Hypocrite

Go be a hypocrite

Condemn varieties and deviations

Fondle, feel, foul – you love them

A bit of cheating, an occasional lie

Ridicule and destroy your enemies

Badmouth, threaten, steal

The contrary variant of life

No acceptation of imperfections

Yet the folly of the non-existing perfect

Poor white as the pristine snow

Utter and write most complimentary applause

Thrilled and elated at the newness

The potato scrap pile

Discern and walk quickly

No hold up – make a speech at the corner

Landing the good fickle reception

Yet so much water under the dam

Talk of happy, healthy thoughts intrude

How great is this and that

Instruments more effective

Writing and verbiage exciting

Complimentary teaching “not easy”

Thinks will get better – much better

Dare Risk, Travel to the Moom

It seemed that I dared

To climb the stairs toward heaven

Effort over a millennium, or was it timeless?

A spiritual goal pursued in this endless universe

No pure maidens in the reception line

Just me, newly arrived, still in motion

Without direction, decisiveness, where to advance?

Torn between space, life and the ticking clock

While the ultimate brain conjured, matriculated, digested

Gasped, overwhelmed, in hypnotic fashion

Is it my arrival or my escape, or the inevitability of the day?

Some have purpose, desires and goals

Some follow their love instinct, or destiny

Some must lead and conquer

I myself motivate the everyman

Every grain in my body  still demands freedom, choice

Every right I have to climb the staircase to freedom

But even if you dare upward to heaven

One must ask for forgiveness

As you leave loved ones behind

Leave your tools, though you still possess a keen intellect

Almost stripped down, a passenger, daring

With destiny around the corner, belief still questioned!

So up and up, isolated from all I had but my brains

A voyager, I risk life – wondering for what?

For posterity – they don’t care. Eternal honor

Soon to forget and superseded

So a risk-taker, plunked down my wealth

Accepted, aged, hope to bring sanity

To experimenter’s, ego drive, vanity and famous

Or just join a historic event coming for the advent of a new ride

Safety and terminal cancellation as Iast into the rocket

Now to please the leader, all a risk. Take off.

Observe the rocket into the hemisphere –good takeoff.

I am now helpless on the rocket airship to the Moon

Call If Life

Frivolous and foolish with fervor we worry

What do we wish for today? What to buy next?

How to handle a touchy situation?

Dire news event take personally, confuse our brain

Yet enjoy our usual shower, breakfast TV show

There is a schism, a divide

For we are complicated, creatures

Habit, tradition, personal value system

Almost unshakeable, real, within our ID

Chew our way, doggedly move on

So we work, we love, we cry,

Ever so quickly spinning hopes into fairy tales

Yet must live with our own boundaries

After years learn to try live within ourselves.

Even dare love ourselves as we love others

Yet all is the here, the now, the personal

The family, our immediate surroundings

So ponderous, rich, loving and some hostile

As we do sustain, do survive, laugh, smile

Celebrate the fleeing birthdays and call it life

We Hugged

We hugged – that’s all

In our pajamas sometime around 3 or 4 am

We hugged – that’s all

The warm body pressed the seconds into hours

Then back to sleep again

It was a deep, strong

Commitment by two loving people

One of them was me

We hugged – that’s all

 Memorabilia for Mars

With patience nourish yourself and help replenish the earth
And when you grow old, infirm and crooked
Remember, you have done your part
Seeded and harvested
No tree can ask for more as it sheds its leaves

There will be a day –
When the earth crumbles
And all humanity scrambles away
on huge spaceships with all goods, inventions
Memorabilia for Mars

Momentary - you are temporary
And as you daily rise
You will fall

But never your spirit determine
You have been chosen in this time,
this place to participate in the greatest theater of life
Go - play your part
And when your time comes
Your spirit will mesh with mine for eternity

 Ever Yearning

Rules are to be broken

Laws disobeyed

Total freedom

Rejection of all but the self

On a high pedestal

Anarchy supplanted by dictatorial

Magical oratory bedazzles

Drowned out by horrific percussion

All so futile.

Deadly, bloody

Each has followers

Spurn the rational

The compromise, the balance

Stirred by body chemicals

Like rubber bands

Stretch from one extreme to another

Unseen turmoil

Deadly storm on the horizon

Nature omnipotent

Kneel, bow down, and prostrate yourself

We are but grains of sand

Washed, tossed, sunburned

All so transitory

Some live more than once

Our shadow blinks and disappears

Into ashes from the mold of birth

Ever yearning 

An Eventful Day

The morning wakes

Somewhat warm incoherent

Open summer day

My choice for this Saturday

An open world

Arms held out from horizon to horizon

Almost like Moses holding the tablets

Of the Ten Commandments

With ample choice to fill

The precious hours

All mine to choose

So positive and hopeful the spirit of the moment

Open door and window begging

Dreams to fruition and reality

All I can do is try, to meet my challenge

An air of quiet peace

Like water poured to fill a cup

So too new thought collate

So many choices

So many possibilities

It's going to be an eventful day

Struck off my life's calendar

For who knows how many we have left ahead of us!
