Education is currently being used as a weapon to arm the educated to defend the system. Question the system. Go out there and equip yourself for the right belief. Be a dreamer. The dream is beautiful. The problem with dreams is that you don’t know the dream has turned into a nightmare until you wake up. Are you awake? Be awake. The problem with being awake; we need to rest. Lucidly dream. Be lucid. The problem with being lucid; you’re lucid. There was a dream not long ago. The dream was beautiful. We liked the dream, the dream became ours and we slept. Slowly we all grew tired. Those that did not need to sleep, those that did not like our dream, we treated like children. We know that we need to rest and we were tired. We left our children to starve. We forced others to sleep and so, we forced our children to sleep. Even in our sleep, we forced others to sleep. And so the big dream grew. It became nightmare. We all dream. Be aware of others dreams. Be aware of others while we sleep. Be aware of those that sleep while we awaken. When you wake and see your siblings rest no longer. That their dream, once ours, has turned to terror. The problem with dreams… We force our children to sleep. Is this bad? Always question. Should we force them to wake? Force can create. Force can destroy. The problem with being awake, when we know our brothers and sisters sweat in there nightmares; we have a choice. That is not a choice to wake them or not. To hope for the best. That the nightmare will end and the dream will return. A dream that has travelled through the terrors of our minds will not return the same. Would you like the red pill or the blue pill? Is there good and bad? Force can create and destroy. Be mindful of how you wake. Be lucid of how you force others to wake. Tea or coffee; a cigarette; some breakfast; some fear? Use balance. We are all unique. I have a personal story. As I wrote this, typos occurred in the original edit. The technology, ‘swipe’ was used.  I meant to spell unique and unite was spelt. Personal became powerful and with turned to WE. Is there a reason ‘i’ should always be capitalized? ‘i’ wish to be mindful of my readers. ‘i’ want to stay true to them. We that can read are the readers. ‘i’ am the reader. When I isn’t capitalized I began to feel more comfortable with using it, if i gave it arms; ‘i’. And when I typed to explain that, I went to preferring if isn’t typing out ‘and then i and then ‘, to just type two of them; ii. We don’t want to be alone. There’s no I in teamwork but there is and I in kind. I is complicated. Be you. Find your voice. Have a voice and be aware. Others have a voice. What would happen if we all respected each other’s voice? What would happen if we all had the same voice? That was the beauty of the dream. The dream is travelling through nightmare and is slowly returning. It has changed. Unite our uniqueness’s. Do you eat fast food? I love it. It is a dream… Do I eat it all the time, I hope not. Ken Robinson is a good man to ask. Consider food for the mind. There are beliefs out there. There’s a belief out there that our world is ****** Forgive the language. Understand it. I wanted to say, ‘that our world is doomed; eternally ****** to be destroyed’ and that scared me. **** There will always be nightmares, disaster and destruction. What is an ‘aster’? Curious. When did we chose to destroy; each other? Could we create; each other? There’s a belief out there for that one too. Are you awake, yet?

well, first Mae West died and then George Raft, and Eddie G. Robinson's been gone a long time, and Bogart and Gable and Grable, and Laurel and Hardy and the Marx Brothers, all those Saturday afternoons at the movies as a boy are gone now and I look around this room and it looks back at me and then out through the window. time hangs helpless from the doorknob as a gold paperweight of an owl looks up at me (an old man now) who must sit and endure these many empty Saturday afternoons.

sit and endure
(co-written by Sharon Robinson) Baby, I've been waiting, I've been waiting night and day. I didn't see the time, I waited half my life away. There were lots of invitations and I know you sent me some, but I was waiting for the miracle, for the miracle to come. I know you really loved me. but, you see, my hands were tied. I know it must have hurt you, it must have hurt your pride to have to stand beneath my window with your bugle and your drum, and me I'm up there waiting for the miracle, for the miracle to come. Ah I don't believe you'd like it, You wouldn't like it here. There ain't no entertainment and the judgements are severe. The Maestro says it's Mozart but it sounds like bubble gum when you're waiting for the miracle, for the miracle to come. Waiting for the miracle There's nothing left to do. I haven't been this happy since the end of World War II. Nothing left to do when you know that you've been taken. Nothing left to do when you're begging for a crumb Nothing left to do when you've got to go on waiting waiting for the miracle to come. I dreamed about you, baby. It was just the other night. Most of you was naked Ah but some of you was light. The sands of time were falling from your fingers and your thumb, and you were waiting for the miracle, for the miracle to come Ah baby, let's get married, we've been alone too long. Let's be alone together. Let's see if we're that strong. Yeah let's do something crazy, something absolutely wrong while we're waiting for the miracle, for the miracle to come. Nothing left to do ... When you've fallen on the highway and you're lying in the rain, and they ask you how you're doing of course you'll say you can't complain -- If you're squeezed for information, that's when you've got to play it dumb: You just say you're out there waiting for the miracle, for the miracle to come.

