I have been made redundant before and it is a terrible blow; redundant is a rotten word because it makes you think you are useless.

Redundant
We're living in repetition
Content in the same old shtick again
Now the routine's turning to contention;
like a production line going over and over and over
roller coaster.
Now I cannot speak
I lost my voice
I'm spechless and redundant
'Cause I love you's not enough
I'm lost for words.
Choreopgraphed and lack of passion
Prototypes of what we were
Went full circle 'til I'm nauseous
Taken for granted now I waste it
faked it
ate it
now I hate it
Now I cannot speak
I lost my voice
I'm spechless and redundant
'cause I love you's not enough
I'm lost for words.

In Black Despair
In grayish doubt and black despair,
I drafted hymns to the earth and the air,
pretending to joy, although I lacked it.
The age had made lament redundant.
So here's the question -- who can answer it --
Was he a brave man or a hypocrite?

Ode To The Modern Web-Poets
Considering how poetry is seen
by those who read or write within its laws,
I see now that the average is mean,
and hear the constant sharpening of claws.
No noble world of wishes made from love,
can dominate the noodlings on the Net,
while ne'erdowells negate them from above,
thus branding every word they say as, 'wet'.
I've seen the pretty poets fall to tears
in wake of criticism from the crude.
I've watched the old romantics through the years,
reduced to near redundant, by the rude.
And yet for all their vile attempts to stop...
the cream, cannot help rising, to the top.

But when you get to a song, not only do you have to do a vocal melody, you have to write words and not be redundant and make some semblance of a story.

The Innovator
The one elevated to the top spot,
Usually becomes the one...
Who's efforts become devalued.
And an accustomed innovation...
That seems with ease to copy,
Eventually for some gets redundant.
And...
The commonness of it stops.
Or attempts are made to have this blocked.
Although the creativity introduced,
Still produces...
A most effective enduring seductive juice.
No one but the innovator seems prepared to induce.
And this is only appreciated,
By those who have acquired the taste.

You probably have to have redundant levee systems with canals in between them, like the Dutch have, to make sure that incoming water is channeled off to areas where you deal with it rather than have it drown you.

I Thank God
I THANK GOD
I thank God.
Who and what am I to thank God?
God does not need my thanks.
Even my thanks are after all
From God to God.
God thanking God
Seems redundant.
Yet today my son was here
He has been away
He looks very well.
He is so kind to his father-
He is a kind person.
I need to thank God.
Thank God.

You don’t have to earn
If your son is capable
Your earning is redundant.
If you son is culpable
Your earning is plundered.
Why must you then strain yourself
To earn for posterity?

Elysium
I languish through the day
In morbid dissatisfaction of time
Barely working through motions
How the mind has become
Such a terrible thing to waste
I play on once such thought
More often than any other it seems
A thought of a girl
One who I fancy I may love
Yet abstain from telling her such
I question if I know this fate
How my feelings are but finished
I know this beautiful girl is fair
Gently spoken in her manners
And that I hold nothing for her
A thought of love becomes an irritation
Which labours in my concision
Such is that I languish myself
Hour upon morbid hour
Till the day like my thoughts
Become done and redundant

(Philosphy Poem) A Passing
Fun with a redundant pleasure.
Take heed of such measures.
Attention seeking is so unbecoming.
Don't get me wrong, everyone desires it.
But some can do without, while other can not.
To relate, but not demand.
To try understand.
Within reason.
Everything has a flavor and a season.
Some more liked the others.
But as the saying goes.
This too shall come to pass.

I was always cutting dialogue out when we were rehearsing, and when I produced movies, too. I felt that people don't say things in life - they act, they do things. I always wanted my characters doing, rather than saying what they were doing - which was redundant.

Still Life With Burros
A redundant whip in a whipped boy's hand
loudly cracks.
Sway backs are unburdened by little cries
which simpler crickets take to heart.
Their singing legs suddenly still to sighs.

Exploit So Massive
An exploit worth the wait is a massive deed,
Deeds and more deeds await the stranger
Who wears macabre sounds, noises of disgust.
The work is redundant since the horror of moments
Ceases and decreases, like grease has been overpowering.
The hair we wear is like no glaring habit,
It is the head of hair that makes you see further.
My piece of luck has finished due to deeds of redness
And blueness, both are due to blood and the sky at day.

Scapegoat - Minimus Stuck - Fragment Abramic
...continuously caught
as the ram redundant among
thorns, horn pushed, blood
ignored, to come more itself,
or other, to kindred bodies
entangled, sacrificed by
thorn, first born.
I am caught up in the matter.

Compact Dusk
Here at the height of the day night change
The color of the sky is uncertain,
The sky depending in which direction
One's eye strains, each of its swatches a strange
Hue which dies too soon and which makes this hour
Linger in the mind transient as a life,
Whose names once known remain another
Posied-up portrait on our palette knife.
Until even I wonder if one tint
Ever survives the harm of seeming unique
(Evening's intrigue, time's singularity.)
Study for its trace, its placemap, I see
— Redundant as a stopsign in italic—
The face on which my profile leaves no print.

Need of father
It is news
That Linda Evangelista,
The forty one year old Canadian
Catwalk queen has given birth
To a boy and refused to reveal
Who the father of the child is.
Identity of father is redundant.
