ON ENLIGHTENMENT

Sadness, sorrow,

lies, deceit,

hope for the morrow,

madness, deep shit,

trials, tribulations,

poverty and riches,

anxiety, patience

vanity and vain wishes,

joys, triumphs,

sex, perversions

blow jobs and humps

religion and other diversions

just do it all

for its total experience

even if it means you fail and fall

in name and appearance.

For these and more are all strewn

on the path to fulfillment

that have been hewn

for your own enlightenment

A LIVING MIRACLE

I don’t believe in miracles

I simply live it.

Inspite of many obstacles

I’m an unworthy miracle

At thirty I was expected die

Inspite of being repairable

I’m a living miracle

I still remain alive

Inspite of illnesses incurable

I’m my own miracle

I continue to be alive

Inspite of your being cynical

I’m just a miracle

Who is still alive

Inspite of friends so ineffable

I’m an unanticipated miracle

That everyone thought would die

Inspite of not burying me alive

I’m indeed a glorious miracle

For I’m just a word to go by

Inspite of being made up of one syllable

TEN WORD VERSES ON SILENCE

Silence is the song of the wise;

Oh! So nice

Silence is golden no more;

it’s pure platinum for sure

Silence will not kill you;

only loose tongues did slew

Silence is the language of God

whispering unto the bard

Silence is more persuasive than talking

or being convincing

Silence helps me listen more

than talking ever does know

NOTHING IS FREE IN THIS WORLD

Nothing is free in this world.

Even the Sun, the Air

and the water so cold

are not actually free for sure….

You  gotta live right

to keep the Sun burning bright;

you gotta keep the air pure

to live long for sure;

you gotta keep the water clean

if you want to avoid being a has been.

Nothing is free in this world.

Even the Sun, the Air

and the water so cold

are not actually free for sure….

WE ARE THE WORD - VERSION II

Words are all that we are

words are all that we have

and only words can give

all that we ever have

for we are the “Word”

and the word is God

as we are in the image of God

and the word is the Lord

not you, me or our sword

nothing and nobody is powerful

except the word

for the word is God

and we are the word

so let’s thank God

who made us the word

beholden of the Lord

WE ARE BUT SLAVES

We are but ordinary slaves

and posses the mentality

of simple stupid knaves.

We are slaves of rationality

as well as technology

without any humanity

We are slaves of our habits

and reproduce with proclivity

for we are worse than rabbits.

We are slaves of our senses

And continue to live selfishly

Without coming to our senses

We are slaves so beastly

Of Masters in temporality

We are slaves so measly

Of our own morality

We are slaves of many Gods

And their God men

Who are mere frauds

We are slaves of women

And lust for their organs

We are slaves of sex so common

And end up with abortions

We are slaves of food

We are slaves of water

We are slaves who are not so good

We are slaves of sons and daughters

We are slaves of our parents

We are slaves of our environment

We are slaves caught in many dragnets

We are slaves of the moment

We are slaves of communism

Or we are slaves of democracy

We are slaves of socialism

Or we are slaves of the aristocracy

We are slaves of communalism

Or we are slaves of theism

We are slave of all the isms

And yet we are in a deep chasm

Yes, we are slaves indeed

Who assume we are free

Slaves in thought, word and deed

Our own Masters we cannot be

our minds we need to remove to be freed.
