Three Poems Lima Judges and Evil's Creation

1.

Evils Creation

Thou knowith evil clings
To tender peace;
Nor does it heed ones drowsy
Un-enthralled grief

But softly it darkens
Twilights dunes;
With sprinkling shadows
Straight from the moon.

O Night! Who giveth birth
To Evils plight?
As mighty murmurs
Reached my breast:

His name has no beginning
And no end!

But why! O why?
Everlasting King,
Have you created!
Such a thing?

As mighty murmurs
Reached my breast:
To see, whom you love
The very best!...

Lima,
City with the Stretched out Wings

Its an ink-black night: no stars: no moon in sight
Just dots of: red, green and whitewhite lights
As the plane descends, descends, slides down
On the long-drawn-outflat lingering city of lights
Flat as a pancake, lit up like a Christmas tree
The sleepless city, with its stretched out wings
Stretching from the mo untains to the sea
Winding through the valleys, forests, and streams
Stretching, stretching its naked wingsendlessly

As,
Im descending, down, over and around the city
The city with stretched out windsendless lights
Down, down, behind, downward, its immune to me
Im just part of its evening, a baptism in its inky, sky

Invisible: people, cats, dog, birds, and rats, infinite
Uncountable: dots, dot-streams of lit, dot-lights;
People: walking, talking, sleeping, eating by the dots
People: waiting, killing, robbing, praying by the dots
For tomorrow, tomorrow and another tomorrow

They say:
You are ruthless, and I know this can be true
And they tell me you have thieves, and murders
And this, I dare say, but shall, is also true, very true
But show me a city to the contrary of eight-million?
I shake my fist and say: show me, but no one does
So alive, so brave, with strong and hungry hearts:
I sa y, show me one that sings in poverty, and smiles
Prove me one that, celebrates year-round of its heroes
Show me painters that are as good that sell on streets
And that welcomes the world with stretched out arms
Show me all this, or some of this, I will say no more

And so,
I descend to its streets, its crowed, winding streets
And to its neighborhoods with dust and soiled air,
And hear the laughs of the children, the dogs on roofs
The Shoe-shine boys, men, and numerous food carts
And with its naked featherless wings, covering all
Under its wrinkled aged men, women, standing tall
From drudgery, and toil, sweat, strive, grinding away
Each and every day, praying in the Christian way
You are like a mighty ship that sails and never sinks

Rose's First Poem:

Minnesota Judges

By Rosa Siluk

In Saint Paul, good judges are rare!
their judgments are personal,
and they dont care.
To stim ulate virtue,
they shake their hips.

In due course of time
I hope theyre replaced,
And all Saint Paul will have a new face.

For the Cussedest Rascals, in all the city
are those big horned judges
legal, but sissies.

And so I remark,
to the little and big
to the claimants they skip,
and nitwits they give.
