Artists’ Work #285

By Michael Dagen on January 10, 2023

honey please, why care 
if my guitar shaped like a pear

plucked form the world tree 
grateful you still play with me

sweet smelling sounds our shtick 
wouldn't hurt cracking smile a bit

apple picker so fine
your seductive snicker first choice of mine

I know, I know we could be poor when old
artists' work more important than gold

oh ring, wedding ring that's right
maybe shouldn't mention source of fights

patience dear no pout 
soon Saturn leaves our 2nd house

then we'll book some shows for sure
picture yourself wrapped in furs.

Fire Drip #284

By Michael Dagen on January 9, 2023

sun less than 2000 miles away
spirit beings testing spiritual realm I say
so much let go 
discernment dripping fire sword
knee deep in slayed
headless monsters blow bubbles anyway
polar plunge yeti party
hairy streakers no ice skate tracks
sweet dreams mars retrograde 
horny ornery cockup play 
pick and peck at particular patterns
worthy of renounce  
own the lonely path as found
pressure me sparkling diamond
rejection is protection 
thanks be to God every day.

Wires or Wiser #283

By Michael Dagen on January 7, 2023

Full Cancer moon bright in the night
who needs wires force feeding light
deep breath relief when power goes out
wood fire heat needed less living south
delivery fuel dependent inflation facing nation 
electric vehicles talk back robotic dictation 
first thing Amish do when buying English home
tear out the copper from walls ceiling foe
mental fog lifestyle our lives on a meter
broken branch ice fall brings city to freezer
many knocked down chimneys of freedom
outdoor boiler pumps need AC can you see yet
somehow we long for every single challenge
convenience creates weakness consumer expansion 
thrive time survive while becoming wiser
remember old ways proven by ancestors.

R.A.I.N. #282

By Michael Dagen on January 4, 2023

'rear all in nonsense' has taken its toll 
thunderstorm ignorance rains down from below

while madness and gladness do in fact rhyme
connection stops there never toe insanity line

barraging poisons drench mind body spirit
welcome to earth can you hear see or feel it

traumatized children become teachers of ruse
conformity prison guards open air zoo

this picture sums up transition from Pisces 
witnessing water sign where deception is mighty

hamster wheel zodiac known as sky clock
clicks age of Aquarius revolt won't be a shock

our next challenge for 2000 years
heart is in detriment when water bearer steers 

don't be an airhead ditch binary thinking
find Truth in middle ground where love bridges being.

Guidance Line #281

By Michael Dagen on January 3, 2023

material doesn't really matter
when focus of whole life disaster 
tricky this place no lore
corruption realm hijacks souls
battleground for spiritual war
are you warrior or avoidance sore
worth proven by free will choices
we map mistakes suffer loses
only potential route towards Truth
many blindly repeat patterned ruse
Guidance line always at hand
for those who surrender selfish plans
with first step acknowledge weakness 
then prayers of gratitude thanks for patience 
our hike is steep but we're never alone
destination Everlasting Way of Love.

ball for All #280

By Michael Dagen on December 31, 2022

big brother bullies put on notice
people revolt current age Aquarius
 
snitches and sellouts go check yourself
when ship finally sinks you'll swim through hell

propaganda cranked up last 100 years
think tank pushers will drown from fear

great equalizer death of lies
we build anew with Truth this time

what marvels possible minds unleashed
life is dance when not on knees

watch dirty mouth ditch old patterns
speak beautiful worlds our speech matters

claim your power project lovely visions
unplug technocracy's open air prison

eight billion souls here for grand show
a ball for All even in deep snow.

Selfie #279

By Michael Dagen on December 28, 2022

loveliest pictures taken for lovers
moment mapping sine wave platter
hate being so black and white
what happens never happenstance 
to know to dare to will
working on silent part
thanks for listening
blisters strengthen skin 
even sore spots heal
forgiveness fountain of own making
still loose cannon
you know me
hot pepper slicer
rubbing eye then privates
whoops did it again
this a women thing too or just men.

Mountain Due #278

By Michael Dagen on December 25, 2022

Test for everyone
mountain pass must be won
battle of mind
tank filled fantasy primed
delusion losing
great work personal choosing
whispered rebellion 
most ears won't hear heaven sent
planted so grow
through tornados blizzards and snow
remembering way
navigate drifting roadblocks with play
stop predicting future
allow mercurial human nature 
breakthrough at last 
love All as is joy found in this.

