Epigrams #33 (Witticism: to Wake Up to (in Spanish and English now))

1

Theres an old saying thats quite true:
If theres a will, theres a way, alas,
Make sure you make room for a way
back though.

6/2004

2

People dont choose their fears;
their jealousies, envies and hates,
they do.

3

The secret is not that an alien race
has come to earth to visit us, it is in
that, it dies on a sunless planet,
someplace in nowhere.

4

The Human Origins: possibly is
a mixture of ancient genetic mutations
and a face lift from Homo Habilis,
to the Homo creatures we are today.
But who did the uplifting?

5

For every effect there is a source;
and who shall have the right to
possess it? It is a good question.

And to kill a killer, you must be
a more sever killer, or be killed.

6

For every effect created
there is a price to be paid
by the population that safe
guards it.

7

Faith believes, it also tru sts,
and it also tests.

8--

Evil breeds evilthus,
the initiator has something
to look forward to 9

There are things more powerful than Hell
and its demons: its called: self-interest.

10

Sometimes were in the mouth of the whale
and still other times we are running from the lion;
seldom are we in the jungle undisturbed; thus,
when it comes about, we must grab the moment

Note: Epigrams: 11 and 12 written 1/2006

11

Tragedy

When there is pain
It becomes more important
(for some reason), when
happiness is nearby.

1/25/2006 [#1105

12

Cold Displeasure

Cold Displeasure leaves a man twisted
so tight it gives him exasperating absentee
thinking.

1/28/2005

Note: The following two Epigrams on
Character [13& 14 were written: 2/1993

13

Character #1

I hasten to say
Statements into man's character
Also refers o his soul! ...

14

Character #2

Character is often molded more by
[induced by self interest; thus,
leaving man chained to a clock
that is about to crack.

15

Imagery Poetry

Poetry: Imagery(or, Imagination) in
poetry, is the life and character of a
poemlest you clip its wings and
call it cosmic.

#1122 1/29/06

16

The Living Ears

They stand along side of me,
those ears, filled with sounds,
hand-made speakers (reversed)
by some angelic being; they
stand, those sea-faring twins,
my brethren, bringing their
emerald sounds into my head.

#1123 1/30/2006

17

Barred Windows and Lost Shoes

In a world of figs and power-brokers,
Satan runs after poets; thus, I cant
apologize for what is truth, but poets
always seem to be looking for a lost
shoes save, they dont jump out of
windows first!

18

< p>Was God a boy scout? No one
thinks so but Americans.

#1136 1/06

19

Believing in one religion to
another, because it was given
to you at birth, or at face value,
is like marrying in haste and
trying to make the best of it.

20

An Ideal

An ideal (your ideal) remaining an ideal
within ones self, until it becomes a
public nuisance (becoming annoying
to others), is your own fault if there is
a price to pay.

#1135 1/2006

21

The Double Flag

What can America say to the world?

It hasnt said already? with
its granite walls, and pilgrims rock;
for its civilization has no one flag, it
has them all. And so it shares its
flag with the world!... (where were
all from).

#1129 1/2006

22

Advice for Mice

Ive leaned for myself, my senses
are better than my mind [thinking or
deliberating. And anothers advice
bears self-interest; thus, what can
I do? Die as you will; pray as you
may; and avoid in-laws who have
more say with your spouse than
you.

#1130 1/2006

23

Character #1

I hasten to say
Statements into mans character
Also refers to his soul!...

2/1993 [#1146

24

Character #2

Character is often molded
More by (induced by) self-interest
Thus, leaving man chained to a clock
That is about ready to crack.

2/1993 [#1147

25

The Outside World

Perhaps we are not supposed to have
contact with the world (s) outside;
what can it do but bring us conflict:
distort, possess, alienateyet, it seems
to be part of our inexhaustible needs.

#1148 [1/2006

February Epigrams

26 Part one and two [#1157 2/2/2006

Time

If I find anything unforgivable,
it is squandering of time, in
a world we have so little of.

