POETRY OF POLITICS
By
REX F. RAVEN
This book deals with religious and social annotations, opinions,
and commentary. They are presented in enlightened verse and essay form. The
author is a master of ethnic colloquialisms and regional dialects, which he uses
to drive home his message in a forceful, and often humorous way. Serious subject matter is hardly ever
expressed in such a lighthearted manner. This book is both thought provoking
and amusing. "Real
craftsmanship!"

PLOT: THE LAW BEGAN AS THE CREATOR OF MAN AND HIS HELP-MATE WOMAN, HANDING
THEM THE ARK FOR THEIR SALVATION HAD BEEN PUT INTO JEOPARDY FOR THEIR
DISOBEDIENCE TO THE WILL OF THEIR HEAVENLY FATHER. HE SAID, "HAVE FORGIVENESS AS YOU PROPAGATE THE WORLD WITH HUMAN BEINGS WHO WILL BE BORN WITH ORIGINAL SIN AND THEIR
FUTURE CAN BE SAVED IF YOU LOVE ALL FOR MY SAKE." A trial still ongoing IN
THE WORLD. THE FATHER MEANS FOR YOU TO TAKE CARE OF THE NEEDY, IRRATIONAL OR
RATIONAL. AMEN.
ABRIDGED
The Law can easily dispossess
a Being from himself;
fruitful he hopes to be,
but the Law denies him
his
dreams -
hmm, it were a sort of Good car
small
cost but all mine -
This place a poor Man’s town
and the Law busy handin’ puttin’
warrants until they shatter’d
your windshield - who

the city here, can come home
with a livin’! The Law they got
expertise in writin’s is the Laws
Vocation-so beware, don’t
leave your auto free-the Law
has the Legality to inflate
an
ordinance
called imposition.
Rex F. Raven
THE PLOT IS EVIDENT. READ ON.
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
Within the hour life goes on,
or life can stop in
a temporary manner.
One cannot decide in this world
for certain, where the stopping
ends--whatever is appropriate--
shock or confidence: availabilities
for Healthcare or Harassment "are"
generously available.
What is intimidating, apparently,
errors in Baseball, Havoc of
inclement weather or a new
millennium with its fright of
Extraterrestrials.
We can be competitive, legal
or illegally contemplative; we
can relent hoping in faith
to confess
and
dream, dream, dream
of an accurate forecast.
Rex F. Raven
ABSTRACT
Out of skin and flayed
strips
of Blood
filling the broken
silhouette
the chalice smashed
to smithereens and
dancing
devils on
seven wounds proclaiming
no one is meant to keep
you
dead - alas dissolved
flesh back to dust and the
last of human Semen dripping
becoming
Mud-all at once
as in the beginning you've
returned to Clay and your Glory
is the memorial to a Monument - Hail
Sinner, prais’d be the New Life
in an Eternal Presence,
The Supernatural Fire. c200l

PLOT: MARRIAGE FOR
THE SENSE OF DUTY IT SEEMS IS NO LONGER VIABLE. TODAY IS FOR SINGLE MOTHERS AND
FATHERS WHICH IS SANCTIONED BY MOST OF THE RELIGIOUS ENTITIES. BUT SO BE IT,
THE CHILDREN NEEDTO BE SAVED EVEN IF THE PARENTS GO ELSEWHERE AND THEN IT IS
PRESUPPOSED THAT G-D WAS THE MINISTER WHO MARRIED ADAM AND EVE, BUT AFTER THE
FALL’ WHO MARRIED THE PROGENY OF OUR FIRST PARENTS?!
AFFINITY
My mother’s house, what will it become?
Remembering when the porch was loaded,
banging down the stomping feet
of us
chill'un my mother’s house will become
exclusive maybe adapting to the new genre
of living life expediently
today not
knowing who actually is related to whom with
marriage waning down its gilded
place; oh that’s my mother’s house, but her grandchildren live there now, but
it varies some are those whose
Mothers’ were the same, but Daddy’s multiplied and had one or two
girlfriends on the side: how did my mother handle to compensate the one with
blonde prigs of hair, and the other two, with kinky black pomades, the lit'lest
mulatto pink sharing life in my mother’s house gave love incomparable, and
between each tryst of a beleaguered
son always never satisfied, left her house
in the perpetual
state of escrow.

PLOT: AFFIRMATIVE
ACTION IS GOOD FOR THE INTELL ECTUAL IN A MINORITY RACE WHO CAN PASS THE
ENTRANCE EXAMS FOR STUDYING IN UNIVERSITY AND THUS THIS CAN BECQME A GOOD ALSO
FOR THE COMMUNITY WHEN ITS MEMBERS SUCCEED! WHICH ALSO HELPS THE POVERTY QUOTA
TO DECREASE.
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
I’m trying to change the physical character
my being exudes the dude in me needs expression and only friends can
help me to assume a style
that’s different than the one I’ve been trying
to rid myself of
character
character
character
ethnic ethnic majority in becoming, Lord almighty,
a minority in my soul, darker than usual and all
I need is to achieve the right semen, one drop even
for the changeover to be really a whitefish turning
into the desires that makes out, like a free,
enterprising,
Black pussycat.

