Next Level #371

By Michael Dagen on January 11, 2024

living lies self harms
ingesting untruth deforms
socializing actors drain 
avoidance a committed dance with pain 

use sniff test who’s in your pool
smells like piss swim somewhere new
whole aisle of diapers for adults 
is it me or something terribly fucked

what are you building this time 
is there drive to heal or just die
either way won’t be big shocker
Truth sides with those growing honor

titled next level whatcha saying
I see through all choosing faking 
rare to find souls climbing ladder
most waste days worshipping matter.

Healed and Whole #370

By Michael Dagen on January 9, 2024

healed and whole from the get go
then thrown to arrogant ignorance 

this how we role bravest old souls
which family’s bullshit best serves us

spending ones’s life unpacking traumatized plight
please teach kids nature of realm

chance at free will temptation test mill
tiny fraction survive self made hell

don’t fear fainting hearts love’s penetrating darts
many often choose learning discernment  

never destiny pain result going wrong way
serving Truth brightens our days

pledge this new norm forget outworn scorn 
let’s model sane examples for children 

life is a gift gratitude prayed wish 
may you find peace amongst madness.

Pluto in Aquarius #369

By Michael Dagen on January 9, 2024

born with Pluto in Aquarius 
how long til' these children liberate us

with wild human nature
awakened from pacified failure

what might reality be like
not traumatizing kids day and night

poison fed meals
injecting sickening needles

imagine family raised in Truth
pray gratitude to God daily

vision as fantasy it seems
stumbling drunk out of Pisces

standing on our heads so long
nearly everything 'known' upside down

fascinating fiction obscene
detach life from unholy corrupting machine.

Baby Monks #367

By Michael Dagen on December 31, 2023

News flash devils overran heaven 
who let viscous vampires in
shadow side of Unconditional Love
no one not welcome where self undoing is done

please show bright side o' fallen world
who shall save us from tantalizing horror 
how to cut cords end life support
for blood sucking training wheels out worn

think of Amish and wealthy
play long game start with family
leaving books poems and songs around
create healthy baby monks that know up from down

living lies exhaustingly deadly
waste of compassion treating poison friendly
at year's end make this pledge
witness stupid don't be it.

Contrast #366

By Michael Dagen on December 29, 2023

self will doesn’t last
past ego’s death  
fake the math
until escape hatch mapped

my roll disturbs
playful sober hermit 
shooting darts at herd
ones not buying absurd

loose our leash 
poison as treats
tired trained sheep
blah blah bleak 

an illuminated line 
green grass other side 
this day stop lying 
reach out when leaping finally.

Hell Freezes #365

No Rules Reunion #364

By Michael Dagen on December 16, 2023

Incorruptible Everlasting Love
created place to know family

original intent; a harmonious heaven
where freewill beings loved and supported each other
while striving to reach their highest potential

not long after spiritual children arrived
it became apparent that Love's Gesture
must adapt to a hellish reality taking shape

having access to total freedom of imagination
many are corrupted by temptation
disregarding rules of harmony
in pursuit of self interest

acting like they own this place
the majority turn to debauchery
defiling and polluting themselves
in addition to everything in sight
aiming to plunder
this gifted playground turned inverted

most never consider purpose of life
wasting creativity on twisted stories
promoting meaninglessness of existence
justifying a tradition of manufactured madness

only those who prove their worth
by expressing sincere gratitude
rejecting what is false
with desire to know Truth
will be invited to the next family reunion.

Blackout #363

By Michael Dagen on December 14, 2023

watching programs hearing reruns
unconscious patterns American doldrums

one big lying experiment 
how fat and tired will the populace get

parasitic psychotic unholy foundation
where life is plundered twisted nation 

symbol changed from phoenix to eagle
scavenger bird of prey for real 

international banker built house of cards 
drugged dealers push blackout hard 

arrogant evil always fails 
tides are turning set your sails 

breakaway daily from poisoned pastime
corrupted senses cannot guide 

exciting times what comes next 
empire ends witness it.

