"postulates" poems
How tenuous this grip we have, how slight our hold remains When all around  loud braggards boast that power now pertains, We see the banner headlines splashed across our daily rags And redneck demonstrations cleans the streets of Spics and **** When blood runs in the gutter as the battons rise and fall And whilst taking tea in style the filthy rich ignore it all. The blonde leader of our nation struts, postulates and brags While the rest of us skive off around the corner smoking **** Our  kids ingest confusion as they loiter on the street Unknowing  our delusions make illusions held, replete. How tenuous the grip we have, how slight our hold remains As our allies shower cold distrust convinced our fault inflames. What chance of clear redemption, what remedies revive When truth is lost to darkness can our honesty survive? Reputation cut to shards, confidences ****** That leaders of community no longer hold our trust When white is caste as black and then to green and then to grey And sanity refuses pontification one more day. How tenuous the grip we have, how slight our holds remain As twilight turns to darkness caste against a larks’ refrain. M. The White House HAMILTON, New Zealand 25 July 2018

How Tenuous the Grip We Have?
Why Do I have to learn this? Math hates me Didn't you know? The triangles glare The equations stare The postulates and theorems whisper nasty things The formulas judge The polygons sneer I just want to get out of here Take me away Back to English class The one without the numbers

Geometry
Just an equation, A Simple theorem. A little misbehaviour, Outside the decorum. . I add and provide, Hoping we never divide. At the geometry, I stare Just a mindfuck of a square. . A slight cross multiplication, To bond upon this attraction. To help develop the postulates. Of your mere subtraction. . I integrate & derive, It's the formulae I'm deprived Of. The questions always lead to me and you. I always end up in my four sided cube. - Aks, in math classes.

Four Sided Cubes.
perturbations of aliveness animated sensual arousal the world is full of beauty bleeding colour into edges the soul is on it's knees in constant reverence as the body postulates with many varied stances the heart's tide is roaring with cryptic coalescence symphonic sounds wave from an unstruck core swallowed in a resonance undulating both ways all ways, always.

aliveness
Plasmatic schematics mold plastics & filament dangles in the doorway. Grape fuit sweat, enough to fill a Basilisk flask, stains my nostrils. Thermodynamic hammocks solved the energy crisis between me & her. A golden silhouette postulates in my doorway; speaking in tongues to her **** She is the structure of water. The process of a thought. Gouge out my eye & hold it consciously between those clammy palms .

...The thing with no name, Surrounded by sadness, That kind of sadness Penetrating its silence, That kind of silence Searching the tears, Those tears Becoming cubes of light, Those cubes wondering On their situation of their becoming, Being involved in a movement Apparently anarchic, Needing, ''a priori cognoscible'', Synthetic truths And empirical postulates On the shape of their inner dislocation, Their shear looping into unstable equilibrium, Needing a stable equilibrium, Becoming emblematic symbols Of the diminishing boundary Between real and unreal, That cubic thing withdrawing itself, Slowly becoming Memory....

Between Real And Unreal
I blame myself for distasteful stupidity; This inability to conceptualise my sentiment. I'm magnetic to your waffled fingers, and you're blind To palpability. Your purity pours into me like a purgation I've never known; A thousand sins, each recognised, loved. How many words have we swapped? I pine, boy, and ponder upon the postulates you follow To place a seed into my soul. Must I really bury my affections for you? Saya ingin berdiri sebelah kamu, sebagai putri raja kamu.

Flatten the Earth. Peel the orange into a butterfly Octahedral symmetry guarantees it **** Euclid assumed How can we be sure of anything anymore? If we question the fundamental postulates Do social norms work as postulates? We assume X, therefore X is true Cease your baseless premise Stop the assumption Deconstruct and be free Yet we can never be free Liberation is what we crave A liberation from power from language from truth from meaning and yet it chases us down

It's a funny sort of Understanding when One postulates an assertion based wholly upon interpretation and then proceeds to refuse to allow the reply of the Subject before forming subjective conclusions. So what if you're being facetious? I can take a joke; and if I'm the subject of the joke, at least I'll get the context, if it is, in fact, a valid hyperbole to draw. If, as you claim, "Reality doesn't cease to exist just because one choses to ignore it," then why, I must inquire, would you send that note and then not allow a reply? I see a Jungian pattern here! If you take all of what you see to heart so readily, then I fear for your sanity; I anticipate your exclusivity. All I do in this particular medium is put ideas out there, hence the title "Philosomancer;" as I have said before (not that anyone cares to investigate) I don't necessarily subscribe to the notions I consider and write down, they simply provide a map of where I am, of where I've been, and, perhaps, in Time, a notion of where I'm going; a truly powerful piece of information to have.

