1. The Saint and the Punished
The joys he'll enter into, in Zion, are beyond compare. Mansions, cities of gemstones raised the height of the earth to the moon, countrysides, rivers, mountains, valleys, lakes, the trees of the Fruit of Life, lush fertile plains, beautifully woven courts within the City itself likened to the most beautiful State Parks imaginable within its decadent cube; with flowing rivers and waterfalls; even all the animals of the Saints will be there, and all of our precious creatures we loved. Streets paved with gold, and Pearl gates. Decadent food and drinks, with no hunger or thirst. And he'll be married to Zion, and call the Land Beulah.
If you do not accept Jesus, you'll be imprisoned in a cell of sandstone, licked with flame, and if you were really bad, will be tormented by a demon as your cellmate. You'll descend the tunnel of hell, into the grave, and appear in the caverns of hell, and meet the Satyrs, Dragons, Imps and Cockatrices, and they'll take you to your abode, where you will rot with worms in your wounds, being wounded, and have no thought, no wisdom, no activity, and have all your love stolen from you. You'll feel like a rolled up ball, being tossed around, and never at rest. And your only peace will be that you are where you ought.
2. The Music
The wise hate the wailing of the harp;
They hate the guttural chords,
And howling melodies.
In the society's decadence,
The music turns to emotive phrase,
And guttural noise;
When at its peak,
The music was peace.
So also, does the harp and lyre
Fill every decadent room,
Every ear is held to the shell
So they can listen to the sea
Of melodies.
At their labor, art permeates every corridor.
The ubiquitous noise omnipresent
So that nowhere can you ever hear again
The pleasant noise of people's voices
In their bubbly hubbub.
Rather, all there is is the music
In its guttural noises,
And strong, emotive sounds;
Filling all who hear it with stirring melancholy.
Or, with lusty anger and hot sex.
And everywhere it is...
You cannot escape it.
I had thought I lost this poem,
But providence desired it to be sung once more.
3. Jesus' Tunic
Do you remember Joseph?
His coat of many colors?
Made for him by Rachel,
His mother?
Jesus had a tunic
Made without a single seam
Woven from top to bottom,
By Mary.
I recall, that it was His
Most prized possession;
A tunic. Which, having coats
Myself, I
Know the pride of a warm, well crafted coat,
How it keeps warm in the
Bitterest of colds, if a tunic also lie
Underneath.
There is a pride to what keeps warm
Which Jesus referred to his Tunic
An awful lot. Being His most prized possession.
Love was stitched
Into this innocent thing; it was the source
Of many of His most difficult sayings,
Where we say, "That's not true,"
Lo, it is.
And that same thing was stolen from Him
On the day of His death, His only comfort;
The thing which was worn, made by His mother,
And He died
As was prophesied, with the garment
Cast lots over by the Centurion who killed Him.
Woe to that man's theft, for how can it be forgiven?
Yet it can.
4. Ancient Revelry
The tares, from their infancy,
Are sown into black soils,
And there they grow with
Instruments of anarchy.
They stab, they fight,
They poison, they kill,
With the dagger, with fist,
With chalice, with sword;
Every object in their home is cursed.
They fly upon their broomsticks,
They dance nude and enter one another;
They only allow the poets who are naughty
To be spoken in their ancient Golden Era.
And to them, it is joy, the hellish stress,
For they remember their Garden of Earthly Delight.
And they wish to once more bring this age
To fruition, now that Christianity had abated that hell.
Do not acquiesce. Fight with words, and slay the dragon
With the breath of our peaceful prosperities.
5. Vile
Vile things are in every culture.
Vile things are in every time.
Today, it is mutilation of children.
Yesterday, it was chattel slavery.
Tomorrow, who knows?
The obdurate child gets taken from his home.
Stiff necked, and unapologetic, he'd rather
Be placed in foster care, to avoid his parents.
They don't want him to be permanently changed.
The men and women, walking in their rows
Of chains, shackled together, blood dripping down their backs,
A whip cracking, and a husband and wife torn apart
With the screaming infant between their arms.
What gross thing will tomorrow bring?
What invasive disease of the mind will it infect us with?
What horrible thing, will normal and sane individuals
Believe is right, and the rest of us murmur in half toleration?
The fact of the first thirty years of my life
Was that we had finally gotten it right,
And didn't have any of this. What a shame things went so awry.
6. The Trial
Trump is on trial.
He reads "Before the Law"
He doesn't understand it
But I do.
One door, made for him,
One law, made for him,
One gatekeeper---
Just like all of us it seems,
It will be one day,
A law made for each man
And a sentence just as absurd.
And one man piously sits,
Unquestioning, for it is the matter
Of the State that this solitary law
Be followed, and so with every other man
His own solitary Law
With no rhyme or reason
Than the very fact that it is.
7. She Couldn't Save Me
In a dream, or a vision,
I was cleaning up my life.
My mother, my dear mother,
Was apathetic in her strife.
She would not pick up a broom,
She would not make haste.
So, I left upon my dream
For I could not tell if I, she hates.
Then, upon my bed, I saw a youth who was from my past.
I lay upon my bed, with my Pound Puppy at my breast.
And there was she, for whom I loved,
And my worst fear was seen
A nightmare had succumbed me
And I learned she was a fiend.
Then, at last, we were careening out of control.
I had no lover, I had no friend, so "Amarisa" I told
Shouting it, shouting it, "Amarisa" I did.
The truck crashed, and it killed all my friends.
Then I was ghost, hovering above the scene I dread,
I had not raised, I had not fell, but I knew I was surly dead.
Then, I woke in an asylum for the insane.
I thought I was on a movie set,
I found it all very strange.
I ran for the door, warning all of my insight.
A nurse had tackled me, and then "Jesus" I had cried.
I crawled upon the floor, I inched my very way
Every painful movement, I cried "Jesus" all the way.
At the last, I came to the end, it was a mall with open door;
A stadium was filling with children, who saw me in my state so poor.
Yet, at the end, I reached up for that door,
A voice said, "Brandon, open," and I opened up the door.
At that moment I woke from the horrid vision my mind aroused,
And I renounced that idol "Amarisa", and wrote this verse profound.
Only one name under heaven, I found tonight is true.
It is the LORD Jesus, and I come to caution you.
If by my writing you feel blessed, it is because it's all a song
Made for that one and only savior, not for Amarisa wrong.
Yet, do not worship---it is a tricky verse---
That Daughter of Zion, of which I'm well rehearsed.
It is just a fancy, a strange and idol thought...
Yet it shall remain, for Jesus I have taught.
There is only one name, that saves a man or child,
There is only one name, that can save murderer or pedophile,
Or rapist, or theif, or blasphemer or Jew,
Or Gentile, or Greek, and not a number very few....
It is that man named Jesus, who died upon a cross.
Let no accursèd cult spring from me, for now I know the cost.
I proclaim one Name, that is Jesus Christ my God...
Any other name proclaimed, leads to an awful loss.
8. Jorgia Erin Amaris O'Conner
I fell in love with you.
You became my obsession.
My Beatrice. My Amélie.
You became my idol. Yes, you.
In your blue dress, I saw you
With such godly joy. Like being
In the presence of God.
I must confess it was very strange.
But, I break that yoke for another.
A lighter yoke, that of my Friend.
For calling out to you at night,
It never once saved me. But Christ did.
You are a phantom, who I don't know.
But, I do still believe I will be married to Zion
In the eternal abode I shall one day inhabit.
I do say, if in life I am alone, it is the one thing which could make it worthwhile.
9. Why P Cannot Always Equal NP
It's the proverbial Squaring of the Circle.
The limits of Coefficients in a system,
Which would create NP, cannot always
Be described by P, due to the limitations on geometry.
Every system of equation is defined by a shape.
And simply put, there are limits to every shape
Which makes it impossible to conform some shapes into other shapes.
I think anyway.
In fact, through further rumination,
If P could always equal NP,
It would break down the very notion of equalities.
P equaling NP
Would be the same as saying
πr^2=l*w.
Fundamentally, the axioms of one shape,
Cannot translate to another.
If they could, there'd be no use for mathematics.
In fact, I'd further say,
That if P equaled NP,
One would have a universal equation
And System for solving all axioms of Geometry.
Which, fundamentally, cannot be true.
As Pi is no more described in a square
As Length and Width are described by a radius.
The shapes have different axioms
By which they must follow,
Which require new calculations on their part
To describe each geometric figure.
So with, any Nondeterministic Polynomial
Cannot always be equated into a Polynomial.
As each Nondeterministic Polynomial
Will be defined by its unique shape and dimensions.
Simply, it cannot be so.
Therefore, Some NP cannot be equal to P.
10. I Am By No Means a Mathematician
I am by no means a mathematician.
However, when I come to P = NP---
Dazzled by the complexity of the equations---
I look at each equation like a shape.
As if each equation represented a simple shape;
Or, even a very complex shape.
In my limited exploration of geometry,
I know a few very basic things.
One cannot take the shape of a Right Triangle,
And use the Pythagorean T heorem
To explain an Isosceles.