In Between #362

By Michael Dagen on December 13, 2023

somewhere in between 
illusion and forgotten dreams
find quite center 
where all things maybe
still might be

I guess we’ll see 
what stands the test
who survives their quest 
let's map this best
while growing hair on chest 
fear a proliferating pest 
fed from past years’ mess
we’re beaten by laziness

responsible eye beholder  
chance to use lump on shoulders 
course correct time of disorder.

First 2 Know #361

By Michael Dagen on December 7, 2023

my Russian bride arrives next week
order placed Black Friday shopping spree
Putin threw in free shipping
something about Chechnyan rebel prisoner release 
sounds like my kinda woman
an ally to help Todd County revolution 
this beauty’s 6 foot I’m 6’4”
just right kissing height twin towers allured 
can’t beat 16 month guarantee 
she even comes with vodka still I don’t drink
it’s like loving a sexy money tree
could be best marriage yet wait and see 
how to communicate shadow triggers when they arise 
language barrier may surprise
or not eyes say it all
are you angry sad Russian doll.

Temple Experience #357

By Michael Dagen on December 1, 2023

moping round moat 
snowless barren ski slope 
sissy winter so far geez 
driest cold boneyard seen 
weather mod show off plan 
designers tinker arrogant hand 

no one comes knocking much
since Truth allied Incorruptibility touched

gifting this hunky monk 
breath not used saved and sung
temple experience working play
life as playground find your mates
watching others join crusade
same old playbook dialectic fake

being moved by flickering screens
makes one weak out of body.

Sparrow Feeder #355

By Michael Dagen on November 21, 2023

sparrow feeder blue jay seer
flocks of fowl can't be trusted
 
when walking alone tripped by stone 
awaken before birds pick your bones

forgive grave image forget folly missteps 
nature cleans up corpse buffets

gross you might say I spy elegance at play 
same for our bodies that move us

microbes are friends until bitter end
fill organs full of toxins they'll go nuts 

grasp this bad joke swallowing poison down throat 
while blaming germs for sickness scapegoat

living life as lie creates consequence oh my
stupidity a broadcast contagious disease 

grownups know when to admit swindle fix in 
humans time to rise up from knees.

Truth Will Decide #354

By Michael Dagen on November 19, 2023

cracks in the nonsense 
crumbling concepts
organized crime
arrogance overtime
what should be done
jettison wrong
choices made
consent how we’re played
freewill a thing
in fact everything
reason we’re here
test our worth dear
align with lies
annihilation time
nowhere to hide
Truth decides.

Masochist Dance #353

By Michael Dagen on November 17, 2023

dance of masochism 
spiraling dead love spin
floorboards rotten lost respect
walk the plank jump shipwreck
sad songs played sinking deck
house of cards fiction fest

chasm opens former hurts
treasure hidden under dirt
exorcise self or stay possessed
ego’s wish to save face yet

clown car spills counselors
psych actors pill pushers
killer healthcare cuttings drugged
poison suppresses healing duh

life too short to live a lie
time plum ripe give truth a try.

Magical Other #352

By Michael Dagen on November 15, 2023

poems piling up outside chrysalis cave
bottles of messages await rebirth gaze

forgive pushy persistent ‘pam’ like flirtation
taste of heaven wrecks ability patience

focused now finishing pollinator garden
once emerged please land beauty in backyard

promising not to net you with shiny round ring
16 month waiting period before bending on knee

rule of thumb past mistakes know best
what evolves overtime spent in fiery love nest

vision quest picture matching magical other
longevity companion through life’s journey down under

who shall be there at last bedside breath
what ally inspires effort to delay eventual end

two mirrored candles light up living room
how bright will you be once free from cocoon.

Thanks Decay #351

By Michael Dagen on November 11, 2023

under cloudy covered days
reflecting years past amazed
truthful choices made with gratitude
solo sailing tests every part of you

opportunity provider mission here
open door enter seers
lonely times when wishing different
patience my date by candle lit dinner

emptied closet cleared out drawers
making room long partnership yearned
embracing selective picky ways
taste of heaven causes lasting change

owned myself through the thickening
not many left still mask wearing
gifts galore sprout from compost
thanks decay for making life grow.