A thought about one-way communication
I sit here at my desk Attempting to compose a poem So many subjects are going through my mind The music is my ears I hear the bass and drums Friends in my life I smile at the memories Math in school Proofs, postulates, and theorems The skeleton trees blowing in the wind Their branches are empty, for it is winter Voices around me Both high and deep, soothing and rough Chills in my body They go up and down my spine Gum in my mouth Sweet mint from Orbit freshens my breath And I'm thinking of someone in my life Who is special to me I smile at the memories And reminisce on the good times Is this not a random poem? I think it is

Composing
It is generally supposed we come to this place As a just reward for treachery and traitorousness. Indeed, nothing could be farther from the truth; Most of my compatriots her have blindly hitched their fortunes To some flag, some shining dogma, our fates sealed Through an unwillingness to be sufficiently self-interested, The refusal to abandon ship once it became apparent That the experience upon the rocks Would be neither enabling nor ennobling. My own case is illustrative of the rule; My father, noble sovereign ascending to the throne Via parlor tricks and the rustic embrace of folk legend, (The fornication resulting in my birth brushed aside As some accident of mistaken identity or enchantment) Is celebrated, beatified really, in song and legend, Yet I, who pulled myself up by my own bootstraps as it were, Winning his queen’s hand and defeating him on the field, Am consigned to this unhappy place in perpetuity, Suffering demons who hiss ******* Usurper!* As they put me through my paces (One takes their rebukes with a grain of salt; They are all mad, the likely result of dealing with this glut of madmen.) As I noted, the presence of myself and my brethren in this place Serve as a testament to the merits of fidelity, Which we commemorate daily, some days several times (I confess it seems more than a touch silly, But the necessity of creating distractions Trumps other concerns in a locale such as this) By staging caucus races, each participant addressing The ******* in front of him directly, Paying it fealty--My liege! My liege!--which is answered in turn By a cannonade of noxious farting (We assume the smells to be offensive, As the atmosphere here is somewhat deleterious at all times) All to the great amusement of those sprites Who observe our machinations, They in turn guffawing madly and urinating downward upon us While we, as the acidic waste corrodes us, also cackle like lunatics, Fairly shouting Ah, the gentle rain of Heaven--thank you, Lord! Though, oddly enough, our laughter at times (Most likely due to the aridity of the atmosphere around us) Seems to catch a bit in the throat.

removed restraints detained complaints numb sustains cataclysmic chain anchored in my brain convulsing in my spine destiny designed to terminate sensation existence is a crime when your lost traversing universes in search of solid ground dissolution seems a perfect summation of the postulates that compose the posture of this empty shell like a mismatched skeleton

pained summation
Where truth itself defines The postulates of humankind Where the blaze of dreams is alright And burns with all its might Where humanity conquers over The darkness deep inside Where every man is free And live a decent life Where the do not die But are in golden words immortalized Where the right and just do not succumb To the devil's evil designs Where thoughts are acknowledged The light of hope is shown Where knowledge defeats ignorance The ultimate truth is known Where the river of piety flows From glacier of purity, undeterred To serve those all those suffering Their own illusions' plight Where sun of conscience glows And where that glow is bright Where restless souls find There goals in this holy life And are not by sinful desires enticed Where earth is adored Life is respected Good work is appreciated Goals are met with Where there isn't any greed Where corrupt souls are enlightened This holy mind is freed

Utopia Part-I
I'm from the side of the tracks where you won't come back Sometimes fade to white, sometimes to black Secreting the pus of another failed lust My intentions only bending on a whim or a **** So break the glass over my face and watch me go hard If I got no other outlet you better hope you'll go far Because sickles and hammers aren't only symbolic They can be used to intrude on your systems metabolic Contortionists form a fist and slick the road for communists A bottomless populace heavy handed and cacophonous Desolate like postulates from existentialists, mop your **** And follow it with sawed-off **** shotguns for columnists So open up these ******* veins, I got no reason to try and change Scatter-brained, like blood insane in dark fantasies untamed Unchained and ********* and horse-laced with your taste My way is the highway so don't **** with my **** deranged I'm sick like *** it's exciting To know you're dying From the first breath You're primed for death And there's nothing left Like 21 grams And ***** sexts It's a blank slate And my blood's paint For the walls of The Satanic Saints To **** my brain And **** myself Because it's easier Than killing everyone else No ******* effort, no giving a **** Surely I am broken like a Muslim's **** So you're right to be scared Sure you're checking my history To make sure that no one Is trying to **** me I'm ugly, my soul is black And I'm happily taking nothing back I told you I needed an outlet But don't assume I'm finished yet
