CLIFF HANGER

Standing at the awry edge of a fiscal cliff hanger

to some a bad joke, for others a cause for anger

solemn faced senators pushing for favorite dish

what will come out of this is coerced to be fetish.

Close your eyes for an instant, make your wish

the bells are ringing, I’d better get ready for this

a monetary economic monster is about to crush

this is the presumption, based on financial trash.

Federally reserved hollow zeroes placed in line

the delicate balance of the dubious with the fine

as the story goes on, the ceiling of debt is raised

for this accomplishment the puppeteer is praised.

People who have much, have to bestow as such

with this deduction, not everyone can be in touch

likely to put decent, honorable folk in lousy mood

for the yet unborn children, this would be no good.

VIRTUAL WWW

For a moment deem this possible dream

the presence of your self in cyberspace

animated with total movement capability

parallel journey of induced virtual reality.

Full interaction in the World Wide Web 

you can exist any way you wish in here

roaming at your will all over cyberspace

with the voice, personality, of a real self.

Dreams could be realized a distinct way

I have been working on it night and day

that stupendous day is not too far away

could even be tomorrow if I had my say.

SUBORIGINAL TREMOR

Integration of raw primitive reflexes
In discerning subtle modern scruple
Stretching Primitive-Modern polarity
Into coalescing of the opposite ends
When horizons curve into each other
Psychic powered lightning will strike.

AT THE EDGE

Change is inevitable
one way or another
sooner or later
it will take place.
No need to resist
just grow into it,
whether you let go
flow with the grain
or resist the change
persist on the same
would stall the game.
Your aptitude to skim
can alter at the seam
the nature of a dream.
The mastery of poise
can put you in charge
should you so please
make yourself at ease
in hard times like this
just go with the flow
how the wind may blow
can determine the show.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT

Some worshippers have their faith well polished

as they tend to prayers to wash away their sins

begging for forgiveness, beseeching for things

not understanding the nuance of what it means.

Most believers are waning, wanting and begging

only few are humbly thankful, simply affirming

there is the odd vindicator ranting and grunting

demanding satisfaction, grudgingly complaining.

Real faith is just a matter of believing in good

prayers are consummated seeking for the truth

my quest is sharp focused, I will not be fooled

will plead abstraction unless otherwise assured.

.

DUE RESPECT

It is delusive to command total respect

unreasonable to expect such an aspect

except when we accept the unacceptable,

this paradox also deserves some respect.

Could you respect humility, vanity, cruelty

can you respect insanity, not without pity.

Absolution of respect starts with yourself

clear acceptance of the darkest regions.

What can be more deserving of respect

than being true to yourself in all aspects

being able to share yourself accordingly

with everybody, is this too much to expect.

The life of a suspect has a shady prospect

knowing one's self is imperative for sanity

chicanery don’t command my due respect

honourability is the resolution of humanity.

Discover what the surface can not show

understanding is a prerequisite to know

as one could grow flowing with the grain

rhyme and reason, takes care of the pain.

QUANTUM

A point of view could be a serious liability 
when a person is approaching the future.
An objective view should have to consider 
all possibilities concurrently in the hither.
When a first hand experience is occurring
whatever imagination may render possible
might be feasible in eternal time and space.

.

SHED

The pitiful grievances I sometimes hear 

goes through one ear but does not clear

gets stuck in the mind, therefore I fear

it may not come out from the other ear,

I have to forsake the pain with a tear.

.

BLIND FAITH

When we look at material bodies 

we see shapes of solid things

not an illusion in a real sense

variations in structure of space 

appearing in a physical phase.

Particles are not as they are

all was given to us as a whole 

not one here and another there 

subject and object are simply one

this will manifest once we're done.

A barrier was not broken down 

such an obstacle never existed

the outer, the inner are present

opposites curve into each other

in the infinity of time and space.

We need to have blind faith to range

the will power required for a change

since we carry in the dormant stage

the latent forces we inherently have

which we end up taking to our grave.

.

ALERT

Intelligence is an open wound, treat it with wisdom
cunning is the by-product, can be schemed at random.
What is truly from the heart, enthrallment for empathy
could be brutally squandered by condescending apathy.

