Good Friday
Nailed to the cross
you all say it was a good Friday
It was not for me
my blood mocked by soldiers
nor was it good for you
you haven't learned
in ten thousand seasons
there is no Lord
only things you do not know
you claim glory
a bankrupt human emotion
I told you no to religion
you made me one
you will kill each other
to say I am love
You are nothing more than a simulation
in my child's bedroom
You are less than ants
in the scheme
of the universe
Orthodox Russians
Raging genocide
when will you learn?

Dont quit,Dont regret,
Fly in the sky like a jet.
Even the tiny ants keep trying,
So are you gonna keep crying.
Dont be a whiny baby,
You can be the hulk maybe.
Just keep going on your track,
You should never look back.
I once suffered a hard defeat,
Learning from your mistakes is the biggest feat.
I keep going until I cant no more,
Run from the desert to the seashore.
Keep your motto to never quit,
keep going like a fluid.
Dont quit until you die,
As you know we live, we love, we lie.

I love the plants, bushes and trees
And the birds, animals and bees
I love the hills, rivers and creeks
And the ocean, beach, and mountain peaks
I love the fish, sharks and sheep
And to just watch a grasshopper leap
I love the insects, spiders, and other bugs
And even the ants, wasps and slugs
I feel peace and love in nature
But man looms the biggest danger.
With mining, farming and agriculture
He circles around like a vulture.

An old man takes his daily walk, his old dog limping after
hobbling down the city streets, to where it does not matter
familiar faces they do meet, some nod, some at times greeting.
With heavy footsteps he goes on, gnarled hand on his cane, gripping
near church steps, they walk by at dawn, where homeless men are sprawling
ancient man and ancient dog, by trash cans, ants are crawling.
Through misty morning fog, the pair are viewed by God above
heaven watches them with care, covering man and beast with love
angels know the when and where, and guide their footsteps homeward.

Oh, no star, no fan, no fame, no nerd
how they see, hear or feel is how they treat
no cash nor need to be rich, life is red
low in rank but same with man as meat
each pair form from the need not to wed
a cat’s a cat, no rank, all in one seat
ants to lion, all be the same when dead
fend for kids like with the rope of a kite
that’s all it is when duty is on site
more than a type can mix with no bite
a dog and a bird can play and marvel
lie the tiny head on a big navel
love in a show to give a good novel.

If I could be butterfly
of your garden,
you will find my love
in the flowers
lavender, pansy, phlox, calendula
the little grass beneath
the ants with big seeds
in the shadow of the fallen petals
dreams of a wasp
the gurgling drops
staying late till noon
and sometimes in late mist
breaking my another cocoon
pricked along with the laughter
of the colors, the fragrance
my nature being a butterfly,
I will flutter around you.

Why afraid of war
When you have fearless gear
Attacking like the brave
Sending lives to the grave
Brave warriors to the ants
Mimosa pudica to elephant
You are loving peace
While killing innocents
You want to win the battle
When you do the bombing
You don’t fight the mountain
But only from the mole hill
I love you peace. Let’s sail together. Layag Sug

Sunlight scarce, o' rainbow dove
I flutter wings a fifty five
just to see your weight up high
a snug,
in the clouds.
What parsing eyes, do thee enchant
a hue o' fifty fire ants
give or take a grand,
I wad my sense of wealth in color,
white is far too bland.
Someone spilled a sup of blue
a soup fit for three-hundert two,
if only it were true
that we could fill ourselves with color.
Someone see that bird up there,
whose rain arch bellows rainbow wings
and colors sing;
where there ain't no thing as hunger,
fill my stomach full of color,
my friend and brother
my sister, mother
grab my wing...
I'll take you to the play,
you needn't ever pay
...for a cup of love.

I go where love is the key
I go where only hope seize
Let me go to the eternity
Where I will see splendid beauty
The beauty of stars and angels
Where the flowers blossom like in summer
There in the fallen misty mountains
There i shall see the great plains of Africa
And little houses looking like ants colonies
I go where all turmoil shall vanish
This is the home of all the kings of ancient times
Come with me so our names shall be remembered
Follow me to the bliss of pagan souls
Come hear how they are chanting your name
Hear the captain at the end of the bridge

One night the sunset rolled down soft and slow behind the hills afar,
and I sat rocking back and forth with rhythm in the trees as headlights drove away,
and turned my gaze from sky above where Venus and her brightest friends came
out to play,
to tracing helter-skelter paths of tiny crimson ants criss-crossing broken bricks
below my feet like scars,
and I thought of all the moments in my life that led me here, and how the ocean
spreads across the world to touch the shore,
and how the mother keeps her child so close and does adore, and I thought of
you, of but a girl, but whom I hold so dear

dream,
I feel that someday there is going to be a change,
A change of mind
A change of thought
A change for love
The voices in my head
Leaves me with no meaning,
It tends to disconnect me
From the present
It calls me
It calls so hard
That I could hear them from the whispering
Of the ants on the ground.
I know for sure that this struggle,
This depression & poverty will soon be gone
And one morning
The sun will rise
In my abode.

