Warnings Around Us … War … Surrounds Us

The lesson of Japan’s Mount Ontake volcano: catastrophic change is, potentially,

but a moment away … a fine autumn day … turned deadly.

Oh, what a specious … species … are we. With abundant signs of potentially

imminent change all about us, we turn blind eyes … with constancy.

Popular unrest in Hong Kong, a restive lull in the Ukraine and open hostilities

in Iraq and Syria aren’t enough to open eyes … widely.

The lesson of Japan’s Mount Ontake volcano: catastrophic change is, potentially,

near. Please … heed my plea; abnegate nationality … to exalt humanity.

ON WHY … ARTHUR WRITES

Ours is a surreal and seemingly impossible mission in #twitterfiction;
forgive the trespasses of others, and be led not … into temptation.

In #twitterfiction, hate is born of perverted spirituality; the Muslim
Sunni and Shia reminiscent of, Catholics and Protestant, Christian.

It is supremely easy, #twitterfiction, for the talking heads to ignore me
(an individual) but ignoring a global community, won’t be … as easy.

Wanted, indeed, needed is a groundswell. One that abnegates surrealities
such as nationality, in #twitterfiction, in favor of … humanity.

Ergo, in #twitterfiction, AN ATLAS … POETIC; a prayer and a plea,
for Mandela-Tutu-like global truth and reconciliation … please.

In #twitterfiction, AN ATLAS, POETIC; poetry about history, sociology
and eschatology; irony in verse, for each nation … and territory.

ON CALIPHATES … AND NATION-STATES

In #twitterfiction, hate is born of perverse spirituality; the Sunni and Shia Muslim
reminiscent of Catholics and Protestants … Christian.

In #twitterfiction, hate’s born of perverse spirituality and nationality,
whether in caliphates restored or nation-states … traditionally.

#Twitterfiction-al insight, more than hindsight, and more than foresight, best
illumes meaningfulness, from the shadow of … meaninglessness.

In #twitterfiction, previews to AN ATLAS TWEETED; poetry about history, spirituality
and eschatology, from epigrams, and a blog … unitary.

#Twitterfiction: Come to @chachomanopapa on Twitter and its surrealistic analog, chachomanopapa.wordpress.com. Poetry about history from tweets, and a blog.

ON OBLIVIOUSNESS

Seven billion global citizens; all but oblivious to one another. But to the extent that any
two or more share … in #twitterfiction … space-time-continuity …

… i.e., but when we touch, see, hear, smell, taste or otherwise surreally perceive another,
we are oblivious … in #twitterfiction … to our brother.

The internet is, in #twitterfiction, the God-given conduit whereby we might alchemically
transcend … to global peace … and global … prosperity.

In #twitterfiction, we’ll need do the only seemingly impossible; the abnegation of surrealities,
like nationality, in favor of the exaltation … of our humanity.

Time, in #twitterfiction,for Truth and Reconciliation; whether you think we can get it done
or you think we can’t … you’re absolutely … right … on.

See @chachomanopapa on Twitter, and chachomanopapa.wordpress.com., its blog-log analog,
for poetry, in #twitterfiction, about history, from tweets and a blog.

Poems melding Ovid’s and Emily’s; in poems to (wo)men about change, otherworldly visionaries
#twitterfiction-ally ask: Of what good are borders … and nationalities?

ON HUMANITY … NATIONALITY … AND SPIRITUALITY

Poetry, albeit belatedly, resonates within Arthur’s soul. His memories, and the poetically
rendered memories of others, profoundly reverberate within him, loudly,
albeit, inaudibly. Wordsmiths, (wo)men of peace, are his heroes and heroines; Ovid, Willy,
Emily, Khalil and Maya, et. al., eloquently teach us, albeit … sublimely.

Oh, what a specious species are we! We relegate our very real humanity to a status effectively
below that of abstractly surreal identities of nationality and spirituality.
Wordsmiths, (wo)men of peace, ought be our heroes and heroines; Ovid, Willy, Emily,
Khalil and Maya, via their poetry … might teach us … albeit, sublimely.
