"redily" poems
A flatulent king sits Slouching, scratching, Congealing to his throne of gold. His army of a billion men Are clad in ****** bibs And grins. Equipped with hate And hollow eyes They stand redily assembled.   The king is a miser. His face is a lie. His motives are equally clear. Royal subjects within the walls Respect only of weakness and fear. They are taxed and harassed. For knowledge they're knived. The wisest of Wiseman Are forced to take bribes. Their children are taken and Hidden away At the mechanized dawn That announces each day To learn to be Ruthless and cruel. To take advantage of fools. Greed and malice are tools to be used At their s and m brainwashing schools. So their eyes turn jade And their words turn black As they cut up their hands Stabbing themselves in the back. They're just being taught How to buy and be bought. To serve the king; A gear in his machine. The ones who concede, Buy into the greed But their weakening teeth snap! One by one As they go round the vicious circle. So they end up Defunct, Sunken eyed. They dangle their Dot spangled Hands at their sides. And although they loose, Somehow they win. They end up running The world we live in.

America the Bombastic
Life is a sacred journey. No two are the same. Respect for divergence is paramount to a holistic experience. Life is not about status-quo or expectations, t'is simply what's made thereof Lyphe is a sacred opportunity not to be taken lightly Our Bodies are our umbilical vessels which tether us as mortals to "Reality," which, in itself, seems to me to be a reduction of potentials from chance to actuality such ephemeral eternety; infinite limitations; actualized potentials; possible paths- these are but some of the koan-like attributes which lead me to use the rather ambiguous and ambitious term "sacred." Truly, it becomes whatthefucksoever One may well will to create thereof. Action is Manifestation, yet Thought begets Action. Therein lies the sacred gift of Life. 'T'is all too oft taken for granted. Every living being (i am convinced) has an equally vivid depth of experience and I find it more than somewhat offensive that humans (with a lowercase H) feel they are the penultimate organism. All is One in that existence, itself, tethers us all to everything and probably even beyond, and so to be so hubristic and arrogant as to assume a hierarchy so convieñantly crested by mere **** Sapiens Sapiens* seems to me to be an anthrocentric and narcissistic projection of that meddlesome ages-old archetype of the "Ego," that is to say "God," whatthefuckever that means! Find it in thyself to be humble enough to accept that each and every iota of "Creation" is, by virtue of association, equally sacred; divine. Heirarchy, thus, seems to be a manifestation of some desire for order; control; a yearning to alleviate some hypothetical insecurity as a result of being essentially "absolute, infinite" (vis-a-vis the domain of Consciousness) yet contained within a vessel that is mortal, and, thus, ephimeral. The Ego doth so loathe it's own limitations: too bad it's far too arrogant to realize that most of the limitations it experiences are illusions, allusions; charades of an insatiable Consciousness Hell-bent on experiencing something it won't redily allow itself to experience! What a Holy fuckton of incredulous, ineffable, impalpable, inspirational **** that would be, eh?! (insert interrobang) I am me (I think...) as thou art thee; so why can't that just be good enough? Could it be? What obstruction precludes such harmonious divergence? I reckon 't'is but us; and very little else, indeed!
