brilliance


Brilliance

Going through 
Old papers 
Containing -
Brilliant thoughts and 
     Ideas 
And plans 

- filled up a whole sack 
Of that -
For trash
- can't have too much 
Brilliance
- don't have 
Room

Every day in 
Every way 
Throw something 
Out !

Go through old stuff 
And sift
And sort 

Different things are 
Important now 
The time is running 
Out 

Many things 
would have happened
      by now 
- if they were 
     Going to 

This used to make me sad 
Thinking why not "I"
Why shouldn't I have 
What I think I 
     Should have 
And even better -

     Some wonderful things 
Which haven't even occurred 
To me 
Yet

But now I know 
A brilliant thing -
     - having enough
To eat 
And 
A place to sleep 

Is the best idea 
Yet

Cease Fire !!!

Cease fire 
Oh 
Thank God !!

Decide not to shoot 
     Each other 
Any more

Just -
Decide that 

Make up your 
Mind 
To it !

And while you're at it 
Don't change your mind 
Again -
Ever !

I've had enough 
I am old enough 
To realize 
That patience 
And tolerance 
Are necessary 
In this life 

In this coffee place 
The baby starts to fuss 
So the mom begins 
To breast feed 
Right here 
Right now 

It's what we all need 

Food 
Shelter 
And some 
     Fun 

Breast feeding in public 
Omg
In my growing up world 
This would NEVER 
have happened! 
We were bottle fed 
On 
Corn syrup
And 
Canned milk 

Omg 

No wonder the older 
Sister died 
     At one year old 
And I have a few problems 
     With health

So now we know 
The baby needs 
That food 

We can change 
We can learn 
We can grow

The world needs 
To stop fighting 
To stop "greeding"
And to make sure 
We all
Have 

Food -
Shelter -
And 
Some 
Fun.

Greetings

Peace and hope 
Freedom and wonder 
We have so little time
Left 

Let's not waste it fighting 
Let us realize 
What's important 

Let us 
Take care of 
One another 

No way to do this 
But 
To raise our own 
     Consciousness 
Each and 
     Everyone 

We are the vibe 
We find 
Inside 

Our connection 
With 

For free -
Our own -

Just like everyone dances 
Their own 
Tango 
So 
Do we all know -

We know it when we see it
And feel it 
When 
We meet 
     ourselves 

Within

Human

There is this guy
Has a utube channel
All about his life
God bless 'em -
And now his mail-order wife
God bless 'em -
My best friend and neighbor
Was and is such a bride
I do not fault her -
To do anything to get out of
That poverty
And out of that way
That they treat women -
To come to these United States
To be treated like a human
Anything
To get out of that poverty
And hunger
The guys can think that
It's true love
And it is -
Love of freedom
Freedom from fear
And want
And hunger

Have a child or two and be safe
And warm and dry
And have food
And be treated like
A human being
Yes
It's love
Take it for what it is
It's love -
For immigration
For papers
For food
This is no small thing

We do what we must 
To survive 
Even -
Put up with 
You

And the dude 
Believes in love 
In the fantasy 
He is not bad 
He is just sad 
And a little 
     Lonesome 

God give us strength 
Everyone

Hats

Here we all are
In spinning space 
If we just stop a moment and
Reflect
     A moment -
We can then reach 
Some sense of connection 
With

That bit of contact
Is precious 
And well worth giving up 
A bit of rushing about -
     For it 

We haven't got 
That much longer to find 
This joyfulness - 
Within 

Secret is -
It belongs to us 
As our right 
     - Bought by 
Being here 

They may tell you 
It isn't yours 
And belongs to someone 
     Else 
(They most surely will) 

They will make rules and schools 
 - And add robes 
     And hats 
Have you noticed that
It's always hats -
Hats for this 
And hats for that -
It seems they fight wars 
About 
Who wears which hat
Or cap, or scarf -
Just so
Who can wear what 
And when 
Upon their head
Or cut their hair or not 
Or beard or 
Lamb chops 
Sideburns
Or not
Why is it anybody's business 
But ours ?
I wonder 

This spinning ball 
We rest upon 
Will probably not be disturbed
By headwear
This corner of the galaxy may 
Get along quite nicely 
Without 
Knowing about 
The headgear perched upon
The puny 
Human

God bless us


God Bless Us Everyone

Sitting here 
Waiting for blood 
To be drawn 

I've been dizzy for 
     A week -
Dizzy broad !

Feeling very sorry 
For myself -
When -
In the waiting room 
The conversation begins 
With a gent 
Who's been diagnosed 
With 
Cancer !

Oh good God -

The question comes -
Why do you do this 
To us ?
- An all powerful God 
Could just as easily 
Mandate! 
No Suffering, No Pain -
And 
Enough stuff 
For all 
Of us -

Simple 
When u 
Sit on clouds 
All day,
Wave one finger
And galaxies spring 
Into being 

It is a lesson in letting 
Go -
Some say 
-this could just as easily 
     Have
     been mandated by 
     the flick of the cosmic 
Fingernail-

Are we beneath 
Notice ?
God's own son 
Had to suffer 
So !
(Little birds and lilies 
Of the field 
Have every hair 
Numbered!)
(And they toil not -
Neither do they reap!)

I give up 
I don't know 
And yet still 
Here we sit
Still -
On the horns 
Of the dilemma 

Maybe that's why the ancients 
Worshiped Bulls -
Two good horns 
To sit upon -

I doubt it helped much 
But probably better than 
Believing in absolutely 
Nothing -
At all
