Through Pisces to Aquarius III

             III
The seeds of empty promises
Soon sprout a shallow happiness
That flowers as despairing rage
In those benefiting the least
From material convenience.
Cities violently erupt,
Becoming harbingers of fear
That quickly spread throughout the land.

Epiphany on the Palouse – A. Testimonial

The road to disability began
When Mensa disallowed my score
Of one hundred and ninety seven;
Discovering the redundant
Rhyme scheme answers:
A BAD CEED CA B
On major sections of the nineteen
Sixty seven IQ exam.

For they will find Reality
The moment we begin living
In Harmony with Destiny.

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.

To Steve Moore

One cannot be held
For his lack of consistency.
We must be free thinkers—
Always progressing.
And if at any point
We feel we know
The absolute Truth for everything,
We must
And have an obligation to
Write it down—
    And jump from a bridge,
    For our worth is done.

I Am That I Am
Preceded the Fall of Man
And will always Be

The fulcrum of existence
To project identity

Paths II, ii
```
The differences appear
To dismember oneness,
And soon all worth is Me,
The love of our neighbor
Degenerates to greed
And hateful jealousy.

Through Pisces to Aquarius IX

                IX
Modern day Luddite warriors,
Fight not for the jobs you have lost.
Tune out, unplug, and awaken
From the techutopian dream
To join battle late in the day
For the Soul of Humanity.

Paths I, x

The paths pitfalls are ever near
   Blinding direction’s future goal,
   For without flowing purity
   We greet the all engulfing hole
And don ego’s conquesting spear.
   We pause at the unmarked crossroads
      For our daily meditation
      And gain the strength and clarity
      Of heaven sent revelation,
   Purging dark forces that corrode.
All the question’s answers ring clear
   When each walking Love’s lighted road
   Lives according to the divine code.