PLOT: THIS STUDY
RELATES TO THE LACK OF WISDOM OF OEDIPUS REX WHOM EVERY STUDENT OF THE ARTS
PROBABLY HAS ENCOUNTERED FOR A PASSING GRADE OR OTHER REASONS. BUT WE CAN NEVER
GIVE UP HOPE THAT THE WILL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND OURS’TURNS OUT JUST.
A MIRACLE, A MIRACLE!
EYES LOST AND FOUND
All the whoring
Dionysus allows,
running amuck, a god
strapped in the
Theatre Arts, a poet
an actor stripping
for bed, enter Oedipus
hungrily eating his
popped veins sucked
into slutting of the
Woman, nostalgic for
a carousel of lust
and brings back the
Chilhood which
once was Oedipus
now dread, of a Father King
a son who bleeds in pimpery.
And Simpcox spake...
and bought his climbing
very dear!

PLOT:
COMPUTERIZATION HAS ALL MEANS TO BRING AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE RIM OF HEAVEN WHERE THE SAINTS AWAIT TO GREET
THE SOULS OF EVERYONE! EVERYTHING THAT PASSES AND WE ARE ASTOUNDED AT THE
FREEDOM AND EQUALITY FOR EVERYONE TO ENJOY, TO PARTICIPATE IN EQUALLY. NOTHING
BUT JOY AND PEACE AND THE ETERNAL BANQUET THAT ENERGIZES HEAVENLY LOVE.
AND THE ANGELS SING
Sweet wind when the
Stalk is planted and
computers smash its seed
then what will the change
become? An efferescent
beginning life to Love as deep
below awaits destiny’s goal - to awaken
in Paradise and sunflowers, alive,
stretching up to mountain tops, aloft,
in the sacredness growing without effort feeding God’s world, to Man:
to enjoy the finished
product of an ever-blooming Eternity. The Stalk
fulfilling its talent and Blues evermore.
Rex F. Raven
PLOT: IT IS PROBABLY
OR WOULD BE UNUSUAL FOR THE AFTER-PUBERTY SET TO THINK OR BELIEVE THAT SEX OF
ANYKIND CAN BE DISTASTEFUL OR EVEN UNWANTED BUT THE RULES OF THOU AND THOU
SHALT NOT, SOMETIMES A MYSTERY BUT OF COURSE THE LAW OF FAITH AND RIGHT REASON
PERHAPS ALSO CALLED COMMANMENTS ARE OF A HIGHER AND SUPREME JUSTICE THAT HAS
AND CAN PERFORM MIRACLES. BUT WHAT IS CALLED SIN AND TRESPASS, IS PUNISHABLE BY
CIVIL-HUMAN LAW’ AND THE DIVINE-HOLY LAW WHICH IS A WORD CAN BE SEVERE. BUT
AFTER ADAM AND EVE’S BANQUET’ CHOICE OR FREE WILL BECAME ONE COULD SAY, THE
ORIGINAL SIN. BUT GRACIOUSLY GOD GAVE THE MEANS TO ACCEPT MORE OR DENY EVIL. SO
FORTUNATELY WE CAN RESIST THINGS THAT DO HARM TO MANKIND, ANIMALS AND OTHERS.
AND WE HAVE THE POWER TO TRY.
APHANITE
A prostitute dismissed, "Go thee and sin
no more."
Miraculous voice but what of her cell-mate?
Is he to sin whenever
its pleasure is evident-
resident inside, his glandular
output?
Was it the heavenly Father who constructed Adam with the gene for sex,
dormant, and activated
lust after he had bitten the precious fruit,
the insolvency! Why? Because he had lost Paradise, and punishment the real
occupation of mankind.

Eve and the serpent partner’d, illcit sex
beginning, and Dear God, Creator of Heaven and Earth stood fast thinking,
"It won’t last; for death is irrefutable: yet the spirit can live, for in
an inducible
way I will prepare the image of My Soul; the
Messenger and salvation shall exist, implicitly: Jesus crowned King of
Eternity...will change the mores of this world into the morality of justice and
though He die, He will live forever and each
human being granted freely, a piece of Holy
Stigmata regenerated into
the Love of God." c200l

PLOT: THE CELEBRATED
PERSON IS THE ONE MAN OR WOMAN HOPES OR WOULD LIKE TO EMULATE Therefore then
such a Personality MUST TRAVEL THE STRAIGHT LINE IN ORDER THAT A BAD MORES IN
THE COMMUNITY WILL CHANGE FOR THE GOOD OF ALL OTHERS’ CELEBRITIES OR NOT.
ASSASSIN
Insane to bring humanity
to its lowest plane
this kind of Flim Flamming
from the person of
Celebration - of
great awards lower
himself to openly go out
onto
the world stage
and pick-up a woman of
ill repute---
what now is his
Reputation
the Golden Prize Winner
a vile abuse before
the Church - the Holy Sacrament
alive - now dying of this
sensual abuse before
His very Eyes in Broad
Daylite
the very sin of Incest
when this theatrical deity
it was his long forgotten daughter
lost in the Cup of Blood
and the Savior died
Crucified.
