Birthing II

With each new contraction chaos
Further shakes a society
Overpopulated with fear
And addicted to the image
Of a glorious history
Seen as manifest destiny

Unwilling to wake from this dream
Some attempt to halt the coming
Of something beyond their control
And ability to understand

Dream Fragment 8
```
Nightly swaying darkly
Through catacombs of sleep
Subterranean lives
Repeat mumbled questions
To echoing mirrors
Answered by meteors
Showering broken glass
On the highway of hope

Continue to The Promise

Nineteen Ninety One, May Day III

                       III
Alternating between “God Bless America”
And “The Star Spangled Banner”,
The marching band leads the parade
Down Main Street at twelve thirty-five.
Waving flags and sporting yellow ribbons,
Almost the entire population participates;
Leaving a very small audience
To witness this Declaration
Of Independence from Freedom
And the birth of the New World Order.

Man
```
Most males are cold
Unfeeling
    Individuals. . .?

Possibly this explains
An ability to relate to women
And the feelings of love
We have for them.

Today – Tomorrow
```
   Today

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

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

Faces of the City

Blankly walking the shadowed streets
Where this world and that too often meet,
A feeling of Truth’s impassioned rage
Suddenly jolts and jars the bars
Surrounding the serenely caged.

Cracked pavement lines the faces
Groping for any reality
Which produces ways to end
These sleepless nights and wakeful days.

Children of the Sun V

Moving ever further
From the place of her birth
The mature planet Earth
Soon found herself at home
In life’s generating zone

Candlelight (For Aldous Huxley)

Its flame is a unifying force,
Illuminating the once dark,
Giving dimension to technopomorphic entities,
Bringing light and undulating shadows
To once bleak walls.

It opens your eyes for you see,
It is your heart and soul,
For you feel and love
In your mind’s trance.
All known senses are keen
And the unknown seem within grasp.

Children of the Sun VIII

Suddenly emboldened
By the right to deny
Their internal essence
They build institutions
To enhance existence
And begin to bask
In the addictive glow
Of a material comfort
Sustained for the greater
By the labor of the lesser
