A Golden Man’s Cuisine

From time to time, the muse taps my shoulder, and let’s me know that it is time to write a little poem. Sometimes it is a holiday poem, about nature, or even a satire, and sometimes it is about the Golden Man, a character I created a few years ago. Think of him as a social character.

A Golden Man’s Cuisine

The Golden Man forgot his quest,

in pomp and circumstance now, he bathes.

Who are those people under my feet?

Must be the ants, and they don’t eat.

Bring me some wontons, bring me kababs; the ants can starve.

But first, cachapas I must have,

and later, much later, I’ll think of cheese.

Oval Circus, a poem.

The false king,

in the oval circus vested

the wisdom from his jester

of his buffoon, discernment.

*

Countless clowns,

upside down crosses

the false king

amok runs his horses.

*

Puppets and pawns ignore disbelief

the circus on fire

the tarp breaks apart

the herald, breathes fire.

*

Paupers and peasants

observe with regret

the noise becomes louder

a voice screams, you’re jested!

In God’s Image – A poetic Rant

When you call out inclusion, I am insulted; I believe I am a part already.

When you want to lower standards for me, I am underrated; I have high standards.

How can there be equality when I am being set apart as being different or less than by the same policies that claim equity?

Your policies are intended to keep me down, but I have never seen myself as a victim.

I am made in the image of God, and in God I trust.
