Publication Dreaming
The Wait:
A literary fetus
conceived,
in the ripe womb,
of the stressed planet;
over its-
calamitous species; Man.
Gone full term- labor ended,
his treatise raw.
..
Cynicism, revelation?
Hungry words,
unpleasant truths,
fundamental logic.
...
Divining the day,
reaction to...
his newborn manifesto-
Author snorts,
foresees an outcome,
following release
of toxic expression.
Shock-
picket lines,
...”Poet becomes
the Demon;
his opinion a cancer...
Boycotts,
Christian book burnings.
They see him-
Invasive;
a destructive insect.
One to be squashed-
Exterminated. Like thoughtless herring,
they swim in circles, carrying signs,
coordinating prayer vigils,
...directing
hate observances.
Congress convenes,
the Women’s League of Voters,
NAACP,
Republicans,
Muslims,
Temple virgins,
and Roman authority
roar the injustice.
Halleluiah ministers,
bark “Amen propaganda
in the name of
an unseen deity.
Black leaders shaking fists,
Broadcasting,
Interventionist Hypocrisy.
Ahh, smiles the Poet, Just so much,
Odium from the Podium.
..
He Visualizes,
a burning straw effigy,
of the man-
for his sin.
Wild infernos, spiraling black.
Appeasement bestowed
upon, angry idols.
The faces horrible;
hears the chanting,
of righteous indignation,
the American way,
reprimanding,
rescinding,
expression for the few,
shackles for the free.
Ruin and Tar,
for the ignoble misanthropist-
silencing the decadence.
..
Author puffs...
pulls cool smoke,
from a dangling menthol,
rubs his chin stubble,
narrows his eyes...
grins and-
Says to no one...

I love self indulgent poetry. Don't go overboard. The devil is much better looking!
Loved it. The photo reminds me of myself! lol. Voted up and awesome.
Thanks Angela- i decided to start posting again- I've got hundreds - unfortunately, i'm not allowed the real freedom of expression i'd prefer here on HP- thanks for the thumbs up- i sure dig the scene of self indulgence and truth.:)
peace
greg
Haha, Angela- just said that to Angela-
thanks for the read
what is overboard? there is no raft or life boat to sit in and hope for rescue- we rescue ourselves-
- no real devil or god- we are masters of our destiny...
peace friend-
greg
Lisa- stop smoking ;]-~~ its a good thing to be avarice and counter- good for the liver not the lungs- i gave up trying- the timeline forces me to produce! Ha-Ha!
peace and thanx
greg
Your poem intrigued me.You obviously have poetic talent. I read your comments and there is one thought I would like to share with you. There is a life boat and we all need to be rescued. You may not see that now but one day you may realize.By your free will you will either receive the gift of life or you will reject it. Man can do many things but he can not give himself life. That is why he eventually withers away and dies. The spirit is given the gift of life by God, to those who choose to receive it. Is it so bad to hope in great love, peace, and eternal life? For those who do not want to seek this spiratual understanding they will never know the truth because they do not seek to know. It creates a blindness that centers the individual on the self...a creates a perspective that sucks the mind into a vaccuum of ego and pride. One last thought. To not believe in the devil is to make an assumption that you can only hope is not correct. There is absolutely no way you can know that he does not exist. So in a way my friend, you are hoping that you are right. All your hope is based on this. If you ever do realize differently remember, there is a lifeboat there if you decide to reach out. Peace.
Very nice poem. I love the imagery. You're very talented. Voting up.
Hey Sturgeon- ha! a dying species of fish that is being devoured by relentless fishing and ignorance-
is this a coincidence in your balm?
i have no no qualms in saying your beliefs and assumptions are bullshit- millions have died for such crap - have died for your very beliefs and misconceptions.
my assumptions are based in a human condition of fear and superstition.
predicament can only be your lasting legacy, as it has been for the last 1500 years - your god is illusion- your planet a salvation- your belief is one of hearsay and corrupted texts- money is the aim of the righteous- fame- and priesthood is for fools.
