Poetry for the Inner Ear

  coarse hands of   filthy oppressor unable to violate holy temple transgressors shall perish prayers and incense heart altar worship peace and plenty await us

  fostered by patience and temperance much loved by doves and sheep prophet unafraid of mean people applying heart unto god’s word and ears to heavenly melodies both night and day

  temperate and happy defending the poor and fatherless destiny severe unable to afflict the virtuous working for salvation we flourish floods powerless to overflow us giving thanks unto god we shall brave all danger

  tooth and claw struggle for selfish motive the wicked shall fall down as temptation ceases angels’ warmest welcome god’s great blessings come to us

  devil’s conspiracy trick more and more nuclear warheads snares of death endanger civilization itself   enduring the present tribulation medicine escalates malady faith in almighty creator will find a way

  fearing god our shield really believing in his mercy we tread down devils barbarism of centuries not acceptable to   god without remorse new life impossible

  angels preserve the humble sending the message to people void of understanding   adhering to love my adorable friend again and again diving into noble truth

  spreading   love and peace everywhere taking every joy that gentleness can give quest for mercy seat struggle not over unafraid of dungeon transgressor angels will protect the righteous

  'Jug Jug' to dirty ears T. S. Eliot screaming woman dragged into bush raped and killed inward depravity various cheats still angel helps pious soul

  the righteous need not fear hopeless situation unsolvable problem global conspiracy to destroy earth evil cannot trample over the virtuous divine intervention will happen

  on a small pretext nuclear war may begin hope god will have mercy on us dante and virgil ascend   hill of salvation all creation is affected

  unless we live mod promise of world peace is a falsehood new life possible with pacifism spreading wings with meditation of my heart god will teach me everything

  thanks to merciful creator such joyous gifts meadow and gentle breeze nothing to say but grateful and ever grateful   inmost thoughts hoping for good favor from god aware of sorrowful fate

  devil roars again in a time of war escaping toward cheerful birds a troop of villains atomic conflict imminent humble hermit praying for peace

  suspicions then armies swear like thunder quest of most commendable truthful power hunger and deep craving for enlightenment falling nine time and gets up thanking the lord who heals praying and faith altering karma

    taking every joy that gentleness can give affection better than altar of incense blessings abound whenever we do acts of kindness spreading love everywhere

Diwali and Vanities   we were waiting for festival of light great day of  luminations symphony our new life in nerve centers in the past god spoke to singing birds and roses vanities are false from the beginning  

 The Great Gloom and Truth gates of hell merciless inhumanity of   devil nuclear war is the ultimate evil only   these truths remain faith, love and patience the fruit of god is goodness and kindness

  spreading   more and more weapons destructive and senseless violating harmony of   our planet is dangerous   vain efforts to be superpower with greed and ambition wild ship will flounder us in the boundless abyss

  amid furious storm not walking away from threat of violence quietly learning to let go   remembering   proust   when unhappy rearranging   our memory greater chance of survival

  Friendship and Tranquility   no fighting or war only god can give perfect harmony and peace   peaceful existence with all people the pulse of every prayer practicing non-judgment

    now shall we regain paradise helping each other caring for the hungry and homeless   no need to be perfect we need   just to be faithful joys are awaiting us

 Two sacred haiku relying on god’s plan for me singing to him   new song of   faith and joy surely tonight shall see his face     I hope to do whatever you command and walk humbly before you: thanksgiving pleases him most

  dwelling in buddha’s   presence possible by way of pain forgetting our   prejudices I desire more and more of buddha no greater love than bodhidharma feels gazing at the wall no greater love than st francis sermon to birds his little sisters

  for us secret of love act of offering day by day moment by moment   just sitting counting breathing buddha teaching another buddha

  what greater gift than the love of   god: refreshing breeze happy flights amid green bowers dig deeper not for medals dig deeper for scars

  prudence to enjoy favors given shaolin temple fragrance: laughing Buddha   panic of atomic war trepidation and horror: praying father, father, father

  already defeated satan we prayed and prayed again: recognizing friend in need   rose and lamb enjoy the present hour: unaware of beast of prey

  self mortification sharing anguish of other person leading to ultimate reality   wisdom of divine will infinitely better: unmistakable faith

  feeding just one person growing in righteousness: saint of the gutters   melodies of peace and love echoing all over the world: reappearance of a future buddha

  overcoming insatiable craving transition into a new body hearing the voice of laughing Buddha   thunderstorms there are many almighty god’s mercy is more: healing through faith

  quest for immortality in the presence of the fish: ark saving us from the great flood   repenting and moaning beginning of wisdom escaping from eternal doom

  never deceiving with the lips reconciling workers of iniquity: peace offerings   patient of toil the righteous obey will of god: gaining faith and hope

  magic dawn time sits still: so sweet, I wished to visualize god   female monk secret: pray for world peace meditate on compassion

  tribulation endless nourishes the mind: adoring rose with thorn and blood   retreating to the hill angels are there: keeping the earth alive

  may all persons discern zen life style: benefit of doing nothing it is pleasant to thank the almighty: pillar of wisdom

  I close my eyes and listen to the sound of gun violence: better to repay evil with blessing   seizing control of others severe torture and suffering: stuck in limbo

 Sorrow and Happiness P. B. Shelley is quite inspiring in the following lines: The seed ye sow, another reaps; The wealth ye find, another keeps; The robes ye weave, another wears; The arms ye forge, another bears. Sow seed—but let no tyrant reap: Find wealth—let no imposter heap: Weave robes—let not the idle wear: Forge arms—in your defence to bear.  The poor laborers working in factories deserve to get proper rewards for their extremely hard work. The Lord will take pleasure if we help them. Their sorrows get healed if  we support and strengthen them.

  thousands of people vanish every year: road accident disease drug war   so says soldier poet wilfred owen why the clay grew tall: brave martyred young soldier

  total horror present in world: with faith in other persons fresh start of holy era and heavens rejoice   hermit caves and monasteries echo songs of peace and compassion give us hope

  unaware of prophetic truth heart of the proud fond of destruction   dew upon the grass inspiring zen disciple: departing from evil

  I pray for peace the world around the shamed wolf tamed by brotherhood nourishing earth with compassion   out damned spot lady macbeth says the smell of hostile blood haunts and haunts: slaughter for the sake of wild ambition

  blest mansion beyond harm in the city of righteousness: paradise found   phantom of perished soldier such illusion in our memory: furies won’t let us sleep

  trailing unattainable fire led into the marshes: decaying civilization arbitrarily harassed by all we don’t complain: invincible god our only passion

  great wisdom to prize deed more serviceable than sermon: wary of flattering mouth awaiting unfolding of the almighty’s will realizing  his holy command: pure joy arises

  oblivious of predatory devil the virtuous suffer: angels are watching   unwilling to control tear of joy high converse with omnipresent god echoes wandering

  victory to the faithful doers of generous deeds obtain god’s promises shadows of terror depart sunset turns into sunshine: the second coming

  after the storm nice weather almighty god causes this to happen pulling us out of tribulation   down monk’s cheek tears of compassion: killing an innocent person
