PJ, totally spot on. The attempt was to capture as much of life as possible with that stream/stroll of consciousness, helped by Morricone; and yet the awareness of the bad guys interrupts my flow. But then I realize our divine power to vaporize these bastards with our own internally generated sunlight 8 billion x. Lovely observation. Thanks man.
Poe always fascinated and repulsed me with his schizophrenic (my paraphrase):
My love is beautiful with the gossamer threads of her garments as a funeral shroud for her rotting corpse...
etc.
When I contemplated the Tao = Yin/Yang with what I call the Two Spots that Taint, I realized that in my own mind, in my own work, I would like to create something purely beautiful but the snake-in-the-garden has its tongue in everyone's ear so it's hard not to take a whack at the snake while you're at it.
Your picture was reinforcement that, "Dude waddn't talkin' 'bout fruit." But that shining yellow sweet/sour (like life isn't it?) hand grenadine that is just so happy hanging from a tree in SUNLIGHT will always be the after-image burnt into my mind from the opening.
Thanks for sharing the effect this had on you, leaving a shining happy lemon radiating in your mind. That's what I was attempting to capture, the la di da walk along a sunlit path bouncing to a Morricone track. Yet the irony of seeing all the people in their roles, yet triggering another reality of what the billionaire baddies are trying to do to Life.
At the end of it all, I guess you can say that--in a roundabout way--I made lemonade with the lemons that were given to me by these particular musings. Thanks for helping me see this in another one of your amazing poe(kine)tic comments.
P.S. If you have (or will write) a book of poetry, please let me know.
You always One-Up me with something as brilliantly poetic as:
Making lemonade with the Lemons.
I Barked Like a Dog!
I USED to play original music to which I wrote the lyrics. I might dust a few off and make them public. Don't have them assembled into a printable form.
Right now you've got the ember started on doing at least a posting of one song's lyrics WITH images and having the tune as an audio file.
Or your heart Mirror to awaken the power in those who could change the world for the better! maybe it's just semantics. But It seems they have us hypnotized, and maybe even our vengeance and violence is part of their programming, WHEN it could just take us waking up to our own power to dissolve them by our power to create from OUR perspective, rather than their programming. We want an end to evil and suffering and pain, so do we do it through the CHAOS they have poisoned us with, Or do we CREATE FROM A TOTALLY NEW PARADIGM?
I think you have a good point; I should take my own advice that I wrote in my poem, "Imagination: the only Nation" in which I imagine a new reality coming into existence in various ways. I don't condone violence, however mind you one has the right to defend oneself if attacked (which they are doing albeit indirectly via their psyops). At the end of the day, I'm all for ending evil, suffering and pain in the most peaceful way possible. WE are the peaceful ones, whereas they're not (which is truly a shame, because if they could find a way to get over their psychopathy, their ideologies, their inherent hatred of humanity, we could achieve heaven on earth - or pretty close to it.) Great question you pose at the end of your comment, and my hope is to transform through Creation rather than Chaos they're trying to destroy us with. Wishing you a wonderfilled weekend!
I love your Imagination Nation poem, that's the one I linked on one of Clif High's posts and Calen Tanner Lightheart wants to put music to it with you!!
I am all for ending suffering and pain too. I write about it all the time. THE BIGGEST PSYOP of all is when they told us that Pain and suffering are NECESSARY to learn and grow.
Number One: There needs to be a mass awakening of the truth among humanity.
Every human would need to know the truth and the truth is that we are all divine souls on this earthly plane, and our existence is meant to be in liberty and autonomy.
That’s it. It’s that simple. That is the ultimate truth.
There is a Creator that created us and that Creator has granted us a divine soul that we’ve incarnated into this physical body, and our goal in this physical world is to live in liberty and autonomy.
That’s number one. And every human in the world needs to know this.
This is the ultimate truth¹.
Number Two: There is an evil force that seeks to enslave these divine souls and, in doing so, it enslaves humanity.
This evil has taken on human form to accomplish this task, and this is why we see a small elite—e.g., 1%—working to control the 99%.
This enslavement is both spiritual and physical: it originates as a spiritual enslavement, but we see its influence manifest in the physical realm as well.
This is the second truth that every human needs to know.
The first truth is that we are divine souls. The second truth is that there exists an adversary² to this divine freedom.
Number Three: the world we live in today is not the world intended by the Creator
The third truth humanity needs to understand is that the world we live in today is not the world intended by the Creator, as described in the first truth. Our world is not a world of liberty or self-autonomy.
Instead, our current world reflects the influence of number two: the enemy.
To reach the world of truth and liberty, we must reverse-engineer the control and enslavement of number two.
This is the reality we face: to transform our world, we must dismantle the structure of number two and realign it with the freedom and purpose of number one.
Sharing this profound comment as much as possible. We can do this, perhaps at a decentralized level at first, then eventually, masses of us coming together in the spirit of interdependent cooperation. 1000 thanks PBM!
When I close my eyes I can see a brilliant light. At night when I can't sleep I concentrate on this inner light and making it as bright as the sun. This is very real.. We all have it. Try it. Close your eyes and see it. Us 8 billion are more powerful then they want us to know.
Thank you Karafree for such a lovely powerful meditation of our divine power. I’m working on this in my own way and just think of what we could all do with this meditation alone.
Oh JM, thanks a million! No worries, now we’re connected. I just subbed to your stack. I’ve seen you on the threads/comments with Patrick Jordan and Karafee and was blown away by your musings as well. Feel free to check out my other poems which go even deeper. Catch you later, tater! VP
You've got such an innate gift for words & the workings of this reality. It will be my pleasure to peruse your stacks. Thank You for the kind words. ... My people think I'm NUTZ. ... It's such an awesome feeling knowing that we are all connecting here to figure this multi dimensional, time dialation, Dialectric , ELectroMAgnetic cage out.
The few friends I have IRL know I write poetry but never bother to read it; not sure why really. Maybe they think it’s above/beyond them, but THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY’RE MISSING hahaha.
Maybe they’re unable to “handle” that side of me, that I have such thoughts? IDK and IDC - and you shouldn’t either. No, JM…your people are on here. Maybe not IRL (yet), but they’re here. And I’m very grateful for this!
I could not have said it better myself... I think its kind of nice that I ran off all my "friends" with my "crazy speak" ... gives me more time to process what's important & not have to deal with reindeer games.
Oooh! I see you just recommended me. Thank You so much. I don't author .. maybe someday ... I recommended you back, but It tried to make me agree to something on the app ... I'm just not that type of girl ... so I will go back & do it manually.
The whirled will be a better place having the opportunity to enjoy your poetry!
It’s to make more room for real friends, albeit virtually (for now). As Bruce Willis says in Die Hard: “Welcome to the party, pal!”
Thanks a million for the recommendation and the wonderful comment about reading my poetry (I’m actually working on something to give the whirled an opportunity to check out my work- an official announcement will be forthcoming).
A most unusual work with a subtle political undertow that eventually becomes a rising tide. "It's how we live our lives now." I quote someone else, who I have heard express similar insight.
Carl, thanks so much for your comment. Yes, it's living in the irony of wanting to enjoy a pure sunlit walk after work, yet aware of what the bad guys are trying to do to us and this world. The poem is multi-layered in this fashion, revealing one layer after another, from celestial to geopolitical. I'm trying to take in as much reality revealed to me in a given moment in time and freeze it with poetry.
Beautiful summer sentiments even if tainted by the mass "zombies" we're surrounded by. Lovely poem as usual VP. Thank you for sharing your truths with us. I hope to be back to sharing more words soon.
Kiana, so great to see you! I dropped out of Threads a while ago b/c I found it to be too woke for my tastes. Hope all's well with you and that you're writing. Thanks so much for your lovely comments. All the best to you!
I'm not around much on Threads either. I drop in there ....but it wasn't my platform of choice. I wish I was writing as much as I'd like, sadly, I'm dealing with some recent deaths in the family and not feeling very inspired to put pen to pad. Thought about coming back to Substack, perhaps once I feel the urge to share again. I look forward to your emails though!!!! ♥
Interesting poem, I like! Lots of images come up in my mind, which is good. ^_^
Is it me, or have you been away for a long time?
Regardless, nice to see you again, and read your poem.
Been away for a while writing (of course), taking care of my missus, keeping the house running. Etc.
Good to "see" you and read your latest. xo xo
Awesome, I thought: A poem about one of my favorite fruits? (although curiosity on how it ripened so early).
OK, I thought: Edgar Allen Poe juxtaposition of the affluent effluent of sports fans with the Have-Nots.
Alright, I thought: ViP has a soundtrack in his mind as he navigates the channels, and bridges and thoroughfares.
Oh No!, I thought: I don't want to even think of the be-sweatered one because it leaves a stain in my mind that even bleach can't remove.
Well, that's it, then, isn't it, I thought at the thought of 8 billion mirrors all focused on darkness to obliterate it.

