In honor of the 4th here is a historical poem I wrote last year, see if you can pick out the references and the underlying meaning/tone of this write. See you all at the show tonight at 9pmEDT! Bring your independence and shine with us!!



Root of four

Hopper full of ink, boiling spilling
    Over cracked lip
Quick dip of molted feather, sharpen tine
    Scribbling lined parchment
Curled, repeating rolling, flattened again
    Sign and sign again and again
In the dark night of knotted made cabin
    Hidden safe and away
From capitol hill, beady blinking eyes
Peer from powdered horse hair crowns
    Lips too stern, feigning frowns
Breaking smiles, as bodies sprawl for miles and miles
    North to south, south to north
Atlantic tides, crimson diver, floating coats circling
    England’s moat
Bearing an America coat of arms tattered and torn
    Wooden crosses adorn Indian rows
Casting aside bloated beaked crows
    With mottled eyes seeing heaven skies
Clouds do dance and sun breaks trance
    Eclipse the days leaving rorschach dreams
Blown by clotted lips, thick as finger thin
    Pointing the way for the future of the unborn
A new nation proud and blue, standing behind you
    Hand salute and execute the will
Fighting for rights, a clean bill of health
    Filled pockets of wealth
Lurking in shadowed stealth, framed behind
    A foggy pane for future dreams
Read again and again, just always remember when
    The hopper was full of ink, and quill screeched in night
Hidden away from normal man, who foraged the land
    To feed a silent disease of captured hearts
America is bound, never to break, sign away man made fate
    As daylight breaks.

Explication

Explication © 2008 written by Glen Yumang Manese a.k.a. Filipino American Dream Who am I to write about world peace? When so much is built to destroy the meaning. A child is asked what will you be in life? I’ve come to terms that my words speak freely. My mind is clear to take all actions for freedom. Testimony to the verification that I have flaws. A writer to the explication in using I as a whole. In describing the ultimate unification stands at a balance. Though I’m, but one mind with a dosa… Continue

Noting that sound

Noting that sound Some times the clock sings out a tune at 6am though I can’t hear it it clocks the time I really should be heading somewhere gentle though I don’t feel it I sight the note from a thought in a room over in a place where I can’t sense it Some times the mind says something I can’t seem to see though I can’t abide it it thinks the thoughts of a time when I want to wander though I sometimes think it I grant myself the notion to be on the hour, each time though I’m not aware of it e… Continue

one philosophy of a blonde

one philosophy of one blonde knowledge is power {because?} knowledge informs perception. {and that's important because?} perception creates reality. {how?} the process of knowing is a balance between what you know to be true and what you are told is true. {why is that balance important?} the source of the knowledge is to whom the power belongs. {what can you do with that knowledge?} to use another's knowledge allows you to borrow their power and co-creates their reality. {and/or} use your knowl… Continue

Home land nettles

I fight for my territory A pale blue box room Even that’s taken When the guests visit A laptop My bright green bedroom So that’s all I've got Thirty years old Even from time to time I have to accept the occasional violation With gritted teeth And being absent of control My mother even opens my mail Her over protectiveness grates As does her request that I have a shave Secretly mother is lonely Aloofly dismissing any manly affection A horrible first wed My father passing away Gave her mysterious… Continue
