Exit Stage Right #218

By Michael Dagen on August 2, 2022

“Collage to Infinity” by Mariano Peccinetti
not ball 
or flat plane
realms are spiritual
deception graduation test
boring old blind ways
can you see shadow mountain yet
pretend playmates proliferate escape
so be it
sands shift anew
what will you choose
to hold onto
exit stage right
All always within sight
burn broadcasted beliefs
copy paste humility
let prayer guide thee.

Modern Uprising #217

By Michael Dagen on July 30, 2022

What does modern uprising look like
masked artists just don't seem right

where does world economic form get their hair done
barbers unite scalp shave then run

whatever happened trucker convoy in America
poisoned at cracker barrel or cinnamon bun lay over

how were we convinced food comes from box stores
weeds in yard scream out in horror

what if oil was used only for gas 
skip pharmaceuticals all other plastics be damned  

who's dumb enough to wanna tax their own breath
propaganda suppository stuck way up there I guess 

why would voting this time be different
dipshit paradise two party system 

come off it kids kick start your soul
stop proliferating world as unholy shit show.

Punter No More #216

By Michael Dagen on July 29, 2022

Once upon a time men lost their minds women too
what to do what to do what to do achoo
with no Source connection we fall keep falling through 

cracked nut world wounded limp blind
wasted rounds searching keep searching to find
maybe this maybe that maybe him maybe her
who what where is right kind of savior

generations on and on and on in this way
steered queer by propaganda day after corruption day
until finally one says enough please holy shit
look how we've been such great big idiots

for real can you handle owning the shame
humans are wild but act so damn tame
out of touch with nature's wondrous balance
as if machines in service to madness

enough is enough here hold the barrel
let's take turns shooting parts too worthless to handle
I'll own my bullshit if you own up yours
target practice today tomorrow start taking score.

Purgatorium #215

By Michael Dagen on July 24, 2022

Siegfried Zademack “Fegefeuer (Purgatorium)”
Pain is personal 
opening stitched wounds galore
Jason Molina songs on the dance floor
curious how love predates war
as if we can't see it coming
ending follows beginning always
avoidance slaps truth back under
like a wish cracked dish glass splinters
barefoot walk on water hot coal fire
miles of smiles forgotten flowers
sweetness turns bitter once knot gives
so damn hard body residing
forget me not this time babe
all signs point up down sideways
caution caregivers I'm earth air
songwriters swan dive despair.

Sure Wings Can Fly #214

By Michael Dagen on July 21, 2022

Red Goddess by Nona Limmen
Body life blur sin fest for sure 
perception as prison
poison in fashion 
sickness result
business don't pout 
nuts on short bus
sigh lazy us
stowaway no more 
swim to the shore
conscious on land
devise breakout plan
hole in the sky
sure wings can fly
up up away
start flapping today
with Truth we ascend 
without just pretend 
tired old chains
a bore so they say
perpetual plantation
designer blind nation
cookie is crumbling
fast if you're hungry 
avoidance time ending
know this stop mending 
pass through the night
from dark age to light.

Likes of You #213

By Michael Dagen on July 16, 2022

William Blake “Temptation of Eve”
Know inner Eve temptation queen
lovely womb receptivity 
devourer of inspiration seed

without balance we have no chance
to find wholeness two halves must dance
awkward steps who takes the lead
rhythm found in Nature's weave 

if ignored or worse cast out
one will search with vainly doubt
for lacking half externally
forever lost in lonesome phony  

this contradicting catch is true
love must radiate all sides of you
before holy union appears 
walk alone map all the tears
check back with me in 12 long years.

Great Abyss #212

By Michael Dagen on July 14, 2022

The Doors of Perception by Diego Andrade
great abyss step on in
one way ticket no destination
this jarring journey solo ride
besides all demons found inside

idle hands for slapping things
like self falling back to sleep
every temptation comforting
once you know what not to be

mesmerized by earthly pleasures
idolizing manmade treasures
lusting after just the physical
leaves us duped easily malleable

claim your role spiritual warrior
obstacle course laid right before us
as sliver of infinite
never forget this gift you're living.

Widows Peek #211

By Michael Dagen on July 11, 2022

Tough titty snake charmer
friend of a friend of a friend
whispering holy laceration 
self inflicted abstinence 
familiar old smelly mud
paid park fee now pass
haunted by hornets nest
short circuit twisted melt
bodiless float down river
gifted pen car crash story
bull and devil butt heads 
all in the family 
wandering roadside flag waver
tight as whip tied rip tide 
funky how we do it dance
this way widows peek.

