I always wondered about the Planet of the Apes

I like the Orangutan the best

Civilized yet wild

Erotic ramifications

Bestiality?

 

Technically it would depend

On your over all philosophy

I'm talking evolution versus creation

Never mind intelligent design for now

However if one accepts the whole premise

It would exclude the rapture

I never read about intelligent primates

Dominating in the Bible

Perhaps that is in some book beyond Revelation

That didn't make the cut

 

Am I being sacrilegious?

Planet of the Apes offends no more then some sects

While in the Catholic Church the only Bible I read

Was the ten commandments

No false gods

&

No worshipping of idols

I am sure they were in the top three

So we go bow down to a statue of Mary

And light a candle

 

Now it gets strange

If you want to be perfect go sell all you have and give it to the poor!

Why nobody wants to be perfect!!

Hmm Imagine that!

What if one of those vastly intelligent gorillas

Had a vision of Fatima

And started his own cable T.V. show

Why we could incorporate a popular pass time as well

Bowling for prayers

Where if you get a strike your petitions will get through

Makes you wonder what happens in case of a turkey

I mean a giant intelligent turkey

Leading his people from the lands of America

Denouncing and defeating Thanksgiving

Which by the way is the celebration of genocide

It's getting all too real now isn't it?

Long After the Gold Rush

 Long After the Gold Rush

 

Miracles beyond conception coming true

Fulfilling more then we ever knew

Inca Queen in glory, smiling in dance

God gave us a second chance

We came in rags and tatters

It is the heart that matters

Given more then we could conceive

Beyond blessing to believe

The clown in a permanent smile

And we laughed for a while

We were headed for a new home

And we rejoiced in style

We were headed for a new home

Something we have never known

 

I was sitting on a pure golden throne

The sun is the moon in disguise

I was coping hoping for demotion

When I understood reality is full of lies

There was an angel whispering in my ear

Heaven it was never so near

And my dream so crystal clear

I was thinking about what a friend had said

He was not a friend at all

I was thinking about what a friend had said

So many issues I could not recall

 

I thought on the days of our landing

How joy exalted our spirit so high

We thought we had understanding

And a love and wisdom none could deny

Life itself kissed us in romance

God gave us a second chance

We came in rags and tatters

It is the heart that matters

Given more then we could conceive

Beyond blessings to believe

And we cried for a while

Living in our brand new home

It was then we became aware

We couldn’t do it here if we didn’t do it there

Such sorrow had never been known

The tears washed the makeup off the clown’s face

We looked and it was not the look of grace

When can we really go home?

Ethan’s Song

Ethan’s Song

 

I wish you the blue of heaven the glory of the sun’s fire                   

May your road always be even when you meet your desire              

Riches may come your way but I pray your heart stays steadfast     

That the treasures you truly treasure are the things that last              

 

Ethan there are mysteries deep

Ethan there are nights void of sleep

Jesus loves you those are words to keep

Ethan there are mysteries deep

 

When the eagle first spreads its wings to fly the world opens wide

The finest things in life are the secrets they try to hide

Beyond the mountains are many places that you’ve never been

The gold always shines brightly but then again so does sin

 

Ethan there are mysteries deep

Ethan there are nights void of sleep

Jesus loves you those are words to keep

Ethan there are mysteries deep

 

The straight and narrow is the way that Jesus trod

The cruelty of the cross was an act of God

When you surrender everything you attain

And love I mean true love is never vain

 

Wine women and song these are the pleasures of life tempting sore

Take a sip from the golden chalice and you’ll be wanting more

Trouble will come the whole world dances to the devil’s drum

They promise heaven but at best they are comfortably numb

 

Ethan there are mysteries deep

Ethan there are nights void of sleep

Jesus loves you those are words to keep

Ethan there are mysteries deep

 

The Word of God always rings true but can a youth comprehend?