- your hope is laid upon the feet of ignorance and based in flaws.
peace to you- you won't find it being a follower-
be a leader in your own life...
there is no God!
greg
humans have had, since the beginning of faith and misunderstanding, that none of your saviors ever save at all---- look around you- don't be a herring. condemnation- do your homework- you may see it well- i once was a herring- a christian- a fools endevour- my world is not centered around flawed logic and a hypocritical book based in superstiyious nonsence. allow for difference and
Thanx Savanahi- :)
i appreciate the read and positive comment-
it is more than a poem though-
it is a message...
a message against the hypocrisy laid down on the masses, that even the holy messengers of the past, have been misinterpreted for.
hope you caught that!
...be an individual- question everything- don't allow others to make up your mind---- fuck the response- be you- live a life of open mindedness- one of true freedom from restraint and idolatry...
peace friend- love you all...
love ya
You've made a come back break through like a swirling whirling dervish through the smokey mists of Hell Greg. Powerful write bro.
It is no mistake that the sturgeon fish produces caviar for elite society with the most discriminating taste. The reduction in this species of fish will only result to strengthen the value of its existence. I would like to clarify your assumption that believing in God makes someone a follower, who does not think for themselves. I do not ignorantly follow an ideology that has been forced upon me. I am an individual who has gone down many different paths. I know the philosophy you justify and the rationality you profess. Ultimately, they only dilutes into weak arguments. You claim I live an illusion, but I tell you that the only illusion is the soul that separates from their creator pretending to be master of your own destiny. To think that you do not have a spiritual existence is to deny the life force that runs through your body this very minute. To ignore this aspect of your being is like slowly sucking the air out of a balloon until it is flat. With no air replenishing the balloon the ability to float freely is lost and remains dormant in the dirt. The power to be free does not come from oneself, we are only the balloon. And just like the balloon we are filled up with the spirit of God. This makes us truly free and able to rise up to be leaders of strength and substance. The power you claim to have over your life can change in a split second. It is a limited power, one that has an end, and one that is delusional. To truly be empowered we need to discover the divinity of God available to us in spirit. This is when we truly understand freedom and what it means to be a leader. To deny the development of your spiritual self is to slowly deflate yourself of all power...it is inevitable. Peace to you.
I believe in an ultimate source which we all make up and are a part of. The God of the bible if he existed is someone I surely wouldn't worship. In the old testament he loved war, he condoned rape, murder, and gave the ok on slavery. I wont even go into the fact that he demanded sacrificing of poor little animals. He was vengeful, angry, jealous, etc. Then in the new testament he gets nice. His son, Jesus, talks of love, forgiveness and all that good stuff. God seems a little bipolar to me. The bible is a joke and so is religion. It is nothing more than a different version of ancient stories and ancient gods, all with the same plot. Religion is to control the masses and was made by man. People are so brainwashed, just as they were programmed to be and cannot realize that they are God. We all are and we have the power right within us to create whatever it is we want. If you're waiting for some man to jump out of the sky and finally save you and the world, then I would say that you have a long wait. Anyone waiting on Jesus to fix things is positively a follower, weak, and under a strong delusion. There is no devil or hell unless you create it for your reality. Truth doesn't need to go around proclaiming itself or begging people to believe it. It just is. It needs no crutch or help. God must be a whimp if he needs all of the dolly-do-gooders who secretly have their own vices, to go around and force his bullshit down peoples throats.
P.S. I enjoy smoking and have no plans to quit. I guess I'm the Devil. Boo!
Hey Lisa - Well said...
These views stir up so much commotion for true believers. the insecure world of illusion, smoke, and mirrors; lived in at onset, becomes even more clouded with self doubt. Blind faith or following blindly?
Deity worship, just isn't my thing. sorry- tried it- was forced into it at baptism in the catholic church-
rediscovered something years later while in prison for a self medication charge :)
was going to free me- give me the ability to be born once more.
saw hypocrisy and filth enough for one lifetime- up the ass north and south of the Mason Dixon- on two continents..
I did allow, one last shot at it without firing the CEO without reason or just cause-
is a comfort for many- decision making is much easier- prejudice and "better than" becomes OK! Hate- injustice- cruelty- as you mentioned in the old testament- Joshua and his wrecking crew left nothing alive on the path to milk and honey-
you said it! this god sounds bipolar.. schizophrenic even- 3 in one- ha!
We seem to follow similar paths Lisa- i am convinced you took much time to come to your decision to seek answers elsewhere- looked inward..
