Ray Lucero Poems

When thinking comes faster than feeling
True self gets lost in chaos n’ confusion
It’s with a relentless ego you’re dealing
Making it impossible to gain absolution
...

An Alchemist and Prophet
Sister of the Prophet Moses
Merged practical, mystical,
Through dreams, visions
...

Alchemy performed in the lower realm self and Earth:

CALCINATION; Burning away of the ego
...

Middle class are now social dregs
Using food stamps instead of cash
Give up steak for spam & eggs
Soon may forage dumpster trash
...

Strapped Seniors use credit cards ‘stead of cash
To stay afloat, after losing their stocks n’ bonds
Yet more victims of another Wall Street crash
“Let them eat cake” is what the Fed responds
...

Awaken!

”Shake the dreams from your hair”
See the surreality you create around you
...

Distant stars align when we are born
Witnesses include Angels' n’ Avatars
Whether Virgo, Libra or Capricorn
We’re Sons n’ Daughters of the stars
...

‘Twas a reincarnated Akhenaten
Student of “The Emerald Tablet”
Branded a heretic, then forgotten
After sipping from Thoth’s goblet
...

The old man shuffled along the sidewalk on worn-out shoes.
Shoes once so shiny, that you could see your face in them.
Long ago the original owner had tossed them in a dumpster,
where the old man found them.
...

An evil “Oligarchy” bent on global destruction
Kill “Worthless Eaters”, whose souls’ they reap
Stated goal, “Plunder and population reduction”
Until “Mission accomplished” they won’t sleep
...