Wasted

Being unhappy is the norm
for some people; to point it
out, is simply throwing gun-
powder into a fire.

27

Don, John and Me

Don said he was going to beat the crap
out of me for screwing his wife. He even
chased me around the pool table in the bar;
then I said: Ok, lets fight! I tried to explain
that it wasnt me, but he said John told him it
was. The following day, I said to John: Why
did you tell Don such a lie? And John said
to me, Because youre tougher than me, and
can beat him up.

#1158

28

Christ and Taxes

We kill a million Christmas trees to
celebrate one mans birthday each
year, he is special of course, and is
worthy of this ritual. And some folks
have complained; but to be quite
honest, the IRS, cuts more down for
taxes.

#1162 2/2/2006

29

The Old and Dying

When my mother died it was like blowing
out a candle, almost as if she was ready
for a vacation; when death c omes, I hope
it is that simple; perhaps living was much
harder than dying for her; plus she had
Christ in her corner, she felt safe. She
wanted to go, so she told me, thus it
proves the old and dying are the wiser.

#1162 2/3/2006

30

Scheduled Poet

Hopeful poets die hopeful,
standing around waiting to
give poetry readings when
they could be livinggetting
high off of life.

#1199 2/11/06

31

Emptiness in Kyoto

God created man from emptiness,
Who created form from the emptiness

God usedand the form had eyes,
Like the sea had islands; and it was good.

#1200 2/10/2006

32

Delightful Rebellion

many youths are drunk

with rebellion
as if welded into it. My
advice is: get off the drunken
stage, before you fall off.

#1204 2/12/2006 Dedicated Ximena H.P.

Cold Eyes (Haiku)

The Devil wizs along
The edge of earth,
W ith cold eyes.

Hay un viejo refrn que es casi cierto:
Si hay un deseo, hay un camino. Ay de mi,
Sin embargo, asegrate de hacer sitio para un
Camino de regreso.

6/2004

2-

La gente no escoge sus temores-;
Sus celos, envidias y odios,
Ellos lo hacen.

3-

No es un secreto que una raza extraa
Haya venido a la tierra para visitarnos, esto esta
En eso, esto muere en un planeta nublado,
En algn lugar en ninguna parte.

4-

El origen de la Humanidad: posiblemente es
Una mezcla de antiguas mutaciones genticas
Y una expresin disipada de Homo Habilis,
Y las criaturas del homo somos hoy.
Pero quin hizo incitar?

5-

Para todo efecto hay una causa;
Y Quien tendr la razn para
Poseerla? Es una buen a pregunta.

Y para matar a un asesino, usted debe ser
Un servidor mas asesino, o ser matado.

6-

Para todo efecto creado
Hay un precio para ser pagado
Por la poblacin que resguarda
Esto.

7-

La fe cree, esta tambin confa-,
Y tambin examina.

8-

El mal crea mal-as
El creador tiene algo
Para mirar hacia delante.

9-

Hay cosas ms poderosas que el infierno
Y sus demonios: esto es llamado: inters propio

10-

Algunas veces nosotros estamos en la boca de la ballena-
Y aun otras veces estamos escapando del len;
Raras veces estamos nosotros en la selva tranquila; asi,
Cuando esto ocurre, debemos de grabar el momento..

11-

Tragedia

Cuando hay un dolor
Este llega a ser ms importante
(Por alguna razn), cuando
la felicidad esta cercana.

1/25/2006 (#1105)

12-

Fri sinsabor

Fri sinsabor deja un hombre torcido
Tan firmeme nte le da al ausente pensamiento
Exasperante.

1/28/2005

Nota; Los siguientes dos Epigramas sobre
Carcter (13 al 14) fueron escritos; 2/1993

13-

Carcter #1

Me apresuro a decir-
Los comentarios dentro del carcter de los hombres
Tambin se refieren a su alma.

14-

Carcter #2

El carcter es a menudo moldeado ms por
(Inducido por) intereses propios; as,
Abandonando al hombre encadenado a un horario
Eso es, cerca de sufrir una crisis nerviosa.
