rochers Caucaseans
Ou les cruels flos Aegeans
Qui sourds n'entendent les prieres
Des pauvres barques marinieres.

life is a cycle
of existence and non-existence
life is a battle
between obeissance and defiance.
death is natural
all beginning has to come to end.
life is a struggle
where complete victory's uncertain.
my life is a joke
people never tried to understand.
all words that I wrote
were just mere antics by a foolish man.
i have tried to love
but ever as in my endeavors
I utterly failed
tis' the destiny of a stupid.
the world must be purged
of men just as useless and worthless.
that the way be paved
for all humanity's happiness.
good bye world and love
I will be heading to the nine springs.
sorry world and love
for all of my failed undertakings.
High athwart global sphere
planet Earth doth app pear
tubby totally tubular as a mere
twinkling gem devoid of lesions from hare
brained schemes to exploit near
Gaea, where

legions of self aggrandizement tear
ring into all four corners  
   of terrestrial firmae orb queer
hull us wreaking indiscriminate havoc,

   yet blithe dismissal mare
ring greedily inducing
   brass knuckle sandwich lobbed punches
   punctuating each pugilisitc
   jude dee ish us punch with denunciatory jeer

accompanied in situ with a malicious glare
destroying staunch
   eco-friendly advocates tabulated violations
   kept under lock and key  
  within a filing cabinet dossier
to hell rants Donald Trump and his miscreants
   in reference viz those “FAKE” defiant, hippo critical
   defenders of Earth, wind, fire, and air

subject to rampant wanton (soup per) discrediting  
   substantiated scientifically airtight conclusion,
   sans irrefutable linkedin cause and effect
   against human perpetrators
   rampant environmental abuse

pegged since that first Margarita
   signaled industrial age crowdsourcing,
   crowing, crowning deuce
ex machina leveling landscape until
   scoured bowels of oblate spheroid glacis loose
to wring and extract sought after mineral wealth
   essentially wrenching, hammering, nailing cinch,
   which global gem analogous

   to affixing a polarized noose
specific metals deemed precious
   justifying reckless ramifications thin as gruel excuse
whereat said esteemed Mother Nature privy ledges
   sheared to extract vis a vis akin to a sluice

industrial machinations insyc –
   dynamited, sheared, sound blasted to rob
   (point blank with no criminal sentence),
   especially when conglomerate
   conspiratorial corporations
   violated most every truce

boot at bottom, any vow to tender flora and fauna,
   a dead letter steeped in violations ruse
vitiate prior drafted conservation pacts signed, sealed
   and delivered with “faux” obeissance

uttering lame excuse
in an effort to squeeze and seize
   (by aggressive means if necessary), the goose
that laid golden eggs intended to line deep purple pockets –
   brushing aside accusations with VAMOOSE,

particularly to marginilized Native Americans
   already a shadow of their former glory,
   but production even at the expense of
   slo-mo genocide annihilation a road block
   to sought after mineral deposits juiced

waiting for opportunity to rake landscape bare
   as the Moon (with a eh “No big deal attitude)”
indiscriminately sowing seeds of bleakness
   via uprooting, scraping,

   and pulverizing plants and animals
such as Bull Winkle the moose
and crown such egregious destruction
   claimed as righteousness purportedly pinpointed

   within religious texts to render unto haven
   of innocent creatures, and other organic life,
   the God sent email to reduce
once resplendent oblate spheroid,
   now nothing but a wasteland
   even a nightmare to Doctor Zeus!
