A Battle of Wills
It's a constant battle of wills with my son and me
One-upmanship is foremost in our daily “get along” tree
Heads are strong
Equal right or wrong
Mostly friendly but goes off the rail if we really disagree...

Deluded Act of Forgiveness
feeling hurt, we forgive
healing heart, that we live
noble act of doership
tact of one-upmanship
if all one, who remains
save bliss squall, free of chains
each behaves, as ordained
thus knaves too, are unstained

Our Ugly Side
Our ugly side, anger and greed
Game of one-upmanship
Endless craving beyond our need
Gods love not our flagship
At all costs need to win
Deafened by ego din
Delusion begets sin
Ego lust ride
Our ugly side

Feral Instinct
Feral instinct, fear and control
Seeking domination
One-upmanship, the only goal
From God, separation
Stuporous mind in fog
Tail now wagging the dog
Think! Pause! Reboot, re-log
From soul de-linked
Feral instinct

There Is No Distance
There is no distance, save in mind
God is here now, within
Exiting narrow thoughts that bind
Heart beckons, go therein
Exiting our doership
No more one-upmanship
Love becomes our flagship
If no resistance
There is no distance

Transmutation
On an as is where is basis, we see
Born into form, power to manifest
Don thinking cap, conjuring misery
Scorn the norm, as one-upmanship persists
Feeling incomplete, we choose surrender
Bringing head and heart into alignment
Standing erect, beholding Gods wonder
Purring bliss rapture, tranquil contentment

Spaghetti Soup
P erky poets penning perfect poetry
O f ordeals, oppressions, over joyfulness
E ntreating, enticing, exciting entries
T elling the tales told through time
R ich rhyming romance, riddles and rib-ticklers
Y es!
S avouring sensual seductive spaghetti soup
O n lookers ovations of one-upmanship
U niting us in ultramodern, understanding of
P oetry...

Stoop To Conquer
Spiritual practice is doomed from the start,
since any ritual involves our doership
and therefore unless ego’s made to depart,
futile is our meditation or worship,
unless ofcourse we choose to add love to cart,
exiting shallow game of one-upmanship,
whereupon once no agenda is tabled,
by God's grace, soul's ascension is enabled.
