Nuclear Explosion At Fukushima Nuclear Reactor No.3
by March 28 2011 plutonium
had been detected in soil at
five locations at Fukushima Power Plant
operators at Fukushima nuclear complex
believed plutonium had been discharged
from exposed disintegrating fuel rods
damaged post March 11 no explosions
post devastating earthquake tsunami
plutonium citizens is a silvery-grey metal
that becomes yellowish when exposed
to air solid under normal conditions
chemically reactive radio reactive
but not desired in your reception area
therefore imagine concern when
“yellow rain” seen in Kanto region
surrounding Tokyo supposedly caused
by pollen not radioactive materials

God Gave Me No Rest Repeatedly
God charged me
with catalytic energy
which permeates
every pore of my being
God poked me
repeatedly with
first line symptoms
again and again
God tormented me
repeatedly impeded my rest
driving line into mind
relentlessly remorselessly
God persistently plagued me
tormenting thought emotions
denying sleep release constantly
until I got up and commenced his will

Decision Of Write
The moment I picked up pen
was the accumulation
signaling manifold contributing factors.
A step taken inevitably
against reasoned desire.
When exhausted body
battered mind desperately
desired attainment, to enter,
hallowed sanctified portals.
Promising blessed sweet sleep.
Obsessed.
Plagued days
treacherous nights
on unmitigated end.
Motivating
to this tethered point
issuing bodily command.
Formally issued

State Of 20th Century Man
He walks alone, come life, come death.
Who really sees him, who really cares?
Here stands a young man, see his clothes,
just tattered rags, long greasy hair,
jeans and T-shirt people stare.
A disdaining glance, then look away,
another juvenile delinquent,
the arrogant seem to say.
With scorn-filled eyes they silently stare,
as if a cockroach dared crawl,
beneath their chair.
They have already given
to a charity appeal this year.
Unspoken questions hang in the air.
His head is bent before the cold,
all spirit’s left him, his eyes are old.
Celebrations abound, a warm Christmas day,
but for the poverty-striken poor, another hungry day.

Meaning Embedded In The Bible?
Some Biblical symbolism and prophecy
are easy to interpret some are very deep
in some I am on milk in others I eat meat
Proverbs and Psalms are written
with great love in simple beauty
meaning is usually easy to discern
Gospels of Matthew Mark Luke John
make a reader knowledgeable of Jesus
a miraculous journey discovery to learn
Acts continues Luke's address beginning
with another prologue to excellent Theophilus
statements of fact given full credence among us
eyewitnesses and attendants of the message
delivered to us resolved traced are all things
from start of Christ’s teachings with accuracy

The Fall Of The Temple In 70 A.D.!
back across centuries
century after century
to the fall of Jerusalem
in 70AD Josephus says
claims that 1,100,000
Jews died most slain
were peaceful citizens
weak starving unarmed
butchered where caught
heaps of Jewish corpses
mounted higher higher
about God’s own altar
blood in streams flowed
down the Temple's steps
Roman supreme command
passion cruelly unleashed
detestation of Jews rage

Wealth And Racism
Yes tell me it is not called the third world!
It is called the developing world? Developing?
Yes tell me it is not rich people exploiting the poor!
It is the system and multinational corporations?
People would never do such things deliberately!
News flash, some people not only would, they are?
To poor people struggling inside a third world.
Rich people can symbolize oppression slavery.
Rich people at best may be just rich boss pricks.
It does not amatta, what acolour, a skin is...
when it isa youa, who isa starving, toa slowa death!
When it isa youa, whoisa nota gota, fullie stomach!
It does not matter what colour a skin is...
When the people exploiting you are all the same.

A Series Of Thoughts Loosely Styled On The Platonic Writings
In the past there were a few
who lived in places,
surrounded by riches,
and many of these royals
thought themselves free.
Yet their every act
was judged by a thousand
cruel, pitiless eyes.
The eyes of a jealous,
ignorant, stagnant society,
that had run its course.
Whose bonds held it fast
on every bordered side.
It was often impossible
or extremely difficult
to be different in
this archaic world.
There are countless

GM Battle Earth Began In Eden
In Eden choices
between good evil
were desire made.
What fruit would you eat?
What choices will you make?
What life path decision walk?
Your actions carry implications
decisions have consequences
nature has laws as do societies;
when spoken written codes
of honour are foolish broken
fickle souls become cast outs.
Will you reap benefits
of your labour solid planted?
Will you curse this earth
despoil ground giving life?
