Oxidation
5-2-11


I didn't care too much about the oxidation
In starting my coffee with cold water
As I'd underestimate its quality
In the presence of my brotherly guest
As I'd cater to his well being
In my own creation of inner peace and joy
Always available in the Now
Always accessible when indeed I choose to know.....


















Brave New Words
5-2-11


No longer afraid of the enemy
Nor intimidating myself
In uttering words such as cancer
Satan or even death
As last night I knew even a worse fate
In being hung up in my pash
Towards a lass named Beth
And the Kiss power ballad
That made me sad and sick
Where by a thorn from a rose
My thumb endures its prick
As my good night sleep of wisdom
Does its own succoring trick....










Ode of Autonomy
5-2-11


Yet to learn of autonomy
And self advocacy
Defined as no longer being controlled  by outside forces
Where God is inside of me
And not as something I need reach for
Nor chase after
By my own futile efforts
As, she today I esteem as more intricate
Than I can ever be
As I humble myself to her beauty
Yet praying that she will find the right man
As I set myself aside
By the coast of a sea
Quite vast, deep and wide...










For Rascal
5-2-11


In ways that yet succor
I see myself as quite vile next to God
And His righteousness
As nothing more than a rascal or a knave
Yet then again I can look at myself as in goodness
In considering God that is inside of me today
In knowing I'm already there
The moment I step upon the path and on the way to greatness
In a process of little by little
Getting there in this process
Of a higher realm of perception
A parallel of this self cultivation...
















Lord Willing
5-2-11


Faced each day with the probability of an untimely death
To say by my conscious choice aloud
If the good Lord is willing
Rather than boasting as if I am immortal
In all of this
For it is an inevitable reality
That we are all going to die once
To enter either a grave or an urn
Which is why I will live
Unto all today
In having much to learn.....










Betrothal
5-2-11


In good faith, fidelity and integrity
To pledge my betrothal to wisdom today
Loving to see things exactly the way that they are
The doors of perception are cleansed
Where again I consult Blake and Milton
Glad to count my blessing
Of living in my own Holiday Inn
Sheraton and Hilton
Yet to be elevated to excellensies
While humbled to the qualities of the base and low
Counting the blessing that today
There is nowhere I need go...










Current Event
5-2-11


Bing bang, Ben Laden's dead
So the people chant with joy
Yet we ought not rejoice over such a fact of life
According to philanthropy I must say
Where I seek to be as the peacemakers
And to love my enemies
And see them as my teachers
As I celebrate my today
Open to the diversity
Of Muslims said to be as contrary to us
Where we must come to an understanding
So that we can be at peace with ourselves...