By the Creator, so aptly drawn.
Leaves crushed tenderly by a beautiful fawn.
Ants doing their dance, under a shady branch
Almost seems as they are doing a folk dance.
My head on your lap as the the deck swing sways.
The resplendant sunlight on the deck carpet just
more beauty to this day.
Face to face now and heart to heart.
In God's divine eternity, we will never part.
So like the bright heavenly bodies we two are.
So near to others but live on our own Romios star!

love, science fiction,
At the speed of light, I hear your scream
I wake up in a galaxy of dreams
Your restless thoughts shatter my sleep
But I dare not take a step
On this terra firma of alien giants
Our love is the size of ants
In-between toenails and craters of decay
Will our love survive the day?
Their bellowed shouts are supersonic
Emit an evil high frequency static
How will I ever hear your heart speak,
Or know of the love you seek?
Your flesh preserved in a spacesuit
My mind covered in your bodysuit
An intergalactic love story about to be told
In this epic war of the worlds

goodbye, mystery,
People were busy looking at the monitor in the airport.
Newly-weds, vacationers and some hoping for a chance
found their seats and settled down for a long trip.
The airplane ascended until cars resembled ants.
Exited, some of the group had never flown.
Some passengers napped while a child cried.
Hours passed and a regular flyer questioned,
“What’s going on? This is not right!”
We know not the rest of the events.
A mystery may not ever be solved.
Panic-stricken families, baffled friends~
The only emotion that may remain is love.

lost love,
Closing of eyes
Dark rooms heave a sigh
Hinges cry in pain
In hot sun
Flowering shrubs fried
Like popcorn
White ants
Performing route march
To impose invasion.
They march crushing houses
And now our home.
Strange totems of funerals.
Our blood as thick as gruel
Anticoagulants
Aspirins and sleeping dops
Wearied by 'compromises
Nauseating molestation
Minor collisions and more
Mountains groan
Lightnings set ablaze
Thunder grunts.
Close your eyes
"Cause you're not used to.....'
Catastrophes of common life.

imagination,
As I sit and look through my opened window I realized that everything that breaths has emotions..
I looked at my plant and notice that if I don't speak to it and feed it not only with water but with love I would see that the leaves start drooping..
I looked at the colorful butterfly and I put my hand out and it came close to my hand but out of fear it flew away
I put my head out of the window and noticed on the window seal that a few ants were marching by and when I put my hand out they scattered and ran away
The cat jumped up to the window seal and I called to it and it came close and I rubbed her fur and it purred
For all things that breath have emotions

happiness, hope, love,
Life is in our hands
For we to spend
Let's contented, relax and enjoy
Even a small remain from the dinner table
Fills the hope of a swarm of ants under the table
Let's find the way to love and to utilize
Small thing can become great idea
A small contentment is a part of a great satisfaction
Contentment leads to satisfaction
Satisfaction leads to relaxation, enjoyment and happiness
And happiness leads to achievement of target and mission
After all maybe happiness is the only special offer in life
For we to purchase and spend

yes I am different
yes I have changed
yes I changed who I am
but not for your sake
I wrote the letter down
and I wrote my name
this who I am
and this is what I got to say
don't hate me
don't love me
but just respect me
and I will respect thee
for I am a man of my word
even though I am not that old yet
I am just a interesting guy
with a little talent
I maybe wise and a bit small
but I could show you the meaning in some love
this is who I am
this is my word
I wrote these letter down
so I can be heard
no one gets me
for who I am
so I wrote these letter
to the big man
the boss of the town
the giant of ants
I am showing him
who I am

art, childhood, funny,
Young and old with one glance,
A child of children with secrets,
A secret of yesterday’s romance,
Produced from wild eyed couplets,
But given the slightest chance,
Would live without regrets,
Parented with a glance,
Fascinated with piglets,
How we love to dance,
Before we take our first steps,
Ants tickling in our pants,
Quickly before home to our pets,
We walk our baby trance,
Followed by puppets,
Then sleep on harmless plants,
Then wake with our forgets.

She is an epitome of kindness,
a canopy on a rainy day;a well in arid land,
I wish to emulate her gracious benevolent,
Orphans are feed,harlots polished and widows smiled,
The homeless are housed and hopeless hopes were raised,
She illuminates and radiates love among ants and rodents,
such unique *****sapiens!,Oh! mother nature `give us more`.

art,
It was a slant love.
Back to back,
lips to lips.
Lethal and dark
strong yet delicate
like spider’s web.
A dark side of the moon
sending conflicting
signals to bacilli-
of dirty lane, pink
and blue. My pug
licks the toes.
The pugmark on
green body. I am now
flowering. Hydrangeas.
•
The primrose half-asleep
Calendula was burning
in veins.
Unisex. The clenched
fist of a desire. I will
not accept a half-lip.
The chaste tree was sending
a bouquet of
steaming pistils.
Where the sun will sleep
tonight ? Till the love-making
was over on tangerines.
The loose skin now
invites the red ants, crawling,
wearing your nails.
