Buy and Bye
Buy and Bye ~~~~~ Can you tell us of days, our future cast How we fared and how long did we last Not really important in the grand scheme Everything changes; whimper or scream All of our glories and all of our horrors Blink of an eye; so much less than hours We all think […]
All Our Winding Ways
All Our Winding Ways ~~~~~ What are the ways We navigate life? Paths we follow; What we choose, Life chooses for us. Locked in Sterile cubicles. No matter How, how much We strive To create, Make them ours. Locked in To desks, To dos and don’ts, Our duties. Trapped in cells, Apps, smart phones, Toys […]
On Our Way to Oblivion
On Our Way to Oblivion ~~~~~ Time that I work from back to front. Don’t worry if you don’t understand. It is just my way of fooling my brain, To discover what I don’t understand. Might it be, I’ll never have answers? Maybe I’ll never know the questions. In a time and place like all […]
Will I Have Any Chance?
Will I Have Any Chance? ~~~~~ Will I know how to say farewell, Will I have any chance to do so? Will all have been said, do tell? Will I cherish regret, when I go? ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let […]
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 […]
It’s Yours
It’s Yours (First published 1/14 ~ Revised) ~~~~~ Whenever life has the last laugh, and it is on you, Drops you in the drink, snaps a lace on your shoe, Challenging and unfair, you may think, often true, But, more often, the problem is all because of you. “Wait,” you say, “How can this be […]
If We Dare

I Sometimes Wonder
I Sometimes Wonder ~~~~~ I sometimes wonder What might have been, If things were different Than they are. It may seem a silly Exercise, a waste of time, But I have plenty Of spare moments As I sit at home, Shelter in place as best I can and sometimes wonder What might have been, If […]
Canvassing
Canvassing ~~~~~ Many think we come into the world tabula rasa. I believe slate is not blank, it is a white canvas. White looks quite stark, contains all the colors, Throughout life, we scrape off some, add others. Painted canvas, like puzzle pieces, fill in life’s tale; No matter where we start or end, it’s […]
