Blow, blow, blow off steam

Till the rafters shake

Get it off your chest

Do not bend or break


Vent, vent, vent like mad

Till the cows come home

Tell the gutsy truth

Wither you may roam

Fuck your two-hundred billion in net worth

fuck your five-hundred million dollar yacht

fuck your fifty-million dollar wedding 

and fuck your five-million dollar engagement ring


Fuck your A-list wedding, fuck everyone attending

fuck their greed, their selfishness, their inhumanity

fuck their lack of compassion, huge egos, fake smiles

and fuck them for honoring your lack of understanding


Fuck the people and organizations glorifying money and celebrity

fuck the stupid notion that wealth and fame automatically makes someone 

a good person worthy of being idolized, respected, and revered

and fuck you forever or until you wake up from your arrogant ignorance

I'm so glad I found you, right here at the end

I'm still growing, still trying, still breathing, still yearning

and my heart 'tis still open, as a well soul should be


I'm still laughing, still evolving, still hoping, still learning

and my mind 'tis still open, as the good brains in me

I'm dying

and I want to squeeze more out

some poetry, a little grandeur, one shout!


I'm feeling

and I need to hold on dear

to hope, a big breath, more cheer!

How did I feel when I lived

what did I sense as I loved?


When is a human life good

did I hold mine as I should?


Where is my his story here

do you remember me well?


Will I forget human beings

'til passing's time I can tell

Let's not lose our minds and go batshit berserk

we're not like them, we'll never be like them

we don't want war, we never want war

we want justice, fairness, equanimity, peace

we want intelligence, compassion, kindheartedness


We want a happy ending for Trump and MAGA

like the Scrooge phenomenon or the Grinch surprise

we want logic and rationality to reign

we want all wars to end and all war to cease

we want wonders for the human race and for our planet

The raucous roar of pounding surf falls gently pon my ears

The morning sunlight warms my skin from face to flat bare feet

Still sailing, cruising, drifting like a ghostship through the years

My crossing near the watershed where death and I shall meet


The curing call of lapping waves alleviates my fears

The morning sea breeze hugs my soul from head to tender toes

Still coasting, floating, wafting in spindrifts of salty tears

My passage into ripe old age now steady as she goes

'Twas a well human being, a man, waiting gently 'pon a passing,

he chose his garden as the place to go, flowered, cool, and grassy


'Twas a good heart the person had, overcome by lovingkindness

 two ladybugs, four butterflies one dog attending to his highness

Unconditional love's my intention, my destination, my destiny

unconditional love's the infinite, eternal, miraculous healing

happening right here right now


Intellectually I know these truths to be true

yet simply seeing isn't enough, only understanding won't do

I want to feel them, I need to sense them


Oh great Unconditional Loving Being of the Universe

please grant me the consciousness to experience you

right here right now, in this present moment


Yes, yes, yes transcendental bliss gently breaks me

yes, yes, yes ecstatic weeping crack me wide open

with each and every heavy, sobbing breath


I swim in pure, omnipresent, all-encompassing unconditional love

more gratitude 'tis my reward, how I hunger for more gratitude

here I wait for more gratitude, now I pause for more gratitude


I am blessed, I am blessed, I am blessed

where there's unconditional loves there's humility 

where there's humility there's surrendering


Where there's surrendering there's innocence 

where there's innocence there's calm

where there's calm there's peace 


Where there's peace there's no conflict

where there's no conflict there's no ego

unconditional love's my hope, my dream, my higher power


Unconditional love's selfless, limitless, victorious

unconditional love's the magical manifestation 

of the benevolently creative cosmic energy

You're all those things rolled into one

Musician, artist, leading man

You're all those things right here and now

No fuss, no mess, no other than


You're all those things both good and bad

Chess player, poet, rambling man

You're all those things right to the end

No more, no less, no greater than

If I had it to do over again

which I don't, can't and won't


But if I'm going to fantasy land

stepping into that haze filled room


I'm anti establishment, anti culture

anti tradition and anti government


Yeah, I'm music, art, theatre

and President of the Chess Club