All the time given to the search by billions- and the answer was already there- in our DNA-
My mongrel Elliot taught me more about becoming a true human being than any black robe- speaking of black robes-
i suggest that everyone watch a movie called the "Black Robe" a little twist on conversion for the heathens in the north woodlands in New France- my ancestors were those heathens in that region- as well, the trappers and clergy, loosed on a civilization to destroy what was not understood...in the name of god.
I'm an historian- trained- credentialed- and my focus is on pre Colombian civilization in the Americas- no need to go back to the old testament looking for injustice, hatred, murder, bigotry, prejudice, rape, gold gathering,and false idol worship- happened right here- still is...
our native brethren here still suffer the repercussions of uprooting an entire people- forcing a language- religion- way of life- on many millions who lived differently- sought differently- looked differently- a terrible price to pay- in the name of a Judeo-Christian god who came to save them from their sinful nature...
Be of high spirits- wish Peace for all - our universe is a fair one- we are ONE- even 'the holy' have their place- many run in circles, but also- many follow good paths.
Catholics- Lutherans- Baptists- 7th day'ers- Holy rollers all... Protestants- Born Again's- Jehovah's.... something is terribly wrong if all profess to be the true under-stander's of the same god. blind faith is a crooked path to take- goes for the apolitical as well.
all will find the answers sought shortly- a human lifetime is so short- the waste of even one day of hypocrisy in a week adds up- many will wish on death's bed, begging for more morphine and not god- as last rites are applied to have those hours back... our energy- our life force is no stronger than that of my mongrel's here-
we all are one- hard for so many to understand a simple truth... one professed by the Nazarene, who never intended to be elevated to the status of,the son of God on a cross- on the hill- around necks- and in sanctuaries- built for the confinement of what cannot be confined- Truth.
Be cool sister- thanx for coming back and making a stand-
peace- greg
Sturgeon:
I understand your faith, probably better than yourself- be of good spirits- it takes many ingredients to make a good stew.
just don't sit in it.
peace sister- your welcome back anytime you wish to open your mind and heart and be flexible in your understanding of others.
this wasn't meant to be a treatise on slamming you personally- it is a poem i wrote in less than 30 minutes- keep a lookout for more- we will butt heads again
until then- Ciao Signorina.
greg
Hey Alastar- been thinking about you bro- how's life? ur right, it seems i've broken taboo here-
you understand me well enough to know i mean no harm- many don't feel i have the right to publish my mind- or the right stuff period! Ha-
keepin' the ball rollin'- the dervish swirlin'-
it's all in a half hours work! :)
thanx for the drop-in and time spent here my friend... will visit shortly- much work still to do on editing both books- Travis is turning out to be a success like i had never intended- if it wasn't for you and a couple others singing your praises on the shorts i wrote 4 HP- i may never have followed thru- thanx for being there Alastar- you will be mentioned, if that's alright with you... Dusty is one of my favorite characters in the story-
peace brother-
catch ya lata! :[_~~
Hey Greg. It has been an interesting butting of beliefs. I will look out for more for our opportunity to butt heads. I am glad we can converse and agree to disagree. I would like to say that there are an aweful lot of second hand claims made about the new and old testament that people totally misinterpret. The messages are rarely as obvious as they seem. So many people speak like they know what is in those books when they have barely opened the pages to study them. Or they fixate on a message that is completely out of context. Also, most people who refuse to know God normally judge Him on the the actions of imperfect humans that misrepresent Him.Yes, we are all one but according to the free will of man we are able to separate our union with God by choice. Not all individuals end up all comfy, happy and peaceful in the same place after death...although we would all like to think so. Peace.
Haha- yes, Sturgeon-
many talk and blow steam; who in fact know little of which they speak... thank your deity i am not one of them- it's an interesting book- i'll say that.
Why is your God a male? does he have a penis and facial hair? un-gender your creation- some women may take offense! just sayin...
haha
BTW- thanx for the fan mail..
this could be the start of a beautiful relationship in distress from the beginning.
peace sister
greg
Yes, a beautiful relationship in distress indeed. Peace brother!
:))
Greg
Believe me when I say I have searched my whole life for the truth. It is a burning desire and I question everything because I suppose I am curious by nature. I cannot say that I have found the truth in full, but I know that I am at least free from the delusion of religion.
I know the bible quite well. I studied it in classes for 30 years 3xa week and then Sunday. Also at home very often. I have no beef with people who believe in non existent Gods and false doctrines as long as they don't force it on others. They are more toxic than secondhand smoke. I have known many many religious big shots and followers and honestly, none of them lived up to what they preached. I have zero tolerance for hypocrisy. If people walked their walk, I would at least respect them.
