"propagate" poems
I don't love you as if you were the salt-rose, topaz or arrow of carnations that propagate fire: I love you as certain dark things are loved, secretly, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that doesn't bloom and carries hidden within itself the light of those flowers, and thanks to your love, darkly in my body lives the dense fragrance that rises from the earth. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where, I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I don't know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close.

Sonnet XVII: Love
Day-colored wine, night-colored wine, wine with purple feet or wine with topaz blood, wine, starry child of earth, wine, smooth as a golden sword, soft as lascivious velvet, wine, spiral-seashelled and full of wonder, amorous, marine; never has one goblet contained you, one song, one man, you are choral, gregarious, at the least, you must be shared. At times you feed on mortal memories; your wave carries us from tomb to tomb, stonecutter of icy sepulchers, and we weep transitory tears; your glorious spring dress is different, blood rises through the shoots, wind incites the day, nothing is left of your immutable soul. Wine stirs the spring, happiness bursts through the earth like a plant, walls crumble, and rocky cliffs, chasms close, as song is born. A jug of wine, and thou beside me in the wilderness, sang the ancient poet. Let the wine pitcher add to the kiss of love its own. My darling, suddenly the line of your hip becomes the brimming curve of the wine goblet, your breast is the grape cluster, your ******* are the grapes, the gleam of spirits lights your hair, and your navel is a chaste seal stamped on the vessel of your belly, your love an inexhaustible cascade of wine, light that illuminates my senses, the earthly splendor of life. But you are more than love, the fiery kiss, the heat of fire, more than the wine of life; you are the community of man, translucency, chorus of discipline, abundance of flowers. I like on the table, when we're speaking, the light of a bottle of intelligent wine. Drink it, and remember in every drop of gold, in every topaz glass, in every purple ladle, that autumn labored to fill the vessel with wine; and in the ritual of his office, let the simple man remember to think of the soil and of his duty, to propagate the canticle of the wine.

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.

Spring memes Cuddle under iced sheets Seduced by frigid lies And a burberry scarf; As snow ploughs rule the runway Glazed rosebuds, Thimbled thorns, Strawberries wrapped in cashmere; And a carrot-nosed character dressed in white, Play the fiddle Naked limbs creep Into the sky, Seeking green accessories For fashion week in June Amidst global miles of warmth Grandfather's  clock Ticks wisely ahead, Hands free of politic; And the memes of Spring delayed Propagate through verse And cliched controversies... Eclipsed by tweets from the Black Sea. ~ P (#TheMemesOfSpringDelayed) (3/7/2014)

Time to be in Tune with my own Best Dad Much would it take to cause Celebration Sermons apart, yet Insights I just had Took me some Yards taped for Inspiration Rarely such Species can just Understand The Skirted *** most Males eliminate Still most Sires force their Sons on Demand To spout their Seeds for Pride to propagate If you can recall those Sales-Slips within How Footed and Devote your Presence was Tri-Dimed Corporate; Or Sea-Tigers therein Is just the Greeting Card I'll Love at last. Senior come hither; In Prime Deposit Father my Mentor; In Wisdom ask it.

SONNET TRIBUTE: JESUS ***** C. MANDREZA JR.
You came in late, again I said hello, pecked your cheek and waited for the flow of excuses. None came. You went and poured a drink I sat awaiting your words. You came back in, sat heavily down and looked at the floor. I felt rage inside my breast,I had news to tell. You never asked how I was, or how my day went. I sat quietly waiting, listening to the ice ***** the glass, I felt as vulnerable as that ice cube, once solid now melting, waiting, fuming, controlling my anger. You looked up, you looked at me, no through me, and said "I'm late because I've been having an affair" Did a freight train just hit me? I felt despair, but you said more, "She's pregnant, and is keeping the child" Clarity liberated me from my stupor, late nights, meetings, high mileage on the car. I asked a question, "Are you leaving me?" You dropped your head, and said the words most wives dread "Yes, I have to be a father, do the right thing, I love you but....." Your words trailed off. I stood up, took your glass and refilled it for you. My turn. "Did you start coming home late because of her? Or because I've gained weight? Or both those reasons?" Silence. "Pack your bags, leave the keys, get a hotel bed" Those words came out so clear, you'd swear I'd knifed you.                                                ~ At the front door, you turned, about to say something, I cut you off "Send me your new address, I need it for the solicitor, I'm divorcing you. And by the way, before I forget, you're not the only one that's been late, it would seem you know how to propagate" I shut the door, rubbed my tummy, and waited to be called mummy.

