Poetry by Cesar Luna
the artful dancer
the artful dancer
quiet nature
surfing in unity
clings to yesterday,
ponders remedy for stress
weighing the soul is just one role
sound of silence, more than a luxury
a vision,
flickering amid the everyday grind-
urgent need of reform-
what do you want from you?
the best of both worlds
fun: help yourself
be a light onto the world
a rare chance
'keep the dream alive'
breed this world to your lifestyle
no substitutes
fields of dreams, vacation paradise
life depends on it
John Lennon
Test of the wild
may lose, may shed light
a new concept
lets itself get buried
'something special'
human beauty will soon run free
portal to a better life
no time to quit
signs appear
alternatives uplifting
optimistic of end
'one day i will open my eyes'
The Spineless
fights toughest battle
breakout looking unlikely
ends on downer
no rest from the dreary
what can you do?
identification? irritation
provide a welcome change
plot takes shape in the air
finding the freedom
'not to be one's self'
the right is wrong
here's your chance
fly free!
appeal for peace
take a risk
step by step
on a flight of fantasy
escape the world of ways.
mind games, fried eggs
the agony
and
the ecstasy
a fantasy of serenity
headed for a dead end
'these people are desperate'
but enjoying the experience
face to face - a senseless death
smile, mask
the terrible truth
turn pain into pleasure
eyes on freedom
deadly bite
art in the rain
wont fly
lunacy evolving
against all odds
a way to hide from the problem?
dismiss your universe-
good for you
let's get on with it
blind fun
walks with fire
I
a word to the young:
blind fun
walks with fire
ease squeeze
just being nude isn't lewd
fascinate people for a lifetime
experience the feeling
be carried away
dance your way
through diverse offerings
II.
nothing is endless
pandemonium breaks out
bedlam delays
trying to heal unseen wounds
freaks of nature
safe at last
use your imagination
an antidote for potential
the celestial tribe
your soul takes over
wild places, mind games
or simply fate
a giant step for humankind
NWD
angst and insecurity
wrong path
the pain's only postponed
'we were thinking, one doth whine too much'
once outrage
now a collective turning away
gift is misdirected
who's right?
kids are casualties
found root -
new world disorder
(poison)
the truth:
rancid-
rising dicontent over corruption
a psychosis
no resolution
early death
flower power struggle-
no chance of coexistence
save it.
transform yourself
meet on higher ground
all together now
that one special place you never thought existed
now does.
life reasserts itself.
see what you've been missing
dilemmas of the young and tattooed
bird's eye view
did you hear?
out of the shadows
even sex
rocky the chihuahua, adrift
whatchamacallit?
poison cocktail
this is where it all begins
Aint We Hip
all-for-one-and-one-for-all
run-for-you-life
public in dark
spawn cash and woes
how can it be?
say it aint so!
privitization, mystique
the eyes have it
a mirror of the soul
beat,tortured,raped
picking up the pieces
untangling the web
hi! school
high school experience: unreal!
hostage to the madness
it's a conspiracy....
dummies disappoint
new faces
somehow familiar
everything is changing....
into uncharted waters
lessons but no answers
war of words
the thrill is gone
he saw the light
the battle is joined
'any questions?'
get out of here
find shelter.
stay the night....
a myth unravels:
education alternative
experts question
the horny dilemma-
unproven classroom experiment-
assisted suicide reinvents itself
no questions asked
doing it their way
elaborate - in demand
right for you?
suppression, oh brother
was he pushed?
oh, why stop there?
the rising, allow women
let drama climax
stay the night...
bed. adrenaline. fun.
start each day with a smile
(ironically i'm not all that happy)
open season
how to choose a mutt-
it's deadly season-
for her
spice of life offers no asylum
short end of the stick
she's mad as hell
and she's not going to take it anymore
too sleepy, shatter her mood
Big Bad Guys
closing in
watch your rear
freedom goes; sideshow
love shouldn't hurt
fantasy maker in a fantasy world
crisis deepens
'hey i'm stuck!'
funny how these things work out
road home
especially vulnerable
proceed cautiously
a hard rain may fall
we loved her courage
but hey....
the game doesn't change
"it's a sunday..."
the angriest young man
adapts artistic independence
to sing tonite
time to cheer, time to cry
romantic illusions-
hatred grows where it's sown
exploring the inner landscape
walls fall to reveal-
fear and loathing
growing up scared
meditation slides into chaos
so what.
not fazed.
just the beginning-
seeing red
first the rhythm
now the blues
dramatic twist
has finally turned
outrage
should end it.
life
pt.1
'work'
the naked truth:
life's a bitch then you die
much is imagined but so what?
no need to show severe psychological damage
stop whining and get to work
pt. 2
'girls'
heads up!
hot new designer death
women on guard
now attacking!
thousands on the run
'save the males'
pt.3
'fear'
big-city glamour
ho-hum
Jack's ripping through
enjoy the excitement of
vast horror, global carnage, and guilt
pt.4
'anger'
civilization
follow
LEADER
freedom, anyone?
the system stinks
think your name
is 'next'?
growth?
quit now.
we are sheep
scary to think about
pt.5
'change'
tradition is out
a revolution begins
changes are planned
plans are changed
make the move an adventure:
try unorthodox approach
the Ugly Americans
the Ugly Americans
experts:parasites
arthritis survives
terrorism scourges motivation
and manipulation
melting of colors
takes common bacteria
rotten clone
demands a facelift
outsiders flee
future in doubt
dead in the water
oddest victim
end of the line:
don't be spineless
snake man
KILLDEVILDEATHMACHINERY
I.
a tale of life and death
sordid family
last barriers fall
the Independent
going to extremes
disaster at the edge
-meltdown-
the great black hole
asylum:the magic key
II.
wondrous fantastic journey begins
hopes take a jolt
uproar ends with a whimper
welcome-and doomed-guests
that awful feeling
second chance
charge back to contention
hero
a will to win
III.
incredible voyage
survives with a gasp
thousands watch
ugly scene
kept getting uglier
-turning point-
suddenly a chance
overcome challenge
light wins affirmed
VICTORY
conversations with flies
the philosopher
a lifeless animator
wealth of culture
contradicted
corruption of the worst kind
haunting thoughts
and misconceptions
do you think?
think twice.
just say no.
