Paths I, viii

Awakening to the morning sun
   We accompany the birds and sing
   Our thankfulness for light of day
   And render this our offering. . .
Humble gifts of selfless action
   Toward a world in harmony.
      While seeking love and brotherhood
      Along the dimly lighted way
      We cast aside evil for good
   Finding actual Reality.
The quest is made with devotion
   For the future Humanity
   To evolve its true Identity.

Epiphany on the Palouse – E. Education

While doing research for my new book,
THE METEORIC RISE
OF THE THIRD RIGHT SANS GRAVITY,
Subtitled, “The Magma Farta
Of the Third Millennium,”
I had to acknowledge that Rush
Must be right:  Millions and millions
Of lemmings can’t all be wrong headed
Wrong headed.

Epiphany on the Palouse – C. The Oath

I promise to solemnly wear
The Joe Friday Only the Facts
Badge number seven fourteen,
With mirror, as a reminder
Of when Mussolini Jones read
From the Temple balcony:
Discovering that Poet & Audience
Were not only One,
But the same One.  Death to Poetry!
Became Birth of the Second Law,
And the NonPoetry Movement.

Far Away
```
Far away the children play
In a world shrouded in innocence.
Let them play—
And learn to deal with life.

Today – Tomorrow
```
   Today

Can I totally relate
    My inner feelings
    And experiences
To You?

I think not,
But I must try. . . .

“Once Again”
```
Once again;
        Back to the hub,
        Back to the center.

Drop all pretense,
Remove those masks.

Take a look in the mirror;
        Honestly,
        Nakedly.

“We become strangers to each other”
```
We become strangers to each other
And also to our selves.
Our paths have strayed
Although we are together.
Friendly bonds grow
To become what they will.
A painful re-acquaintance is undertaken,
For we stand at the crossroads—
Of love?

“Dreams built on sand”
```
Dreams built on sand
Crumble before our eyes
And we cannot understand
Why it is so. . . .

Dreams cascade
Like waterfalls
From a sky of rock.