After 30 years of studying and searching, coming to no real conclusion or answers that matched, I grew up. It was time to look within and know that all answers and truth would be in my consciousness, in the universe and in the creation along with its creatures. These things would tell the story. I have learned more about life and love from my little dog, Mini, than I have from any human. My dog is more human than any person I have known. I mean this sincerely. I know it is wrong, but I love dogs more than I love people. I am ashamed to say that.
I learned more about you from your comment than I have from reading your hubs. I must say that I am impressed. I don't really know much about poetry but I read most of your hubs because I love your dog. You were in prison for self medicating????? What does that mean? I guess I was in prison for the usual; being a criminal.
Thank you for telling it like it is. I hate it when people sugar coat things just to be nice and popular. Sometimes you have to present things in an outrageous manner to get through to the people who are under hypnosis. Most wont take a look at what you say and investigate it. They will just do what they are programmed to do and say the usual stuff. I feel badly for them and love them anyway.
Take care, Greg. Keep being you. You're awesome.
Great post...Thanks
and thanx for comin' by htodd :)
- and taking the time.
peace sister
Hey Lisa- i appreciate your candidness and open mindedness in revealing the who behind your name. who we ultimately are many times, is built over decades- on nerve- how we consistently deal with our setbacks and successes. my character is based in acceptance of my frailties, but not in shoe licking- i make my point- and ask for intelligent feedback-
thank you for yours!
we can choose to stay down on the mat and pray for deliverance that never truly comes- or we get back the hell up on our feet, dust off, and continue the journey- easy as that- hard as that.
I believe these words, passed back and forth would make a wonderful write- ;]-~
BTW- jailed for self medicating: because the rhode island legislature saw mine; and thousands of others, disease of addiction as something to be ignored and to be put behind bars for.
so be it- it is done- and has merely added to my strength in character.
Thanx again Lisa
peace sister
greg
Hi Greg; Good to have you back. Powerful message. Its seems like there's been a lot of behind the scenes subtext for you since I last read your stuff. Feel free to vent and give your opinions. It's cathartic.
Rob
Hey Amigo, this is tame bro', carry one into the forums and throw down under religion and watch the explosion, Ha!
Sail with freewill your supposed to and choose your wants, again your supposed to,
Peace,
Love,
Dust
Hey Rob- Hows the Apple?
good to be back and receive such a mixed review... i've been behind the scene but not away- working hard to get both books finished... this was a test!
happy as hell to see you here as well- freedom of expression is an ideal held close to heart- some wish to stab it!
Ha!
thanx bro for the read and a refreshing welcome back
peace my friend
greg
Hey Dust- Thanx bro- that's what i thought-
don't want to offend by expression, if that is so-
well, i say put on a thicker fuk'n skin and eat sour cherries- improves the quality of the sweet taste buds.
peace brother- u and I are muchachos- amigos- shouldn't have doubted that you wouldn't take offense...
greg from down under
Yo Amigo, I just read this again for lack of seeing anything I deemed better past the "Average American" putting up a piece in semi support of my own family,
http://averageamerican.hubpages.com/hub/US-Marine-
I took a different tact here this read, IF there is a God and he controls all and your movie has been made from start to finish before your birth, then my meeting you was by direction of overlapping film you said, "Catholics- Lutherans- Baptists- 7th day'ers- Holy rollers all... Protestants- Born Again's- Jehovah's.... something is terribly wrong if all profess to be the true under-stander's" and more cults/religions than we will ever know all are right? I attended the only one that was true, except it was called all sort of names in many locations with too many different rules to keep track of.
I dusted off my britches and trudged on down the road, and traveled on. This came to mind, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dwm-5ABSIs0
Now don't mistake my stance that of an atheist, as you know I'm quite theist, but I hold no religion as truth, the only thing I ever got out of a church house was judged, the only thing I have that I can keep is my word. My yes is yes and my no is no and then there is "I got nothing" meaning I don't know and I'm not committing until I can put a yes or no on it.
