Artists and writers
in the Military
there are...
rare and few

Some paint
miniature models...
for their D&D games
some win contests
to paint murals
- winning the
command's coffee mugs
What a Rip Off!

Well,
it beats painting
green primer and haze grey
All the Live Long Day!

'Cause
if ya keep on
paintin' that deck
with such overly-efficient control
Ya get called "Picasso"
And that's an insult...
He'd never
drive a 50-pound grinder
as good as
the girls from Deck
nor would he have
stayed one second
down in the ship's
engine room
because his dainty little hands
would have melted right off...

Yeah...
he'd-a' made a dainty lil' Sailor
with his stripey lil' shirts...
like the idiot IT's that tossed around
LeVar's poetry-art book...

Yeah...
there they we were
all partyin' off duty

Artists and writers
in the Military

We...
are so rare
and so few...

while my
geometrically abstract designs
evolved with Japanese milky ink

this mutha fucka of an OS
- third class
who's usually down below
warning the quarter masters
and us deck personnel
of oncoming sea traffic

- He'd just take a pencil
without study
nor school
and make me Crave
for his rendition of Fiona Apple
and other lovely women
sketched...
etched...
into pages
integrated
with his intimate poetry
of or about
the Earth and elements
including Love...

Artists and writers
in the Military
are so rare and few

that book's a hot potato

Military
artists and writers
so rare -- few

He's going around
looking for his book

Military writers
rare and few

Oh! His Regret...

BOOM

POW

Sizzle -sssss...

The book landed on the grill.

And those Idiot -
bored to the bone -
drunk off their asses -
IT men

In hysterics
over the barbecued poetry book...

That's why
artists and writers
in the Military
are so rare and few.

...Devotion to Gayatri Devi

"Prayer to Gayatri" (Mother of Devotion)
Chevalterre Nabil/KLRabstracts - Nov - Dec '09

Gayatri Devi
Oh - Gayatri!

You're quite saavy,
personifying Brahman.

Yes, Gayatri Devi

Paving the path of knowledge
does Gayatri Devi

throughout a navy/corn blue sky
you are the twilight devine

Some may heavily envy
you, Gayatri Devi

For you are ageless...
immortal!

Across the waves and mist
I hear you speak
Oh mother
teaching the Vedic - life knowledge

Oh, mother - Gayatri Devi
In meditation,
bowing down...

I inhale
carrying in
spiritual knowledge

I exhale
jettison
the raving ignorance

I inhale
cradling
deeper concentration

I exhale
flushing out
exhausting distractions

I inhale
embracing
peace of mind

I exhale
released
becoming worry free

I have developed
with devotion

such an ability

to please all
with emotion

and all of the gods
with devotion

Namas-te
Mother Gayatri Devi

...to Yama... - Death

"Prayer to Lord Yama"
Chevalterre Nabil/KLRabstracts - Nov - Dec '09

Greetings and Salutations to you
Yes, you! Oh, Yama!

For in the form of time
it is that you punish.

(Español)- en una rama, tu Yama
tachas los muertos.-

For you are the lord of death,
Yama.

I salute you, god of the law,
so righteous in action

You may have taken Osama...
Should you?
but not yet take Obama...
Oh, Yama

I greet you both
- Si, tu - y enseguida
la obscura dama --
la muerte –

- Namas-te!-

- Que tia la muerte
Y tio tan rico
es el dios Yama! -

- Namas-te! -

I am blessed
for you've been steadfast
in the face of judgement

When I did not need to be sedated and violated

When I did not need to be abused and stalked

When I did not need to be twice drugged and robbed

When I needed to accept you...

to die alone and be Renacida - (Francaise) Renee - Reborn!

Yes, you blessed me
I overcame the fear
of your reign -
Death!

- est pour toi -- es por ti -
- que je vivre -- que vivire -
- Vive la vie! -- Viva la vida -
- et vive la morte! -- and Long live death -
- Je suis Renee -- I am Reborn.
