On Age
Sadorian

Age, I say
is a physical reference
because
The spirit is timeless
and
The mind is infinite

Age is relative to change
because
your ability to change declines
as you become OLDER
with total inability to change being
Death

So the irony of life is to maintain
the ability to change throughout
aging
because you cannot stop getting older
BUT
you don't have to be old

because after all,
some things do get better
with age

Wouldn't you agree?

Today, Tomorrow & Yesterday
Storm

We all have something in common
the sun rose
the sun set
the moon shone
the trees wept

If times change, then time will tell
when in time, consciousness fell

before the light or after the dark
before the planets were set apart
before the wind or after the drought
before the beings came about

If times have changed, then I can't tell
as time ticks third eye sees well
and beings being the way they've been
ignorance soon will bring their end.

Another Letter to my Friend Andrea
Sean Kerns

December 29, 1989


Dear Andrea,

I decided to type you a letter with my new toy. I wanted to tell you that I think your mother, Janet, is a space creature. One day when you were in school, these space creatures came to Earth, planning world domination. However, they crashed up arrival. They were dying but got the idea that they could live longer in the body of a human. Janet just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was in your room, nosing around, when the space creatures flew by your window. They saw her and said, "Look Bjotia, there is what we've been looking for; a mean Tippy Turtle look-alike. She has a family because she's looking through her daughter's things. In her body, we can take over the planet or at least harass some humans. Wahheeheehahaha!"


So the leader got in your mother's body and Bjotia was SOL(shit outta luck) and got the cat's body. Unfortunately, Bjotia (in the cat's body) got hit by a car. Well, the leader is by itself now. And because its best friend in the entire universe got hit by a human in a big white car, it is taking its anger out on any human close by. That happens to be you.


One other thing, the reason the fake Janet does not take its anger out on your dad is because it has found your dad is a peace loving man. Also he will attack if provoked. So now you know the whole story. You know what they say, "Fore warned is fore armed." The last thing I have to tell you before I start another letter is the reason I know all of this. I have ESP and it all came to me one night in a dream. I had just finished eating Chinese food, and I was thinking about your family, especially your little brother. By accident I stuck my finger in an electric outlet (I was supposed to be plugging up my curling iron). I passed out and that's when I had that dream about your mother. I just wanted to tell you the truth. Be careful, PLEASE, PLEASE watch your mouth and keep your temper down. If you need me, just call or write. I promise to be in touch with you soon. And call me when you get the chance (or when ________ leaves). I hope this letter made you laugh. And don't let your mom read this because she might disintegrate my house or simply get on the phone and cuss me out.

Your bud,

Sean

P.S. WAHEHEHAHAHA! Wahehehahaha! WAHEHEHAHAHA! Wahehehehaha!

Negating
Storm

is being negative
as a niger, relatively is
to indulge in this
superlative -
is never going to be
productive
it will only be
subjective
to the level
of knowledge there is
existing -
within our ears.

The Price of a DREAM
Banbu

I dreamed of love
And was given pain;
When all was over,
What had I gained?

I asked for Peace
And was given sorrow;
I was happy for today,
Because, there was no tomorrow

It is a sad thing to realize
Nothing is as it seems;
You hurt for your happiness
Thats the price of a Dream

The Machaira
Shaina Montgomery

To all humanity, I give an open invitation to the Machaira.
Harder than a diamond, the two edged sword penetrates the mind of redeemed victims.
It speaks the will of the Most Ancient.
It bestows his abundant blessings.
Come and experience the warfare of the spiritual soldiers in heavenly heights.
These Specters clash to defend an ageless kingdom.
On one side are repulsive, bat-winged beasts with sharp horns and
a gargoyle's stature.
On the other are beautiful warriors endowed with glistening wings.

We too wage in the battle.
(We mortals dwell by the Machaira's blade)
Rhema!
We combat with a proclamation!
Demonic platoons are undermined by explosions!
Logos!
We fight with meditation!
And Nephilic spirits topple into the sweltering abyss.

We wrestle with principalities set to destroy.
The Machaira overrides the Accuser's ploy.
Concealed, and blind are our eyes to that ethereal world.
But we conquer the unsung with penetrating power of the Sword.

A weapon that will never perish.

Poetry is You and Me
Lamonte Nichols

What sweet words have I to say about this great
form of self expression called

P
O
E
T
R
Y

You can write and write and write until your
words touch the sky

You're allowed to laugh
You're allowed to cry

You can even curse
But, do it in the last verse

Poetry is poetry

It can't be
It just is

We can link our thoughts together
to form a click

Take your pick

Get together in coffee house huddles
And step in verbal puddles

Armed with pens, pads and our minds

To create heart touching
Life changing
Reality inspired rhymes

 

we perfect Erotic stories
And construct social prose

I'm so poetic
That I got poems running out of my nose

Don't doze or sleep on poetry
It's too slick to be defined
Too nice to be kind

And too solid to be changed
Or too mixed up to be rearranged

It can't be it just is
Poetry ain't nobody's biz

It's more like Inspirational
Explorational
Invitational
Motivational

Writing

Poetry is so exciting

Just a brain and pen
Is all it takes for the fun to begin

Once again,
Listen to me

It's so good
Because poetry is you and me
