if jam

[judih]

if jam be poetry
then let the words stand, sit, lie where they may
rhythm has its own agenda
channeling the forces that swim through the night

[the mingo]

the windows on my old car
squeal going up & down like
fingernails dragged over blackboard
drives everyone crazy they make faces
but I love it -
I night thru the swim going up
and down
and if.

I go if.

[sonofthesun]

in this light
my thoughts lie prostrate
unknowing if i have done right
in this world of humanities questionable
disease riddled way of doing things
oh dead zones, oh animals in cages
glad my moms not in one
glad my moms not in one
yeah
glad my moms not in one
just glad my moms not in one
but i cant predict the future

[judih]

if my mom were in one
if she were
i'd have to get her out
underground tunnelling
or sawing off bars
freedom's just another word
for no more cages

[sonofthesun]

so many dead
mothers sons daughters and friends
is it possible to win
a needless exercise
perpetrated by criminals
of the executive
reverse parameters
need be enacted
pay for your mistakes
when millions must suffer from
your selfish myopic decisions
you are not above the universal law
bow and be judged
your god shall turn his back
you are worthless
you are worse than that wich you fight
you perpetuate pain and nightmares
war is never a solution
only the inocent suffer

[judih]

innocent suffer
guilty suffer
we all suffer
fear is not a friend of mine
sweet young boys in uniforms
not In this year
back to jeans in backyards
back, boy
down, army
couldn't we just share some downtime?

[sonofthesun]

ill smile with you
or anyone for that matter
we can all know each other
without someone elses past
there is present pain
but it can and will be worked through
know the children are dependent upon this
let us
know
the child does not deserve the hate
all games are fun until adults start playing
why did mishna not come home
she got caught in an adults game of fun
only the innocent suffer

[sonofthesun]

the name just came to me
how could i know
as a christian by birth
it is the law laid down
i am but a prospector
i am a pawn of the inevitable
i am a piece of the unwitting

[sonofthesun]

know that i speak truth
i am not a child of mispeak
that is not apart of my creation
i am but a piece of the infinite
as important but not more than
anything else
know me revile me
do what you will
i must be as i am

[sonofthesun]

mishna came to me
in that it speaks volumes
i have never had any teachings
do you know of anyone in virginia that
might elucidate the teachings for me
yes i know
but for that to come unbidden seams
fortuitous or some such
strange if only...
i didnt have ein soph tattooed on my arm
why would the talmud enter into my mind
i have no knowledge except of my tattoo
and thats just ink

[sonofthesun]

the more i look the more im confused

[judih]

if you have the time
i'm listening to mind-fulness

my computer is 18th century fuedal lord like
am interested but am more of an in person type guy
just curious though about the mishna
and how it just appeared and made itself
the name of the lost within my poem
strange how it came about with you a person
living in the mecca of Judaism

[judih]

glad to spark a question, sonofhesun
ask around, sense your senses
if you look, you will find