Inner Resting.
You inspire me, what can I tell you? Lol. Looking forward to seeing this other side of PJ.
the magnifying glass focusing a sun beam on a single leaf. Fun childhood experiment, unless you're a pyromaniac.
Yes but I’d rather focus my heart mirror on vaporizing all the globalist parasites 8 billion x. Lol

That is why the heartless tyrants want to do away with the most of us. They are afraid.
Dude! You are soo DEEP! I absolutely enjoyed your musings!
Where have I been all this "time"?

I'll take virtual REAL friends over what's out there stumbling around thru "real" life any day of the week! :)
I'm sure whatever you have up your sleeve will be well received!
I have a confession. I was never really into poetry...it mostly confused me with word gibberish, YOU have expanded my her eye zone immensely!
🙏 𝓣𝓗𝓐𝓝𝓚 𝓨𝓞𝓤 for that gift!
Un beau et profond poème, engagé!
Un beau partage.
Merci beaucoup! 🙏🙏🙏
I forgot to translate, but you got it. :)
Excellent poetry Victory Place! I’m so happy I came across this in my feed this evening! Have a weekend as beautiful as your words 💖
Oh dang! So sorry about the late response Charlotte. All the best! VP
No problem, of course! Thank you @Victory Palace 💖✨🤗

Very athletic poetry, in at least a couple of ways. Excellent work.
🙏🙏🙏 thank you Sol
My pleasure. Keep up the good ... play!
Haha…play! Yes that’s it!
Beautiful summer sentiments even if tainted by the mass "zombies" we're surrounded by. Lovely poem as usual VP. Thank you for sharing your truths with us. I hope to be back to sharing more words soon.
Oh Kiana, so sorry about your losses and hope you get some comfort during this tough time. Hope to see you soon on the stack. Blessings to you.
many thanks ♥♥
