Internal Revenue Service (Audio)

Standard

I don’t feel like writing

At least not from that place I usually do

For all that has passed between the Inside and Out must be accounted for

Books will have to be reconciled

Accounts receivable and those owed need attention

My Internal Revenue Service has called me in

Hundreds and thousands of transactions

What did I profit?  What have I lost?

Good and Bad, opposite sides of the same coin

A medium of exchange, but not the currency of the Soul

The bureaucrats tally as I struggle to explain with no paper-trail

There is currency now in my words

They create a lasting record

A new Order will be created

New precepts will provide the foundation

A new government will arise

Not based on the Dialectic

Hegel understood but only in part

Now  Integration, Re-creation, and  Consummation

The bedrock cleared and cornerstones laid

Behold, a New thing

Yet even so, old accounts must be settled

  1. I love it… Awesome write <3 You're so talented.
    I wonder if something is wrong with my WordPress as well because others are able to like your post…

    • I didn’t know what i was doing when i started this thing. I ended up with a “self hosted” blog. It seems that limits some of the wordpress stuff. thank you for saying that. All of this is still very new. Hearing myself read the stuff was weird to me and made me shy. I thought it was stupid but decided to do it anyway because the reason Im here in the first place was to put it out there and see what happens. So far all that has happened is that I grin alot (like a boy) when talented and gracious people like you encourage me. Thank you so.

    • You are a most gracious lady. Thank you. Did I understand that you are in Africa? I spent a year there (Zimbabwe which I know is a long way away) in 1983-84. I was 18-19 years old. They would call me Babba now because I am old but I still remember and love the place. I have kept up with Zimbabwe over these long years. She has had a difficult time. I am enjoying getting to know you through your work.

  2. Well Lordy! Not everything you write is going to be hearts and flowers. Life is messy, plain and simple, with a little bit of love and beauty thrown in from time to time. If anyone should know that, you should in your line of work.

  3. I absolutely hate paperwork and anything to do with it. Cant believe I wrote something about the IRS and accounting. Very very not romantic or beautiful. Was a new thing. That’s a part of me I don’t like. A weak undeveloped side of me.

  4. That’s an awesomely deep poem, and what a unique way to explain the “re-creation” you feel like you’re going through.

    We all come to that time of reckoning as we wake up from our stupor and move deeper into the last parts of our life. It’s a blessing that you found your soul has a currency of its own.