Hi! My name is poetic and I'm poetical, I shine with the pen and I always get lethal. Don't be stunned when my poetry's jab Causes plague and blinds you with a flap! My speech is rooted in truth And my words are anchored by oath. The metaphor speaks for itself And the simile becomes my wealth. I am a poet,you don't seem to know it! I don't think twice,I just blow it! The poem that you've just read today Was taken raw from the shelf by the way. I was a broken puzzle And now with these words as I addazzle, I can say poetry brought it all together And made mild conditions of the weather. Don't hate,I speak my mind, And regret after the words are combined To infiltrate your soul and propagate A well refined feeling of weight! Half the words I orchestrate the meaning, The other half I display with grinning. What matters is that I planted the seed And you nurture it well as you read!

American Democracy is setting a trend: American Democracy is a Sitcom, or perhaps a Game Show of demagogic, narcissistic sociopaths tricking and manipulating the Public via various sources in a highly consolidated Media industry into thinking they vote for a particular flavor of Tyranny when in reality Today's flavor of Tyranny is all decided for you because the burden of Choice is far too stressful for the Moderner without proper medication, and the power of Choice may require some sort of educated critical Thinking, some sort of re-edification which is far too much for us to handle in this socially sanctioned doped-up state and with such an intentionally failing Education system from K through 12 and beyond. With American Democracy, We have a grand Illusion of Choice. It's so convincing that many believe the Illusion is True. (Sort of like hew we think of Reality, but with Choice of Government!) For American Democracy, They don't want mass Education. They don't want mass Edification. They don't want Critical Thinking; Those things prevent a Control by few. In American Democracy, They intentionally destroy progresses made, like Rights, They perpetuate stigmas about things like genders and the concept of "race" itself They propagate Terror as their Sheeple scream from the sidelines for more They defile the sanctity of Human Experience, of Reality itself and chain us to a system that benefits only a few while destroying everything else, like Climate and Environment. These Demagogues are Satan, if Satan is real: They tempt us with the things we don't need, filling us with Stress, Desires, Prejudices and Fears, and ceaselessly wage war on institutions of Education, all the while keeping us from finding the things we already have within each of us. This System of American Democracy has degraded into a  corrupted fractal of the ages-old ways of Tyranny and Terror: Aristocracy, Plutocracy, Patriarchy, Oligarchy, Kleptocracy, Demagoguery, Bankocracy, Corporatocracy, Fascism; Tell me, What is the ******* difference? I mean, even Adolf ****** was elected democratically under the pretense of "Change" then, for weeks later, suspended civil rights indefinitely after a likely false-flag 'attack' on the Reichstag in 1933, (for which the Nazis blamed the communists.) under the pretense of "Security": Demagoguery runs Amok Among disedified Minds. They say "Freedom" and "Democracy" as if it vindicates their Totalitarianism.

You don't seem to think with Reason; root Chakra so loud and gratifying. So very much louder, and as if that makes it right, and as if it makes up for all that lack of self control: You don't seem to think with Reason, your root Chakra is your puppeteer. Playing with Fire, One gets ******* burnt. What did you expect? Then again, you don't seem to think with Reason. Unbalanced Root Chakra; so very loud and gratifying, leaves you cracked and empty; hollow. Wallowing. I know this is hard to swallow, but, do you follow? You bring it on yourself! You called it down, summoned it! You played with Root Chakra Fire and we're all still getting burnt. You might have saved yourself, but I am still enduring it; Each time I think of Love, Pain instead comes to Mind because that is how those I have Loved have treated me. "You're such a good person", they've said. Hah! That's either ******** or just insincere, 'cause they've sure as **** shown me what it is they thought I deserved: Reap the words of one you've broken down. Behold the Wrath you've ******* sewn about! Dark Actions propagate dark Feelings; Face the repercussions of your Actions: This is a Reflection of you! This is a Reflection of what you have done! This is no appeal to Guilt; for what good would that do? -- I guess we must think differently, and that's fine. I guess I am just so offended 'cause I hold *** with reverence; To me, *** ******* means something, and I thought of *** as an extension and expression of our Love and not just another ******* Addiction. Turns out it was just another ******* Addiction and you got your ******* fix, but where's mine? You've become just another ******* Addiction that I am now forced to quit cold-turkey. Just another addiction. (I was) Just another addiction. (You are) Just another addiction. Just another ******* Addiction after all.

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.