FLAMINGO’S SIGHTINGS
The most painful goodbyes are the ones never said and never explained. A smile can hide the tears. A laugh can hide the pain, but nothing stops the longing to have you back again , our Momments of laughter will never be forgotten. It seems like it's a dream but it's reality. In loving Robinson Pujols                                              1990-2012

I I am often attracted to things unhinged. Not necessarily (traditionally) romantic, more akin to an unwillingness to ask permission, one who might say It was never your permission to begin with and not be angry or upset about having to say it. Few are so willing to evaluate situations without the overwhelming cloud of emotion. Judgment fully withheld, kind banter catching wind. A needed immediacy. Jean-Michel Basquiat was aware of the past. He pretended to not care if you did not like his paintings. Part of him was upset some people did not understand. Basquiat strangled history down to basics: music, culture, society (not the same thing), generations of family after family. His point was not for you to obtain this. This was his conscience—tangible. Brain processing. Synthesizing. To him it was so simple. I refuse the word primal because it is misguided, it does not factor purity, clarity. Sugar Ray Robinson told Basquiat to stop painting the background. Tuxedo told Basquiat what words to place and where. So much of my art is stripped and lucid and enacted with only me in mind.

I have shared in my time the human illusions, the muddy foolishness and craving passions. But something years ago pulled me out of the tide-wash; I cannot even pretend to be one of the people. I stand here with open eyes in the clear air growing old. Watching with interest and considerable nausea, this time of the demagogues, the shifts of power, and the pitiless wars that prepare for the fall. But also the enormous unhuman beauty of things; rock, sea and stars; fool-proof and permanent. But as for my children, I would have them keep their distance from the thickening center, corruption never has been compulsory. When the cities lie at the monster's feet there are left the mountains.

The Old Stonemason (Robinson Jeffers)
Once I looked to the Bard for words profound; ageless, his wisdom ran unabated. Yet Hamlet is now ideologically unsound, “the slings and arrows” historically Iocated. I wept for the creature of Frankenstein, spurned by his master, forced to roam the Earth. But I’d been subjectively positioned in a paradigm by Mary’s anxiety about childbirth. I read Balzac, Hardy and Henry James describing “worlds” which seemed quite sensible. Now Eagleton’s exposed their bourgeois games I find them morally reprehensible. I dreamt of being Robinson Crusoe or proud, fierce Hawkeye in his buckskins dressed, but Fenimore and Defoe have to go, they’re culturally encoded and empirically obsessed. Inspired by Guinness, did James Joyce sit down to see what magic flowed when he was ****** The stream of Ulysses floats Bloom-about-town dreamthinkingnever : “I’mamodernist”. I’d gladly give Woolf a Room of Her Own and be one of the boys with Hemingway, but sensitive guys leave their bulls alone say de Beauvoir and Luce Irigaray. No more fun with Wordsworth being daffodilly, no simple pleasure reading Mickey Mouse; Steamboat Willie can’t help but look silly dissected by Foucault and Levi-Strauss. The Bible shows intertextuality says the two Jacques, Lacan and Derrida. Judas, a construct of bisexuality? The **** fixations of Herod are? It’s got so bad I deconstruct a holiday brochure. I can’t even **** without Roland Barthes and Ferdinand de Saussure.

LAMENT FOR LOST LITERARY COMFORT
Jackie Robinson is exalted as the first Black man to play, but far fewer fans remember Glenn Burke, the first ballplayer openly gay. Like Jackie, he played for the Dodgers- (different coast and a different time.) Glenn came up to the Majors In the summer of 79’ Burke was strong and tall and fast And some teammates called him “ King Kong” Though he roomed with Reggie Smith on the road most nights Reggie Smith slept alone. Burke befriended Young Tommy Lasorda which was why he was traded away. Old Lasorda couldn’t deal with the rumors, Nor acknowledge his own son was gay. Glenn Burke rode the pines while in Oakland Billy Martin never gave him much chance When Burke injured his leg in Spring Training That ended his time at the dance. He drifted, his playing days over, He used, he stole and did time. An accident left him a ******* Unprotected *** ended his line. No shock was the A.I.D.s diagnosis- His sister had long known he was gay. When she took him in he was dying when all others turned him away. Sandy Alderson, with the Athletics, took pity on Burke in despair. The team paid for his A.I.D.S. medication and covered the cost of his care. Sad is the fate of the Athlete unsung, dying apart from his team. Glenn Burke showed that a gay man could play, That a Gay Athlete also can dream. Glenn Burke passed a long time ago But his story deserves to be told. He said when your suffering, dying of A.I.D.S. Even days in the summer are cold.

