COMPARABLE

The one who bid
to buy a slave
was equal in detachment
as he who sold
the slave

Those who offer
sex services
of enslaved others
are comparable
to those
who dealt in slaves

THE NEXT COMING

She - Do it again

He - After so many times
You are bleeding

She - It isn't hurting
you is it?

He - No but

She - Well then don't stop
do it again

He - But why?

She - So I can feel you
there tomorrow
when you are
no longer here

THE WRONG TRACT

The persistence of religion
is definite proof positive
that brain washing children
with dogma is most affective

ONCE TOLD

So you have heard
the same story
before now

Being old
I rarely remember
to whom I
have told the story

Perhaps this time
I will have forgotten
how I told it
before

So this time
it will be a story
of a different kind
and in the end
a tale I've
not told before

ONCE TOLD

CAST AWAY

Ten thousand years
of bull shit in plenitude
should be most sufficient

If you still believe
such as resurrections
or in any or all of the gods

If you believe in saviors
or if you pray to anything
but to your self alone

If you still believe
in all the bull shit or
free golden opportunities

If you do not question
you are a true believer
you deserve hell's fire

But there is hope for you
pull your head out of your
very own puckered ass

For nature's sake
for all future human kind
stand up use your head

If lightning strikes you dead
no god will be involved
after all death awaits you

Those that desire heaven
cannot accept nature's limits
are unable to accept reality

That death is a permanent state
the only means of avoidance
is never to be conceived

Conception is a one way ticket
to this and only one life
death is the price we all pay

ANYWAY

Whither you go
go freely

Hold no grudges
against any

If you walk
differing ways

Appreciate each way
each may go

To whatever ends
life may lend

NO MISSING LINKS

We are the links
to the past
We are the links
to the future

We are the links
to all existence
We are the links
to whatever

We are a link
to the universe
and we shall be
until forever

THE ENEMY

Those who bless us
tell us that god
approves of our wars
so we may kill

The enemy are blest
by gods of their own
so they may be pleased
to kill their enemy

So I am the enemy
of my own enemy
that gods be pleased
ever into eternity

PETA AWAY

MY my my my
our president
he swatted a fly

We don't know why
he swatted a fly
nor if the fly died

Should we deign
the president be fined
or demand he resign

Our president
my my oh my
he swatted a fly

POTENTIAL FRIEND

As long as both
of us are headed
in the same
direction

Yes we are strangers
but as most friends
were strangers
once

Let us converse
about what's worse
or right about
mother earth

Or find we are
diverse or hold ideas
diametrically
opposed

Yet find one common
ground one idea
so profound to each
to breach the opposition
to be friends

ONENESS

Once you have found
the oneness
there is no need

Ever again for belief
based on faith

Knowing the knowledge
of being

That earth
is your eternal home

That all there on
and you are
forever interrelated

Even beyond earth
you are of the universe

You share the elements
of nebula the stars
the light of galaxies

You are of now
and the beyond
for always

Only in the knowing
in the finding
of oneness

Shall you be found
and contentment
shall be with you

For all the rest
of your days
forever

BIPOLAR

When you are bipolar
with the very least of care
take chance few would dare
clearance of an inch or two
to drive your truck on through

Accidents just seem to happen
while tripping down the stairs
having you right foot catching
while riding the banister that
launches you into empty air not
knowing where you'll land or care


The trees you find to climb
its limbs will hold you for a while
then accidentally let you down
never so very gently so
unexpectedly to the ground
testing your bones are sound

When you go walking under trees
or cycling along forest trails
you must be careful of the trees
for one may step within your way
or fall silently across your path
to leave you slightly flat

Early morning you left home
find yourself heading down
a road alone and you must ask
yourself why it was you left
in what direction did you go
where it was you were to go

Some days when you awake
it is hard to believe your state
you are so gloriously high
without a suspicion as to why
on such blissful days as these
joy could make a mad man cry

Then there are dreadful days
days of dark dismal despair
a desolation so profound
negation rules predominates
overwhelming seems endless
this state of even perverseness

OH! WELL

Is there no reason
not to appreciate
the element of reason
in substantiated fact
compared to faith
in the unsubstantiated

True no doubt reason
will not get you through
those golden pearly gates
but who has certified you
that that will be your fate

You depend upon the holy
men of heaven each Sunday
as they collect your tithing
here upon the very earth
as you collect your blessing
if and when you get to heaven

However should you find
yourself in hell
Oh! well

SIMULACRUM

Virtually similar
sufficiency of occurrence
within an acceptable
range of measurable
error that we can agree
that a bird is a bird
and a tree is a tree

That the difference we see
is only generally a matter
of acceptable degree
when no two of a kind
is a hundred percent
to any two minds

Of all such matters
which some or most of us
can not imagine or see
there is an insufficiency
that we should need to agree
and accept to disagree

UPSIDE DOWN

Pity the rich
they have so much
to lose

The money does not
trickle down
only trickles up

As salaries
of the workers
trickle down

A profitable
state of affairs
for who control

A majority of gold
assume they'r the ones
chosen to rule

Forever the poor
'til the system is turned
upside down

BECAUSE

Because billions believe
is no reason to believe
that whatever they believe
is true

Billions believe in gods
but only humans have declared
themselves to be gods
by god

Because billions believe
in imaginary beings
is no reason to believe
they exist

Billions believe that stars
determine who it is that they are
may not need to look that far
but within

Because billions believe
in the most unbelievable
makes it most reasonable
to be questionable

BY THE SEA

I've been dreaming all night long
where you sing a wondrous song
with your eyes you are loving me
as you and I sit by the sounding sea

When I awaken it is my wish that we
shall find ourselves by a deep blue sea
where you and I will join in song
to bless us for our whole life long

As we grow old and we turn grey
may we set aside one bright day
to return to that deep blue sea
my loving you and you loving me


Whenever life has dimmed our eyes
and life gently wrought our demise
may our ashes on water be set free
joined together within the sounding sea

ONE WAY

When reading a book
I turn back the eared corners
that others had turned and left

My shoes and boots
are lined up against a wall
like good soldiers in a line

I live in a small space
every thing is in it's own place
so I can find my own space

In the manner I was taught
return items where they were found
next time you will find them there

Leave locked doors locked
and closed doors close or open
their state may have been intentioned

If you leave early it is
most unlikely you will arrive late
which friends will likely appreciate
