Rain, Isolation, Self-Analysis
'The world is myself; life is myself'. - Wallace Stevens
1.
The gray has delivered a calm emptiness,
over subdued thinkers and lonely movers,
who look through windows and the windowless.
It is like old men relinquishing ornery youth,
relinquishing the spirit of the hipster years,
and within this approaching, full downpour,
Ye Idyll Of Ye Hippopopotamus
With a Methodist hymn in his musical throat,
The Sun was emitting his ultimate note;
His quivering larynx enwrinkled the sea
Like an Ichthyosaurian blowing his tea;
When sweetly and pensively rattled and rang
This plaint which an Hippopopotamus sang:
'O, Camomile, Calabash, Cartilage-pie,
Spread for my spirit a peppermint fry;
Crown me with doughnuts, and drape me with cheese,
....Sonnet Xiii....

Fiscal Conservatism
Blatantly destroying
Social consciousness
While piously drawing
Parallels of righteousness
To its Christian views..
As the mantra of Christ
..Is hypocritically abused

Life.
Life starts with meeting
and fusion of sperm and ovum
forming a single celled zygote
in mother's womb.
Lands on earth,
a multicellular individual
like a fresh bloom.
Then life continues
sans your choice,
sometimes flowers,
Bah
I am a coffin,
I am the dark knots of wood
That cover the rotting corpse,
And horrors of death.
I am mascara,
I am the black strands of poisen
That coat and hide tearful eyes,
But no more than needs to be.
I am a curtain,
I am a sheet of cotton
Conservatism
Conservatism is the process
That admits not anything first.
Religions are kept alive
Solely on conservatism.

Cynical
Sarcastic?
I am not!
I am cynical.
With touches of skepticism,
Sautéed with the best of dysfunctions...
And blessed to have a blend of conservatism,
Spiced to delight my sometimes liberal...
Yet most times nonconformist tastes!
Now take your judgemental ass somewhere else!
A Bihari Fool Asking His Daughter
A Bihari fool,
Dressed in clumsy white dhoti and kurta,
With a tikki,
A clamp of hair
Hanging from the crown of the head,
A blunt fool indeed,
Never a classical Sanskrit scholar
Questioning and inquiring his innocent daughter,
'Why did you,
Did you smile on seeing a boy? '
Mulk Raj Anand (A Long Poem)
Mulk Raj Anand,
Say you, how to research you,
A novelist Indian
Whose novels read not the Indians,
But the foreigners
As for interpreting caste, class and society,
The ismic India of the ismic people?
While travelling in the trains and buses,
People asked about the caste and class

Ancient Doweer, Modern Heritage
What Wordsworth terms “our ancient Dower, ”
describing heritage of Britain,
has faded like the fresher flower
of the USA. Unwritten
the rules that governed both these places
when people, poor no less than rich,
felt unity to be the basis
of an inherent heritage
which Britons claimed as ancient, and
Americans claimed as brand new
He Do Polite In Different Voices
HE DO POLITE IN DIFFERENT VOICES
He do polite in different voices,
as well as those most impolite,
but whether Eliot's or Joyce's,
he's hesitant to start a fight,
believing he can reconcile
opposites which, diametric,
he brings together with a smile
Hypocrites...All….Singing Yesterday's Song
Politics the game…of smoke and mirrors
…..Reverend Wright…..Obama's wrong
Scalise..the pride…of Dukedom's hour
Hypocrites caught-up in yesterday's song
'Conservatism'…simply..a theoretical farce
….'Fiscal'……but…the devious thought
'Unlimited spending on pet projects'...
Is what 'Fiscal Conservatism'..is all about
Parenthesis, Empty And Filled
When empty, a parenthesis
provides mysterious emphasis;
when filled, you wonder whether
the contents weigh more than a feather.
George Will reviews Rick Perlstein’s “Nixonland” in the NYT Book Review, May 11,2008. The editor introduces the review with this:
No conservative writer was tougher on Richard Nixon than George F. Will, the longtime columnist for The Washington Post and Newsweek — particularly on the subject of “the 784-day Watergate debacle, ” as he once termed it. “The Nixon White House ran amok as no other has done, and its abuses were uniquely lurid and sinister, ” Will wrote on Aug.8,1974, the day Nixon announced he would resign from the presidency. Will, who returns to the subject this week in his cover review of Rick Perlstein’s “Nixonland, ” thinks the Nixon presidency now looks “even worse than it seemed at the time, ” he said in an e-mail message. “Regarding domestic policy, which Nixon dismissed as ‘building outhouses in Peoria, ’ his disdain for the subject did not, alas, produce benign neglect.” In foreign policy, Nixon’s “‘realism’ was unrealistic — too pessimistic about America’s stamina for protracted containment, too optimistic about the Soviet Union’s adaptability to modern economic exigencies. His policy toward China lives on: we are wagering that prosperity will subvert tyranny.” How, then, does Nixon fit into the larger story of modern conservatism? “He doesn’t. His tenure was an empty parenthesis.”

Whatever good it is
In American culture,
Its thought and tradition.
Baltimore 4/27/15
Baltimore, to me represents the system itself boiling over with rage. This rioting is more than young teenagers having a moment under the camera to play, it is a systemic problem of wealth distribution with people frustrated and in despair. The police oppression of blacks and minorities may have triggered it but the causes go deeper then that.
This isn’t happening at some gated community; it resembles the riots of 1968 etc. This is despair, resentment of feeling trapped. The feeling of no future producing violence. You can’t just ship jobs out and offer people jobs they can never get ahead on in drug infested and gang ridden communities with broken families. To me it is the failure of the American system itself, our educational system, our willingness to incarcerate rather then spend the money on the front end and try to place every child and citizen into a decent career and job situation. Our system has helped create this deplorable situation.
Start spending a lot more money on educating poor and average Americans rather then spending enormous amounts of money on jail and prisons. Raise the minimum wage. Free trade schools and college. Tax the rich like the 1950’s. Get down to the real reasons why these riots are happening and show the true victims of a deplorable system that simply is not working and is full of racism, classism and despair.
Conservatives and right wing evangelicals will concentrate on the crime aspect of Baltimore, so they can rationalize the social-economic disparity in the system itself. They don’t want to see the repression, racism, injustice and greed creating these kind of situations. Selfishness blinds the eyes of modern conservatism and as long as they have money and healthcare etc they use superficial reasonings to dismiss all the poor, imprisoned, unemployed, disenfranchised and hurting people as lazy, criminal etc. Don’t fool yourself people. The gap between the haves and have nots is growing and the conservative movement is one of the main reasons why. If you’re a republican or a tea party person, REPENT! What happened to Freddie Gray is pure evil and only apart of the real story of todays AMERICA!
What Will They Get In Toning Them Down In Iran?
What will they in throttling them,
Toning them down,
Suppressing the movement,
Shooting them dead,
Killing them?
Is conservatism all,
Is orthodoxy?
Your Shayrana Andaz For Burkhawalli, I Admire It
Your shayrana andaz
For Burkhawalli
I appreciate and admire it,
But your conservatism
I like it not,
Let Burkhawalli speak
What it is in her mind,
Let her open heart.
America Should Ban The Entry Of Ismic Religious Minorities
America if it has to sustain
And survive
The onslaught of medievalism and conservatism
In terms of terrorism
Should ban the entry
Of religious minorities
Which are blind to their faith and belief
And are cold to logic and reason
If has to live
As per its charter.
