Bring Out Your Dead

It's the call to arms for the educated tigers
The miscreant saints in the high-rise Babylon's
Crusading for pleasure in cobblestone discotheque
Down their Rhoads and Damascus of Friday light sapphire
Credo alone - swept into the ravished torrents of desire
Drowned in ravenous feelings for junky blue dealings
For this is the call of summers bee songs
saying bring out your dead bring out your dead

These perilous streets were never made for the old
But the lost boys and girls caught in the dreams of fools
Stealing the stars to mince their Sequin and Fedoras
Through their I phone icon of ephemeral idolatry
Show the office disciples fueled in paparazzi bibles
Wanting fame in the name of the virtue of shame
Bleeding hearts always empty to the pastimes of avarice
Which you hear in the strobes screaming bring out your dead
Bring out your dead

And through your Rimbaud's eye I see De Sades soul

Black or White (Sorrow Poem)

Today your sunrise is a cold black hole,
The sky-black emptiness burns you blind,
Blue doesn’t care if you’re black or white,
There’s no drug to stop the pain of blue,
Tears are salt and blood is always red.

Tonight your night’s a star-bright stage,
A silver spotlight laser-lights these words,
Blind before the poet works a magic spell,
Tomorrow sunrise red and sky clear blue,
Electric-sharp your new addiction’s buzz.

Living your life in three dimension verse.

Don't look...stare.

There is a light that is greater than any man made device
A light that shines brighter and longer than the entities in the sky
A light seen and felt by all, blind or otherwise
No wires, no circuits, no need for man's electrical current
More encompassing in travel but much harder to handle
Attraction is inevitable for it is more appealing than neon sculpture
Laser light is impressive, but this is more piercing and aggressive
A commodity it is not, but those who have it are worth the lot
There is a light that is...

Wonder and Fear

Many, including I, often fear the future.

We fear life - because it's not concrete - because we cannot, and will not, learn it's mysteries.

Because nothing is certain.

And those who prosper - can thank only luck

How can one keep the good in mind? - they ask

I ripped a page out of Whitman, so that no matter where I went, I would always remember to celebrate myself.

For our atoms would keep each other company.

How can one overcome mortality whence the fall begins? - they ask

Up There

Up there in the Universe
The stars twinkle with endless promises
A myriad welcoming hand
Sprinkling scintillating stardust
To encourage us to join
The real world;
The world of ultra technology;
Mind over matter,
Time conquests,
Death and all;
The world of endless possibility,
Hidden and logged somewhere
In the ever mindboggling realm
Of aliens who had since ancient times
Bewildered our fortunate ancestors
With flames and angels,
Flightcrafts, laser beams,
Light beaming robots and the ever
Important moral lesson to keep
Everything going.

Antigravity

Antigravity is my hypothetical force to be wolf,
It shouts and barks up at us in ways of antigravity.
This alien-wolf is lame, is conniving, is deserting me,
When this wolf beams on me when it’s blast off!

Bionic features sophisticatedly blast the skies
With improved propulsion of technology;
Belts and kites are improvisations,
But these inventions are not those inventions.

Antigravity fell in laser beams of height,
Weigh those earthlings in ways known to God.
God has emptied their sin and made them repent,
Short and sure is the antigravity-technology.

Sometimes

SOMETIMES

Sometimes surprising sweetness sweeps souls shy,
Amity allows as all appear
Now naturally neonats, nor near
Drear Death’s demesne deigns dawdle, - dares defy
Reactions ready-made, responses rye.
Iconoclasm isn’t insincere,
Nefarious, notions new ne’er sneer.
Endearingly expressing ethos eye
Vouchsafes virtue, vileness vilifies.
Appreciate all arts, able adhere
Idealistic, in intentions clear.
Lighthearted lady lead, leave lewd lust, lie.
Latent loveliness’s laser light
Announces Now The Acrostic Novel Tight...

Can Colour claim to read between the Lines? - 0732 - Initial Version

Can colour claim to read between the lines
And paint fey portrait of each secret smile?
Nuances noting, can it reconcile
Chance extrapolations, sundry signs
Of the mind's ambitions, the designs
Link-locked within a bandwidth waves's confines,
Open doors, which, hidden seem to guide
Unexpected steps to answers bona fide.
Response and recognition each defines
Coded motives which tastes rainbow's shines
Laser beams of truth which will abide:
An insight into what occurs inside.
If from truth's spectrum something's infra re[a]d,
Much ultra may be drawn for years ahead.