Deep Shadow Water #210

By Michael Dagen on July 5, 2022

Swedenborg says
even angels get sad
somewhere wrong turn
now retrace your steps 
or maybe path teacher
did you catch detour lesson
avoidance bridge out
cul-de-sac is no heaven
so many fear deep shadow water
monsters grow big 
when we starve them of honor
Bly calls it the long black bag
here will you hold mine
while I sail away
just teasing please don't believe me
ocean of emotion sinking ships are misleading.

Oh Dear #209

By Michael Dagen on July 4, 2022

Awoke in the night
saw nibbling yard deer 
laying by young white cedar
I no longer want to eat her

lucky harborers of beauty
grateful to see
so much surrounding
calm quiet before thunderstorm

dreams don't dare be fair
headaches forsake fortuneteller fate
cloudy manufactured sky
hazy days are numbered

unless confess mess
blind incision mission 
forever pushup test
clown wrinkles under frown.

A Path At Last #208

By Michael Dagen on June 28, 2022

oh inverted world
perverted paradise poisoned pearl
humans' horror show I hurl
tasteless wasteful debasement place
from bountiful beautiful betterment space
this what happens with free will
or grand result of trickery shills
not so fast fake new normal
build back better backwash boneyard
the war to fight found within
nurture goodness reject corruption
own every thought word deed
fill your cup with honor please
a path at last homeward Truth
only way we loosen noose
ignorance is ignoring proof.

Carny Corruption #207

By Michael Dagen on June 27, 2022

This realm a fair 
find midway between night and day here
place to test out blinding tears
mixed with roller coaster smiles dear
step up son take a chance
when I snap my fingers break the trance 
carny knowledge mapped corruption
fallen angel clowns have gumption
what if unholy hypnosis sticks 
like fireflies caught in poison pit
we breed dis-ease when awareness lacks
family traits pass down black bag of crap
will you be one to step off ride
fear be damned unlock love inside
starts with gratitude then burn beliefs
self mountain king or grazing sheep.

Once Bitten Twice Chased #206

By Michael Dagen on June 23, 2022

Saw baby bunny get snagged by cat
wasn't long after till kitty came back 
running around yard chasing seconds
feral feline craves bleeding presents 
winded I am predator surprised
once bitten neck hearing death never nice
robin guards missed chirping alarm
orange bellies slacking drunk on worms 
adversary always stalking prey
nothing evil just showing their way
doesn't mean we have to play
games with goons gone astray 
teaching tools don't trust decay 
corporate poison carrot cake
encouraged sickness world built on fake 
will you chase predator or be prey.

Fantasy Pharmacy #205

By Michael Dagen on June 17, 2022

From this day on all museums dedicated to predators
consecrating teaching tactics used waning days of Pisces
poison charade brigade promoting profoundly sick one world society
drugged arrogant ignorant hooked on spiritual disbelief 
every personal responsibility tested by corporate nanny state
fantasy fake pharmacy built on science based corruption 
mono cropped consciousness never bodes well for us
technology two timing brash brainwash nipple
rotten conformity core no freedom left to whittle
implementation time install backup plan
cut cords that bind corrupt government misinformation sham 
breakaway civilizations will dot the land
bugs as meal worms not for you or me
farm with friends relearn animal husbandry
free medicine grows right in backyard
ready set shuffle deck this place built on cards.

Day in the Life #204

By Michael Dagen on June 11, 2022

Ruby party today
wear something red

mourning doves courting again 
nice how they take turns humping

there is a retired racing dog named nymph 
taking shits in the backyard

burned my ass on metal roof 
whirlybird now spins smoothly 

delta 9 raging over
caught fly and it looked stoned

learned sidereal and vedic systems same
who am I gemini 

gods of water, tears and 11% discount
can there be too much potentilla 

ice cream hand bumps through screen
remember to feed mosquitoes.

Clothes Line Vacation #203

By Michael Dagen on June 9, 2022

I know, I know so many pretty colors
hand sewn by sisters and mothers 
bet it was nice not having to brush teeth
when running late bad breath no worries
easy to hide those smirks and frowns
when seeing super spreaders around town
you've been good at doing "right" thing
in case worshiping authority causes blessing
I admire your dedication all these years
since cv 19 infected scene so weird

but enough is enough with face covering
time has come we need love more loving
that means smiling and kissing with lips
forgot about all this virus business
do some research look up Stefan Lanka 
give mask a clothes line vacation won't ya.

Cunning Folk #202

By Michael Dagen on June 8, 2022

Cunning Folk will never vote
pick a peck of predator politicians
madness lesion lizard legions
evil's real seeded here
in our hearts found faucet fear
turn dial stop bleeding tears
wash away rotten ages
burn all bastion mental cages
truth beknownst to chosen few 
willers look where others snooze
door's unlocked skeleton key
enter gratitude on your knees
own all lonely shadow puppets
projected poison we are culprits 
at last a chance secure heaven
fellow servants won't you be my brethren.
