It's a big flash of all these things and whatever you take out of that statement's one statement, one mind, one statement, one act, one show, and all the songs are one.

A Poem Is A Play In Mood
A poem is a play in mood
A possible position in feeling
An exercise in trying out one's thought
In another direction-
A poem is not the single final statement of all one feels
But only one statement of one possibility one might feel -
A poem is a play in mood
And a game of the mind
And a possibility -
I play these lines down now
As if this statement too were a game
Which means far less and far more
Than its own meaning can seem.

A Sad Statement
it's a sad statement
on the 'land of the free',
when the fights at Wal-Marts
during black Friday rushes,
received more news coverage
than the abuse of those protesting
for the rights of America's workers....
a sad statement.....
enough said!

Yesterday NPR fired me for telling the truth. The truth is that I worry when I am getting on an airplane and see people dressed in garb that identifies them first and foremost as Muslims. This is not a bigoted statement. It is a statement of my feelings, my fears after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 by radical Muslims.

Statement of Fact
I have been stating a fact,
I have been stating that oil is rife
In a country like ours, rising above the rest
Of the world.
The petroleum has conquered and I can save it.
What to tell? What does distinguish it from beer?
Beer has best properties and wine is a speciality.
We are driving with our hoods on,
But it is statement after statement
On someone’s list.
I have not speeded or driven or maddened.
Rather my peace has shrivelled from disaster
And that is mad.

The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.

Mental Therapy
The following statement is true:
The previous statement is false.
I am torn and I am tossed,
Because I loved my mother
And hated my father
(One or the other) .
Every day I dread
Lie awake in bed):
Every night is a vigil,
For sleep is impossible.
He turns in the chair and says,
'We have to dig deeply into this.'
Psychology is to me vistigial,
Dream of reality, not physical,
Product of soothsayers who say no sooth.
Long in the tooth, they tell me
What I should examine;
But there is a famine:
A lack of truth, a paucity of wisdom.
I don't belong in their kingdom.
I think I'll go out for a smoke.

Statement Crisis
Do we have statement crisis?
So much stress and word emphasis,
Surely to deepen in days to come,
Not always you will find welcome,
Careful preparation and final statement,
Seconds after sorry and lament,
Asking excuse for “no more comment”
Is it the way to offer treatment?
Immediately rise and quick to react,
Retracing steps and fails to act,
What is worrying as matter of fact?
Lack of will power or clever tact,
We will teach a lesson and not sit idle,
Never have we threatened or affairs meddle,
Right path on which to paddle,
Showing apathy later on and not able,
No one can force or exert pressure,
Words may be heavy but we always assure,
Not knowing what we are speaking for sure,
This is lacuna, for which we have no cure,
We have freedom of speech,
No one should come and teach,
No need for any more preach,
We always disregard and breach,
Statement no crisis for humble submission,
After all doesn’t amount guilt admission,
Sometimes tongue may slip as do the season,
No cause of worry for any reasons

Lengthy
A side to length is breathing of words
Then the task of arranging, riding and consulting.
It breaks the head and ached like the statement of Caesar.
A side to length is the period of waiting,
Which is gathered today and forced like the statement I bear.
Long is a moment of waiting and patience I take,
For when I persevere my burden is diminished
And likewise the pressure of the pen has dropped
For the force of the words is great, and my head aches.

The Eleventh Hour
“ an eye for an eye, ” their battle cry
a death row inmate waits to die
nothing left to do but wait
one last hour to contemplate
as rich, old men decide your fate
vigil persists outside the gate
the men in robes deliberate
there’s nothing more they can debate
statement issued, conviction stands
your fate’s in someone else’s hands
the Governor could intervene
but as of yet has not been seen
protesters continue chanting
witnesses have been recanting
saying they had been coerced
their testimony was rehearsed
eleventh hour, a statement read
the prisoner is pronounced dead
proponents let out muffled cheers
supporters breaking down in tears

Say Something
Have you ever gotten tired of hearing,
From those who say...
'I have good intentions.'
As if that statement is up for debate.
If anyone had good intentions,
Wouldn't you think,
Those intentions clearly...
Would be done and not mentioned?
It's like someone who has an expectation.
And the rising of excitement,
That teases with anticipation.
A frustration enters,
When disappointment arrives.
And here it is...
Excuses and lies!
Have you ever gotten tired of hearing,
From those who say...
'I have good intentions.'
As if that statement is up for debate.
And you are left sitting to wonder,
Between hesitation and comments to make.
But your lips remain sealed.
However...
Your eyes are not connected,
To an expected acceptance of your patience.
'You look as if you can kill me!
Say something.
I meant to call you.
You know that.
Say something.
Say 'something'...
Anything! '

I was very careful to send Mr. Roosevelt every few days a statement of our casualties. I tried to keep before him all the time the casualty results because you get hardened to these things and you have to be very careful to keep them always in the forefront of your mind.