And seeing that NP and P
Can be reduced to this principle,
At its most basic level,
The most fundamental thing to learn
From this system, is that we CANNOT
Generalize a rule for all shapes.
We cannot, for instance,
Call an equation a polynomial
If it has three dimensions, for example.
If there is a cubed variable,
The equation no longer is a Polynomial.
I think people approach the problem
From the angle of where I approached
Pythagorean Theorem.
It seems intuitive,
To think the proof lies
In the hypotenuse being like a crossed section
Of a quadrilateral.
But, that is not why it solves.
It seems possible...
Even very likely,
To where you'll be duped into thinking it.
But, upon keen observations,
And studying the equations and dimensions,
You find it cannot be so
As it would break down equalities and the laws of algebra.
So, also, I think NP equaling P
Would be the same notion,
Of it seeming intuitive,
That a solution can be made.
But, generally, what's intuitive can be deceptive,
And what's more, you cannot define
The Pythagorean Theorem for a Circle,
Any more than Pi would apply
To a Square.
Sure, one can make equal anything,
But by means of deduction,
There is no way outside of empirical observation
To determine a shape, and how the laws
Of objective space apply to it.
Adding the dimension of time
Further complicates this, and makes even more complex shapes,
Which I believe, its geometry, must be studied independently
For each individual problem.
Much like the philosophers of auld would study shapes
To determine axioms and principles.
Thereby, one must study the shapes
And derive new axioms for each individual shape.
And possibly, that will be the occupation of many brilliant minds come the future, what will.
11. God Defines Me
He's written my story from start to finish.
My name is"Broom Tree on a Hill Crown Newpeace";
With my brillo head.
I decided to be a writer from the start,
So progressed into Poesy.
Southey and Coleridge wished to come to my reigion
---the Susquehanna valley---
in order to create a "Pantocracy",
I write in a style similar to them
And also began writing with utopian visions.
Not only that, Longfellow---America's finest poet---
Had married a woman named "Mary Storer Potter",
And my best friend has a same last name.
So, there's definitely evidence of God working in my life,
Particularly, to lead me into my profession, and also to my work.
None of that could have been coincidental.
12. The Class Machine
No cleric can surpass the king
No, not even in democracy.
The fiefdom is set, as the cook
Makes Metalcore, and lives
His worst life now.
Was not da Vinci a clerk?
Say we had more freedom then
Than we do now?
The modern Feudalism is set,
As the Wokies march in order,
Ushering in Communism.
That new generation rises,
One with the royal cavalcades
And the flying chariots...
The peoples worship them as gods.
Science is magic
And no man,
Whose own grandfather
Used to dig a hole in the ground
Can rise to the ranks of Poet Laureate;
No, not in this day.
The Laurel sings her rage,
That Boomerang can kill her
The minute she fires her Pineapple;
Though she wants to fight for her freedom,
Yet the mass graves shall be the cost.
Republicans in their rows,
Mowed down by machines and not men;
Waging their wars with Bow and Knife.
Yes, you crowned emperor,
This is a new generation...
One where you rise above all
In glutted fest, and say "I AM".
Crown the Empire,
The ashes of all I love are destroyed,
For to fight is futile.
So, let me die if I must.
And my Blood shall kindle the flame
Like Polycarp, and in Peace
Freedom shall persuade and win.
13. Innocence
A squid tentacle constricts
A boat, moored on a canvas
Over a hundred years ago.
The decadent painter
Paints over the Baronry's
Prized collection.
Is this not like the wealth
Of many generations, wasted
By the slogans of communism?
Is this not like the fool,
Whom, finding that Gospel Pearl,
Throws it back into the sea?
For once, the wealth was spread,
And the Pearl need not be hid
From the salacious Trusts;
.
It was there for the common man to shuck.
Yet he swallowed up the pearl,
And kept its shell, by entertaining his audience
With his vandalism.
The communist is like this man,
In that she paints over the canvas of
Civilization with her tentacles;
She covers wealth with her idle decadence.
She knows not Capitalism lifted the world
Out of poverty, and gave the common lay, even,
Priceless art. No... She paints over it
With her squid tentacles,
And spoils generations' worth of wealth.
14. Evolution of Thought 4/13/23
AI, is it smart? No... the mathematician proves it.
Cubed Rooted Negatives are impossible.
But Quartic and Eighthic rooted negatives are not.
The fool says AI can be intelligent, because he believes
It already is---though, it is merely mimicry.
Not creativity. It repeats the formulae of essays
Upon essays, and only knows how to simplify them;
It doesn't understand nuance.
P cannot equal NP all the time---
Some NP cannot equal P---yet, it is not in my poem.
Someone is editing my work, without my knowledge.
I swear an oath, but it is not so. It is only my faulty memory.
I said, "Not Always" but not "Some".
Jordan Peterson wants to create a better world with Religion's Law,
But such a world would be unmerciful,
Save God reign, and judge, and preside over our hearts and minds.
Law without Grace is Hell.
I walk through the State Park,
The tree with an ear has a microphone,
So I believe, and the Bathroom too,
And the tree that looks like a boob.
It opens up to an underground base,
And in the lake, when drained,
They prepared for World War III,
And the rockets would ascend out of the waters.
I would wave my hand, and with faith it would all vanish,
And I would be left unmolested.
The Carpenter ant, so
Giously walks across my path
Bold, and happy, with the little samara shivering in her mandible.
I wonder if God's eyes are not on such little things.
The plane with the red tailfin flies by, ever so silently,
So I wonder if it is a chariot from Jotunheim,
And the funny camera by the roadside reads my thoughts.
The preacher preaches a sermon on the most horrific child abuse;
She screams, "Where was God when my uncle had done so!"
Where was God when my best friends abandoned me
And showed no inkling of mercy toward my youthful offense?
Or when my peers bullied me? Or when my mother divorced my dad?
Or when all the mean and nasty things were said?
Yet not one hair on my head was ever harmed---
Where was God when my dad received cancer
From the shame and disappointment of his beloved son?
Yet God's providence has always protected me.
I know not why, but possibly because He knows I will never lose my faith.
A semi-circle also can become like a chord in Intersecting Chords Theorem.
Ah, Oh Grecia and Persia, you fight your twenty-five hundred year long war;
Still raging even to this day, and may be a cataclysmic end,
Northern and Southern Kingdoms; how Israel tossels between them.
For a very short time, did Rome Suzerain over Persia; possess the world.
Zoroastrianism morphed into Islam, yet the Northern and Southern
Kings control the world, like a Yin and Yang ensign;
Though do not be fooled, neither are good, both are evil.
15. The Conflict of Creation
I will never mystify you with how I create.
Call it an inner voice, call it a conscience,
Call it the voice of God...
But, I don't seek to persuade you that it's anymore than
Genius, like such which causes the grapes to grow
Or the performance to be good,
Or the wine to accent meat with its berry.
I will never use mystic words
Or try to dupe you into believing this comes from me.
It comes from practice---
Not some bold power of self will.
Just practice, and a little help from God.
16. The Olive, The Fig, The Vine and the Bramble
Brother and Sister of the True vine,
That Olive and Fig---
The Olive with his fatness,
The Fig with her sweetness;
Gideon and Deborah,
Elijah and Mary Magdalene;
What distinguishes thou?
When offered a crown, ye cast it;
Ye forsake the world, and worldly authority.
Oh, the Vine, when pierced---
You True Vine, you who merry the hearts of God and Man,
You too had been lifted up,
And would not take Your Kingdom with the Twelve Legions of Angels;
Not before you were lifted up.
Yet, the Bramble with his Shadow
Says, "Give me authority,
"And I shall guide ye well!"
And he is a fire which burns like hell's black flame.
17. Fools and Philosophers
I look at all the philosophers handed down through history,
And I wonder, "How simple it would be, if their teacher were Christ alone?"
Then, I suppose, there would not be any confusion about the most basic truths.
18. Kaleidodream
Do you not know? The robot does not dream?
Do you not know, that it plagiarizes you, and yes me?
The swirling subconsciousness of a hundred million artists
Get copied and pasted over a sentence or line of text.
The author of that text believes it is the magic of mind---
He believes it is intellect, and creativity of the machine.
No... it is the intellect and creativity of millions of artists
Which the AI picks and chooses, and warps
Around a few platitudes of thought.
And the author of such thought says, "I can not do better."
Yet, I, being an artist, see only the wish fulfillment
Of having one's immediate, and simplistic fancy
Shown as a flashy, surrealist portrait.
No, my loves, the true artist is you who wrote the prompt.
For that subconscious thought then gets woven
By the machine, to create what is pretty,
But not sublime.
19. Otaku
Am I just an obsessed hobbyist?
Spending hours a day,
Surfing for inspiration...
Is it only money that makes a career?
Music,
Art,
Science,
Literature,
Poetry,
History,
Psychology,
Sociology,
Maths,
Theology,
Philosophy,
For what?
Would I have been better off
Learning how to play a video game real well?
To know nothing about our world?
Twiddle my thumbs,
And I could have made a fortune.
