Life would be tolerable but for its amusements.

Jovial companions make this dull life tolerable.
When you make a world tolerable for yourself, you make a world tolerable for others.
If those who are the enemies of innocent amusements had the direction of the world, they would take away the spring, and youth, the former from the year, the latter from human life.

Science says 'We must live,' and seeks the means of prolonging, increasing, facilitating and amplifying life, of making it tolerable and acceptable, wisdom says 'We must die,' and seeks how to make us die well.

Cleverness You Wish For Me to Taste
Don't try to cuddle up to me...
Enemy I've known.
Don't believe my tolerance for you...
Is a weakness I condone.
You are just not in my vision.
Or on my agenda to address.
I see how you slither with pretentiousness.
To leave me with perceptions,
You have my goodwill to protect.
And I am to perceive you doing this at your best?
Please!
Your amusements do not delay me!
However...
Your deeds have caused me to wisen.
And keep updated versions,
Of a variety of realities!
Don't try to cuddle up to me...
Enemy I've known.
Don't believe my tolerance for you...
Is a weakness I condone.
You are just not in my vision.
Or on my agenda to address.
I see how you slither with pretentiousness.
To leave me with perceptions,
You have my goodwill to protect.
And I am to perceive you doing this at your best?
Please!
Your amusements do not delay me!
However...
Your deeds have caused me to wisen.
And keep updated versions,
Of a variety of realities!
Like these you are trying,
To test on me lately!
To see if I am awake.
For a cleverness you wish for me to taste!
Please!
Your amusements do not delay me!
Your deeds have caused me to wisen.

Speech of a Man
A sandwich of speech is eaten like one,
As for his being I eat and share the food contained
Just like the life so sweet, so safe, and so loud -
I delve into amusements so big, so larger than life.
The civilised man is a food, and he baked cakes
Of being and logic and sound, his head was effort.
The whole people will rebound from the wall
When this ball is thrown against it.

Let us read and let us dance - two amusements that will never do any harm to the world.
The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.

Corporate Intellects
They come in all sizes.
Those who take cheap shots!
With their lowbrow racist disguises.
To end up saying...
They do not abuse,
With the use of such devices.
Corporate intellects...
Fusing amusements with a seriousness.
Then attempt to explain,
Their lame brain-ness.
To say they are not,
The nasty snots they appear.
Only to confuse actions done...
That are overwhemingly crystal clear.
They have taken positions,
To advance their sick conditions.
And believe it okay...
To portray images displayed.
In a manner to influence,
Convincingly...
Their wicked decadence.
Corporate intellects...
Fusing amusements with a seriousness.
Then attempt to explain,
Their lame brain-ness.
Only to expose...
An insecurity of who they are.
That removes a mask what shows,
To reveal a backfiring...
Of a failed task proposed.
On 'all' fronts of their demented labors.

the tsunami and Basho....
the tsunami comes suddenly
taking away everything along the way
houses, cars, boats, men,
women, children
as though it is a thing so mad
so angry without a mind of its own
exactly the opposite of the poem
of Basho
the one that recreates the life of the
pond
extolling the stillness
the quite
and if there be a little tolerable noise
for sure
it is only that classic splash of
the green frog

Hell is populated with the victims of harmless amusements.
What a pity it is that we have no amusements in England but vice and religion!
