who are you, better
than i am? who are you?
really? who challenges
your own social patterns
what is Canada? What does
Zabadooey believe
do I talk too much
or is that your opinion?
what is a solution
lawsuit, jail time? my murder?
over words on a website?\
condecension? what the
heck does this shit solve?
what do I want? what do YOU want? that's the basic question, artistic freedom, a quiet space to reflect on and repeat beliefs that you take for granted, unchallenged?
I don't know if this place
really is that important
to be honest, do I have
to play emotional blackmail?
I had no idea poems would
be used to express anger, and the cold desire of want
needs, it's not the best
I could be, just a reaction
that's all it is, self analytical
reaction, inviting the same
"you talk too much" blah blah blah, i am the Great this
I am better than you
and the Tower of Babel was
cast down, metaphor or reality
by a bolt of lightning
human being have limits
I'm proof of that :)
i satire myself
by Mox
if we were here to
see each other face to face
what would we see there
pride? a desire
to prove who is right, to be
"the voice" who says it
as it is, resent
this hound, silence him or cast
him on, ban him, we
are social animals
and society is a game
and that games has rules
I would rather be a loser
for to me the game is a damnable lie leading
to eternal damnation
by Mox
I am bewildered
which is more rediculous
the "pompous rich socialist"
role, the run away psychopathic born again christian or
the "ah ha ha ha, I'm a cheese sandwich" person.
if you want me to go
away, stop playing all
these fucking games
and say "go away"
RC Sproul, Christian author
love, laughs a lot
thinks he's funny, Calvinist
now when I'm gone a nuisance
will be gone, but, maybe, oh, 7, 9 weeks later, gee, oh
who knows
who gives a shit
i know you guys don't
burn in hell? who knows :)
by Mox
the highest of folks
is the Servant of God
See you in heaven boys
if I don't go to
hell first, I suspected
then again these
guys are "liberals"
so they play games
by Mox
sometimes we need
the spurs to compete to
win the trophy at
the end of the day
the game is with competition
to deny it is death
by Mox
you talk way too much
servant boy shut up before
I replace your ass
by I OWN ZABA doo-doo
there's a strong urge
to desire to leave this world
so I can sit down
and write poems in peace
I don't mean suicide, i mean
a time without competing
voices living as billboards
to their own murderous egos
the wanna be idi amin's of
the world, at once pathetic
but also, dangerous, cellars
full of human skins
of those "who let them"
do it... God has stronger
plans for this place,
and those who usurp that
plan, including myself,
eventually face Judgement
by Mox
what is the Christian
way, what is the way of God
without the sad politics
of "Bush" hijacking it, my own
unconcious mockery of it, what is the way of God
to everyone here?

Dumb haiku lives on
In the stupid hearts and minds
Of teh interwebs
by Janis of Toronto
tea for two a dance
to be shared with a great friend
soft shoe in my cup
by another direction
there is a formal
nature to the "teas," the brush
the inked letters, that
in a world of winds
earthquakes, tsunamis, so on
there is just tea, for
when your mad christian
finally goes away or dies, I am
nothing, there is just, tea
time marches on
by Mox
one of the key problems of
my aesthetic is that it gets defensive and genuinely angry and takes things literally personally and when I saw I want to hurt the person, I should think to do something far more effective, the simple playground rule of "ignore" because a bully pushes buttons to get results: a reaction.
One of my less healthy but stubborn beliefs is in an evangelical Christian view of God as forgiving and social flaws as being literal spirits and not just human foiables but personalities without bodies that can misdirect people into conflict with one another over trivialities like oh, bulletin board trolling or how long a poem is.
I don't think I'll learn till
I am not here to speak my mind
by Mox
there is a common
desire in art to seem "cool" which
is a false zen nature
all unattached but still
without soul and without God
this is how I understand "modern cool" as a kind of Pharisee state of mind for the modern age

Coping strategy
Life can be so hard sometimes
But we do our best
by William Nippress
so, the other day
dropped my watch in the toilet..
what a shitty time!!!
by american standard
your personal growth
would not include credit for
having a hard on
by now go to recess
the king hung the court
jester in a fit of rage and
a week later
missed his court jester
no joy in the kingdom
no bells, silent streets
by Moxie
serenity and sometimes
the real mind is not social thing
but a solitary one
there is no one to play
court jester or art critic
only silence and the
peace of only one voice
which is what zen really
is, it just, is
suicide eh? :)
by Moxie
what would u get from
a person who hungers for
a kind word for once
what if you had a
good thing to say to someone, rather
than be a sophisticated
Zabadooey in a way, and
mock in that hateful
Godless, scholarly form
of dry, dead, uncreative
literary critics? which
is why modern writers
generally are like
a dusty living dead
they have nothing good to say period
by Moxie
A stupid mistake
Planned not planed Oh well its done
No retreat from there

Dead leaves lay scattered

My trust freely given but
Where are you leading?

Center myself, quiet my mind
Accept ebb and flow

Life has it planed out
What part I play is unknown

Northern frozen wind
Blasts down on us full of hate
Repetitive tripe

"hell is other people"
really, we get in each
others lives, faces
desires, goals, thoughts, schemes
tell each other what we/you/I feel
about the world
politics, weather
sexuality, sports, media
and proclaim crap
to what is real
only to us
by Anonymous Poet
well I can say this
soap operas are good to
clean with humor pun
laura sells furniture
with william riker and so
enterprise, GH
by Anonymous Poet
we had a class of
creative writers who had
nothing good to say
about each other
at least in here the humor
although unchristian
and "worldly" and a
bit overcompetitive
(the mind's ideas are
not a pie which one
runs out of see...), it's better
for critics and readers
we all are to a degree
so some of us give up
and write doggerrel...

asses could have been kissed

I am living here
alone, at home with urges
to lash out at this
world in some way to
make them see that I need out
and I want to live
but as I am i
want to die instead of taking
care of mindless old
aging, senile, dated
antique people who need to
die in order for
that person to get a life
and they are so old
only death sets those
around them free
