Amongst the minds of animals that of man leads, not as a demigod from another planet, but as a king from the same race.

Station Dog
The spirit of the place
lives inside the mangy body
of the station dog
doing penance for the last
three hundred years under
the tree of arrivals and departures
the dog opens his right eye
just long enough to look at and see
whether you're a man or a demigod
or the eight armed railway timetable come
to stroke him on the head
with a healing hand
and to take him to heaven
the dog decides
the day is not yet.

Let Us Not Talk About This Poor Little Me
my dearest darling
from out there
in faraway paradise in that wonderland
i have not been
in this cyberspace
please do not talk about this poor little me
let us talk about
the great
rich you
it will surely be exciting
you are the great demigod
i am your adoring
slave
and yet, you still insist
with this lowly state
to talk about me?

That’s What They At The Asylum Now Say
I have walked in wait of my own death
I have swam and drowned in my own life
I have climbed only to sink beneath the sky
I have crawled belly-down and stood on-high
I have wrestled with hatred only to find love
I have been the bully who first needed a shove
I have been quick-tempered deep into manhood
But old age mellows that adolescent boyhood:
At least that’s what they at the asylum now say
Little does this white walled demigod know?
He too is buried under the walls of Pompeii...
His life to a moulding of death anther Stucco...

Heal Thyself
Allopathic medicine is man made,
Useful for physical trauma and infection,
Mostly Voodoo medicine, inexact and flawed.
Demigod doctors pander chemical pharmaceuticals,
Offering side effects worse than what’s treated.
“Hippocratic Oath”...traded for dollars
Time has arrived for all to know;
All healing is God-Given…
This does not mean we’re powerless,
By directing prana/chi with prayerful/loving intention,
All malady must succumb to God’s-Will,
For our natural state of being is perfect health,
To know this you have but to see a newborn baby
Heal Thyself!

The Diadochi
When word was brought that Alexander was dead
In Babylon, gossips said it was not true;
For if that demigod spirit had shed
So vast a corpse, its corruption then through
The whole world would reek; men from Carthage
To India would pause and sniff the air,
That by the stench declared the End of Age
Like an incense-wafted funeral prayer.
Yet he was dead, and in time earth did stink
With the metal tang of blood. Forty years
His funeral games were held, and men did think
His dying crueler than his life. More tears
And blood they shed, his diadem to strive,
Than he had spilled in Asia, when alive.

Sonnet: How One Should Live
Emulate man must, the good in others;
Not the vices that lead to take quick stardom;
Flock together birds of the same feathers;
Empoisoned a soul, recovers seldom.
Spirit when denatured, can’t be consumed;
To gain Heaven, renounce one must Satan;
That God is very kind, man has assumed;
Evil-minds could need the whip and baton.
Judged will be ev’n insane by the Maker;
Man dare not ev’r play a demigod’s role;
The Feast is open; where is the taker?
Through good deeds, man must splint his ‘fractured soul.’
A rich man’s soul may live in poverty!
Heaven’s far from one’s earthly liberty.

Beneath The Skin
It was not a demigod, elephantiasis
of a beast, snakes sitting on head. A catastrophic
tree view.I was proud of being alive during
carpet-bombing. A catnip was needed to clear
the vision. The town was moving out shedding
its landmarks. Nocturnal flares were disturbing
the lovers. A chronic shift in sex starved
season. The birds had stopped going behind
the bushes. Each day seeks permission to bury
the dead, and grass waits for the noble feet.
Ultra hemo cover was not there. Drained out
we were becoming pale to account for the loss
of blood in cross-firing. Ultimate pain in chest
will unburden the task of a funeral prayer.

Spontaneous Healing
Imagine…
No more HMO’s,
No more hospitals,
No more clinics,
No more mental asylums,
No more demigod-doctors,
No more pharmaceuticals,
No more surgery,
No more health insurance,
No more medical profiteers
How can this be so?
Nears the age of personal healing,
When some awaken to “A Great Secret”
The ability to transmute matter and energy
When human beings claim personal power,
When remembered an inborn ability to heal,
When “Laying on of hands” banishes,
