Dreaming The Old Man

by Rayn Roberts, posted in Death, Dreams, Ghosts, Inspiration, Life, Love, MEN, Mental Health, Mind, Mystical, Nature, poetry, Poets & Writers, Rayn Roberts, Vets

Through slanting doors and broken windows
odd furniture in dim rooms

old books and roses rotting with age
I follow you,

charts and crumpled maps and paper
glitter like a lost hope–

Sudden sky and wide water
reeds along a shore

under a silver willow you call to the other side.

No limb or vine to hold my feet
my boyhood swept away

to a green recess of memory
nothing to pull me back

only rock and sand, sky and air bathed in amber light,

Peace, I am with you
looking in your old eyes, stretching out a hand

sinking in a river of night
transparent stones on the bottom of a lucid pool

I glide in bright shadows
fish swimming

in and out our one and separate selves

About The Dangers of Transgender People….

by Rayn Roberts, posted in Love, Mental Health, Peace, Rayn Roberts, Resist!, Transgender, Violence, Women, Youth

 

Why Transgender People are Dangerous

 

Nevermind the roller coaster ride
you’re on it now you can’t get off

It’s gravity’s got
a terrible side
got nothing to do
with God at all

God doesn’t really
give a toss

if you die next week from a stupid fall

God damn gravity
that evil threat

Gonna getcha right soon
gonna getcha  yet
Not too sure
why I stand at all
If I’m gonna get killed

by a natural law

“Hells bells, tarnation”, say I to my wife
“I’m takin’ to bed for the rest of my life!”

*****************************************************************************

I’m not white, not black, not brown or yellow
not rich or old, poor or dumb
but I do see things in a different way because

A Dangerous Threat? Who is?

Think Transgender People Themselves are in Danger? Well, yeah!

Nosegay

by Rayn Roberts, posted in Dark Humor, Dark Poem, Death, Flowers, Human Interactions, Life, Love, Mental Health, Pain, Truth, Wisdom

What Chopin wanted most
was to die
in George Sand arms,
on his deathbed
all he got
Was a nosegay of violets
She left at his door
When her daughter
turned her away–
People can be such shits.

Nosegay

He wrote a friend on his deathbed, “She promised me I would die in her arms.”

How did Chopin die?

And yes, I’m aware that the event may be based on legend, but many believe it is true and by it’s very intensity, a legend becomes a painful little poem with a nasty but truthful conclusion.  It is justified by that truth.   “Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.”   ~George Sand

A Truth You May Have Forgotten

There is a moment before the sound the Great Om,
Before Siva turned on one foot
Before Krishna was blue and Tara green,
Before the making of Lucifer, the heavenly war
The gravity of heaven and the drifting fire of hell
Before the holy breath blew into Man
Before Adam’s dream of Eve
Before Cain lost his mind and the daughters of Cain
And the flood, before an angel spoke to Hagar
And Moses saw a home of honey, fire and blood

Before David hurled a stone
Before Isaiah spoke a word
Before Buddha under the Bodhi-tree

The slaughter of the innocent
The cry of the desert in a voice crying in the desert
Before the sorrow of Mary
Before a nail cut the hand of the Anointed
Before the wonder of Magdalene at the tomb
Before tongues of fire
Before the first stone struck Stephen
Before stigmata in Assisi
Before Allah save infant girls
In a message of mercy from Mohammed
Before Gandhi felt the heat of a gun
And the death of Martin gave an undying dream

There is a moment
Without motion
Before the memory of time

Offered like sunlight filtered through trees falls at your feet
It is like sound
Or light surrounding the body
A lilting melody of light
Before evil or good were ideas, that when you hear
Clears the past of pain
Reconciles history to love
And the One you felt did not exist
Is with you saying
“I have always loved you and always will.”
It is the still point at the center,
That moment you truly are, that moment is now

The Wave & The Wind

by Rayn Roberts, posted in Death, Grief, Japan, Kaze no Denwa, Love, Mental Health, Mystical, Ocean, Rayn Roberts, The Sea, The Wind Phone, Words

Rikuzentakata Ôfunato Kuji swept away

No trace they were ever there
Otsuchi Miyako Yamada
Sôma Namie Minamisôma Onagawa
Kesennuma Natori Ishinomaki gone,
The earth gave and the sea
Has taken away Banda Ache
Two hundred thirty thousand
Gone in the Indian Ocean wave.

I am thinking of Phuket on Boxing Day

The waters receding so fast
Fish were left flapping on the sand,
The boy drawn by hunger
Or a child’s fascination
Not knowing the danger
Walking out to catch a few–
Then the immense water-wall moving
He turns, runs–  is gone.

Some say the Lord taketh

But where were healing Jesus
Allah the Merciful
When countless cries went up,
Where were the thousand hands
Of listening Kannon,
in paradise where she was
Blissful in her Pure Land as if
Tsunami’s never happen?
Do the dead hear the whispered calls

On the kaze-no-denwa wind phone?

Act!

Never Underestimate the Power of Stupid People in Large Groups

Misogynistic, Xenophobic, Homophobic, Insecure, Greedy, Arrogant, Manipulative: These are all symptoms of hateful inner turmoil and mental illness.  Anyone in their right mind & heart would avoid them at all cost, but what White Nationalists, Neo Nazis and the KKK have done is lose heart-minds.

Notions ignored, but rising like ghosts in our homes have little to do with reality.  They are phantoms that would stop most who mentally entertain them and make them do a reality check, but the Alt-Right is delusional.  They are mentally ill.  I believe hatred is a mental illness when it’s irrational i.e. based on ignorance and fear with little or no evidence to back up the belief or idea.  That wouldn’t be so bad, but they act on those delusions as if they were real.  That’s why they are mentally ill.

And that’s where the shit starts in their ugly violent hate-driven heads. This is why they are dangerous and must be stopped.   Antifa has good reason to try.

Antifa can oppose them however they want, but there are many ways to shut them the Alt-Right down: speaking the truth, demonstrating, protesting, writing letters, taking part in what’s left of our democracy, if ever we had one.

I think not, but  I go along with the idea because it’s basically all we’ve got.  Whoever you are, the important thing is get involved, to act on your conscience for the good of your family, friends and the nation.  If people don’t act, fascism will grow stronger.  It is growing.  It is a cancer in the body politic today.  It was always there lying untreated.

Good people need to come out in overwhelming numbers to oppose white Nationalists, the KKK, the Nazi Alt-Right wherever they pop their nasty heads up. The majority of Americans do not support them.

They must know some of us will get in their faces, some will fight them in the street. How you act or what You do is up to you;  but doing nothing now is not an option. Look Back at German and Italian history. It happened there; it CAN happen HERE.

Remember, the world fought a war against fascism and won.

Highsight is always 20/20.

Democracy!                                            Use it or see it destroyed.
