the warring will always be with us

some people
always some people

the warmongers will be with us always

some people
like death and destruction
killing of innocents

“they blowed up good!  they blowed up real good!”

well, hey!  you know what?
you wanna keep your warring ways
and blow shit up

keep it to yourselves
find a neutral ground
fuck
go to the Moon or Mars if you have to

but leave us “innocent” peace loving folks alone

 

somethingness


Zen......

Zen…… (Photo credit: Moyan_Brenn)

that something
the feeling that you have turned
a corner
a new page
a new leaf

a feeling of arrival

but it’s still the same world
same people
same problems and worries

but you
you see it through different eyes
like the blueprints of some great plan
you had no idea
was unfolding

for you

that something
when the doors all open your way
at your command
in anticipation

not because
you are in no hurry

it’s just that the Universe
now anticipates
your arrival

and that is the Zen
of what you mean
and who you’re meant to be

your True Self

turn of the Screwed


Screw Holder: Second attempt

The turn of the Screwed
chewed and distillated
spent on dime bag dreams
and empty beer cans

to everything
there is a season
but not in my back yard

not having it

tell the neighbors
over fence posts
Oh! We don’t do that any more

it’s texts and tweets
and updates floated on a place
called CyberSpace

just LOOK!

at everyone ignoring everyone
looking so important
just waiting to be discovered

little do they know
little do they know that
every spider ever manufactured
in a Tin Burton Dream
is just as qualified to climb the Golden Ladder

climbing
status

give me MY space
and I will write all over it

and listen for the empty echo of applause\

vindication
profanity
not redeemable
for cash

twist ‘n’ turn on a eucharist rotisserie
feel the lapping flames
blasphemer

cogito ergo sum
give me a smile
and smack me on the ass, coach
look at me, dad
i’m on the team

in the dark places
strange fungi sprout wings of old
and fly among the fly and hip

damn that short term memory loss
been smokin’ like a freight train

drop out
drop in
just don’t pay attention
it’s all just lemming dreams

the woman gave me to eat
and i did eat
yes i did
you got a problem with that?

never never never
underestimate

the Spirit will carry
and carry on
it is not the Spirit’s toil
spirits do not toil
they dance like the lick of the flame
and flicker
as you would have them flicker

never mind the prop-a-ganda
we have physics to distract us
and scrabble
and keno

what’s the real Issue?

never mind

 

unwashed, unshorn


trapped animals

the known associates are scattered
to the four winds
to the four winds

eating dumpster donuts in the ruins
washed ashore
unwashed unshorn

there’s a season to gather the stoned together
there’s no reason to give one little goddamn
there’s an answer to but one question
where the Hell is Hamsterdam?

washed ashore
unwashed unshorn
washed ashore
unwashed unshorn

the known associates are gathered
at the four corners
at the four corners

beating drums to bring the sky down
cast aside
the habit died

there’s a season to gather the stoned together
there’s no reason to look for what you can’t find
there’s a question you should be asking
and the answer’s never mind!

cast aside
the habit died
cast aside
the habit died

the known associates are gathered

*never underestimate the resourcefulness of ordinary people

 

and the hum

the hum of postmodern civilization is no lullaby
it is the hornets’ nest that gives you no rest
and the hum
and the hum
and the hum

screens and cameras and phones and drones
vomiting their messages all over the senses
and the hum

the sounds of tires on wet and busy roads
is it any wonder we go deaf and blind?
and the hum?

 

a wastleland of memes

a wasteland of memes
and broken dreams
no longer moth like

like this
like that
trolling for dollars

a wasteland of Broken Heroes
dreamer’s nightmare, sinner’s woes
tower of Babylon

fiasco
in plain sight
extracting soul’s memories

on display
for all with morbid curiosity

programming tweaked
to torture weary souls

games
requests

look at me

look at me

my left nostril


Nostrils before

Nostrils before (Photo credit: jeffandmandyg)

you understand people, you understand? i had a crystalline entity in my nostril, in my left nostril,
and discarded it without giving it full consideration… a crystalline entity inside my left nostril… curse
the memory, i remember not the year or circumstance, we played so many games of dice snorting in
between rubbers, but once, once, i had a crystalline entity in my left nostril, and i failed, i, i failed, to
pause to consider this crystalline entity…

i slighted a crystalline entity, that is my crime…

Yog Sototh is comin’ to get ya!

First, this poem is partially inspired by reading The Illuminatus! Trilogy by
Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea.  It is a short, metaphysical ramble
of a poem.  I hope you enjoy it!

 

 

 

prayers
entreaties
recanted confessions

made in haste
laid to waste

morsel for Yog Sototh
foolish belief
that He had any mercy
or Love

to begin with

 


On of Arron’s shorter poems, but still deliciously Arron!