Every day you live takes you closer to the journey’s end

Poets dream of simple things that kings and queens could never attain

Don’t you know for flowers to grow they need sunshine and rain

 

Ethan there are mysteries deep

Ethan there are nights void of sleep

Jesus loves you those are words to keep

Ethan there are mysteries deep

The Inevitable Disappointment Of Pants

 The Inevitable Disappointment Of Pants

 

Drunk and lonely she was an angel of eleven            

I hadn’t made love since I don’t know when            

Prowling growling the lion was on the hunt              

I decided on a strategic attack from the front

 

Clumsy fingers frustrating my chance

The inevitable disappointment of pants

Our love is a victim of circumstance

The inevitable disappointment of pants

 

“Hey baby come here often” it was my opening line

“I believe in God now cause girl you’re divine”

She giggled and smiled slowly growing her grin

I screamed “Heaven’s doors are open I’m coming in”

 

Clumsy fingers frustrating my chance

The inevitable disappointment of pants

Our love is a victim of circumstance

The inevitable disappointment of pants

 

When the storms are raging and the wounds are fresh

See the vampires circling for some innocent flesh

I’m a pilgrim seeking the land of Shang Li Ra

I love mother and wish that I knew my Pa

 

I woke up alone I guess nothing’s ever new

All the cash in my wallet it was missing too

The Bible says as you reap so shall you sow

There are some secrets that you don’t want to know

 

Clumsy fingers frustrating my chance

The inevitable disappointment of pants

Our love is a victim of circumstance

The inevitable disappointment of pants

I Remember

 I Remember

 

They were yesterdays of pain hurt falling like rain             

Words or phrases would never serve to explain                  

Outcast for the dark crime of just being me                          

And until this day I am still fighting to be set free      

 

I remember how could I ever forget?

I remember the past haunts me yet

I remember my Lord on Calvary

I remember the cross I carry

 

In the company all of the dogs call me sir

In the family I caused a little stir

I desire to destroy Babylon the Whore

They’d shoot me dead but they’re all afraid of nuclear war

 

I remember how could I ever forget?

I remember the past haunts me yet

I remember my Lord on Calvary

I remember the cross I carry

 

I misquoted Steven Tyler on my resume

I put a question mark under current pay

I ain’t mean but they do kill on my behalf

It ain’t a joke brother so I hope I don’t hear you laugh

 

I remember how could I ever forget?

I remember the past haunts me yet

I remember my Lord on Calvary

I remember the cross I carry

 

The wisdom of the system is from Lucifer

I’ve got lyrics do you know a record producer?

Myron lost in dorm sixty-two of Graystone U

So tell me the sorrows you’ve been through

 

The mystique of a freak my God is on my side

I can’t run because there ain’t no place to hide

So I sit and reflect on years of disrespect

Every day we’re dealt a new set of cards from the deck

 

I remember how could I ever forget?

I remember the past haunts me yet

I remember my Lord on Calvary

I remember the cross I carry

Easy Street

 Easy Street

 

White picket fences and rose bushes galore

It’s the American dream who could want more?

But behind the disguise lurks a host of lies

Late at night they fight you can hear their cries

 

Ain’t nothing easy on Easy Street

Where luxury and getting ahead meet

Climbing the corporate ladder gotta compete

Ain’t nothing easy on Easy Street

 

Working late the stress is great coming home tired

Job’s insane the boss is vain you’re feeling wired

Bottle of wine looks so fine pills on the side

The truth is a monster no place to hide

 

Ain’t nothing easy on Easy Street

Where luxury and getting ahead meet

Climbing the corporate ladder gotta compete

Ain’t nothing easy on Easy Street

 

Keeping up with the Jones’ next door

And endless quest for more more more

Rig the economy and start a war

Searching for the perfect score

 

The pay is big but the expense bigger

Money high but you’re in debt so go figure

A corvette and S.U.V, on credit

Materialism rules you let it

 

Ain’t nothing easy on Easy Street

Where luxury and getting ahead meet

Climbing the corporate ladder gotta compete

Ain’t nothing easy on Easy Street

Minds Melting In Madness

I have a lot of projects that are of various degrees. Some are completely finished, just waiting for birth into the public realm. Some have significant work. Others are barely started. This project only consists of two poems. I had forgotten that I wrote it, but upon reading it, I do recall writing it. Hope you enjoy it. 

