“the way to discover”… a poem by Ben Bussewitz


“the way to discover"


  by Ryan Ventriloquist (Ben Bussewitz)





well, now i am seated.
this is when i figure out what i need to do.

when do i discover the new way to uncover
the parallels of the mysteries
laid out in space over history?

when do i figure out what chains of theories
connected to the platform of love,
interceded from above, into the heart of a dove?

around me, mortal eyes,
staring with complexion,
into my profound introspection
of which they all oblige.

at my desk, seated for aquatics
life for journey, plant something spawning
memories and trips to the field,
away to the harvest oak, mellow, full of hope,
in the creek that simmers on,
rushes and rattles along, just like that Terrell song,
on the seat where my dreams belong and come on strong,
compassion and patience for all, to detach from my longings,
breathing in the hula hoop peace of her, with my heart made from clay,
running all the time, for all of time, created for all days,
with peace of mind, and her by my side on the beach,
writing our names in the sand,
never to fade away,
made from clay,
never to fade away.

Democracy: The Dialectical Exchange of a Citizenry in Action

“American Democracy: The Dialectical Exchange of the Citizenry in Action” Written by Ryan Ventriloquist, MMus (Ben Bussewitz) The dialectical exchange of the citizenry in action involves all the citizens, the representatives (who are also classed as equal citizens) and all the people, the many who the people in office represent as they channel their will amongst one another and throughout the socio-symbolic public sphere and in phone calls directly, through petitions, town-hall gatherings, etc. (the tools of democracy) to their representatives who carry forth their will. Democracy entails the cultivation of a critical citizenry, what the ancient Greeks referred to as  paideia —a body politic characterized by citizens who are inquisitive, who reach their own independent judgements on issues and ideas through thoughtful, evaluative reflection and processing of information, who do not conform to the stances or opinions of others, but rather, reach their own conclusions through autonomous

“Cooing of Willow” a poem by Ben Bussewitz

“Cooing of Willow” poem written by Sufjan Viouiest (Ryan Ventriloquist) (Ben Bussewitz) in a incipient percipience of a head full of wind bells, the elephant tusk horn wrought about a heart full of thanksgiving shipments to the world up above, time to everlasting in a form made anew, waiting for the love to render beauty in her truest form, down to the core, a blissful state for her and a continuously laden spoonful that must be sipped down more and more, along for the windmill to catch on to second glance, and sheltering each other in a nod of time and chance, in the shelter delight of their eye spying alas and thrones, their bodies were still unborn in the born again song of the poor, in a song full of honey, in a winding lane, through the yellow canopy, to the kayaks by the river, through the rustling, hustling, blue storms they sail, ready for their shingles, thanking God he overcame his hanging from the group of elders that cry for no tomorrow, say peace to the children, their hea

Socrates, Defender of Democracy

Image
Socrates, Defender of Democracy by Ben Bussewitz Socrates lived through the golden age of Athens, the deterioration of the city-state into a 25 year war with Sparta, the rise of an oligarchic regime, and the ultimate restoration of the Athenian democracy. At the age of 70 he was executed by the state for supposedly corrupting the youth and insulting the Hellenistic pantheon of gods. The reason for the latter could be that Socrates subtlety purported to be a monotheist. He sometimes could be heard referring to the one true God who rules over heaven and earth. For instance, in Plato’s depiction of Socrates is the dialogue entitled  Euthyphro , Socrates, while discussing holiness, states, “I mean to say that the holy has been acknowledged by us to be loved by God because it is holy, not to be holy because it is loved.” This passage illustrates that Socrates looked at the world as though there was only one true God reigning over, which conflicted with the Greek polytheistic vision. And sim
