Healing Thyself

The next time
you feel overwhelmed
by life's many frustrations
look in the mirror,

take a deep breath,
and apply a little tolerance..

Forgive the core source
of your angst
with all the maddening
shortcomings
we imperfekt angels
are weighed down by...

There is always room

for self forgiveness

Only then

once this challenge

has been accomplished

can we can proceed

to make amends 

with those fallen friends

we are currently out of sorts with

Cotton Candy Commentary

I guess

at this point

of my development

it's safe to say
that I lack
a lot of knowledge..

I know

my cranial database
stores a whole lot less
than the sum of my vast ignorance..

And yet...

like the majority vast
I post opinions
on a variety of topics
based on fractional info
even though
I carry the realization
that my slant is backed
by minimal information..

Of this I am certain...

Opinions are like asses... 

Everybody has one...

Though some assholes

are bigger than others

All these could have beens
piled neatly in a corner
keeping the shadows company...

I've been advised many times
to leave these dropped possibilities be...

Do not dwell in the land of Never Was
but given my current situation
how can I not give consideration
to all the opportunities I may have missed?

Over Thy Line

 

Invisible boundaries...

Ghost barriers man made...

Artificial contrivances
men have fought to own
over the bloody centuries
under the pretense
of nationalism..

Religion..

Ideology..

A false sense of cultural superiority...

and the forever over utilized

guise of national security...

All fake rationalizations...

Cause such pointless aggressions
get blurred and buried

by the indifferent winds of history...

A force that does not give a shit

about the vagaries of geography..

Just the faceless carnage stats

for assigned casualty sheets

stored deep in dusty war archives

Hit and Run

Time to spice up my material
with acceptable cultural touchstones
to make it more digestible
to the mass audience
flipping through view portals
in 20 second increments
seeking quick
and meaningless entertainment bits..

This poem is over the limit...

Jesus.. Guns.. Babies ..

Pro Life Christianity that will kill you with a Second Amendment chaser if you dare pray from a different book...

Or possibly just maim you maybe if GOP Jesus takes pity and takes into consideration your White Privilege