Main and master goal I stand in gaze In a gaze that admires you I stand in amaze And wonder And wonder why all these thoughts ponder Why these thoughts take priority above all other These thoughts of you That has lit a liquid-oxygen combusted fire And now I stand trapped Trapped in this legitimate feeling of attraction My concentration depleted My heart weeps Weeps for the dungeon I've fallen in My heart weeps It weeps like a waterfall Tears that keep running down the face of my heart Your voice that resonates in my soul Like a viral infection that has pierced my heart Your beauty has undressed these naked eyes Now The only thought I have is you My heart has changed its pattern into... Into a pattern that spells your Name I close my eyes and echoed images live in the darkness of these shut eyes Your voice has broken the silence in me For I have savored it You relentlessly entered my heart Engraved your name on it Slowly I'm tearing in the inside I'm going insane Pain, no! Affectionate attraction, Yes! A weeping heart I have A weeping heart that is manifesting it all As in my manifestation I ought to be the leader of the nation inside me The creator of my inner creation Forgotten about the future I live in the past of your creation For all that entirely matters in the near future is: My main and master mission In vision with my main and master goal Past the sleepless nights' tension Past the deception of animations artificiality and into all reality Past my minds permission; it's approval Exceeding my potential but placing me in that position Disregarding all competition I stand and watch in 3rd person perspective My heart has risen like dust Even though it's dark my shadow has betrayed me; your smile shines through like lights rays The visible weeping heart is translucent My thoughts have become wishes Wishes exceeding my boundaries of limits Because my mission and master goal is for you to be mine...                                        By: Magnus Master Robinson

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” ~ Maria Robinson The story we are living, Has ended it’s beginning, The ending we are nearing, Will change if we are fearing. The ending’s final show, Will depend on all you know. And everything we’ve learned, Has been a treasure earned. The way we shape our fate, With our bold excess of hate, How the pain’s inflicted, With the way our lives conflicted. The start has ended poorly, But has not ruined the story. The ****** may bring light, Our fancies may take flight. But somehow we all know, That the ending’s final show, Will be what we deserve, Unless we cause a curve. Our independent hate, Should now disintegrate. And every single conflict, We should finally end it. We should make our new ending, Differ from our beginning. By doing what is right, The ****** brings us light.

I've changed my ways a little; I cannot now run with you in the evening along the shore, Exceptin a kind of dream; and you, if you dreamt a moment, too see me there. so leave awhile the paw-marks along the front door where I used to scratch and go out or in, and you'd soon open' and you'd soon open; leave on the kichen floor the marks of my drinking -pan I cannot lie by your fire as I used to do on the warm stone, nor at the foot of your bed; no all the night through I lie alone. but your kind thought has laid me less than six feet outside your window where the firelight so often plays, and where you sit to read--and I fear grieving for me-- every night your lamplight lies on my play. you, man, and woman live so long, it's hard to think of you ever dying a little dog would get tired of living so long. I hope that then you are lying under the ground like me your lives will appear as good and joyful as mine. no, dear, thtat's to much hope: you are not cared for as I  have been. and never have known the passionate undivided fidelities that I knew. your minds are perhaps to active, to many sided... but to me were true. you were never masters, but friends. I was your friend. I loved you well' and was well loved. deep love endures to the end and far past the end. if this is my end, I am not lonely. I am not afraid. I am still yours.

The house dog's grave, by robinson Jeffers (1941)
Close your eyes now and you can see it A quietly flowing stream The sunlight through tree limbs You are in the mountains again, if only in your mind And if only for a moment Time and time again I would think about it And other times I would write about it I’m in a cabin in the woods alone and nobody knows and I’ll come back to civilization when I want to if I ever want to again I will grow what I need or steal it if I have to That’s my dream I guess The kind of solitude that drove Kerouac to Big Sur “Something good will come of all things yet” He whispered to me “Golden and eternal just like that” That’s the dream I hope to wake up to But for now I wake up to closed curtains and toilets that won’t flush properly and all the weight I have gained since high school I’m a wanderer but not in the way I hoped I wonder down aisles at work I wander back and forth from my living room to my bedroom And my mind wanders every moment The words that leave my mouth are never what they were in my head I wonder if anyone takes me seriously And sometimes I’m afraid to write it because I don’t want anyone I know throwing back any validation I don’t need I’m a **** good man but I sure as hell ain’t happy Happiness is so fleeting regardless I’m not happy but I am content Let that be my concern Don’t fret over me And don’t remind me who I am or tell me what I do I know that I live that Let me talk **** about myself if I want to Let me pat my own back by myself If I need I’ll ask Just give me the space I need To introduce myself Give it Time You’ll understand Close your eyes now and you can see it A quietly flowing stream The sunlight through tree limbs You are in the mountains again, if only in your mind And if only for a moment