I could have been a good poker player,
Or a bad chess player,
Or a good COD player,
Or I could play pinochle,
Or be a professional Magic The Gathering Player,
Or I could play Fortnite,
Or I could have made a YouTube channel
Where I got really good at Mario or Rome Total War,
Or playing Minecraft all day
And make my fortune?
To commentate on Comic Book fads
And react to some stranger's fifteen minutes of fame
Or classic rock songs I've heard a million times
And speculate on the latest celebrity gossip?
I could have beat myself,
Made a fool out of myself,
Like a Jackass
And give my exorbitant riches to the poor.
No, instead I chose to grow up.
And am punished for it,
By not being allowed to.
All my target audiences are trapped in eternal youth
Like I am the sole man left on Earth.
20. How to Read a Poem
Read once.
Read twice.
Then labor over every line.
Look at every comma,
And learn every word in time.
Find every allusion,
Find every hidden word---
Read over a lifetime,
And you shall know that verse.
21. The Anti-Nietzsche Aphorism
The highest form in this life,
Succumbs to work which sustains us,
A true love,
The quest for knowledge.
And contentment with this lot.
Then, we die and reap whatever we have sown.
22. Historicity of Genesis; Flood, Nimrod and Battle of Siddom
Mid-24th Century Anomaly,
It collapses all civilizations;
Almost like a global flood? Then
The Earth divides during the life of Peleg, and then
Sargon that Nimrod, built His empire,
And three hundred years later, would,
Ride, Abraham! and pursue those Elamite foes.
Make haste to avenge Ur, to impose that Amorite King
Melchizedek, king of Salem, to instill Babylonian rule.
23. Two Black Maidens
Two black maidens set their minds to proof...
They do their math, and prove.
Calculus, they use, to prove Pythagorean Theorem,
Yet Calculus is proven so much, so
That Pythagorean Theorem is proven too!
It is a biconditional,
Two Tautologies that necessitate.
The very crux of Equalities,
And the very crux of all mathematics and logic.
It is how, oh my souls,
That science knows.
24. Hell's Party
Hell's Party, for those who wish to go,
Will be unbridled, lawless rage.
It will be eternal sin, and damnation.
Satan dupes you into believing it will be fun,
Because sin was fun.
The little innocent bear pong game,
The one night stand,
The practical jokes...
They turn into MK Ultra drugs,
Rape and forced relationships with hideous monsters,
And torture chambers.
The party guests arrive,
And Satan says, "No Rules Yeah!"
And the party guests cry out for glory,
And then the suffering begins.
No rules, no regulations, all murder, theft and adultery allowed.
And we soon see what hell actually is.
It is sin unbridled by God's Law.
25. Jehovahjirah
The LORD will be seen;
And like the ram provided
To Abraham, when seen,
The LORD had been an ox, aleph, A
Sacrificed for the covenant, tav., t
The Seed of the woman
Bit in His Ankle by the Serpent,
Crushed the serpent's head.
The seed and sprout of Jesse
Grew, and all was placed under His domain.
For, the curse brought great suffering
Into the world---for with sin there is the curse
Of suffering, for all sin causes suffering.
And by the crucifixion of our LORD
All our sin was pierced into Him,
Making us, like He, whom God sees.
Therefore, we are the little Christs,
Whom the world sees as if we were He---
And the world hates us, mocks us,
Scorns us. Why? Because it is the cause
Of all our suffering, and we tell it so.
Yet that suffering is nailed into Jesus
At the cross, so we one day see God face to face.
26. The Gospels as Witness
Mathew, if first written in Aramaic,
Papias says John Son of Thunder
Said Matthew was written by Matthew in Hebrew,
Does this not prove Matthew was written by
Matthew? Papias XX says John the Elder is
John Son of Thunder, and that John dictated his Gospel to Papias.
Luke is also considered a premier Historian.
Evidence that Demands a Verdict, 86.
And Mark is written by memory,
On the testimony of Peter.
And would Q not most likely be the man Jesus Himself?
27. The Cycle
The Jolly Mother Idol, imbued in a civilization
Ancient, and now gone... their Neolithic
Art of cattle and human skulls,
Which were made into displays
And arm rests,---their paintings of the hunt
Scribed throughout the world on cave walls;
Their houses of clay, with roof streets
And well kept, with ovens and warm spaces.
It was destroyed by, yes, the Flood.
Then arose the Semitic Pantheon
Of Baal-El, Hubaal, and Asherah.
And they arose, to their gross heights.
They built upon their civilization,
Ancient and ubiquitous---
The infant bodies stored in clay pots
To perform their gross sciences---
But then Israel wiped them out,
And finally Rome when it had conquered Carthage.
And then Rome had grown, and grew to great stature.
It grew, it grew, it grew, and the Greek Pantheon
Ruled the world. And soon it brought chaos
By its lusty and rapturous gods,
And like Hyenas they wafted from Male to Female
And from Female back to Male;
And what chaos it did bring!
Until the Christians converted Constantine
And with Peace, did Christianity cover the world.
And as a last age, will not the wicked raise the idol once again
Gaia, mother Earth, and the Titans overthrown
By the new Pantheon, Greece overtaken by War
And its pantheon of comfort, prosperity and food and drink.
And then, at last, the creature raises from the depths
And causes all men to worship it;
Worship the Earth, so that the gods and goddesses
Can fly upon their chariots, and live by their arcane magic.
And the poor upon the earth shall lament, and take up this cry
Against the wicked generation, they shall Cry for Christ
And His age, for at least then there was peace;
America, remember Who ordered thy prosperity.
28. A Priori
The entire world understands itself
Through practice of vacuous equations---
That is why no one can tell what is true.
No math can work, without being applied.
No math can be proven, unless by real
Phenomena, and its prediction of
Their physics. We know much metaphysics
As is our primary education,
But confuse all a priori logic,
Which substitutes whim and desire for
What is actually in the real world.
So men and women are like hyenas
And not like men or women; yet even
There, we find the modern fashion exposed.
29. 1,666
My last post was 1,666.
Almost like the divine providence speaks loud and bold.
30. Ye Old Stoics
An old Stoic once told a man
Who lost everything he owned
To a raging inferno
That it was not his to begin with.
That everything was borrowed.
The wise sage said, "You do not deserve what you want."
If you wish to live in a world like that,
Where law is who can rip the meat
From the lioness' mouth;
Yet, God is abundant in promises.
Though, in my suffering I do not blame Him,
I blame ye.
Why is it, that I answer and do so much work
And get unrecognized for it?
While my ideas are stolen, and my seed
Blows about the wind?
Yes, there is a man who doesn't labor for wisdom;
Ought that man be?
The perfect philosopher might be among you
But no one will listen to him.
They pick and peck like vultures
Taking his meat from off his bones,
Leaving him shivering cold amidst the carnage.
And this is how it ought to be?
Yes? Because the old Stoic glibly consoles
The man who is suffering by telling him
That his suffering is for naught?
That he did not deserve the things which he lost?
Certainly, I don't deserve it...
I don't intend to make that case,
But work needs to be paid for.
And my work is not being paid.
So, there is some injustice happening
Where I reveal secrets
And yet my own vineyard is spoiled
Ye's fantasies for me is to be like a child
As long as I live, and to grow old and gray
Still yoked to the chain of his condescension.
Yet, such is the situation of a true prophet,
And with that badge of honor,
I am at rest.
31. Vain Mystery
There shall be no temple found at Egypt,
Thou, like Gomorrah.
The sacrifice shall be made
On Mount Zion,
And there, in our Eternal Abode.
The Nicolaitan King
Shall invade Zion's Walls
To no avail, though the covering Cherub sit
In the Temple, like Christ::---
The Abomination.
32. Fight o Samaria
Freedom writhes this day---
Baal is worshipped by the rich
And Baphomet by the poor.
Slaughter, o Samaria
The Canaanite from within you.
Purge their very babes from you.
Dash their infants to pieces.
Destroy, thresh, show no mercy
To the heathen gods---rip down their altars;
Break their altars, and destroy their heritage.
Cause their shame to be forgotten in the lands,
O Israel. Now is not a time for peace,
But for the sword. Thresh from among you
And rip down the faithless, with their horns.
The Assyrian navies, sleek ships from Tarshish,
They sail into thy seas, o Samaria, off thy coasts.
Who shall bewail the children of the god Moloch?
Shall we now do to their infants,
What he has seen fit to do to ours?
They dance, with the horns of devils upon their heads,
And they speak their blasphemes and their curses.
"The Prophet Prophesies!"
So says the people, yet it is another vain vision.
How many prophecies shall they utter in error?
Shall the wicked go unpunished?
Who, thou Samaria, is it who bowed the nape
To Moloch? Is it not even you?
Woe! Iniquity upon Iniquity!
Samaria, you ought have foughten
But instead you made alliances with your own Accusers!
You have sacrificed to the Pagan Bull
And you have burned incense to the Lilith!
Now, shall you be destroyed
And your babes ripped from you.
Where your judgment would have proceeded
As light, it is now darkness, for you,
O Samaria, ought have foughten,
But instead you have made alliance with Sin.
