Loving Curious Intense Mostly Kind by God's Grace!
By Da Bai Xin

{moi}


Sample:

1
ROLLS THE TERROR IN
ON BIG
THUNDER FEET

2
The rumors of Light
Run like tendrils
Through the dark underbrush.

3
Light calls to light
In the darkening night
Few take the call

4
Kindness has vanished
Along the alleys of life
As cruelty is exalted.

5
The Old Lusty Enslavements
Heralded as New
Crept in on painted tip-toes

10
The skeletons decked in
Tinsel & lights
Danced down, down the street.

12
Love swoops down
Lifting the crushed
To Wholeness

20
For the children they said.
For the children indeed.
Stacks & stacks of them.

21
A more modest proposal
From the immodest oligarchy
A baby in every pot.

78
Kiss me here Kiss me there
Wiggle this; wiggle that.
What's your name?

94
Beside the still waters
Soaking in His heart
Becoming His reflection.

100
The valley of the
Shadow of Death
Has become a freeway.

103
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue confess
Light wins

108
You deserve it! Buy it!
Pans the media
Death by shallowness

119
Hell's hollow haughtiness
Called & strutted
Until the lightening struck

161
Every tap of the little drummer boy
Opened a sink-hole garbage chute to
Hell for the dark lord's troops.

167
Massive Motherships,
Sub-atomic atomizers
And Particle beam disintegrators
Were no match for a child's prayer

{Thanks for reading this far. BTW, I love feedback.}

As a collection, an impressive body of work. I found most to be good, but I do have my favorites:

5 - sublime - #1 to me
21 - devastating
78 - genius
100- gut punch
108 - clever - penetrating
119 - insightful

These deserve a broader audience.

THANKS TONS for your kind reply and thoughtful, perceptive comments.

Let me check those #'s . . .

Given your preference for #5, you might like #38, #41:

41
Bouncy-Bouncy
Inflated neon bazoobies
On hollow parade

#21--I had to nod somehow to Swift's treatise A More Modest Proposal.
I still like #20.

I don't do well at giving them a broader audience. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
