The Modern World
A hundred years only, it’s hard to believe Since atoms were discovered! A poor Taoist would likely grieve That Nature can’t be recovered
Horse buggies to smartphones Outhouses to space shuttles Now electrons issue loans While compact discs are scuttled
The modern world, one might assert Is the tip of an historic sword Humanity its eyes avert While the future’s simply gored

All times.
All things being equal. Opinions also. Each new lifes a sequel. Original unknown.
From buckets to aqueducts. Contolling lightning to spark. Statistics from luck. Then light in the dark.
All times have screamed progress. Most can never extricate. Speed can bring a loneliness. If now is allowed to predicate.
These worries have always existed. Forever in a way. The game is just to twisted. To understand as we play.

Math is just a mystery Indeed, why should it work? Throughout all of our history A brilliance there does lurk We have various victories What a lovely quirk! It seems to be a function Perhaps of providence At the holy junction Of a fateful provenance Providing subtle unction And lately, dominance Or it could instead be The offspring of good luck Leading to a head free Of fretting about a buck The modern university Keeps such out of the muck The fact is, there’s no reason Why math at all should go Perhaps we’re in some season Of universal flow Will there be completion? Again, we do not know!

Don’t Disparage Thinking
All that thought is, really Is a form of reflection Dialectic projection To be exercised freely
A higher injection Gives thought forms their power And they naturally flower Antidotes to dejection
But just at this hour Thinking’s frowned upon New Agers want it gone Also meditators dour
And all this has spawned Thought-forms spewing hate Gurus, yogis of late By their acolytes fawned
The truth, despite fate Thought is indispensable Its absence indefensible At each twist and gate
What really is sensible Is thus: to admit Therefore to permit A sound notion ostensible
Thought, yes, can commit Cringeworthy crimes Oh, yes, all the time But it we must acquit!
I tell you, these rimes Must needs demonstrate Common sense, abdicate Nauseating ill signs
I must advocate That thought in its measure Is like a great treasure That may culminate
In usefulness, pleasure And it must be used! Must not be abused! But must succeed at leisure
So I personally choose To indicate lightly All must be mind-sprightly Or we all shall soon lose

Life and time with a rhyme
people in life living on a string no budget, such a fearful thing
And on life goes as it burns and floods the devil/live/evil/lived goes on and wants his blood
He is the the master of this world and beyond
Just a joke but those in power no wordplay but is definitely not like a flower
World is dying people, can you sense it or see it with your eyes those out of nature are so much like flies
They irritate and complain who to blame all the shame...blah.
On with it all, our live is not a draw, flaw, blah, everything is what it is.
God how people cling to shit Is easy to be free of it

Because
One assumption always made (And one that is a little played)
Is that all existing has a cause This is the deepest of our laws
But why assume everything must? We start from nothing, turn to dust
Perhaps Nature could simply be Accomplished enough, isn’t she?
But man obsesses over one word: “Why?” And never gets an answer, only a sigh
Perhaps this prerogative is purely local And all it really is, is man being vocal
Vocal, that is, in a robotic sense Pointlessness in the present tense
What if Creation did not ascribe The meaning to being that man describes?
What if “causes” are human ideas And not philosophical panaceas?
What if, in fact, there is only infinity? In all directions, a taut sublimity

Dog
“A man’s best friend” They always say And I think in all ways they are right They communicate They salivate In their eyes, a special, warm light
They are Dog! I aver The greatest of pets And a race proud and determined Ever to be kind And of a sweet mind Unconditionally to love, that’s for certain

The Fermi Paradox
If the cosmos is a neighborhood Where the hell is everyone?
A trillion galaxies, each with a trillion stars And total, deafening silence on all frequencies Some people have computed That, if you calculate very conservatively Using reasonable, under-inflated variables Space should be way busier
But there is no evidence, none, anywhere In any direction Of any disturbance at all
Some speculate about a phenomenon Known as the “singularity” At which point technological civilizations See their machines become smarter And more powerful And take over
Now, if civilizations are common in the cosmos AI would certainly flower in billions of places Igniting singularities And exponential growth But, alas, we see no evidence of this
So as Fermi wondered, “Where is everybody?”
I propose that all of this is logical Furthermore, we must also conclude That higher dimensions are a legitimate possibility That is, layers of reality deeper than ours
I feel they exist
And I feel they transcend mass and energy So we could have beings that might not Have any material presence in spacetime But still exist as pure information As pure consciousness In levels of Nature far beyond our own
So this may make it less confusing That there are no physical beings around The main dichotomy then becomes: How many species managed not to destroy themselves? If a few can get past that I think they have a shot at higher reality
But still
It’s awfully quiet…

