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.

Mathemagical


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!




Missed this...you had me at the title,)

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
