Hudibras: Part 3 - Canto II
THE ARGUMENT
The Saints engage in fierce Contests
About their Carnal interests;
To share their sacrilegious Preys,
According to their Rates of Grace;
Their various Frenzies to reform,
When Cromwel left them in a Storm
Till, in th' Effigy of Rumps, the Rabble
Burns all their Grandees of the Cabal.
THE learned write, an insect breeze
Is but a mungrel prince of bees,
That falls before a storm on cows,
And stings the founders of his house;
From whose corrupted flesh that breed
Of vermin did at first proceed.
So e're the storm of war broke out,
Religion spawn'd a various rout
Of petulant Capricious sects,

God's Two-ness
I prayed to understand
God’s two-ness:
God within me said,
‘I am in you; and you in Me;
yet when I hear
the glorious sounds of singing praise,
the open heart of gratitude,
the words of wonder and of love,
and see the shining eyes,
I am the world for you;
and cast My Two-ness
like the sweet Spring rain.’

It Is Not You
a broken heart is not you.
it's another heart in another body.
it's not me anymore.
it's not even the name
that you always mention
that you attach to
my memory
it is just this broken-ness
just this
that i cannot touch and kiss
just this
unleaving, without a skin or body
it is just the broken-ness
in us, and no other
a word, an idea, a concept,
a connotation that we always
speak of
or if not, that we really want to

Swimming
So soothing the warm hand
which poises, glides across
the eddies of my soul
and quiets the waters there.
Your Heart dips its oars
to my deepest depths
stirring my swimming-ness.
I open my mouth like the fish
and drink you in-
huge gulps.
I swirl inside the water-spout
and fall into the ocean-ness
where we both exist
in the quiet bliss
of our contentment.
Where in life does this ocean live-

A Dispute
A dispute controls an explosion,
They built them on the line of writing;
Just why do hundreds debate and abandon?
The living of right is worth reporting.
A dispute managed the experiment,
Hitting and replaying like silver and gold;
My replying worsened, I was diligent
And angry that life became old.
The maddening went on and on, like fire
Blazing in souls, futures did burn,
I didn’t burn or catch fire or admire
This innocent help that made me learn.
Upper class strengths conceal their all ness,
And tall ness may acquire anatomy of riches,
This contained wealth to adore with abruptness,
Your feelings are hidden in adages.

Done With My Ways
Come to me!
Come
Come
Come
Come
Come
Come and see,
My heart is open.
Please believe,
I'm done
Done
Done
Done
Done
With all the mis-erry...
Dropped,
From hope-less-ness.
Then!
But I've changed,

African Child
AFRICA CHILD
Africa child a leader in the world
Africa child you grow so tender
In the two hands of your mother
Into a matured man to move the world
You really sucked the milk
Of your Africa mother with love, strong ness, neatness and greatness.
You were seen when little like a dull person but proved them all wrong.
Oh! Child you greatly moved the world
By showing your Africa ness in- you through the power
A leader in the world you are
I believe other continent
Will see your glittering black with a very good respect and integrity.
Child, I greet you with respect
‘Cos you are the colour that spark

Corporate Intellects
They come in all sizes.
Those who take cheap shots!
With their lowbrow racist disguises.
To end up saying...
They do not abuse,
With the use of such devices.
Corporate intellects...
Fusing amusements with a seriousness.
Then attempt to explain,
Their lame brain-ness.
To say they are not,
The nasty snots they appear.
Only to confuse actions done...
That are overwhemingly crystal clear.
They have taken positions,
To advance their sick conditions.
And believe it okay...

I Know 'She' Nosy
I know 'she' nosy.
She know she nosy too.
I know 'she' nosy.
She know she nosy too.
All up in my biz'ness...
Like its hers
And she aint got 'that' wit me.
Oh no...
No-no.
Everytime I see her,
She wanna stop...
To give me her 3rd degree.
She believes I'm hers,
'Cuz I was once...
And wanted to be.

Come the Dark
Come the Dark again
I will be steel this time,
my Heart
Ready-Strength,
toned.
Come the Dark
my Hope's Re-enforced
my Faith Renewed'
and I shall toss aside
Diminishments
and Negativities
and Seething Flutterings.
I will wave
that Wand
which is Hearth and Kin;
