Day: December 5, 2017

Will Theresa May become the Joan of Arc of our day? Burning not turning.

It’s nice to know that people in the government are able to refresh themselves with a bit of porn during their work  when Brexit is too much for them let alone Boris Johnson and his pals

But must they not be stupid if they don’t  have a personal tablet or netbook for private views paid for by them on a mobile network and not by us on our government’s computers

It’s the old attraction of the risk

One minute they are reading the DUP’s demands and the next looking at women’s bare breasts.How does that grab you, the voter?
How much more likely they are to mock women… and they’ve got one ready to burn?
Of course, they may be gay and so look at some man’s .woman’s private parts while phoning the Whips! Not to mention borrowing some whips

It makes me sick

 

Sing with one voice

When rotten government  ruins   these Islands
With economics cruel; with evil choice
When time has seeped like butter in hot sand
Then shall not British choirs sing with one voice…….

It’s time to exit Brexit

With   mental ill health, poverty and pain,
Tormenting fears of old and  young unite
Should we not stand with courage, with demands?
With common sense and wisdom, let us  state

It’s time to exit Brexit

When governing politicians harass and make poor
As bankers  meditate in handmade suits
Shall we not hear what the good ask for
And tell the wavering government ,as we shout?

It’s time to exit Brexit

What fearsome, burning God enjoys our lives?      

How softly sweetly, gently flowers pose
Carnation,orchid ,daffodil and rose.
For their intricate petals form a shield
Yet bees with striped force shall make them yield.
Appearances, both natural and contrived,
Mixed with the wiles of human nature thrive.
As knowing not, we pluck the apple rare,
And bite its flesh, with teeth we love to bare.
We too deceive the innocent who pass
Not seeing watchers hid behind the glass.
The windows break, the deep earth quakes;
Seized is the maiden, man her virtue takes.
Beneath the surface, force and fierceness thrive.
What fearsome, burning God enjoys our lives?

Is teaching calculations calculus ?

I spent my adult life in foolish toil
At least it paid the rent and gave me space
Teaching calculus until heads boiled

As for understanding, lose your cool
Infinitely smaller, numbers placed
I spent my adult life in foolish toil

Disappearing just as they beguile
Numbers irritate the mental space.
Games like calculus  force heads  to boil

Yet if we must learn algebra let’s smile
As   neo-liberals lose the human place
I spend my  life in Pascal’s  counterfoils

One by one the  tiny x’s file
Through my dreams  to weave the demons lace
The holes of calculus were over-tiled.

When do we know we have found our place
Will it be in black holes of disgrace?
I spent my adult life in pain encoiled
Neither calculus nor boiling oil.

 

 

 

 

 

Where rose run mad and holly are as one

The inner coil and tangle  of the wild,
Where rose run mad and holly are as one
Ensure that nature’s heart is undefiled

To these depths, the winter bird’s beguiled
Until  the red dawn’s fetched by lowly sun
Through the coil and tangle of the wild.

On the path’s side,  brown-green leaves are piled
A thousand beetles  search for food within
A hidden  space where nature’s undefiled

The cat  is waiting, acting like the mild
Then dancing, hunting, acting  like his kin
At ease in coil and tangle of worlds wild.

The sun is setting, and the night clouds pile
As  lovers kiss, so smiles the holy one,
Living all his natures undefiled.

Now, at last, the darkness has begun
The  trees unmoving shield the riots within
The inner coil and tangle make the wild,.
Is the space for soul still undefiled?

 

 

 

Characters of Classical Mythology

Artemis

Goddess of young women, of virginity, childbirth (yes, both at the same time), Women’s Mysteries, forests and hills, hunting, and, later, the moon (along with Selene). Essentially a liminal goddess who protected women throughout their lives. The Romans equated her with their goddess Diana.

  • Plague Master: She was also the goddess of disease, plague, and sudden death.
    • More so with her nymphs. In his Hymn to Artemis, poet Callimachus asks himself what nymph obtains Artemis’ love and then proceeds to list her favorites.
  • Virgin Power: Was one of the three virgin goddesses, along with Athena and Hestia.
  • Western Zodiac: Traditionally associated with Sagittarius, as the archer.