Keeping Warm
The professions of our leaders are paraded across longitudinal and latitudinal vistas. However, I have to ask: Whatever happened to the possession of that which is professed in our contemporary shell of delusion? A princess may depart from her Celtic docks in order to sail back to her Anglican roots; and the fabric of high society may display an appealing veneer which covers explicit nakedness in the name of mass psychology. So, my articulate propagate of conformity, I urge you to don the profound tuxedo at your avoidant desire. But please do not seek for me to enter into the denial of our core identity. For those who are willing to rock this boat of ludicrous salesmanship, I raise my glass to testicular rectitude which transcends gender stereotypes.

I want people to know That we don't have to fight each other We don't have to fight ourselves That we don't have to suffer That it's possible for us all to live in peace We would rather justify war It seems like it's really hard for people To think of what life would be like If we weren't constantly at war Or fighting Or hating Or somehow condemning someone else Well it's those people who are causing the problems It's those people that need to be dealt with If it weren't for those people over there There wouldn't be any problems to begin with Do you see those people over there What right do they have to be here Taking up our space Taking up our land That's for us and us alone We have to get them before they get us We have to keep ourselves constantly ready Constantly waiting For someone to attack To destroy our way of life To upset the status quo That we have established today I think we need to be willing To change the status quo sometimes Because the status quo as it is Is just not working As long as we continue to feel hate And we feel like we need to be at war And we need to hurt other people To propagate the status quo We will never be able to live in peace And know what it means To live in a world without war

A world without war
I am a Muslim, not a terrorist. Don‘t judge me because of my religion. Don‘t judge us all the same. My religion teaches me peace. My religion teaches me love. It tells me to show compassion, not what you think of us. I have only one request. That I‘d kindly wish you to look beyond the hate and hurt, and see Muslims are just like you. Peaceful. Loving. Caring. We have families too. Terrorizing and vandalizing isn‘t Islam heritage. Muslim, Catholic, Atheist, yellow, black, white, men, women and children. We are all born to this world for a purpose. We are in a world full of discrimination, based on our religion, color, nationality and gender. Yet, they propagate Islam with a bad image, wich is a huge damage. They call me terrorist, they call me danger. I‘m feeling like a stranger. Remember, there is only one world and it is all for us. We Muslims are the holders of peace, we spread love. Why am I being represented by their false actions? They say that they are Muslims and they say, they stand for Islam. If they are Muslims, their actions would show it. Muslims stand in prayer. Shoulder to shoulder, to stop the devil winning. A terrorist kills someone and Muslims are blamed, a Christian kills someone and he‘s just a ****** Violence is not Islam. Terrorists are not Muslims. Alhamdullilah I am Muslim. -Nura

Not a terrorist
. Let's go searching. With hand over heart to Set the pace, you can guide our Way through goosebumps. We'll search Close and thin for meaning In fears we're yet to shed. Let's go falling. We'll feel fuzzy headed When the bough breaks With a crisp crunch and We'll leave to chance Whose fall needs fixing. Let's go shaking. We'll let blurry white stars Propagate in petri dish Pupils; A shudder At the brink with Nails buried deep. Let's go dreaming Dreams of finding Soft sands stretched limitless: A place to land Where respite paints Over sanguine lips now still. .

It is believed to exist; It is often what we as people strive for; Something for which we are prepared to persist. Perfection is a drug, perfection is a demon; Perfection is what often makes us forget that we are human; By virtue of expectation, We engulf one another in clouds of smoke; Creating a screen for ourselves, Causing one another to choke; We make it a burden for others; Make their lives unbearable, Yet we ourselves never want to bear this yoke. Perfection as an ideal isn’t bad, It has brought man to, and through, Millennia where men believe in themselves. Man, as a creature, will never fly, But we have inventions that bring us perfectly close. We’ve created environments that allow us to do things at lightning speed; We’ve more or less streamlined our every need. But that’s what we don’t get! Perfection, however lovely, will forever be an ideal; We all need to understand that it isn’t real; Like most things on earth, perfection is relative. I’m not , for one moment, suggesting that we stop being competitive! No, not at all! All I suggest is that we stop burdening one another; Be it you friend, wife, husband, father, mother, sister or brother. The societal norm of giving each other 10 crosses at a time, With no apparent reason, is only going to cause the issue to deepen; Propagate itself, as we bid humanity adieu. Do not expect what you cannot give, That, for me, is the better way to live; And if you can give something to others, Try and not expect it back always. For we are all human, And can only dream of perfection in any case.......