BALL PLAY

Here is moving past 

the ageing sorrow 

to kick the bucket 

scare the chickens 

who fouled the waters 

with steroid pollute. 

I swallowed enough

while still at school.

With bloodshot eyes 

I salute you all, 

in raging fury 

am a little dreary, 

here comes the ball 

I kick it abrupt

I kick it high 

to score a goal 

right into the sky.

Let me ask you why

 you ate the cow

 before I figured how

 to drink the milk?.

I am on my way

 to the forgotten land

where they dish the news

 in tomahawk scraps.

It has been a while

since I caught this bug,

reluctant to leave

without a hug.

The brass is shifting

in gushes of denial,

they'll be smuggling

the Sphinx in a while.

Ancient nation drifting

right down the Nile.

.

AUTOMATISM

I have been experiencing fits of automatic scribbling
when the hand grabs a pen, fingers move erratically
no conscious direction, vigorously scribbling on paper
instantly words of unknown origin rushing through ink
devoid of meaning, only what the looker is perceiving
it is like being a medium of extra sensory channeling.

.

NECK ON LINE

I have been blustering a point of view
loud and clear, I’m saying what is due
freedom of expression coming through
the butt is exposed, neck is on the line 
I'll take my chances, hope that'll be fine
I have no intention to engender a crime
no point in me beating around the bush
I speak out my mind, don't need a push.

IMPLICATION

The depth of your being

encompasses hidden forces

with the potential of expanding

the traits which are on the surface.

What was suppressed can be provoked

latent powers emerge once they're evoked

those dormant energies can easily be tapped

once they are detected and carefully unwrapped.

On one hand there will be many benefits to contend

yet such an intricate process should inevitably depend

on an attitude, the purpose of what a person might intend

whether it is to dominate, exterminate or create and amend.

.

COMMUNICATE

We often communicate as we fail to realize we are mis-communicating 
Even in the simplest terms it is a matter of expressing and interpreting
Beneath the veil of the surface facade there is the language of signs
Gestures and tones, familiarity with the person, and the subject helps
To understand a true feeling and also relate to what the other is saying.
Mostly people appear to communicate just to avoid trivial arguments
While there are others who force communication with a gun at hand
We all know two times two makes four & two plus two makes sense
Hence we conduct conversation not as communication but pretence.

.

MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL

Layers upon layers as my memory traces

fading faces within faces of distant places

many lucid visions have been squandered

washed against remote corners of my mind 

where the faintest ideas gather and season

longing to be set free from the grasp of reason.

My roots have been severed, my shoots crushed

my memory comes and goes, I walk on my toes

my feet are slippery, I am behaving rather jittery.

I sleep well though, I witness myself in dreams

barely a child, still in diapers, licking my fingers

yet I can easily climb a tree, I feel so gingerly free

being exactly me, carefree, like it was meant to be.

When I wake up though, as my eyes catch a mirror

all of a sudden I am faced by a disturbing reminder

there must be an error here, I know not this stranger

a vexing feeling catches me off guard, I’m in danger

threatened by time, it is my fright that I have to fight

that's when I sink into blue ink, bite my lips and write

what I might think does not necessarily incite delight

I may be intending to banish all mirrors from my sight.

JUST LIKE THAT

A repose amongst fleeting visions
at an interval, a moment, an instance,
in a flash it goes, as though it never was
but something was captured, an impression,
which alters perception, accordingly a conception.
What appears is only relative to instantaneous capture,
as infinite possibilities are instigated at a moment's rapture.

.

NOTHING AT ALL

At the negation of inherent existence 
the mind is emptied in dire container
a head so clear when turned around
washed out of any evidence of doubt.
Nothingness is where all this sprouts
cherishing emptiness in utter silence
stillness of mind instigating harmony
all in nothing should set the soul free.

PARADOX

A riddle was put in place
an eternal cycle of change
that between feeling and form
there should be this interchange.
The bound searching for freedom
yet freedom is asking to be housed
in the safe confinement of the bound.

.

CONDUIT

I have been experiencing fits of automatic scribbling

when the hand grabs a pen, fingers moving erratically

no conscious direction, vigorously scribbling on paper

instantly words of unknown origin rushing through ink

devoid of meaning, only what the looker is perceiving

I am just being a medium of extra sensory channeling.