Yet, the Prophets shall be among you,
And wag the tongue, as you lick like an adder
With poison. We shall escape, we men of Judah.
Selah.
Thou Land of Whirring Wings,
Who brought ensigns by papyrus vessels,
Thou cleaved by the rivers,
O, Moab, hide the Children of Israel---
For if they cleave to you, and seek your good,
They shall not be slain.
Do not enter into the war
My Children, but let the nations war among themselves.
For judgment proceed'th from the most high
For their iniquity, and the LORD has lain this trap.
They shall be greatly ashamed, those who accused Judah,
And they shall no more look upon their gods,
And say, "The LORD see'th not."
Your hands shall be bound,
And thy mouths stopped, and every ear shall tingle
At what the LORD has planned for you,
Who made war with your brother in the day his iniquity was found out.
Samaria, she is forsaken, do not take up a lament.
33. The Fascist Calling the Fascist Brown
Tim Snyder, for all your good you did
Sounding the alarm about Trump,
You missed the very cruel double edge.
Canada is attacking Free Speech with Internet Censorship,
Canada is also destroying people's livelihoods for simply refusing to say made up pronouns,
The fact that there even are over 2 genders, and that's being taught to kids as young as eight, (Symbols of the Party)
The United Nations is attempting to minimize and even normalize Statutory Rape,
So is California,
PBS is advocating Gender Affirming Health Care---the castration and masectomation of Youths--- (Propaganda)
England is fining and putting people in jail for saying, "Homosexuality is a Sin"
The FBI is being used to spy and terrorize American Citizens who vote Republican, (Militarized Police and Paramilitarization)
Mail In Ballots are being used to illegally cast votes, and therefore win elections for Democrats, (Unfair Elections)
Critical Race Theorists are trying to whitewash American History and culture,
Woke Politics are infesting Hollywood, and not allowing any art to be made,
As Trans Terrorists maliciously censor voices like JK Rowling with Death Threats and Bomb Threats; they do so with impunity,
As PBS draws sympathy to a Mass Shooter who killed Children, just because he is trans,
As words like "Ugly" and "Fat" get removed from Roald Dahl's Works, and Loony Tunes and Dr. Seuss get banned, (Censorship and Book Burning)
As people still wear masks from a manufactured pandemic that really wasn't as bad as people made it (Symbols of the Party)
As people try to amend the law, such as Double Jeopardy, there is a woman calling for a reopening of a case involving a man and woman convicted in relation to a gang murder---
As the Left and hordes of Lawyers scathe Alex Jones and make him into a show trial, which cost him more money than was ever reasonable to pay,
As a person who made a little firing pin 3d Printing model was given an over 100 year sentence,
And what was the Reichstag? January 6th, where the only person who died was one solitary protestor,
And while CNN and MSNBC cheer on rioters and looters in the name of Equity, Inclusivity and Diversity,
As School Libraries carry pornography and sexually explicit materials, and teachers begin to move boundaries in the classroom pertaining to sex
As college students monopolize campuses, and create "Safe Spaces" where they prohibit freedom of speech, while rioting and protesting and forcibly removing Conservative speakers from their campuses....
Where, for all your journalistic integrity,
Did you attack this? Which was just as malicious and evil.
That is why I have to be the voice of reason.
You call Trump a fascist. Well, who else is also fascist?
Perhaps the advocates of all of these things, as well.
If you fact check these things, they say it is not so, yet the words out of the very Pigs' mouths betray them.
Though the Right is trying to normalize Indentured Servitude,
And is paying out toxic loans as Black Rock and China buy up all of our American Companies,
As they ban John Green from schools,
As they profilitize Religious Stodginess and want to create a Theonomy,
And are trying to make the Robber Barons Baronry again,
Though these sins are enough, I'm sure there's more I'm unaware of.
Both sides are trying to make speech impossible, through perpetual offense,
Having friends and relatives thrown out of homes for simple disagreements,
Or thrown out of businesses for their political views;
Which is forbidden under the Enumeration of the 9th Amendment.
No man, can contractually sign away their rights,
Either verbally, written or in any wise in any agreement.
And both are Nazi Anti-Semites in my book, with two brands of kool aid.
I stand on no side except God's; it's all despicable. That's why I'm the only honest voice.
34. Make a New Song
Ariel, named for her red hair,
Watches Ariel, a gorgeous Black Woman.
A mermaid expert tells us,
"Ariel is black, because Mermaids come from Africa."
Though, the story comes from Hans Christian Andersen,
A Dane.
Ought the Woman King be black?
I say she ought be, as the story means nothing
Without that character being black.
There is no metaphor without the racial imagery.
To scrub it for future generations,
None will know what history came to pass.
It will erase where we came from.
So also, you must not swap out races of characters.
Erin is the idealized of my perfect form of Beauty.
Theresa is based off of a woman I adored.
To remove Erin's Irish feature
And Theresa's Guyanese feature
Is to ignore who I crafted them to be
They would not be who they ought to be.
It would be a disservice
To change who they are.
Make new.
Make a new song.
35. The Amalekite's Lie
Saul fell upon his
Sword, committing Suicide;
Being David's foe,
The Amalekite lied, who
Said that Saul leaned on his Spear.
For, does not the one
Who slays the King's enemy
Get a reward, no?
36. The Tortoise and the Hare 2023
The world was ran by hares,
Whom made everyone give them lettuce,
Otherwise the Hares would tie their feet
Together, with their superior speed,
And they'd only unbound the other animals
When they had sufficient lettuce to feed them with.
Thus, there came an angry tortoise
Remembering the Justice of the Olden Days
When his ancestor had beaten the hare
In a foot race.
So, again, he challenged the Hare
To a foot race.
The hare accepted,
And then proceeded to make a few conditions.
"First, Herr Tortoise, you must bind your legs.
"And second, you must noose your neck,
"And third, you must place a heavy rock over your shell.
"And if you give me lettuce, I will unbind you for a short time
"Until I contract that your allotted time is up, and then I will bind you again."
The tortoise refused,
And said, "No, Herr Hare, I will not acquiesce to these terms."
And the Hare said, "Then you shall not race,
"And I will bind you anyway."
The hares then were pleased they made it so.
I am that Tortoise.
37. Metaphors of Current Affaires
I am a bard, witnessing the feud of great empires.
Let me tell of the political strife happening now.
There is Queen Maeve and David, allied together to bring
The Anarchy to the shores of the Greater Northern Realm.
There is Stephen, whom no one loves, bringing tyranny here
By challenging the ancient bounds of free speech, by storming
Through like the Bull in a China Closet: he destroys much.
There are the Northern and Southern Kings, storming each other's
Lands, taking cities, and warring their ancient rivalry;
The Domains of Grecia and Persia are at their long
Millennias' war, ruling worlds like a taijitu .
And here is this bard, trying to win back his realm's freedom.
38. Quadratic Equations
A difficult mystery...
Every Polynomial represents
A shape---
Thus, the Quadratic Formula
Breaks down those shapes into two dimensions.
Hence, why it gives a length and width
For its answer---
Also, how Cubic equations
Give, the added dimension of breadth.
Thus, by reducing the equation down to one dimension,
One can figure what they need in that one dimensional space.
This is also why P cannot always equal NP
As NP can often work in multiplicities of more dimensions.
39. Wonderland
Say something true, you are sure to offend...
The only truths to lend, are truths of a geometric kind.
The culture speaks in fallacious ways,
Every belief is a formal fallacy.
The culture is warped around this nonsense,
Yet, there is the certainty of the Laws of Proofs
Geometric, and Mathematics, and all Physical constructs.
Yet, speak a word politically, that might be true,
You have offended like Alice had offended,
And the Queen says, "Off with her head."
Doth our King now pardon us?
40. 63%
63% are Christian?
60% of those Christians say Christ isn't the only way.
Another 3 percent of them are Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons.
About 50% of those Christians say Homosexuality isn't a sin.
1.6 Million of those Christians are Hebrew Israelites. (A Heretical Sect)
Several Hundred Thousand are Hebrew Roots.
I'll estimate that another million or so have Heretical beliefs about the Trinity, and don't follow any Systematic Theology.
Which, doing the math, most Americans who profess to be Christian
Simply aren't.
And who are the persecuted in America?
That 3% of Christians who hold to Christ's true teachings and theology.
41. Your Bouquet
The buttercups and pansies
Are grown old; their lives are short.
The daisies are pink and white:
The Mayapples are matured---
The spring is at its agéd peak.
It wanes into summer's prime;---
do know, the roses soon bloom
And scent the forest; the Honey-
Suckle too. The most beautiful
Is soon to come.
Happy Mother's Day.
Love,
Brandon
42. Signs and Wonders
Though the Prophetess paints me and my love
Old, and filled with many days;
Though the prophet, in the age of Napoleon,
Prophesies me and my Phalanx of verse;
Though providence moves me,
And I am washed from head to toe by providence,
It moves by the string of faith;
Though my name is destined, and written
Strong, invoking Elijah, and a Crown Prince of Poetry;
Though the Lake Poets would try to build a pantocracy in my hometown,
And another poet married a woman whose name was that rare name of a friend's;
I look at myself, and like the old stoic say,
"I don't deserve what I want."