I only have one photo of Grandad from his years of service in the Great War, and in it he’s wearing a leopard-skin leotard. My paternal grandfather, Grandad, was brought up in Brockley, South-East London In his teens he was conscripted and became a gunner sergeant in the Royal Field Artillery. I still have his stirrups and his French/English phrase book which includes useful words, like dysentery, (think of the movie, ‘War Horse’, and you’re almost there). He fought in the mud in France and put a lot of horses out of their misery. Apparently, he enjoyed the stage – a song and a dance, and almost went professional after a string of successful nights at the local Roxy, all of which makes me want to have known him better, but he died in my teens. He laughed a lot, loved his vegetable garden and had a collection of handy-sized, hard-back books giving details of how various circuits and wiring worked. I recall his bear of an armchair and how it was in easy reach of a slim stack of shallow drawers from which he would take slender tools or small curios and sit and explain their significance to my bemused child self. I have the brown photo somewhere - it’s not one I’d like to frame as it raises too many questions for me. Like – is that bloke next to grandad meant to be Robinson Crusoe? Like – what prompted grandad to ‘black up’ from head to toe – is he Man Friday? And now, I stare at the photo handed to me by my friend of his grandfather, complete with rifle and medals, and again I silently ask my grandad – why?

WIMBLEDON COMMON Wimbledon common Was always the place to go, Catching the train from Streatham The family all aglow, Sandwiches in a paper bag Thermos in a sack, Plastic sandels and tennis racket Not forgetting the cricket bat. Everyone was skippy The sun high in the sky, Dad had his umbrella But the rain was shy, Jumping from the platform Down a row of steps, Brother took a tumble And that was that. Plasters in a pocket All was mended soon, Finally recovered Felt over the moon, Reached the grassy stretches Whoops mind the dogs, Come away from the lovers They're out for a jog. Find a shiny tree trunk Horizontal on the ground, Four happy people Tuck in to raspberry jam, Now for the thermos Plastic cups ahead, Here come the wasps To eat our jam and bread. Later penguin biscuits And a trip behind the bin, Dad puts out the wickets Let's see who wins, After a quiet session Brother looses his cool, Slings the bat skyward You should see it go, Mother looked upwards Covering her head, Just managed to miss it Landing on the hedge. I went off walking To gather pretty flowers, Dad hid under the paper We had a quiet hour, Clouds gathering slowly The sun going down, What a lovely day in the country We're now homeward bound. In memory and gratitude to my lovely mum and dad Grace and Eric Ayton- Robinson who always did their best. Love Mary **

Elizabeth Barrett Browning, the Rossettis, so blue and George Meredith were around were so new..... American poets noted Longfellow, expounded E. A. Robinson, devoted Elinor Wylie, and Edna St. Vincent Millay, astounded.... Sonnets make us sing makes us laugh cry with saving grace brings universal themes of love mon behalf..... Keep writing those sonnets all you wonderful and many more poets, keep wearing your bonnets that we all adore...* Debbie

What is a Sonnet
When you ask the right question and get the answer you hoped wouldn't come When you find the truth and it's what you wished you'd never see You can feel it in the back of your mind The tension That feeling in your head that things aren't what you thought and they probably never were It's something you gotta sweat out before it clogs up your brain and your heart All learning is alleviation of tension All decisions too You can't run from it and you shouldn't want to In dialectics you have thesis, antithesis, and synthesis What is, why it shouldn't, and what must come next I promise that I'll never come to a final conclusion about what Anarchism really means Because anarchy means standing up for your neighbors Anarchy means letting the people you care about have the choice to not have you in their life Anarchy means embracing what you love even when it kills you And maybe it's up to me to make each day worth living To get out of bed and have a good reason for doing so Because some of us have to carry the baggage of being awake each day And some of us live their days painfully sober carrying the pain of emotions unhindered But the pain I feel now is as meaningless as the imaginary lines that separate countries or the flags that fly over them My pain is meaningless compared to the knowledge I stepped back so that you could live life according to what you want Because being an anarchist means living life in accordance to what you think And that's always been hard for me For once I knew exactly what I wanted But I also knew deep down you weren't ever as sure as I was And here we return to the tension The tension that has kept me up a few nights and forced be to go on long walks until my feet hurt instead of my heart The tension that left me feeling like nothing, but not in the way Max Stirner intended it So instead of hiding this tension or letting it eat away at me like so many times before I have to live according to what I think So we have the thesis: looking for stars through a wall of clouds and the hope I had in my heart The antithesis: uncertainty and a sentimental past two steps ahead of me The synthesis: Realizing that I need to let you go

The Anarchist Tension by Alfredo Bonanno by Daniel Robinson
