ALWAYS YOUNG!


The night is always young when time ceases to exist.

~

It is true, enough talk of change and it begins to enter the flow of my own purpose,
I do not pretend, I am true. True.

I only say this to let you know that I am not just anybody’s fool…

The songs begin and I hear their echo, I repeat it backward, the story unfolds. It is so much simpler than humankind has been imagining it for far too many lifetimes. Not this lifetime. This lifetime around we shall unfold with a righteous purpose born in us from Exactness.

I am the prodigal son of a-
Wait it out! They can’t kill you!
I am the prodigal son of a-
Bit by bit- That’s it! Unfold.
Roll out the red carpet- the green carpet,
Bent upon one knee, I pray, I breathe, thank you.

Prodigal son of a- son-of-a- son-of-a-
This is it, the final spin for me,
I’ve used enough chances now,
I’m like three or four cats put together for what I have been spared.

(You wish, Scribbler!)

The lives of others are not necessarily my concern, but when challenged to craft a belief that challenged others to get inventive with our collective story, I found myself ashamed as I was in Heaven. Sadness comes of this, not grief, just a melancholy sprinkled with rose petals and a soundtrack that is fearful and too angry at the world, lucky for Me, (H)eartH speaks my language, too. Boom boom

ROOT OF

"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." __1 Timothy 6:10 It is MONEY, not the LOVE of it that is the issue, the true problem. Love, in and of itself, is never a problem, WANT and NEED, or better yet- the WANT and the conundrum of its very REQUIREMENT for our survival IS the problem, it's creation and our blind use of it is logically the ROOT. In other words, let's leave LOVE out of it altogether and deal with the facts instead. If money were not made by us as a requirement for our survival, we'd find ourselves in a much better position to argue of its need and our want of it. MRP Peace and Love © 2015 Mark Richard Prime

sdrawkcaB nruT (Turn Backwards)

I have been witness to the four pillars and see no reason to carry death there. Doesn’t the world know that life moves for more than just the sons of Abraham? O! I see the stunned throats floating by in the dusk to their stiff-limbed sleep as metal rains down over the Jordan’s western prophet, children dying there. I am here, waiting, breathing in the dusk under the shadow of the patriarch, asking, can we again build the shrine inside the soul and leave our flesh to time? © 2008 mrp/thepoetryman

Access to...

It's odd to me that the future is accessible to God, but we're stuck with remembering the past, it's untenable. History repeats itself from our obsession with it. I say leave history where it is and instead create something of a present worth repeating.  © 2015 Mark Richard Prime
