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!"

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 in

 

Continued next page

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.

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.

Rex F. Raven

 

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!                    

Rex F.Raven

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.

Continued on next page

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.
