Decreationism
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 26 November 2009)
The mirror fell on the floor of doom
And shattered into a millenium of pieces
Each with its own ending
Each shard could draw blood and reflect
Many millenia of suffering and survival
And a god that fell upon his knees in regret
The pieces seemed uncertain and alone
Yet shared a certain commonality
A lowest common denominator of minimalist selves
Which appealed to certain media tycoons and politicians
And this all egged on till the sun, hell, froze over

Distution
(Philosophy written by Martin Eden on 24 November 2009)
The process of failure of catastrophising
Never dull or fearful
But nonetheless boring
Outwearing its purpose
The protection of institutions
Perhaps the circumference of circumvention has come full circle …

At Home
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 23 November 2009)
At home
Is a space
Between past and future
One can call one’s own
Alone
Or with someone
But so many don’t live there

Darkness
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 22 November 2009)
I can see in the darkness
What I could not in the light
Why is that I ask myself
Conditioning
For what purpose
And by whom
But that is an endless enquiry
Suffice to say we better know ourselves in the darkness
Maybe that’s the way of the universe

Deism
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 15 November 2009)
There’s a man inside the conglomerate
He decides on the insight of divorce
And finds a conjunction of unfreedoms
The modern world
His party washed up along the shore
Only to be rejected by its own fate
Where humanity reversed over it
To where greed feeds on idealism
In endless fear
Where to now the misogynist’s creation
But relentless defence of property and realm
And whether it be a weathered outcome
It was not his constituency
But loss of pride
To be not wise
To not know experience
To grasp at any banner
Taking sides to prevent compassion
To paradise foregone at any cost
In the hope of a smorgasboard of errant salvation

The Pressed Barren
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 12 November 2009)
What in the interim box
office is there of
value
A digest of wanting
A broader, multi-sided
compendium
Not that ruled by
money and ulterior
motive
Perhaps the views of the
unbought
The insight into over-
extended
minorities
Balanced by some or
all of the
rest of us
Cumbersome as it may
seem
As dictated by a self-
enfranchised media
Seeking costs from the
disempowered
Manipulated earnings
for the intrinsically
counter productive
Despising the ideal,
the dream, the heart
Desperately revolving
the dust
Of a long-ago dried
out life

The Vagaries
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 4 November 2009)
The vagaries came to lose
the span of time
Among the evergreens
still left
Yet beauty pressured its
endless march
Beyond the negative and
the vain
