If Never I Would Leave You

This should be sung to the tune of If Ever I Would Leave You, from Camelot. Should be featured in the new musical, Scamelot. If ever I got impeached, It would crash the market. Really crash the market, As only I know. My hair streaked with sunlight, While flips said my name, My face full […]

Can I?

When I was young, I was wise; It’s all leaked out of my head. School poked the hole, I surmise. Can I put it back in, ere I’m dead? ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ See more of my creative offerings and opinions Brent Harris Fine Art […]

Left Handed Compliment

On a trip to the dentist, oh what fun. Needle jabs make your mouth numb. Sharp tools prod, the pleasures none. But not to go would surely be dumb. Sit in a chair, be stood on your head. Get up, a moment, ere you can walk. One side of your face feels like lead, For […]

Begin Again

I have seen the future and I have even lived within it. Difficult, you understand, It’s now when you begin it.

Beggar or Bard?

It cannot make any real difference Which way you might go, if you go Forward and don’t sit on the fence. On a fence, watch life, never know What might have been, no suspense. Sitting thus you’ll never ever move In any particular direction toward Any disaster or triumph to behoove Choice: boss, worker, beggar, […]

Already Been Said

Find your life, daily, picking on you, With little pinches in dribs and drabs? You are, no doubt, worrying at it, too, In the way we pick at, pull off scabs. It is not the death of a thousand cuts. Still, life’s petty problems wear us out. I tell you this with no ifs, ands […]
