Oracles & Saws

A brief preface talks about deception and folly, about when and when not to act. The first poem: An Oracle: is a dissertation on biblical prophecy and the current state of the world, or the current state of the world for the last two thousand years. It is complex and not easy to outline. The second poem: Carnal Knowledge: deems knowledge gained as the most important thing in sexual intercourse, rather than sensual, carnal satisfaction. Wisdom is the chief thing that ensures happiness, not the pursuit of pleasure. It is a bit suggestive, some half naughty words, but not in context. I will not use the Adult Content here. Certainly nothing worse here than the kids will not hear out in the street. And this is philosophical, encouraging virtue through wisdom, not promiscuity, recommending any sexual peccadilloes in particular, more in the manner of admonishing against the less conventional. But sexual techniques is not the point; wisdom through love is the point. In place of the naughty 69, we have the two 9's mirroring each other that makes the Valentine's heart. Get it? Imagine mirrored 9's in your mind. See the Valentine's heart? NOTE: My bookcover heart looks more like a pumpkin due to font limitations and inadequate graphics capabilities.