 Minds Melting In Madness

 

Minds melting in madness

See me,

See thee,

                   Genius

Theoretical datum

Splicing the atom

Profits to maximize

Counterfeit lies

A hungry baby cries

A lonely nation dies

 

Lakota, Nakota, Dakota

In God we trust

They would sue

But the courts aren’t just

 

Minds melting in madness

Shifting the paradigm

Minds melting in madness

Declare the crime

 

Hatred is sacred

When you wear the uniform

Conform, conform, conform

Cosmonauts wrestling with astronauts

Out there where there is no air

Out there where there is no prayer

The battle is well fought

Of course,

We now have a space force

 

And these words fade on yellow pages

Poets ignored

Poets deplored

Seeking through the ages

For love to be restored

 

Minds melting in madness

Nine to five

Ain’t enough to survive

Medication or food

Ain’t you got it good

Living in the land of the free

Salute the flag

Boast and brag

Never mind reality

 

They frolic hand in hand in dance

Logic under demand dictates circumstance

Gain the world such is the goal

Gain the world lose you very soul

Sex, money, power, control

They frolic united in intercourse

They say things are getting better

But they are worse

 

Minds melting in madness

Have a cry over princess Di

In Stockholm they have a cell

Welcome to this cozy hell

Bread and water

Prostitute your daughter

Masses for the slaughter

 

I saw a crippled man missing an arm

Mumbling spital on his beard

Children eyes open in alarm

In green fatigues crazy weird

 

I Am my brother’s keeper

The Garden

 The Garden

 

By John Kaniecki

 

I am, he is, she was, we will be

 

The brutal sun shines, and has shined, and will shine some more,

Jah twirling a diamond

diadem of creation

as if on top an oak staff spinning in hand

Sprinkling hues of light

Lavender, purple, rose, pink

A recreation of darkest carbon

 

Somber winds soar over the sea

Kissing his lover

Making waves of emotion

with white caps of ecstasy

sunlight penetrates

warmth birthing clouds

White laughter, darker shades of doom

Blown over vast expanses of perishing Mother Earth

 

Children, crying, yearning

Trees rustling leaves dancing poetically

Tall grass moaning, yellowish brown, swaying

Cows skeletal stomachs seeking sustenance

To fill hollow empty caverns

Creeks now depressed passages,

foul smelling mud

cracked or at best damp, a frowning face

Agonized depression in unified appeals

To heaven

Help us
Jah

 

Crackling thunder, boom, boom, barroom!!

Announcing what is to come

Scattering flocks fly, fluttering confused wings

Scurrying creatures search for shelter

Wilderness senses satisfying salvation

A solitary drop splattering

Suddenly a sensation of satisfaction

More and more the rain does poor

Lightning slashes slaying a tree

For the long prolonged climax

 

Hard, dry ground rejecting its deepest desire

Water denied gathers as

the onslaught unmercifully falls

Parched land produces puddles

Currents come into existence

The creek normally gentle and swaying

Transformed to a river rapidly roaring

Increasing intensity dissecting the banks caving in

Cutting and taking

branches, twigs, leaves, logs

All whisk down toward the sea

A rock rambles and rolls on the bottom

emancipated from its grave

 

Aftermath

A refreshed reality

The Storm of the Latter Rain, a Storm of Eternity

Civilization in cataclysmic ruin

Armageddon

In renewed compassion we weep

for the multitudes

dead

 

The digital age has died

Technology terminated

Nobody cried nor cared

We were lost

We will not be lost in worry

 

A single cricket sings as a hushed creation listens

 

Thirsty, Jah stoops to drink from the creek

Water refreshing crystal clear

Lapping slippery liquid satisfying his thirst

A sparkle catches his eye

Intrigued he dives into

A baptism, he shivers resisting bitter cold

Clutching out towards the stone

Reborn he gazes upon the diamond in wonder

A token for his Love

We have forever returned to the garden

This time with wisdom
