fully me

2015-12-26 10.49.35

you may have lost
all interest with me
no longer can you look
straight into my eyes
and let me see
more than just
the outer you
you intentionally
lower your head
eyes diverted
to the ground
so to cut
yourself off
from seeing like before
into my inner world
the heaven and hell
body   ~   mind and soul
that’s fully me

I fully support Hillary Clinton

can you hear in the current
political movement
that
resurgent
murmur
more prevalent
in days gone by
within the disposition
of human existence
dormant viral
traits of
human behavior
just thirsting for
its former prominence
and once again
become this inhibitor
to the intelligently progressive
human process
toward
a societal environment
and ideology
that fully supports
the inalienable rights
a part of THE LAWS OF NATURE
~   that freedom of choice
prosperity
justice
and equality for all
THE HUMAN RACE
is not a lofty goal
for We the people
to achieve
its progression
should be a basis of fear
and should be suppressed
that it is not a Godly virtue
to support the development
of all
colors of   ~
skin
sex
gender
nationality
ethnicity
culture or belief

in the year 2016
Donald Trump’s
political ideology
and vision
is a digression
and not befitting of
ALL THE HUMAN RACE
as our race
intelligently progresses
through the annuls of time

’cause of such
it is my resolve
in the year 2016
to fully support Hillary Clinton
for President of the United States of America

Donald Trump…
in my vision of America
I show you no disrespect
I just don’t believe the way you do …..

This poem is dedicated to Amy Siskind and Amy King for trying to make the world a better place. Yes I have noticed. Peace Out Humanity !

~ peace out humanity ~

peace out

~  peace out humanity ~

a fruitless sentiment
ineffectual communication
if planted with a seed
barren of  ….
the right kind
and amount of  …..
direct action

he is my friend and mentor
part of  …..
the reason
why I’ve turned up
the dial for the heat of   ~
the societal stove
as a social activist
performance artist
I use this kind of   ~
direct action art
to create a body metaphor
while participating in an event
like a marathon
I artistically wear
black running clothes with a hood
a symbolism for bringing back
the light
out of    ~
the darkness
hidden social ills
that plague THE HUMAN RACE
to be aired out
and confronted through
the healing process of  …..
dialogue
that will lead humanity
to a healthy
and peaceful coexistence

~  peace out humanity  ~

a fruitless sentiment
ineffectual communication
if planted with a seed
barren of  ….
the right kind
and amount of  …..
direct action

this mentor and friend
of   ~
mine
has shown
the world and to me
his propensity towards peace
not violence
he took part in orchestrating
a variation to direct action
the pouring of   ~
blood
like the biblical sacrifice
on draft records
in the late sixties
he went to jail
for this public casting in stone
as if a reenactment
the once again etching of   ~
one of   ~
the ten commandments
“thou shall not kill”
an ideological purpose
communicated in a way
to bring this
punctuation mark
attention to  ….
that humane cause
called PEACE
I’ve stayed at his home
went to the local flee market
where he   ~   his better half
and fellow comrades
engage the people
with their social activist
type of   ~
message
I have discussed at length
with him
about the methodology of   ~
direct action
at times as pointed
as an arrow shot to the heart
the pros and cons of   ~
its ability
to effectively communicate
to the people
as far as
the way to obtain
world healing
a kind of   ~
direct act
that communicates
a healing dialogue
among We the people
that would
eventually
create an environment
that leads to world peace
and where sometimes
the type of   ~
direct action used
could receive more attention
thus distracting away
….    obscuring
the message
being communicated
for the cause

~  peace out humanity  ~

a fruitless sentiment
ineffectual communication
if planted with a seed
barren of  ….
the right kind
and amount of  …..
direct action

he helped critique
and wrote an endorsement
for the first book in my series
Nature  ~  IQ: Let’s Survive,
Not Die !
a spiritual
poetic  ~  prose essay
through the eyes of   ~
a mystic
about seeing the value of   ~
proactively working together
to improve
the overall well-being of   ~
humanity
a community stew type of   ~
direct action
a proactively humane
social process
taken on
communicated appropriately
and advanced
by We the people
ALL of   ~
THE HUMAN RACE
as one race
no matter
the color of   ~
skin
sex
gender
nationality
ethnicity
culture or belief
a diversity of  …..
ingredients
tasty enough for all
filled with the right kind of  ….
nutrients
that nutritiously stirs
a dialogue for healing
within human
collective consciousness
a paradigm shift of   ~
enlightenment
that through a process of  …..
intelligent progression
future generations of  …..
THE HUMAN RACE
become the creators of   ~
World Healing
where such a direct action
effectively communicated
will spiritually lead
a healed humankind
to a loving coexistence of   ~
World Peace