Half Way House #277

By Michael Dagen on December 21, 2022

Here at half way point of winter
I keep hammer by furnace blower motor
shouldn't leave home more than an hour
front column mouse gave birth day before last
this litter raises ante 87.5%
deep cold reveals remaining places to seal 
doing my part warming world through gable vents
humid clouds freed like puff magic inflation dragon scent 
deer troll orchard for high bush and virginia creeper berries
bilberry tea helps vision cold hands feet stay merry
reading into fallen watchers lusting after human women
souls of giant offspring become demons when slayed by men
tonight's plan to venture out for longest night
last time performed there sang with ex-wife
music much more moving melodies motored by muse
poems brushed off dandruff shoulder slapping societal taboos.

Church of Earth #276

By Michael Dagen on December 18, 2022

this existence free will offering
so many lifetimes repeat repenting
earth enticing corruptive setting
wrong direction mapped aplenty
Truth is present are you ready
not convenient choice for many
what's to lose but self abuse
automation programed ruse
authenticity autonomy starved
just can't go there fear too strong
responsibility shunned discarded
evil presents dependence bargain 
success attained through buying lies
conformity congregation built on bribed 
materialistic promise never ends well
world focus rings all hell's bells.

See Goats #275

By Michael Dagen on December 17, 2022

Capping every year off right
most goats don't fear depth or height

good luck keeping us caged
we'll head butt your ass in hay

horny you might say... we are
place lips on Pan's flute not too hard

word devils whispered round barn
common jealousy for will powered starved

don't get sad with next Saturn transit
see stern whipping as gift from ringed planet

forever teaching time through restriction 
countering Jupiter's ever gross expansion

exalted Libra house seven relations
Kronos devoured his children don't blame us

fine other signs choose lazy and weak
conveniently cursing the scapegoat indeed.

Season’s Greetings #274

By Michael Dagen on December 16, 2022

Dear new world order-ish oligarchs, hope this letter finds you cuddled and cozy in your secular genderless matching commie pajamas.  There is much to be grateful for here at the end of year 22.  The awakening you've spurred on with that whole cootie masquerade lockdown lunacy the past couple years has been the greatest blessing.  The self empowerment that has resulted from people realizing that taking responsibility for their own health is the only way to prevent and heal from any ailment, is truly a monumental revelation.  We can't thank you enough for outing all of the corrupt institutions and unworthy relations in our lives.   Not a day goes by where we don't prep for your arrogant and evident downfall.  Please know that even though you may currently puppet our governments, the strings are visible and the curtain cull draws near on your tired old fashioned power play.  You have filled the role of malevolent villains very adequately and we just want to thank you for your service.   Godspeed with the composting of your souls.  

With Love,

Day Gun

Reach Out #273

By Michael Dagen on December 15, 2022

during dark dreary end of year
emotional overwhelm can draw near
what the hell just happened anyway
maybe your mantra every day
I've mapped this mental mountain well
many times worn out tread mill
no longer do I limp through calendar's death
happy reporting my health is present
so here's a rope take when needed
reach out if slipping feeling
maybe we'll unpack gift real time 
as always there's a message hiding
in every single pattern meaning
subconscious projection persistent screaming
blind we are self camouflage 
takes friends to show our shadow parts.

Make Your Fate #272

By Michael Dagen on December 14, 2022

step on up this is it
our choice chance make a switch
wolves run scared left in pack
won't be long they'll be back
past two years we've owned black sheep
pointing out what blind can't see
soon time will come when things are clear
for doubled down avoidance dears
how to walk steep narrow path
between duality heart centered laugh
at all the many mapped mistakes
we are humans growth can't fake
nothing lost watch death of lies
tis season for Truth to rise
make your fate participate 
co-create better days.

In-Sects #271

By Michael Dagen on December 12, 2022

Con-sens-us is less-on
real eyes or suffer time
be-lie-if death wish
know weakness with it
in-sects roll call
group think will cull
in-divid-u-al parting
person-al author-it-y
powered r-esp-on-se ability
no more victim men-tally
behave to be had
when facing evil plans
laid out in plain sight
lazy only serves b-light
seek Truth and thrive
i-dent-if-y live.

Home Stretch #270

By Michael Dagen on December 10, 2022

Cuilcagh Boardwalk Trail, Ireland
Are we there yet
place your bets
is this our home stretch
quite a mess
tho strangely perfect
what's so urgent
oh dear Truth part
test for all hearts
when missed self harming
shared falsity not charming
only thing contagious 
conformed minds in cages
with Love I take each step
forgive persistent brashness
please kick my ass the same
if slip up occurs again.
