Though we endure Time passing fast, Ne'er to be sure The while it lasts, We accept its lure Without we so ask, Be less than assured With time fixed mask, Holds a dupery‘s game Cast be of nebulous task! The gift of unapprised choices... © Jean-Jacques Fournier Paintings - Régmer, de LaTour, deBoulogne, Rourbouts & Caravaggio... Header Picture - Shutterstock ...

I am curiously held aware,
Being conscious of converse
That it’s natural to beware,
In an age amorally perverse
Where humankind despairs,
Of conversations so adverse
Suggesting interest to be fair,
Yet holds intent to be averse…
Tho it be of and by myself
I fancied be a person free,
That which finds dominate
A better part of early me,
That ideates a perfect fate
To fill the emptiness I see,
In dreams imaging awake
Conversely so I want to flee…
A time knew of not be fast
Nor forcing to make haste,
Or find way to further last
In concert with moral taste,
Whose worth wouldst cast
The value of contented state,
While forgetting not the past
To help shape avert mistakes,
In conversations that will task
Beyond with me, myself and I!

“ Of God Creating Man ”
– be but myth, or a fact –
Held ‘twas day seven
Be man’s world born,
From laudable quest
Thus task was borne,
Yet transcends guess
Of god creating man,
Be but myth or a fact
Or tool in mans chest,
Versus god manmade
Now needed to wrest,
For his seamless rule
Said fulfil man’s goal,
As tergiversator tool
God of manner bold,
Crafted so as to fool
Diktat of world whole
The creation to claim,
That so fixed by man
Wouldst forever reign…
Now mans fated state,
Be as credulous mortal
Bent so will hold stake,
In his virtual existence
Derived from a dictate,
Saved for chosen few
Who’ll share the spoils
Gleaned by adept issue,
From godly like control
Thus as ever since when,
Probes birth of fairytale told
Had alleged a god created men!

I grieve for time
Passing unseen,
Tho anxiously
I try to redeem,
An absurd task
Held be a dream,
Behind the mask
That only seems,
Assuage ones fear
Now less than keen,
When down the line
Reality finds clear,
That life left behind
Actualizes many years,
Yet neglected tell my mind
There’ll be life past the tears,
For obtuse squandered assign
Has me grieving, now ill timed!
