Philoetry ... 'Hungering Hurt"

Philoetry - philosophical abstractions in the guise of rhyme. A hybridized mixture of a Haiku, a Limerick, and a Koan.

“Hungering Hurt”

Elegant fiend ... ‘of formative wealth
empire squeal ... ‘conspiracy stealth
Sort-of … ‘sort-out ... as if way to go
lead not … ‘nor follow ... path to “forever know”

Sensation stir ... ‘monger of might
as penance confers ... ‘of luster ‘alight
Wimpy and meek ... ‘tiger … and “torn”
the hunger ... ‘the envy ... the freedom to scorn

Living as must ... ‘unjustly intrigue
‘maddening ruse ... of coercive league
Vox-populi trick ... 'mere opinion of rule
sacrament torture ... ‘upon soap-box … and stool

Ponders no argument ... of vanity plush
war over all ... ‘any-every … till hush
Solitude sharing ... ‘no peace-pipe ... no joke
‘love only somber ... no caressing stoke

Melancholy muck ... ‘the fermenting of the “feel” ... {emotion}
‘inspiring all action ... from passion unto “kneel”
Rest it’s own fortune ... from passing-time scene
ongoing dream … ‘from “if reality” ... wean

Fact-of-matter "spirit" ... at the essence of “stuff”
‘and the graciousness warning ... of viabilities huff ... {pride}
Work & play union ... ‘religious yoga of such
‘offset by ones stolen ... smell, taste & touch ... {fruitive karmic gain}

Balancing wobble ... “as she goes” steady
‘unless of course ... postured pose already
Momentum as goal ... ‘the epitomized flux
‘of suffering death ... ‘of life-at-the-crux

Mission-grade horror ... ‘plea-bargaining plight
‘saturate lush ... with lust-only light
Principled point ... ‘of worthiness deal ...
to honor … ‘or conquer ... only but meal
