Taking Your Chance
What do you do if you discover you don’t like your life? When the wonderful choices you’ve made lead to strife Not all of them, certainly, but you feel stifled, unfulfilled One more day you’ll spend praying your world is stilled What you dreamed, do you remember, or who you’d be Memories lost in the […]
Over Chai or Beer
If the sky had been really falling Would I have felt it hit on the head If reason’s voice had been calling Would I have heard what it said Do I prattle all the live-long day Trying to make my life have sense Tongue tangled, mind in the way My plea, hope, peace, my defense […]

You Will Learn
One early morning on Tuesday last week I told you of the future, but did not speak I said I would write these words just now Although, I in no way explained just how Still, I imagined I would be able conceive Some mysterious way to make you believe I could not, cannot express this […]
Wag Chins, Flap Gums
Well, they all do make really valid points Though their topic of discussion is unclear If we all sit down and smoke several joints We will then believe we’ve nothing to fear How do we deal with overdose information Religion, drugs, sex, TV, or move a mouse Whatever, we succumb, labor or recreation King, queen […]