'Til then I spose I'll just live treating others as I'd soon have them treat me. I'm theist in karma big time, and there is many who claim Christianity who are afraid to die, that to me is irony that just can't be out done. I've heard it said and read the words of "streets of gold, rare stones everywhere as far as the eye can see" I lose the thought process right there, I have no interest in gold or diamonds now, why would I endeavor toward promise of such being an ultimate reward? I'd be down for a set of tires or some one else to sand my jeep so I could repaint it, and if I walked into a church and asked for help in those areas, I think I'd get laughed out the door. I don't mean to sound like a judge, I'm just reflecting the fruit of a tree that has shown itself empty in to many times.
My dad, at my age now, volunteered at a business meeting along with 6 or 7 others that they would re-shingle the roof of the church house if the coffers bought the material. It ended up a great start, and then on day two the mid 60 old man found himself alone bucking squares up a ladder setting in the Arizona sun with a roofers hammer nailing on shingles, day after day, a helper showing up now and again, but he kept banging away until the last shingle was placed. Right next to the church house in a provided home lived the preacher man, there is no way he could have not witnessed my dad out there alone and maybe sent a cold drink over once in a while.
I asked my dad, "why did you keep going for weeks, while everybody else said fuck it?" and he said "because I SAID I would". There it is, what could anyone say to that?
If things like that were practiced under the shingles he laid and it was widely known that the people inside were of that mind and willing to carry each and every soul that walked in the door, your opinion as well as mine would be different than it is about organized religion equates to organized Hippocrates.
The Bible says if your in need, don't ask a brother (meaning fellow of like mind in the church) but ask a friend. There is a truth in the Bible, one has to understand what is meant across the translations in many cases, but I can't turn my back to all that it truly represents, just to what men have shown us, what they themselves represent.
In full circle it comes to karma and you know like I know, what way we should go and that there is more than this life coming at us. Most Christians will leave kicking and screaming wishing they had lived a life. As for me I'm gonna slide out quietly, hoping that I get to do it again.
Until then I reckon I'll sand my own jeep knowing if we lived on the same block that you'd be helping me and I wouldn't have to ask, and I would do the same if I saw you doing what 2 could do faster and easier, especially if it were holding down lawn chairs and turning money to beer and beer to urine, ha! magic!
Peace Mi Amigo,
dust
Hey Dust, @ this moment i have to put off with a response, but i'll be back when i have more time-
i can't just leave you with a half-assed,
"Thanks allot Mr Tibbs, am glad you came by.."
I ain't about blowing smoke up your ass.
you're spot on when say that perhaps our get together was destined.
I've long held the opinion that there are folks in our lives that seem as though the comfort level can only be attributed something greater as a whole than the individuals singularly. Like souls do meet up again after a time- why? i'm just going to not question it- past lives? maybe- i've been around some and have never let go those from the past, because of that connection. good example of a kindred soul is a buddy of mine from childhood who was a navy brat and our friendship was ended. But fact is, it never ended. Terry and i had stayed in touch for years, wrote letters, called on the phone, but fate intervened and we lost each other... this week i found him- just like always we picked up right where we left off- awesome- lives in New Mexico, just as my life long friend Jay does. i told him about my amigo in CA dropping the ball and cutting out of the road trip.
Now i'm trying to figure out how i can squeeze all three of you in on a trip of my own, and keep that hope alive... i'm just gonna let it happen on its own. my Dad always told me not to plan anything, but instead to allow time and circumstance to let it happen. sure enough brother, i feel it will be alright- that guy in CA was taken out of the equation by something i don't question.
Same goes about meeting somebody, and right from the get-go, i want to move as far away as i can without hesitation, or plain just wanna smack the sumbitch and relieve him of some of that pride and ugly.
you've got a good soul Dusty- this is a truth i won't question. do you follow me on that one?
"Right on Bro!" :]_~~
And believe me Dust, i most certainly would be right next to you with my grubbies on, a bucket of water next to me, wet sanding away to beat the band!
... i'm a good friend to those in my life that don't take my kindness for weakness- a few boys in prison did that- i'm here to tell ya Dust, they didn't do it anymore- a long story that perhaps we'll jaw on one of these days.
about that link, sorry links above i'll get to em- especially the Marine story.
K Bro gotta go- Adios Amigo
Love ya Dust- Be Cool, Keep it real Man!
Peace,
Greg....
ps) i only meant to kick out a few lines to tell you i'd get back later- Haha!(: should of known better!

I'm interested in the link you handed me out going to the