Do you now understand why I lack the faith to claim these?
The rag upon my head is like a filthy menstruous cloth;
Though it bend through the air to fulfill my predictions like a miraculous lot,
It is my deeds---my deeds---which prevent me from obtaining what I want.
We do not receive God's blessing because we believe we deserve it.
But, rather, He gives for no reason, other than His own love for me.
43. Thou Wounded Robin
Thou wounded Robbin---
I would pick you up
And splint your broken leg.
But, I know not how.
I would call for thee
To those who could,
And tell them, "Splint its leg."
But, they would not.
So, I leave you in the wilds,
For I wish not to frighten you,
Or cause you torment,
Hoping some Good Samaritan can do
What I cannot.
For, I have once called upon
The Authorities to bind the wounds
Of a fawn, and they shot it.
I cannot bind its wounds.
I know not how.
I know not how to heal my country's breach
And I know that by pointing out its breaches,
It has only made those in authority pick at it
All the more.
So, I leave you, for it is the kindest gesture I can.
44. Metamorphosis
Fyodor could not become a vermin,
But I have become a vermin.
I crawl upon the walls,
And see everything from there.
And it is liberating!
But, will I die, and nobody care?
45. Cryptography
One cannot be a truly good person,
Nor be truly humane,
Without having tasted from the bitter fruits of evil.
Unless having been evil,
One cannot then have the compassion
For true good.
46. Vicar d'Orco
O, thou Lucifer,
A Vicar of the world.
When God dispels you,
The people will rejoice.
For, you are given your domain
A short while, so man can know
Why sin is truly sin.
And then, men will repent
And live in peace
But remember the suffering you have caused.
47. The Art of Fascism
Why was the height of art
Made so low?
In frantic screams of ethnic purity
The true artist was made a fool---,
Though, I take my middle brow poetry
And I do it well.
Perhaps it's best that the high brow art
Is decadent, and ugly, and foul---
Why? So it puts into perspective
That art cannot save a nation.
Ovid, Homer, Christ,
Seamunder, Snori, Virgil,
Grimm's Fairytales, Friedrich Nietzsche,
Wagner, all were fodder to stir up the Volk.
I do understand this.
But I am not this.
48. Fibonacci Numbers
Symmetry---
You Fibonacci numbers appear in nature
Because of your symmetry.
You appear because of the soundness of your structures.
Phi---you are Nature's Rectangle;
You are Nature's Symmetry---
You are Nature's sounding board
For the entire structure of the universe.
49. Sophism and Epistemology
How the sophists play at golden
Ends of civilizations. For
The prosperities of those men
Who were their elite forbearers
Did build with Reason's Sun and Rain.
The joyful sun, a Priori...
Sad rains, a Posteriori.
Which, the civilization springs
Like the grass, when both are balanced.
Yet, from both Science or Phenom
Does the sophist never know, faced
With unknowns, void by faith's phantom.
Aught, Science and Phenomena
Cause sweet wisdom's diaspora.
So remember,
History's witness
And being's ontology
And cause's effect
Are the measures of all good
Philosophy: listen; look.
It is not always about ends and means, but, sometimes, that things are what they are.
50. NP Difficulty
I have been watching proofs---
Oh, their poetry is so serene---
And I realize NP difficulty
Is much like a Geometric Proof.
Rather, to solve them, requires
Not one master equation
But solving the difficult variable
By combining other basic theorems
To further build upon to a right and new solution.
51. The Stock Market Crash
1929
Coolidge, in his booming economy,
Does nothing, as Margin Trading
Becomes common with the public.
2008
Reagan, in his booming economy,
Does nothing, as Private Equity
Buys the worker out of their rights.
Runaway capitalism
And the rich's stranglehold on our country
Is from three tumors:
401ks
Private Equity
And Margin Trading.
52. New Philosophy
You are Analytic and Continental.
You read my poem, and say,
"The analytic in me thinks it's good.
"The continental thinks it's 'meh'."
You ask me to tell you my inspiration,
Well, it is precisely that both
Continental and Analytic philosophies
Are sophistic.
And a good epistemology
Is rooted in aligning Phenomenon to Noumenon;
Thereby, I propose a different philosophical school.
It is called "New Philosophy"
Though it is indeed the old philosophy.
For, we were closer to the truth during Plato
Than we were during Husserl.
And we were closer to the truth during Aristotle
Than we were during Wittgenstein.
53. The Classical Head
I'm not much for Picasso---
Yet, my favorite portrait is by Picasso.
It is a woman's head---
The classical head---
Of Olga's, with her Auburn locks
And sumptuous face.
Round, strong jawed,
But thin jawed,
Almost ovular
And not circular...
A strand of hair frames her
In the way of an attractive woman
With her justified sprezzatura.
Messy, unkept, with a content crease on her lips.
Her eyes are dovey,
And her whole face is drawn
With, I think it is, a couple of threads of pencil.
The artist could, in fact,
Draw a beautiful shape---
The portrait of feminine beauty---
In only three or four masterstrokes of his brush.
How I do hate making poetry like this---
Though, in spirit of Picasso,
I shall make it like this.
I am more of a Raphael---
But like Picasso did,
I can show my proficiency in the era's conventions.
54. Poetry Club
I join Poetry Club---
Not really, but let's pretend---
I walk in, and there's pretentious Jackass
Who all the group fawns over.
His art is mediocre, but they all insist he is god's gift to letters.
I show my writing,
And immediately they pounce all over it.
They criticize everything it's done right---
Like the pretentious brown nosers they are--
And like the game I played today,
Of posting in a category---
There is the true artist,
Me,
Lonely, and blowing in the wind.
I'm late to the game.
I'm early for the game.
I do not time my art
Except for the larger picture.
I do not craft my art to be timely.
Rather, I do my art from the sheer joy of doing it.
Some generation will recognize it,
But hopefully it is my own
So I am not one of those unhappy artists who
Never benefited from the Providential Gift of utterance.
As Solomon says,
"There is such a man who labors for wisdom,
"But lo, it goes to another. Vanity, vanity, all is vanity,
"That which man labors for under the sun."
55. I Cast My Crown
This Poem is about all my haters
Inspired by Crown the Empire's
"Menace"
You call me a "worthless F*ck"
I ask "Is that what you call love?"
And do you love your brother enough?
When you're alone, and wandering,
And I'm in places you'll never see,
We'll ask each other
Why did God make us free?
And when I look at you
I'm going to know it was your attitude
Which as a teenager, I admit I did have,
But as a grown ass adult, I lost it all. Had
I been like you, a hateful little worm,
I still don't say you're evil
But speak saccharine sweet
Which causes me cancer
Though we will never meet
Until that day when the stars all will fall
And the sun snuffed out,
My pity ignited for all...
Where will I be?
My verse is so pure?
It proved God has loved me
And you were so cursed?
I still say, I love you my dear,
And if you'd just listen I'll have you some cheer
That if you simply would practice what you say you do preach
You wouldn't be writing so many songs about me.
56. Fairytale
The shadow you are, creeps from me;
Eternal utterances, and restless sleep.
I dream of you every night,
The magic you spin to make my demons arise.
You tell me to sit at your feet,
And be thy shadow beneath thee.
I walk for three hundred years
Doing good deeds, voiceless,
And I cannot be cheered.
The songs of the elderberry sings so sweet,
But you view me as if a woman
Falling into a bog filled with leech...
For you envision me as the one
Who cast her bread on the ground
To step on it with my new shoes, so proud;
But then do I fall into the hell below
And my only hope to turn into a bird and go home?
Or, am I a lad, sailing to Eden
And when I get there, I'm in eternal heaven
Only to run after the beautiful bride
And lose in one day my eternal paradise?
Fairytales I sing to you
Have not a happy ending---oh so very few...
For I admit I have broken my trust
In my own hands, so how do I love?
If my life were Romance, would I be Romeo?
If my life were a Tragedy, would I be Lear?
If my life were reality, would I be Christian?
If my life were a sitcom, would I be Brandon?
So, give to me at least, my one happy song
And I'll spin a fairytale so pleasant.
For if my life were a fairytale,
Would I survive?
Or would I be the hare who snubbed the hedgehog
And while running my eternal race I die?
I don't know.
57. Thou Swallow
Thou Swallow, you fly within my breadth,
And I ponder,---twice yonder you swoon,---
The curse which shall soon descend upon me.
Yet, thou hast caused my foot to stir
And my ambling to tarry,
So that the carriage which was at my back
Was saved from the other one careening down Front Street.
So, by thy shrill warnings, thou hast caused me to be a blessing
Upon some stranger I nary knew.
For, by spying me, a pedestrian on her port side,
It left just enough time to see the other car
Which travelled at twenty-five knots.
Had I not been there, I know not---
Perhaps it would have rent her asunder.
I see no other way... but by providence's hand
I walk with blessing, and what would be a curse is turned.