The Meaning of Life
We seem to live in an age In which everyone asks “What does it mean, this stage?” With all our sundry tasks So many souls in a rage Wearing deceptive masks
It’s not as if this thought Is altogether without sense The answer ever sought Might be framed in every tense But it seems that we have bought Some answers very dense
Taking those aside As I say, it has merit Whither comes this ride? With everyone we share it Perhaps hitting our stride The query, we might spare it
Indeed, the seeming meaning Of the existence we see Relies on intervening As if to fully free To restore a gleaming Deep reality
The meaning of existence Is existing itself Developing less resistance On mind’s eternal shelf Being with persistence Throughout our conscious self

saddle back a bullet with no arrow pull it down and shoot it hard enough to lose it.
life so lucy electric fluid flowing freely cold and easy
bone cheesy spitting hits of godess greezy
actually birds of a feather flock the rock and make it wetter
off the clock pattern measure while I blaze on the trail I maintain in the pan
frying balls who I am
why my balls hang like bats
sick as rats trip town
off the map
down to hit the sack till my tongue becomes too relaxed to heat the fuck out of these tracka

The Ultimate Judgment
The ultimate judgment one can make Regarding other souls Is how much awareness a person has When it comes to seeing the whole
Not riches nor fame nor any success Is really an indication But degree of awareness of self and of world Is the only real true vindication
So enough of obsessing with money and power And regarding them as the rule Honesty, sight, and above all truth Are the actual blessèd soul’s fuel

Determined Soul
When I sit down to compose a poem The dynamics of my soul color the process But that is as far as I can go with honesty I myself determine nothing
As with any topic detailing awareness Intention is the foremost variable And, though my intention be pure I do not directly control what happens
There is herein a distinct interplay Between my awareness and my brain As information unfolds from the hot center It extends to my brain to be processed
Thence, through complex, unknown processes After evaluation has taken place The process further unfolds to my lower nervous system And, ultimately, my hands and fingers
This result then enfolds back the way it came And eventually, I have a poem So a soul and awareness I can call “me” Are in an interplay with my brain, through implicate fields
These make possible the wonderful creativity That all humans (and some animals) possess This Promethean fire is no triviality Indeed, it is all that sustains what is good in life

Barbaric Civilization
The most civilized nations descend Into a barbarity that offends At the drop of a seeming hat What was erect has become flat And every minister attends To remaining at the bat
It only takes the faintest nudge From ripe to rotten, social sludge Civilizations are born, and they die And one can hear the Devil’s cry When aristocrats refuse to budge But Hell shall claim them, by and by
I take it this theme makes some sense And I do not seek to make offense But many feel the truth of this Otherwise I’d be remiss But dysfunction’s getting nigh intense Forget, for now, about bliss

Light Mysticism
For, it’s true, many a year Man has been going through A darkness without any clue That he’s suffused with fear
That’s right, it’s fear and loathing A dark night of the soul Society but clothing The Devil, but a troll
Man shall soon awaken And what then shall he find? That he is in a special bind Essentially forsaken
We’ll awaken to the light In one out of two ways Through futuristic perfect sight (And that without delays)
For indeed the other wave Is darkness once again The amalgam of all sin A vector to the grave

Ego
Ego may have no essence That is, it may be illusory In that It has no objective foundation
Howsoever In order to interact In order to exist on Earth In any meaningful fashion Ego must exist
It must exist Insofar As we are equipped with Neurological circuitry That mediates Anality, territoriality and emotion In one fluid movement
So, one can say that When we are emotional Some part of our abstract existential territory Has been violated
We can say the same For when we exist in a hierarchy With a pecking order
The ego circuits govern The assertion of And response to Our status (Our power)
This circuit is also connected To the anus So we see that politicians Who are manipulating people At a reptilian level Are just chimps flinging shit
In any case Without these ego circuits Interaction with others would be impossible So we might not be so quick To dismiss These phenomena While acknowledging Their lack of a fundamental basis When it comes down to the orders
Of awareness And being