**And the Lord spoke in dreams serene to he, a righteous man within his years, of mankind's folly, of wickedness, the Earth to flood with Heaven's tears. 'From the face of the Earth I will cleanse fowl of the air with feathered wing, only two from each kind will I spare neither man nor beast or creeping thing'. 'An Ark to build is My intent of Gopher wood, three decks high, many years will thou toil and sweat but labours fruits will keep thee dry'. 'For thou art blessed, a blameless man and secure shall be with thy kin and with sustenance, I will provide for all upon this Ark, you will abide within'. Then at God's command, throughout the land to each and every creature, two of each, male n' female both to save ... to propagate their future. So from every forest, from every field from every byre, to every beach bird and bat upon the wing, all that crawl or walk, procure, just two, two of each. Then on marched they, tooth by hide ever forward, onward bound fur and feather side by side to board the Ark, upon the ground. Of the days when Noah walked with God thirty score were his measure in years and through forty days and forty nights the deluge prevailed, for those pioneers. For the fountains of the deep were opened and the windows of Heaven gaped wide upon the face of the Earth, the rains fell and the oceans they blossomed, world wide. Upon the face of the waters, the Ark rose until the highest peak with waters advanced for the days in number, one hundred and fifty drifting upon that mighty expanse. Then the 'Lord God' remembered Noah and caused the great winds to blow wiping the tears of Heaven away and closed tight, the deep fountains below.

Wayfarer, walk with me down the open, crumbling road. We’re two surviving souls-- billion year old molecules binding our hearts, muscles, bones and nerves winding-- let us go back to the beginning, before the time of sinning, to the start of our creation, before government or nation, to find the garden and lose regarding-- regain our innocence. The sun, rain and wind will test us-- we’ll build shelters of hides and bones, pick berries and sharpen knives with stones, play bone flutes and gut-stringed lutes, and **** nothing without reason and prepare for each change of season. We’ll take our water from the glacial melt. Our fashion will be the furry pelt. Of course, we’ll remember poem and song-- for they were never wrong; art was blameless. It was the only thing “Civilization” left us. We’ll spark fire with pegs and strings whirring, friction, small kindlings into fire; we'll sit round and tell our history-- marvel at our ancestors’ folly, what mystery... We’ll write dramas and dance; we will honor this second chance. English we will remember. And French and Arabic, Latin and Hebrew. We’ll start a new language, or two. We’ll wash and sew condoms from intestines; this time, what we’ll invest in will be sustainability. No need to propagate the earth-- it is fruitful enough already. Only to be in harmony, a place neither above, nor below, others-- the animals and plants, who are our sisters and our brothers.

After the Apocalypse
Pinecone, to seed, to sapling, to tree. Egg, to chick, to bird of wing, Seeks to mate and all repeat. Pinecone, to seed, to sapling, to tree. All living things on Earth it seems, Do propagate in a continuous cycle of life. Beyond our human ability to over think everything, are we really any different? Does thought merely confuse the issue? Perhaps we be, too smart for our own good.

lessons of life's sanctity, clarity of reason and chastity elude the sociopath unglued; clouded lens filtering threads of sense common from extreme, relishing shreds of conspiracies unfounded... tying the falling dow and twin-towers... to call of duty and the man.... in the slick blue suit with the funny last name sticking it to us, stripping us of our inalienable rights, god-given, taking our bibles and guns away to mombasa spiraling memes of dysfunction programmed to propagate fallacies in minds unhinged on the fringes of reality... like paranoiacs sipping green tea or a.m. fanatics fueling the frenzy of sociopaths unglued, licensed to spill sacred blood of the masses at a crowded school or movie theater near you now previewing: *~ mass homicide XII & ~ teenage terrorist in black - the sequel* home-grown & fully-loaded... ~ P (Pablo) (8/5/2013)

Sociopathy 101...
I believe most Americans are appalled at the wanton gun violence in America today. Surely the ****** of young children is revolting to almost everyone and begs for some action. But what can we DO about it? I mean REALLY.. really. Republicans want to arm themselves more, while democrats use these events to ******* to gun control fantasies that either cannot pass as law or will be struck down by the courts. I’d like to propose a real, actionable solution. We would announce this plan in every high school in America, propagate the offer in every morning announcement until further notice: Any young man (or woman, let's not be sexist here) who, in their heart of hearts feels sufficiently motivated (kill-crazed) would immediately be sent to Ukraine where they could **** real Russians to their heart’s content. They would only be trained if they wanted it, only be part of an organized unit if they desired it, they would be armed on arrival or they could bring their own initial arsenal if they had it at hand. Once they achieved 200 certified Russian kills (this number is negotiable) they would be declared heroes and could either continue their good work or receive some sort of scholarship or cash. This is just one, practical idea - you, my reader, are free to propose others. This is not a joke, not sarcasm, irony or parody - let’s actually DO something, shall we?