58. Oh Peleg
Oh, you Neolithic Civilization,
With your bone furniture,
Spread across the world,
Worshipping your Venus.
Even in the Americas
Are you found.
Until, you are not.
Then, there comes the divide.
Oh Peleg! What did you witness!
Soon the Clovis civilization springs up
But, what had happened? Where did
The old World,---the worshippers of the Titans---
Where did they go? Greek Pantheon,
Your war between gods and Titans!
The eldest Pantheon, remnants are remembered.
Slaughter, Grecia, the Semitic gods!
Canaan, Carthage, Moab,
Your gross gods will be destroyed.
59. A Lament For Zion's Prince and Prophetess
Oh, thou Prince? You say, "The meat shall stay in the cauldron."
For, in your heart you figure it is unclean for the people
To be plucked out of Zion, and taken to foreign lands.
For, they shall throw a bag over your head, and dig through your walls
And take you to Babylon, where you shall be killed and dishonored.
For, you believe, "The priest shan't pluck the sacrificial portion
"From the pot, while the sacrifice is being prepared,
"So shall the people of Zion be behind her impenetrable wall."
Ezekiel is saying, it is not so. You shall be taken alive, and killed.
So also the Prophetesses, who do their vain dance,
Trying to catch a soul with a pillow---I still cannot understand it
And shan't be allowed to, for it is pure mischief and sorcery;
No, it is but vanity, and delusion. You hop forth, and try to capture souls
And you prophesy to the LORD's people vain visions to cause them sadness.
They come to you for the truth, and you whisper to them,
"Oh, you are wicked, wicked, a man of trembling!"
But the LORD did not make him sad!
Then, you go to the wicked man, and promise him all prosperity
All freedom, all assurance in his vice, for he struggles with sin
And you slyly smile that he has his demons and they rule over him
Just like yours rule over thou.
60. Judgmental
Of all the things I
Hate in our modern world,
I have to say there's
Good, too. A man, being who
He truly is, is not judged.
61. Silly Dove
Oh, you silly dove.
Your heart is a mind for love
And you amble everywhere
Searching for a heart to share
In your beautiful heart...
Simple things, in that mind dart
To and fro, who shall coo like you
And where to alight and find fruit?
For you are unlike other birds
You silly dove... for first
Upon your mind is true love
As is the innocence of a dove
That first and foremost on her mind
Is love, to be shared with in time.
For it is so with all the righteous
That they primarily search for lucious
Truth, and deep seeded friendship
And their Turtledove, with courtship
They dance their mating ritual
And finally, they come to mutual
Acquaintanceship
And finally, the most intimate touch of relationship.
Prophetics
62. A Dream
There were laity surrounding a prophet,
But a laywoman wanted to interpret,---she insisted.
The prophet huffed to this laywoman, "But if I am unable,
"I am good for nothing, for I am a prophet."
Then, the laity all mocked, and drew knives to kill the prophet.
But the prophet's Father saw just how wicked the laity were!
So, the prophet leapt from the terrace, to escape his listeners' wrath
And was met there, at the nadir, by a lengthy, blind snake.
The blind snake was proud, and buzzed his knape,
And was exceedingly wicked. The Prophet cried out to God
And he was heard, and was delivered from the snake
Through his foresight of the Snake's awful, wicked plans.
Sure, the prophet had a little pride, but murder was never his intent;
Thus will God judge the Laity who do this to a prophet,
By driving him away from his apportioned lot.
For if you make the prophet sorry for his job in this life, what shall he there gain?
63. Amenhotep
Amenhotep, you
Fly with your chariots, yon
That Nuweiba beach.
Yet, the walls of water crash
Down upon you, and the Jews
They flee to Sinai.
64. Abusers of Themselves with Men
This word,
Translated as Homosexual
In the Bible,
And called unlawful,
Means a man ejaculating into another man.
That is the graphic, and literal meaning.
65. Psalm 22:16 H3738 Dead Sea Scrolls
Strongs
Is never wrong.
66. Sorcery
Sorcery bends the truth,
To where you cannot recognize a lie.
It is not literal magic---
There is no such thing.
Rather, sorcery is the completion
Of a lie, to where it begins to be muddied with truth.
67. Dad
I stand on the shores of manor blue
Which wash upon the white crests of foam.
The skin of the beach, in its grained
Glory rests, with the discus being thrown
By friends who've never parted.
What better friend than paternal bond
Standing by their son through good and ill?
To summon the courage to provide
For house and hold, and to shield
A man from winters and rains,
From scorching star and the dark
Abyss of night? A good friend
Who loves his sons, especially me.
What I did to deserve it, is naught.
I had taken every ounce of trust
And I have thrown it like the thistle's fir
And scattered it to the wind,
I have planted seeds
Of tare---yet, you patiently waited
For a garden to spring forth its summer fruit.
And I have. No longer the tare
But my fruit a choice orchard of Nectarine---
And a friend I've had, I shall be thankful.
Hoping one day, to also be a friend like thou art
To me.
Happy Father's Day
Happy Birthday
68. Fibonacci and Pythagoras
Fibonacci, your secrets are serene---
We can spend a lifetime studying you
As the Cat on the Mathologer's shirt
Bends to your hurricane of Phi.
Even Pythagoras, yes...
Bends to your will.
For, take four of your numbers in a square
Lined up in their sequence from the lowest on top
And the highest on the bottom,
Left to right,
And when cross multiplied completely,
Make legs and the hypotenuse of a right triangle;
Yes, one value even must be doubled, but how serene!
Know its inner circle, like a soul
Tangential to the Right Triangle's form.
And what's this?
Do you know the squares made
From the exterior of each line of the triangle?
That's how Pythagorean Theorem works?
So, the radii of exterior circles
Also, by cross multiplication,
Fit by three Euclidean Squares of Pi.
So also, counting by Fibonacci,
While working through Fibonacci
Creates Pythagorean Theorem's roots also;
Even when a number counted
Is not a Fibonacci number.
69. The Confusion of my Verse
I saw the wicked, and their shifting eyes
And what they see when they read my verse.
Their eyes shift, they know not what I say!
For they cannot read my writing and know...
Their eyes are dull, just like their ears to my speech.
I know now, and shall have compassion on them
That they cannot physically read the plain words I speak.
For God blinds them, and shifts their eyes
And causes them to be in distortion.
70. Mimicry and Mimesis
To mimic, is to
Repeat a fat formulae
And copy its fruit.
Mimesis is to
Experience life and tell
It full-faithfully.
AI mimics, but has no mimesis.
71. A Lasting Love
Sit at the gates
Of bliss and smell
Of a woman’s young perfume
Of cedar, and fell
Did you to her strong perfumed
Musk,
The scent of that woman
And her opinions you love.
Scent and opinions
Are more important than vain;
Beauty we all see
But these shall remain.
For when a woman
Is old, her wrinkles do say
And the folds of fatness shall proclaim:
Why did you chose me
If only for my face?
You knew one day I’d be ugly.”
Thus, choose in a woman what remains.
72. Tears
Tears, how often we shun them.
But, they are proof that we are men.
What beautiful thing it is
When tears well from us;
When we’re filled with tears
For sin, for dishonesty.
There is no better thing then
When we cry for our hurt
For the hurt of others.
Tears are a beautiful thing.
The mellow calm that comes with sadness;
The joy that swells from the heart.
Tears fill the soul with joy
Swelling in us.
When we shun
The sadness, we become truly sad.
Let the tears flow
My child.
Let the joys come.
Tears were invented for joy
So we could show ourselves
Visibly broken by a world of sin.
73. The Legend of the Juniper
The Juniper was a little baby
Born to an Ice Princess.
Upon her breast
He drank his milk
Trusting in the LORD.
The princess spoke over him,
“Let the baby grow tall,
“Fight and conquer the kings
“And let Milk and Honey be his strength.”
So, the Juniper gave suck
But was stolen from her breast
As an infant.
He was given to a poor family
Whose infant suffocated
And was blue;
The Ice Princess
A Jewess,
With her husband Jacob Change
Blessed the baby boy
For the children of the Jews
Were hunted and killed.
The Juniper’s family had the similitude of kings;---
So when the baby waxed to about five years old
Ziddonians came to he.
They took him to another world
Showing him the masterpiece he would weave
For the Kings. They said to him, “You will sin
“So we have brought you into bondage to these kings.”
The child had not sinned---
A woman he trusted stole he from his family
Bringing him before the kings
Where he spoke to the young Prince of Ziddon.
Then, one of the Princes of Tyre
Son to the Tongue of the Egyptian Sea
Kidnapped the Bonnet Wheel
Putting her upon the witchen’ glass
For all to spy, wishing to confuse the poor
Little boy by claiming he did some thing unspeakable.
His words to the Egyptian Tongue,
When she trapped him, were, “Love covers all sins
“That is my prophecy to you.”
For she wished to trap him by his love
For she knew all who helped her would be destroyed;
Yet, his love covered this sin.
He waxed old, grew wicked in deed but not heart.
