Behold

The pillars of ancient times

Each representing
A man of incredible strength!

We hold them accountable
For all the pain and sorrow
In the world

And then
We hold them to stand erect
Against all forces of evil,
And foes

Even facing the might
Of tornados and hurricanes
Will not bend
Of falter them

Mighty are the pillars
Of these men through humility

And gently is their sword

Preface

(Honor)

The thin line
Between
Acknowledging
A conqueror’s
Greatness
And not
Worshipping them
Lies in the restraint of hate
Equaled with
Seeking a
Balance, shouldered
By the conqueror

For only this
Brings forth
Honor
Out of War

CONCEALED - WHERE THE WEAPONS NAVIGANT - TO WHICH
DESTINY CONSUMED - AWAITED THEM UPON PILLARS
OBSCURED IN LAUGHTER

SMILES - ACQUAINTING THE OPPOSITION - LURED ALL
TOWARD IMMINENT DESTRUCTION - AND DEMONS
DOING MATING DANCES - WITH; THE MEANING OF LIFE
ALSO HIDING - BEHIND THE SHADOWS
OF GODS - TRANSFORMED HUMANNESS
OF MANKIND - TO BEAST

FOR TOTALITY - HAS COME NOW - WILLFUL
WITH THE FORCES - OF TEN THOUSAND MIGHTS
SAYING - WITH THE AMBIGUOUSNESS - OF THE AMBIGUITY
AND GLORY - UPON WHOSE HEADS - WITH ALL THE PROCEEDS
TO STOMP MIGHTILY

CHIMPS NOW - RECOGNIZED - FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS
TEMPERED - IN THE ARTS AND SCIENCES - NEWFOUND RESOURCES
ELOQUENT WITH MOTHER EARTH - REIGN WITH DIGNITY

AND SO FINALLY - COMING OF AGE - ARE THE BIRDS
FATTENED BY THE CONTRAST - INCREASED
THROUGH TAINTED MEAT RESERVES

Those Nations who could not continue
The vastly required
Minuscule thoughts
Of their minds,
Were of the Atlantis.
Such contrast between
The thoughts and the unthinkable,
Hosted them
For many a Century,
Until finally encompassed
Were the enormous
Intellectual fortitudes,
Succumbed unto many phases
Of Humanitarian moral decadence.

Alignment of priorities,
Aimed to suit
The supernatural,
Dwelled
In the Kingdom
Of Ancient Egypt,
Millenniums in the thousands
Before the advent
Of the Europeans,
Was the council of the Pharaohs
With God
As One, in Spirit, Mind
And Soul.

(Man of Honor)

Ironically
The most
Difficult task
Of
The entire human
Experience
Could be
Behaving
Rationally

Then
One wonders
What is rational

If the distance
Between
Each atom
Within
A grain of salt
Is relevant
To that
Which exists
Between
The earth
And the sun
Then
