SONG OF THE DAY: Conditioning



I am out of shape, poorly so, but so is the state of society. Should probably get my shit together in case we have to start killing each other with machetes over bags of rice.

freestyle sonnet #080: BUILDING SANCTUARY AGAINST ABSTRACT MATH

(The Bird Tribe - meaning my family - currently got a GoFundMe going to try and purchase the land surrounding our compound, to work into the compound and make a plant sanctuary for my ol' lady's herbal practice, and an extension of my illegitimate arts, and also to keep from being broken into tiny plots of power gridlock. Please visit the page, and drop five on it if you can.)

Manmade math mostly builds off abstract foundation,
thus land lacks value unless fractured/fragmented
into parts and parcels - complex exploitation
of raw (wild) into refined (planned), represented

by bank's co-sign to development but never
to leave alone. And yet land (Earth) best left alone
helps those broken by subtraction or dissever
from Earth, who also have no abstract value known

(thus "broke" as well), to reconnect with larger whole,
and hopefully find wholesome larger than any
lump sum. The biosphere's not pieces to control,
but intertwined place where peace is - vast and plenty,

for those working to cultivate sanctuary,
(while manmade divisions work to the contrary).

freestyle sonnet #072: NONSENSE GIBBERISH SONNET ODE TO CYBORG CHUPACABRA AWARENESS


I have seen the cyborg chupacabras lurking
at edge of ash bored pine forest - THESE THINGS ARE REAL!
Able to feed on organic beast blood while working
artificial intel processors made of steel

and copper don't rust, these Yakubian devil
creations' eyes glint in dark like lasers lime green,
seeking out where living stock resistors revel...
The gamecocks I've painstakingly trained to focus mean

spirit after patriotic peacock displays
of false pride, slowly picked off one-by-one each night,
their bloodless carcasses left behind to abrase
will to resist. I "escape" through digital flight

but those cyborg chupacabra eyes (with strength) peer
amid that cybertronic controlled biosphere.

freestyle sonnet #070: TOO MANY FAKE ACCT PEPE MAGA TWITZ TO BE REAL (UNLESS PPL ARE FAKE) BULLSHIT ASS SONNET

Russian eggs designed with digital precision
echo Presidential sentiments before they
even happen, coordinated truth fission
into multiple realities. Brave new day

where new world re-orders self (again) according
to destinies manifest through technology,
colonizing psychologies. Those affording
gates wrought iron enough further biology

goals of Yakub, heads becoming bigger with strong
flow of American meme, heart font impacted
by dehumanizing identity headlong
into don't give a fuck. Though details redacted,

the manufacturing of deplorable pride
is plasticized, not stone, thus with hammer denied.

freestyle sonnet #030: ODE TO THE 2-HR LUNCH BREAK

Writing sonnets to occupy empty spaces
of day-to-day, which don't ever feel free, thus these
freestyle meditations fog out the rat races
going on around me. Life feels like a disease,

at least with regards to ways we *make a living* -
breathing feels paused, anxieties constant increase
manufactures clenched existence, unforgiving
posture bracing for impact against lack of peace

of mind. I used to self-medicate steadily,
and quit to break cycles, thus now hide behind word
scribbles like alcohol was used - I'll readily
admit I'm weak/wack/lost cause/lost effect/absurd

*man* trapped only in mind, but shit feels confining,
so fuck it, I'm out - see what blue sky's divining.

four thousand years blurred vision
dashing down asphalt back roads,
not fearing forest monsters