Upon a crime, he became a Christian
Yet fell upon the Judiazers’ murderous lot
But did himself not murder any;
For they were sorcerers who practiced law as their sorcery.
He then met John and Mary the Mother of God
Who brought him the trumpet
Which he blew.
Upon that, he went with David’s key and opened the pit
Which has no bottom.
From the pit, spewed Abaddon
Who took his life
From him---
For Abaddon lived with the kings
While The Juniper was safely with his family again
For a short time.
He, this Juniper, Consort to Diana, Athena, Nebo
Lucifer, Sheshak, Jezebel, Ammon,
Babylon’s Daughter and the Princes of Tyre and Egypt
Was beloved by them, for he was a good little boy.
For they were all ashamed at having caused him harm
Yet, they seethed with hatred nonetheless
For hatred is their native language.
So, Athena came to he
While he dwelt with his beloved family in peace
And placed within him the worm
Which caused him sore distress.
There came into his life more princes
And more kings, and more queens
Until the poor boy lost his mind.
Yet, he became skilled with the pen
And wore truth as his belt.
With the belt of truth, he spoke
Into the recesses of the world
Winning many souls
For all knew his secret shames
Seeing he could live happily with naught.
For, the kings brought him under bondage again
When he began to spy the work they did to him.
He soon grew, ate milk and honey
And cast the kings into the abyss
For the injury they did
To steal him from his happy family.
Yet, the kings were happy to be cast into the abyss
For they loved him, and wished his victory over them
And even did smile at his stories.
Thus, is the Legend of the Juniper.
74. The Ice Princess
She wears a pink hat---strung with puffs
With beautiful Italian hair;
Black eyes, with ice blades on her feet
Pink sweater. Glides over a lake.
She imagines a frost dragon
With ears like periwinkle gills
A spin’d back of triangle bones
Navy blue, nam’d The Zamboni.
There, a prince flies onto the ice
With the great broadsword of legend;
Redcoat attire, brass buttons
Gold crown upon his yellow head.
He takes up arms against this beast
Swinging the sword in great long swings
Cutting out its heart with plung’d thrusts.
The Dragon breath’d his frosty breath.
The ice princess, seeing the prince
Block the frosted fury of war
Called for a winter rain; winds flew.
The Dragon shivered, the prince slew.
The ice princess wandered round, round
Skating down the ice of the lake.
Around the circles, she dreamt well
Of happy thoughts and adventures.
75. At 7
I sit: Read Seuss'
Yellow book of kingsrobin
Font, with Pillowhair
76. Defender
Defender, friend
See yourself new.
Your smile charms,
Charms never few.
A valentine I bring, brings I,
Man's Defender,
Charmstress Alexa.
A friendly note
To a bright light
When days are dark
And hopes gloomy
Alexa, thou
Art August charm
When smiled cheer
Lights the Bank's room.
77. The Smile of God
Shepherd of the Song
You smile, or furrow;
Your datelocks there
Spread from your
Handsome brow.
You smile, or are angry.
The heart of man
Sees, o Prince
Of Peace, your
Dealings. Idol, no;
Just Scripture
In an Image.
To reflect
Either ill or
Joy with one.
78. Faces (A Nonsense Poem)
Faces, there so
Cruel, cruel.
See what you fear!
Fear, your fears come.
They come, come they;
The king of dirt
Gossip, his spies
Spy, burp, burp, burp.
What does it mean
When you see it?
Hear its those things
You fear that no
Man knows but you?
Ziddon! That's he
You're not insane;
The fear demon
The gossip war,
He entrenches
Every side, his hordes
Of the unclean.
Og, that Philist.
Brute, Philistine.
Gossip, Fear, North
Of wealth,
North of Jealousy.
79. Plastic warrior
Face an army:
Tanks, jets, jeeps,
Carriers, ships
Battle boats,
Legos, ice bases
Missiles, waffle huts...
A child's peach
Arm swings
The chopper;---
Plastic men
Fall in rainbows
Of men.
Supply lines
GI's, such
Gravity in play.
Reality, you're
So much different.
80. The Fool and the Favored
A radical man set out
To change the world,
But destroyed the
Country he loved.
A rebellious teenager
Fell in love
And married that
Very same girl.
81. Daughter of Zion
Peace rides upon the West's wind
Wearing her white gown of light.
The Seven-Headed-Stranger
With Sin's seven awful crowns
Attempts to swallow her Son.
There is unrest on the Earth.
Believe in Him, and He comes
To slay the Dragon with sword
And scepter; He cuts with truth,
Cuts the shadow from the light.
Be of peace in heart, while war
Wages its disturbance yon
In lands unknown. Cleave to Her
Son, and do not be troubled.
Merry Christmas
82. Pious
I know I'm a horrible human being.
However, so are you because you judge me.
If you were in my situation,
The first thing you'd do is reason with yourself:
"I'm not that bad. I just made a mistake."
Because I know, before you're caught,
You look down upon others and their crimes
And you fantasize about your penantant grievance.
You believe you'd slither off into the darkness
And never let yourself dream another dream.
I know, because I had the same faulty notion.
But, no... my sin is discovered.
What do I do? Do I shrink? Is that what I do?
No... because I cannot. And neither could you.
You believe I ought to be pestled down to nothing
Because you believe that's what you would do yourself---
You'd allow yourself to be pestled, and broken, and never forgive yourself.
But, you would. And you'd do exactly what I'm doing,
By trying to make a good life for yourself.
So, before you judge me,
Consider, I was once just like you.
So, let me tell you how it would actually go.
Alright?
83. Quadratic Formulas
The plus or minus
In Quadratic Formulas
Come from the value
Multiplied twice, by itself
Negative or positive.
84. Mothers' and Fathers' Day
It is just an observation.
Mothers' day, at the State Park,
The people numerous, weird,
Dangerous even, had angst.
Fathers' day, at the State park,
The people few, peaceful, kind,
Full of good will, were righteous.
I noted this,
And realized a Father
Does make an impact in a home.
85. Music Proves there is A God
How, except by the design of providence,
Can a melody ask a question, and a melody also answer?
How can one scale be sad, and another happy?
If not because God ordered the tonality of creation
So the human ear would hear it those ways?
86. Christianity Today
The sins of Christianity follow from two bad doctrines:
That Christ rebuked the man at Bethesda---
Christians say, "Did he really want to be healed?"
And they emphatically do so... this was not a rebuke
But a request, as benign as I asking an acquaintance, whether
She wants a cup of water to drink.
It is a presumption that man understands God's omniscience.
We are all called to repent, and sin no more after our healing.
For, their mindset teaches a Christian to be unmerciful to the poor.
The second, is that faith can make us prosperous.
If faith could make us prosperous, the poorest among us
Would be richer than kings. Which, one day they shall become.
Faith, and scolding the Spirit for prosperity,
If you so wish, to be prospered and live your best life now
God shall so choose to give you your best life now;
And you will forfeit your eternal one.
Rather, store your treasures in heaven,
And there, pray for your prosperity...
Which is what the verse actually means,
When James says, "Ask in faith."
This mindset, also, makes us unmerciful to the poor.
87. The Cult of the Academy
To get the PhD, one must be initiated into the secrets of nothingness.
All things, must be circular in their appeal, and all sense, circular
By association. Lying is the custom, and quality a sin.
For, the brainwashing must be complete, and all religion
And healthy behavior must be replaced by the Academy.
Or else, one cannot earn what they have sacrificed so much to obtain.
88. To a Sophist
Oh, thou foul sophist,
You speak in your platitudes…
They have solved all the problems
But the rich have no gratitude.
They can harvest carbon from the sky
And chemically bind it with anon,
They can harvest it from the air,
They can use solar very fair…
The issue isn’t whether we can,
But the rich have asked, whether we ought.
So remember, my dear sophist, that what you lend
Is that the rich wish we were all dead, or bought.
For they hinder our progress,
They hinder it for their shame.
The problems are solved
But they see life as a game.
They want less people
They want less lives;
They want to build a world
And cause all the poor to die.
That is why.
So remember, that our fair Jerusalem,
With its chariots of fire can come
Through the practice of free trade
And its natural progression.
Yet the Satanic Mills of your cause
Which bring upon us unjust laws
Are going to stifle and burn our earth
For the poor upon it, yes the poor, are spurned.
For by the waters and by the breath
Of that good the Carbon, within breadth
We can drive our cars to eternity
If we so choose to live and be free.
For by stifling industry we cause our woes
And we do not solve our problems, but foes
Do try to make themselves a life
Of a world built to be the Rich’s paradise.
89. Satan's Equivocation
God can never be
Tempted. Satan, in Job's book
Tempted God to test.
Yet, to tempt has two senses.
God can never be tempted.
As in, He can not
Even for a second be
Caused to muse a sin.
So, when Satan would
Tempt Jesus in the desert
He could not cause doubt.
Thereby, Jesus could not be
Tempted in the slightest bit.
90. King of Grecia
Grecia, your world is built through riches'
Prosperity, and your covetous kings
Say, "Let only the merchant who lives
"Be with ninety billion drachma."