Re...Motivations

Motivations vary, life's scheme stream
Advances under winds of time and tide
Unties response/reaction knots, fills dream,
Destined idea[l]s in harmony abide.
Empowerment and Destiny may seem
Contradictory, common sense defied,
Our free will's voice for choice may weave Way's theme,
Refuting seasons' treason reasoned ride.
Real zest within maintains truth's laser beam
In ways few dare decypher, spirit guide
Ever reflects reflections unforeseen -
Reel karmic? Knowledge? Matrix seek and hide?
All life's [s]pent s[t]age enacting causal link:
Seek cause/effect? I AM because YOU think...

Electric Eye

Up here in space
Im looking down on you
My lasers trace
Everything you do
You think youve private lives
Think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape
Im watching all the time
Im made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
Im elected electric spy
Im protected electric eye
Always in focus
You cant feel my stare
I zoom into you
You dont know Im there
I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove

Crossroads

I'm at crossroads
In life
In a land forlorn
Alone and torn
Far… far away
From the buzz of life
No one in sight
To turn for help
All signs faded, unreadable
A cold winter day
A cloud filled sky
Things look bleak
I look out for a break.

The peeping sun's pencil of rays
Making a spectacular laser show
At the horizon yonder
The paths are many
Which one to take?
I take delight

DNA Stargate

I give in, in light of the evidence, I have to
admit telepathy to be real, biological Inter-
net communication seems natural among
everybody – just allow me to add that

Real knowledge do not seem to transfer
through the instinctual system, I am only
aware of emotions and feelings, state of
mind - information remains obscure

I am hooked on feeling and atmosphere,
love my job not because of what we do,
translating such boring texts, but for the
magical atmosphere created by

My lovable and loving colleagues, to work
for Pollyanna who puts a positive spin on
everything, have a Mme La Pompadour
for excitement and a caring Wendy

The bear (? )
I come up the river
Like beat man
I come up the river
Like skoke man fly
I come up the river
To kill many people
I come up the river
With laser gun
Dear uncle, dear uncle, dear uncle
Dear uncle, dear uncle
Your son just had intercourse
With baggy breast
Your son just had intercourse
With death debbie
My mommy didnt hold me when I was young
She didnt give me breast
And went insane

Corporation Property

[Jed]
Shes in her own world
Celebrity girl
She doesnt know what lifes like down here
Shes been sold, shes been bought
Corporation Property
How in this world can she be happy ?
(Chorus:)
How can she sell herself so blindly ?
Her imperfections disguised so finely
Adored by so many but nobody knows her
What will she tell herself when shes older ?
She shows off her skin
Delivered to sin
A pre-packed teenage fantasy
Identity lost, but at what cost ?
Advertising property
How can she wake up to reality ?
(Chorus:)
Absorbed in a world of lies and illusions

He Man Army

HE MAN ARMY

If I were to be given a free license to kill
whom should I aim and shoot at first
…..not those innocent birds or beasts
nor the menacing tuskers or man-eaters
I would prefer to terminate every corrupt mean rogue

but, God is there and has to punish such souls
I have no business to step into His shoes
Neither, He delegates powers in me to be on this role
nor myself a man of virtues to launch a crusade of my own

yet, I would be one among the God's ‘Demolition Squad'
fully masked with laser - guns, in wait for His NOD
to wipe out every evil within split seconds
restoring peace and order, turning EARTH to its original kind.

Train

Plastic brain scar
I want laser
I'm your chauffeur
With high gloss highs
Take you where you want
Can't stop, oh off the train
Train, yeah, yeah, yeah
Wolflady
Sucks my brain
Apricot
Sunrise came
L.A. nights
Just roll in
Can't stop, oh off the train
Train, yeah, yeah, yeah
Nasal douche
Poolside line
Softlit tan
What's your sign?
Hold my hand

A Canadian's Poem(3)

what i want to do is
spin poetry center stage
set humanities focus

send science slingshot to head

boil dry obscurity
of subconscious womb

shine laser-blind
of superconscious activity,

make movement first principle
morality fashionable

trample all
human security tramplers,
then

bring it all together

Mirror

A thin flat pane
Of unblemished glass
And a reflecting plane
Of sputtered aluminum…
Mirror …amazing mirror
A symbol of fashion
Image of civilization
Right turned left
Again reflect
A self-portrait.

Mirror on the Hubble
It's Newton's kind
Exploring the universe
For all mankind.

Laser and mirror
Worked together
And gave this generation
An all new communication.

Old photographs

Old photographs are dangerous things
if you have a jealous girlfriend, fiancée
or wife
who enquires when she sees them
and wants to know everything
about old flames,
why they left and with whom
and then tries to be a cleansing broom,
to sweep everything right into the dustbin

and when at a party, at the cinema, at a restaurant
or even on the sidewalk in the street
you meet someone who is depicted
in a photograph

the girlfriend, fiancée,
or wife
leers at her with killer eyes
as if a laser rays are going
to blaze to dissolve, to destroy
