A Dawning

– or a mind freed –

Fixed in lovers game
Be a tormented song,
An inadequate name
For love gone wrong, 
Ye shall find in vain
Efforts to strive on, 
Despite cogent bane
Would before long, 
Feel a soul defamed
Tho not fully gone, 
The while it pleads
Compose may hold,
Its anguished heed
At a pathetic rate,
Will in a mind freed
Save if too far to wait,
For life’s survival need
Found in a dawning state!

Ah The Earth

– such an affair –

Listen to audio

– such an affair –

If the earth
Was square,
Such an affair
To decorate,
Without ease
In the hands,
Of imbeciles
Gone astray,
Ye feel it still
Ever painful,
To tolerate
As visible,
From unclear
To impossible,
For its thought
Holds difficult,
Thus, to fixate
On the earth,
Being square
Has us disabled,
To turn in circles
As so far able,
For we the curious
Wishing to go round,
Or need to be found
For said of Cicéron, 
It can’t be square
As set by Poincaré!

L’Invention de L’Enfer

– un conte de grand-mère –

L’hypothèse de l’enfer
Alliant un sinistre feu,
Ce conte de grand-mère
Une fable malheureuse,
Pour une vieille histoire
De prédiction audacieuse,
Une légende médiévale
La voix de faux dieux,
Une diablerie déjouée 
Cet effort capricieux,
Tout contraire des fées 
Ce concept pouilleux,
Un récit des ancêtres 
Menace de calvaire,
Des diseurs fainéants
Insiste la grand-mère,
Terrorisent les enfants
Un proche de Lucifer,
Qui pourrait être femme 
Car Belzébuth peut faire, 
Surtout pas l’éveiller 
Lorsque pour faire croire,
L’invention de l’enfer 
Est un conte de grand-mère!

The Invention of Hell

– a grandmothers tale –

Hypothesizes of hell
Having sinister fire,
Be grandmothers tell
As an invention dire,
For audacious predict 
Of old story inspired,
In a medieval legend
Once ancestrally told,
As voiced by old gods
Uttered adversely bold,
With less flighty effort
Than its anarchic hold,
For its dubious concept
Of baleful calvarian bile, 
Since grandmother recite
Meant to terrorize child,
As should story of Lucifer
Who may yet be a woman,
Said fits, Beelzebub's fare
Thus, this be a hell’s game,
To find fact with false gods,
While ye fixed make believe
We suffer the invention of hell,
Being yet a grandmothers recite!
