ZEN, YIN then SIN - Connoted Collection of Nos. 11, 36-43

Most likely to be published later this spring of 2018, my 10th book currently entitled; 100 Proems & Poems on the HUMAN ABILITY to REASON, HUMAN RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. The following will probably be included upon further editing, and front cover below merely a working version....

ZEN, YIN then SIN - Connoted Collection of Nos. 11, 36-43

Fast and pray, prostrate low in sackcloth then ash

Self-lashing too, resisting apostate for socio-zen, alas

Rejoice in gray garments, immerse in mediocrity

Cleanse in liturgical absurdity, christen in pomposity

---

His worst, headfirst seemingly, inescapably inclined

Her outburst, terse or not, side-pierced albeit sublime

Personalities fraught, begrimed, yet reason omnipresent

Ever-empirical-izing it’s zen, oft mistaken as quiescent

---

Sin; to pretend nature liken to some preferred zen

Conjured per the illogic, resultantly a perverted yin

As cheap gin gifted as a dirty martini, madly missing

The empirical yang, else slang as emoted partiality

---

Sin; to contend humanity as benevolent community

Conjuring duty to it (and them) per writ and authority

Ascendancy by assumption, primacy on presumption

O the few or many rule as any are fooled by titillation

---

Sin; to blend inconsistencies, summed liken augends

By finagled Carrick-bends for coherency as penned

Hence inked in poli-hymns, in sync with socio-anthems

So pearls for Rome and mob, else their egotist tantrums

---

Sin; to pretend and portend, then apprehend to expend

Truly to distend, duly to extend hence verily to transcend

Absolutism to relativism per empiricism to neo-polytheism 

Rationalism to eroticism by individualism to pop-pugilism

---

Sin; to defend limitlessly with offending voracity

While advocating unashamedly per fabricated veracity

Digressing to religious might as well progressive rights

Pachyderm'ing and Equus 'ing, smiting all as Canaanites

---

Sin; cheapening Eden's garden to Romanesque fantasia

Duly an aphasia, and truth annihilated like euthanasia

Wholly, brains washed snowy white per Utopian stanzas

Sung in compulsory jargon; a lovely toxic vox humana

---

Sin; the mob daubed then smeared in mod black-n-green

A dragon-queen, preened in lace disgraced o’er satin sheen

Betwixt and between, her many isms, the gods so worshipped

Myths spewed, skewed as pith sensually scripted or quipped

---

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
