The Rest
The Rest ~~~~~ Things that are lost may reappear Or never show up at all, my dear. Neither rhyme nor reason suffices. Will explain our talents and vices. Despite what doctors, shrinks say; It’s all a mystery, but you will pay. Knowledge bubbles up from below, In truth; we cannot possibly know. In the end, […]
Laid Low
Laid Low ~~~~~ Sitting here and succumbing to the idiot box, While doing my best an idiot not to become. I’ve the world’s knowledge at my fingertips. To ignore it; that that would be really dumb. Are we deaf to reason, blind to illumination? I watch flickering images, hear braying asses. How then can everything […]

Lies Are Poison
Lies Are Poison ~~~~~ I need to sit upon the shore, And watch the mighty ocean. May be soft, a cradle rocking, As violent as any explosion. Remind myself there is more And odder than I’ve a notion, Beside what they’re hawking. Because their lies are poison. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity […]
Not by Choice
Not by Choice ~~~~~ O, how strange, the quiet world around, Folks wearing masks as if going to a ball. A boring ball, same masks what’s found; Your date may leave in the evening’s pall. The gathering of the magpies and ravens Tweet testily over who controls the purse. I root for any giving small […]
Quarantine
Quarantine ~~~~~ As we sit a home and bide our sweet time, Hope we and ours come out the other side. Hording is no more safe than eating dimes; Won’t heal you nor slow pace of time, tide. By all means, I say, be careful as you can. Don’t stroll on busy roads, lick live […]
Star Stuff
Star Stuff ~~~~~ Just when I think I might comprehend it at all, The bright sunlight dazzles my eyes, The moon’s glow befuddles my brain, Reminds me I’m but a stellar child, oh so small ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let […]
What Tricks
What Tricks ~~~~~ What tricks must we play to hide from ourselves? Are there places, parts we simply refuse to find? It might be either or both to anyone who delves. Oh, come on, can you please make up your mind. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ […]
Repeated Repetitions
Repeated Repetitions ~~~~~ We must hear repeated repetitions of many things Before we have a chance for them to become clear. Skulls more than thick we need multiple drillings. If we are open and patient, we’ll get it, never fear. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, […]