~  peace out humanity  ~

a fruitless sentiment
ineffectual communication
if planted with a seed
barren of ….
the right kind
and amount of …..
direct action

he is my friend and mentor
social/peace activist David Eberhardt

story style poem about finishing

12273621_1223759780971311_7895499755538589962_o

This revised story poem from a previous book is dedicated to my muse, photography mentor, fellow artist and eternally dear friend, Regina Walker …. I will always be there for her as she has for me.  Peace and Love !

as the days of December
come to their finish in 2015
I ponder the objectives
I had chose to finish
by the end of the year
like running and finishing
a marathon
as a performance artist
who would create
a body metaphor
that included wearing
all dark clothes
with a hood
which I did in Richmond VA
and finishing
this story style poem
the last of all written
for each monthly edition
of the Year of the Poet II
along with my other
esteemed
Poetry Posse
social activist artists
published by Inner Child Press
but some objectives
I did not finish
and will have to be
carried over
into the ones
for next year
’cause I still
haven’t finished getting
the tattoos
on my arms and legs
with words that make up
the title of my book series
Nature ~ IQ:
Let’s Survive, Not Die!
and the symbols for each book
a baby ~ a butterfly
and an eagle
….. my mentor Regina Walker
still has to write that article
about my vision and mission
for doing all the things I do….
my book
Peace Out Poems
about
MY
ABNORMALITIES
NORMAILY
and about her and I
…… finishing in June 2016
a 16 mile walk
a part of Team S.O.L.E.S
the Out of the Darkness
Overnight walk in NYC
for the AFSP
I will never finish being there
for her as
she has been for me
~ ‘cause
in doing so ~
by staying proactive together
not overly focused on our own
trials and tribulations
but more on the plight
of others
especially
those who suffer
from the emotional pains of
depression
or being bipolar
’cause of their
mental condition
may consider
the finish of life
through the act of
suicide ~
in the act of helping others
to survive
we hopefully
will help ourselves
along with
everyone else
finish the walk of life
in joy
fulfillment
and most of all
with the feelings
of love and peace

however ……
just like
THE HUMAN RACE
the Poetry Posse
The Year of the Poet
and the memory
of friendships made in life
…… during the struggle
some things don’t need to finish

I’m a finisher that prays
not all things should have a finish
however …..
I’m finished with
this story style poem
about finishing

peace out

not everything…. must end

every  ~  thing in Nature
must end
like the year does
at the end of December
We the people
of the human-kind
THE HUMAN RACE
inherently grow old
and tire-out
eventually
at the end of our lives
our bodies wither away
as dust
under the stars
of heaven
we acquiesce
to the laws of Nature
whether it be
peaceful or not
…..  after our end
We the people
of the human-kind
THE HUMAN RACE
do live on though
through the help
of artifacts
left behind
for a while
in the memory of those
still alive

do such endings
to our human life
this end
somehow diminish
our good deeds
our contributions
to the living
where We the people
of the human-kind
THE HUMAN RACE
~   our acts
our proactive manner
to initiate change
for the betterment of all
weren’t worthy
of our effort
and time
hold no lasting value
or benefit
for our kind
THE HUMAN RACE
that maybe
we should have not
done them
in the first place

God bless those who do
who took the chance
to give back to life
more than they received
saw the wisdom in doing so
before their end
despite the inherent ending
of We the people
of the human-kind
THE HUMAN RACE

every ~ thing in Nature
must end

not everything ….

peace out

if Bertie can ~ SO CAN I

387173_213385868_Medium

Dedicated to my Muse RLF as she lives the day to day struggle associated with MS and Fibromyalgia.

as I ran those finishing
miles ….  of the Richmond
Virginia Marathon
this performance artist
dressed in all black with a hood
an artist using art to create change
for all THE HUMAN RACE
regardless
of skin color
sex
gender
nationality
ethnicity
culture
or way of belief
I’m running this race
from start to finish
to create
this breathing
dynamic
and proactive
body metaphor
today
for all watching to see
to promote my
Slavery in America
Image with Words Collection
~  Virginia Edition
exhibited in
The Urban Individualists Gallery
at Art Works
on Hull Street in Richmond
….. my thoughts drift back
to all those
early morning hours
how hard it was to get
my old and achy
arthritic body going
~    stretching it
~    twisting it
~    rotating it
~    strengthening it
those 400 stomach crunches
~    drinking plenty of water
~    sticking into my mouth
a vitamin and an Aleve
before stepping outside
into the darkness
the hot to the cold
I’d say to myself
if Bertie can
get up and moving
as she lives
her day to day struggle
associated with MS and Fibromyalgia
SO CAN I
I will lose the weight
improve my health
I will run that marathon
to show all I love
THE HUMAN RACE
I am living a life
with a purpose
not just living a life
that spiritually
the key
the road
the journey
the race
to a fulfilling
and joyous life
is focused on doing and giving
more to others
than I’d expect to receive
from them

’cause
if Bertie can
SO CAN I

peace out
