Poetry
Brothers
by Alexander
Shaumyan Tuesday, October 28, 2003
|
In these magnificent times of reptilian
consciousness when the dinosaurs speak better than we do
with their bones, In this Information Age of
doublespeak and replicated anachronisms, superficial
in its nationalist slogans and the religious fervor of its
constituents, fighting among themselves like Azerbaijanis
and Armenians, Arabs and Israelis, Muslims and Christians,
Caucosoids, Negroids, Mongoloids, but all acting like
androids, biting their heads off like misinformed
amoebas and planarias, filling their void with video sex,
pre-recorded sex messages, inflatable dolls and
hyperextended dildos, in order to form a more perfect
union of sperm and egg, yin and yang, penis and vagina,
licking the boots of decaying patriarchs, yelling vile
obscenities at the onlookers, In these times of
microchips, microwaves and microbrains of artificial
intelligence, In these times of desperate attempts to yell
in the darkness of overexposure and commercialism,
souls dead, voices dead, values dead, all dead,
China's dead, Russia's dead, America's dead, money,
money, money, money, money-- the only currency for
living-- money has no worth in a dead world, Go ahead!
Copyright my poetry, sell the TV rights and the movie
rights to your dead producers, advertise it on the
national and cable networks: THE POETRY BROTHERS ARE
HERE!!! Brother Bob, Brother John, Brother Martin, Brother
Jeff, Brother Alex, Brother Peter, Brother Ed, etc., etc.,
etc., rising up like the staunch oaks of Faith amidst
the cesspool of apathy and banality: POETRY IS DEAD! LONG
LIVE POETRY! The poetry of the soul, the poetry of the
heart, the poetry of the child, the poetry of the flower,
not the poetry of capitalism with its copyrights,
patents, greed, and dollar signs, not the poetry of
Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, Burger King, and McDonald's,
but the pure, unadulterated poetry of the fully human
experience, embracing all the pain and the uncertainty
of its existence on this fragile planet, plagued by
the crocodiles of pollution, there is no monopoly on
truth, no monopoly on love, no monopoly on poetry--
POETRY IS DEAD! LONG LIVE POETRY!

Alex,
A mind that
writes something like THIS, that thinks THIS WAY--NOT just
giving readers a 3-D view, but adding on and taking them in
and out of the view, around it too...THEN you make them step
back to look and actually SEE... you are simply gifted! In
more than one way ;) Images and descriptions--with THAT
message...you take my air and you just steal it, I love it!
Poetry owns your soul mister and it is a pleasure to read it
:) You are not JUST a writer, YOU ARE A POET! A TRUE poet. A
real one. A living one.
Love, Teresa

Awesome write! I like your
style of thinking Alexander! Thank you for your comments
on "The Yawn Spirit" and "Christianity"! I would love to
chat with you on yahoo messenger sometime! I know you
probably do not have it though and that is ok by me. The
chat would be intersting though. You make my mind seek its
boundaries and go a step beyond. Becca |

Fuck,man, this is
FANTABULISTIC!!!
Love you! Love Percy Bysshe Shelley's
DEFENCE (1821).
Poets of the World, Unite FOREVER and
ANON!
I would like to feature you, Alex, in an
upcoming issue of Poetry in Emotion (Canada), but it doesn't
look like I'll have a spot until late 2004 or early 2005, if
that's OK with thee.
I would have to dedicate almost
the entire issue to you alone, you're that controversial and
FUN!
Also, check out my SONNET, "The Runic Tracings"
on my AD, which is smack dab on topic here.
BRAVISSIMO
FELICISSIMO POETA!!!
Richard Vallance, Editor,
Poetry in Emotion.
P.S. if you are interested in
being pubbed, just let me know at:
vallance22.gosympatico.ca
and let me know
whether Fall, 2004 or Winter, 2005 suits you better (actually
the latter date would be easier on me, as I MAY have already
committed myself for most of 4/2004)
If you want in,
you will have plenty of time to send me stuff, but you'd want
to send me something right off, so that I can save it to your
own lil' ole' folder in my Poetry in Emotion folder.
How about THIS poem?
Oh, I forgot, nothing
longer than 40 lines (I cringe at "hoof-and-mouth" disease...
:) :) :) ... except for this 1 (too lazy to count)
:)
:) :)
Richard Vallance, Editor, Poetry in
Emotion (Canada) ISSN 1705-4616
NOTE Other poets on AD
please do not send me unsolicited mss. or poems. I haven't the
time to breathe through my nose to read them.
