'the sixties, and' timothy r gates, 2/8/2008
the sixties
one guitarist barely made it in them,
the other near the end of the 20th century;
creativity?
i do remember,
well, either way, I do recall:
free love, free everything,
didn't think we'd make it to 20,or 30
then didn't know what to do.
the sixties, the good ole days?
my Grandfather, born w/in a decade...

'masks worn by all' timothy r g, 2/5/2008 (for friend and reposed brother)
masks, worn by all,
some, few, when they remove theirs - it is still the same, trueness,
guilessness, beauty whispers
tears are a chrism for the unbaptized,
then she moves closer and speaks,
intuitional presence,
'we all come through the flood,
birthed into this space by baptismal
waters, the womb our first...

Pacifism and Cowardice
If one is speaking of the supposed pacifism of some of the peace movements,
then this I would would concur. Yet there is a pacifism that is anything save for cowardice.
usually in history, as well as other stories, called action by nonresistance - Parenthetically,
the notion that the 'just war' theory is 'just' is just as the other, a notion.- These...

WAR is THE ACT OF LEGAL MURDER
the first reality of war: soldiers are taught to 'obey' what they're told to do; they are not taught morality. soldiers are taught to suspend all 'supposed' morality. the 'enemy' is whoever and whatever they are told is or are the enemy. when the soldier fucks up, meaning that someone catches and tells a media person about it,...

persya:
i just noticed your comment on my pictures...
thank you 
thank you 'as i pray' timothy r g, 1/28/2008 (inspired by note to friend)
as i pray,
liturgy surrounds me,
day giving way from evening,
i still pray,
pay, obey;
well, i pray.
and, i'm sure that i pay.
and, obey, no doubt someone,
though i prefer to think
that i only pray,
and that I do not prey.

(Speech link above, video:Martin Luther King's 'I have a Dream' speech.....)
......Martin Luther King had a dream, has a dream, looked ahead of his day into a dream. He spoke at a time, then, when I was nearing a teen, when people of colour still were not permitted to eat, use bathrooms, drink from water fountains, and more, as those of supposed non-coloured people...

poetry without the blog, today, would be merely university publications. poets wrote the greek and roman myths, the norse myths, the spirit stories of our nation's orginal, at least those before '1492,' peoples. CS Lewis used it in Chronicles of Narnia, Tolkien used it too, learning from MCDonald and Chaucer as well as Dante's love story of Beatrice and urequited love. Today, post twentieth century...

'Peace is promised' timothy r gates, 1.06.2008
Peace is promised,
someday on the by and by.
bye, bye
Love is said,
'I love you,'
'God loves you,'
and,
'We love you,'
on the by and by
bye, bye
Peace from above,
peace from outside,
peace,
lion sharing a bed,
serpent saving your head,
eagle soaring your baby to solace.
Peace is promised by others,
someday...

'Mystic Suite' timothy r gates, 1/04/2008 (began in fall of 2007)
what appears to be
is not what it appears,
though it does appear to be;
a dance in the night's fog,
a song in the night's air,
a nightmare transformed into sweet amorous
streams of consciousness,
all to the delight of one who seemed to walk
only in the night;
for he found out...

New Year Lament' timothy r gates, 12/30/2007
Cry, if you will
sob, if you choose
weep, if you dare
not for yesterday
not for tomorrow
not for sometime
now, right now,
here we laugh, cry, chuckle, fart, spit, smile
here we hate and do war, by bigotry or by guns
here we love, our neighbor Cain and Lilith
turn your cheek
turn your face

'Lilith knew all along' timothy r gates, 12/25/2007
as always,
alone she seems,
baby now more important than mother,
goddess still sings his praise,
but so does he hers
the four corners meet
physics and metaphysics,
neither give a damn, or blessed
the hymns of old souls ring true
to new souls too.
into the dark night we arise
finding our own birth,
afresh,
celebrating...