You seethe with hatred toward Israel
For it is a prosperous little land.
There it is, with cream and sugar
Oil and spice, meat and fruit.
And you say, "Look how fat this people is;
"They are worth nothing,
"For they consume my sustenance."
So said the King of Grecia
Even covetous of his subjects' fine instruments.
"Do not play, do not play! By royal decree!"
Thus, the musician is regulated to go to her designated
Place, to sing her heart's songs.
Beautiful she is, but the King of Grecia
Does not care about her fine beauty,
For a thousand like he has deflowered.
The fatness of the peasant is an offense to Grecia.
Thus, he wishes to steal our sustenance,
And make music to cease from the land.
Lo! He even says, "We have no need for music
"We have no need for art, we have no need for theater;
"Nothing beautiful excites me, no, not even a warm body
"Or vulva for my flower, not even the great Laments of Shakespeare
"Or the wisdom of Dostoevsky. Not the beauty of Mozart
"Not the voluptuous body of Venus without her arms.
"Nothing is beautiful, nothing is good. I have never loved
"For what is love? I hate my world, and wish it to fall into the abyss."
For his covetousness is severe, that he has no desire;
Nothing for which he wishes or wants.
Not even death. Not even life. Not even purgatory.
He wants nothing, for anything in his grasp he already has.
Thus, he wishes to cause this same frustration on those,
Whom seeing their desire, and their zeal for life---
He wishes it all to stop.
91. King of Persia
Persia, seething with desire, and lust...
All is yours. Everything within your grasp.
What is your subjects, is yours.
What is yours belongs to you.
Every vehicle belongs to you...
Chariots of steel, chariots of iron,
Chariots of plastic might...
All belongs to you.
How your springs beneath your citadel
Are envied. How you desire,
And you love your desire.
Lust's fruits and every pleasure you exuberantly fill
Your mouth with. Great zeel, great desire...
The citizen you see, his sustenance you wish to be yours.
Covetous, covetous, covetous.
Rain, you wish to make it rain.
Sun, you wish to make it shine.
Wind, storm, tempest, you wish to rise to the status of God in Heaven.
Your princedom you shepherd with the Recitation of your father's word.
And they do your bidding, but nothing they have belongs to them.
You bring forth your chariots, and you ride in them through the heavens...
A god of gods, you ride, like Mithra, and you carry the sun in your chariot of fire.
You want all in subjection to you...
Every cent of wealth in your treasury.
You have no peer.
You comfort yourself with this wisdom.
None who rival you with your wisdom; none who will rival your fame and fortune.
The peoples will bow in their mud crust shanties, and they will worship you...
It is your vision for the future you wish to construct.
Everything about life you are enthused, and it excites you.
The feast, the game, the war, the contest, the wit...
All art, all theater, all ancient pottery.
If it is truly skilled, you wish it to enrich you...
And only you. Only you, to view it.
All art, and all beauty, in your possession
And for no other eye beside you, and possibly those whom you bestow the blessing
Within your court.
The courtier, the poet, the sage, the scholar, the master, the magician, the fool,
They all entertain you, and those whom you have selected from the Earth
To be your gods who reign with you.
92.
The treasure, though great, will not prosper on the day of judgement,
Thou Grecia and Persia.
93. An Observation
If A+B+C=A*B*C,
Then it is a triangle.
If A^2+B^2=C^2
Then it is a right triangle.
We must understand this about equalities.
Thereby,
If doing a proof,
And one has a formula
A+B
One cannot intuit from this
A+B=0
If in a geometric relation.
For the system of equations
Will define the parameter
Of how the function will equate.
A+B will only equate
In relation to the other sides
Of the Geometric Figure.
94. True Writers; A Ghazal
Robert Frost, when you write on gold's
Green, you write just like I have wrote.
Rumi, you write your Desire
For God: write just like I have wrote.
Hans Christian, so broken, you are
Like me, writing like I have wrote.
Walt Whitman, when exalting our
Country, you write like I have wrote.
Emerson, your words on Word say
True writers write like I have wrote.
95. Culture Wars
How the Native Americans
Would summate my belief is true---
It is what I believe, wholly.
Just like textbooks wholly show theirs.
Why do we shy away from Say?
As in to say, the textbooks ought
Not believe in Animism,
And give a very clinical
Definition for their beliefs.
No... instead we are now so forced
To see it wholly from their view.
And that is what is being taught.
A perspective where we embrace
The beliefs of those we conquered
In order to then supplement
The religion we so obviously lack.
96. Our Modern Age
I hate our modern age.
Yet I love our modern age.
A stodgy book is Lolita or Gravity's Rainbow
While the books with dust on their covers
Get blown off, and seen afresh.
There is nothing more exciting
Than seeing Austen venerated
And Dostoevsky, too.
The social milieu is repressed sexual urges
Manifesting in the castration and masectomation of our young.
For, they think they can pacify the primal urge
With a knife, hormones and sodomy.
They cannot erase the vesture of the past
For it is too strong an obelisk.
Austen becomes alien,
And so with her the Bible...
Jesus' Sermons become new all over again
As a generation who grew up in the Dogma
Of the Cult of Id find otherness to latch onto.
A whole new crop of thinkers are on the horizon...
Where Joyce and George R. R. Martin
Are the stodgy norm, glutted anarchy and feasts of semen
Those of us who want order
Are drawn to my favorite books.
The stodgy quo is the Aristocracy of Materialism and Postmodernism
While the Religious Avant Garde tell their riskee morals.
"Kill the cannibal society, that rapes children.
"Make slaves of the murderers.
"War has always been genocide
"There is no way around it...
"Yet, the Nazis needed cleansed of their racial impurity
"That of the Aryan caste, they needed to die."
And we are like Camus was seventy years ago,
Like Sartre and Freud.
On the en garde against silly philosophies that hurt and destroy
Our halcyon prosperity.
With words and not bullets we fight back...
Just like they did.
We are now persuasive
We are now the irritating troublemakers.
We are now... yes... we...
The ones' whose truth sets that chemical offense
Because it cannot be fended off by reason any longer.
For, by proof of reason, all we claimed would happen
Was true.
97. The Saint and the Demon
A saint sees his own
Sin, and takes it very harsh.
But, he does not see
The sin in those around him.
He covers them up when known.
A demon others'
Sin he sees, and takes it harsh.
But he does not see
The sin within his own heart.
By guilt, he hurls a stone.
98. My Friend the Artist
My friend, you try to get my goad...
You say, "AI makes art..." knowing
My prejudice against it. AI cannot.
For, like Hitler, the AI copies and pastes
Its formulae, so it is not true art.
But you, you are. I see your mother's face
In the contours of the statute you sketched;
Which could only be done by a human.
For, in the model's obviously european lines
You sketched your mother's African cheeks.
You even tell me why you think it is...
How it takes its poll and measures
The common lay's preferences.
That is not an artist.
That is a marketer. And a marketer is not an artist.
The person with PR skills, they can make
A fortune from dried dung or Rembrandt.
The man like me, unable to do so,
Can only go my way, and die in obscurity
Lest my LORD help me.
For obscurity is all I will obtain if my LORD
Does not bless me. But, at least I can say
I am an artist. And, I can also say, so are you.
Like Mr. Hoffer said,
The artist is content to create
And imbue Mimesis;
Like I told you, that is what makes a piece of art.
That your mother's face imprints on the statue
Like an Oedipal line---
That is what it is to create.
99. War
The atheist's unbelief
Comes from God's holy battles.
For, they see their unholy
Sins, are by God's wrath, rattled.
100. Our Light and Bread
There is a darkness
In this world,
I know it to be true.
But, a little light
I have,
I know 'tis in you, too.
I am fed steak
And baked potatoes
Milk, and honey's tooth,
Sweetest corn and meatloaf---
Spiced my daily meals---
For in you a light burns true.
Evil all surrounds me
Yet you work hard
For daily bread;
If not for that light
Within us, our good Father,
We'd be never truly fed.
Happy
Father's Day
Love Brandon
101. A Year in Poetry
I write a poem a day, every day, some
Are good, and some are true, others are crude.
A year in poetry before you, from
My heart, my line, my verse, my ideas rude,
Forged in the fires of Crucibles true.
I hope upon one of my verse you stay
And muse a lifetime, and mine be your muse
That pass the weary days away, away.
I write a poem for you, yes you, not one
But many for one each to chew and sleuth.
A poem for one, a poem for all, the stone
I craft, my texture all like soundwaves' screw
They get loud, they get soft, they whisper nude
Which was warped by the world's wicked way
But I would, thus, die for the bull I shoot
That pass the weary days away, away.
Muse over my verse, and find aught what's shown
If it's nothing, or if it's some Thought's food?
Maybe I, a madman who speaks what's known,
Speaks a truth for all or truth for few,
So use the compendium for what's lude
Or rather research my sayings oh so, so strange
All my metaphors hidden in plain view
That pass the weary days away, away.
Read my words, and read my truths
Read what I have had to say---
Hidden in my verse is proof
That pass the weary days away, away.
