Foreseeing
the time has come
for the wilting of the flowers
the drought
the drying up of our rivers
the proliferation of dust
the death of a friend
the season for funerals
as we pretend day by day
that everything is still all right
that poetry still works
we have foreseen all these
i am prepared
like a fish hibernating
inside a cracking mud
i have foreseen
too the coming
of another beginning

Addictive
once you get
to writing poetry,
you become addicted
to the art,
you cannot stop
until you
pop out like
a bud into a
full blown flower
and you know
what is next,
the wilting and
falling but you know
what is next,
the hibernation
of the seed
the drying and
cracking
it is a cycle
but it is so beautiful!

And So Am I To You
drought is here
river beds are drying
plants are wilting
trees are shedding off all leaves
they all look like
skeletons and skulls
there are dusts everywhere
roaming clinging leaving
blown by the strong winds
from the desert
please make the rain
bursting
water the earth
cracking
fill in the gaps
and the holes
shower this thirst
fill this hunger
give back life....

A Sprout For A New Season
the drought dries the land
there is no rain coming yet
the grasses wilted
and the soil turns to dust
the winds are blowing
sadly
somehow the miracle comes
with running water
along the dikes of hope
and then the first seed of grass
sprouts
its bud looks around
gives a smile
to the cloud
and then sings the beginning
of a new season

Faithful Till The End
in the beginning vision
there was vision
insight seen in heartfelt
moments eureka
future culture shock
foreseen global suicidal
rip off cash grab run
wake up call implosion

godhead values dissipating
upheld by one coming
before time on line at crisis point
flux vision proven in
beginning there was heart vision

Uncertainty Principle
How can anyone call the Bible code evil
when it seems all possible futures were
foreseen and we are free to choose any-
one among them
When there is not just one real but many
possible futures, when the Talmud states
everything is foreseen AND freedom of
action is given
The code is a warning - not a prediction -
what we do determines the outcome, and
most wonderful, Israel warned by the code
of atomic attack
Prevented it being on alert at the time of
danger in 1996: anyone denigrating the code
citing religious grounds has no idea what
quantum physics is
Why the Uncertainty Principle is applicable
and clearly does not realise that Israel and
the world were saved from total nuclear
disaster - at least
They keep the Pharisee cult of white-washed
tombstones alive - good for them!

Nicolson,1997 -

Foresight
With open arms
I'll be held down by the Spirit of God
I refuse to turn away
By the world and its lies
Everlasting words like water flows through my heart
As the wisdom runs deep within Foreseen through my Savior
The complication has been done
With wisdom and truth inside
No reflections from the past will come
And there will be no misconception
That would turn my faith away when I'm with You
Life the endless maze will not be so narrow
Soon time will not have to wait
For soon I will go against what awaits me
With open arms I'll be held down by the Spirit of God
I refuse to turn away
By the world and its lies
Everlasting words like water flows through my heart
As the wisdom runs deep within Foreseen through my Savior
The complication has been done With wisdom and truth inside
No reflections from the past will come
And there will be no misconception
That would turn my faith away when I'm with You
I will lift up my spirit to be with You.

{A Wind of Change} (song lyrics)
A wind of change is coming.
This has been foreseen.
A wind of change is coming.
Soon it will be seen.
For if men are men,
and not mer mice.
Will stand our ground,
in this noble fight.
March around with flags held high.
Embrace the change
as it roles on by.
Won't stop it,
can't stop us.
You're eyes closed.
We see light.
A wind of change is coming.
As we steady on.
A wind of change is coming.
To this we will belong.
Can't kick us down,
can't pick a fight.
Will hold our own,
with all our might.
Where here where there
where every where.
Strengthened by the change,
nothing can compare.
Not alone,
change is life.
You lecture,
now we strike.
A wind of change is coming.
Clouds begin to clear.
A wind of change is coming.
Much like a snarling steer.
This noble fight,
now seems so right.
We've tested time,
and persevered.
Though hated, shunned,
and held in fear.
Carpe Diem is what will cheer.
It is time,
we won't die.
It's our right,
to live life.

Back To The River Of Beli
The rivers of belief
(curly m.c./david fairstein)
Take me back to the rivers of belief
Take me back to the rivers of belief
My friend
I look inside my heart
I look inside my soul
I promise you
I will return
And when the lamb opened the seventh seal
Silence covered the sky
Take me back to the rivers of belief
Take me back to the rivers of belief
My friend
I look inside my heart
I look inside my soul
Im reaching out for you
Lets hope one day
Well rest in peace
On my rivers of belief

Brown Grass: Doom
brown grass, no signs of rain,
ripe grains of rice spreading on the ground
the dust reigns like triumphant ant
soldiers, the sun is up, the earth is heated,
the leaves are shedding, the rocks are cracking,
drought comes and stays for months,
under a cave, a dog rests,
smelling death.

A New Season
i welcome the new season
when i do not like to do the usual things i do,
and they look for me
on places they always see me
the lecture room is full but i will not be there
my cell phone rings but i will not answer
i turn everything off
it is a new season of my life
for them to see me die outside
for me to make life anew inside
away from the crowd
into the solitude of my soul
into the calm pond
lotus like i sit
seeking myself, long lost, and weary
molting like a snake, in hibernation, like a mud fish
hiding its head on mud
cracking soil in summer
till the next rain.

I Like To Think That All These Are But A Game Of Words
that is the impression from the beginning
when i started to scribble
word, and more words, i assured her that they do not
mean anything at all just
words, and words and more words
that even a sunflower wilting and spreading all the seed on her feet
are nothing too but words and more words
nothing to grow nothing to expect like a sprouting something
thus my loneliness, i again assure here, is nothing but a word
my way of taking solitude on the other side to save myself
is another word, and she of course, did not believe me saying
there is more to these words, there is fire in them and i see you burning
there is the sun inside them and the letters glow and the
there is smoke rising from the heads of vowels
from the nonspeaking consonants
i keep hiding the flowers
i bury those that are alive in the silence of my pretensions
until one day she grips me like she is a knife wanting to stab me
and then she stabbed me right in my throat and there i bleed
words, words, and more words coming from the slit
bloody words, and she was convinced, until death, ... and then i vanish.

The fish of the season
The fish of the season
Coming into existence
The boat in the pool
The two sides of a flower
I grasp the splendid bow
And ride the stern of the boat
The moon goddess comes with a whisper
The moon-disk like tarnish sliver
The coming forth, the walking
From her abode
that the fish of season
Has fled the nets that
Take its misfortune
I was born free
So I know what
The fish is swimming for
Up stream pass Wisconsin boys
With baseball bats
Knee deep they knocks
The fishes out of the water.
