Salute
7-6-13

Saluting all Earthlings and Martians
I am as a king that rules brutally exiled by the Spartans
In another dream of going there again with good intentions
That seem to get me nowhere
By the futility of useless inventions
To coin a phrase and to live out my dog days
And to apply my knowledge to life
In finding new ways thwarted by cul de sacs of hesitation
By our delays
Saluting all whom dwell here
Knowing that love will cast out all fear....




Flagellate
7-6-13

Of such flagellation and chastening
The consequence is beautiful and quite mesmerizing
Where we would be as bastards without such
In that we take for granted such a sense of touch
Leaning upon the pillar and rock of another crutch
Of another Radiohead all day diurnal vigil of sorts
Where the bible scholar still admonishes and exhorts....




Coinage
7-6-13

Of shillings and pence
We regard the wealth of past and present tense
Happy with one's lot and therefore more than wealthy
Sick yet healthy
Ungainly yet stealthy
Of drachmas and mites
We as people have human rights
With privelages of well being
That comes with this word of truth
Having somewhat yet to say of lines of age
By the beauty in ones youth....





On Luke 7:38
7-6-13

Standing at his feet behind him weeping
Watching and praying
I declare I am not sleeping
Where the tears have their way to yet heal these infirmities of our lament
Wherein we repent and to the harvest yet sent
To justify the money that has been spent
On that which is not our bread
Where I wonder
O, am I dead
Standing at his feet behind him weeping....
