It’s No Mystery
Why do we think we know what’s best for others When we do such a laughable job living ourselves Despite how we look, act, all are sisters, brothers Make as much sense as bookcases without shelves If all the hate were turned to love and down to up To balance all of the mistakes made […]
In a Crowd
Despite constant noise May be time for a nap As young girls or boys They are good at that
Here, Then Gone
Do we believe that the world will remain That it and we will always stay the same Our thoughts and actions we must retain No different than all who play the game Most agree our world is a different place Fire, water, ice, wind, life here, then gone No exception; we all run in the […]
The Way Home
During earlier eras when detail truly counted Beauty embodied function, not merely form An age’s values in stone and metal recounted Not for all of society; but it defined the norm Still today, riches and power our fates decide Lead our dance, whether we know, care why Throw their hubris into the void, but they […]
Wicked Lies
With me sail away for a year and a day To find where the plastic island floats Greeted by people who’ve found a way To survive in this world of harsh notes From any finding too much not enough Whose robotic servants never talk back They’ll tie your shoes, button your cuff No human slaves, […]
Pain and Reason
When you live in chronic pain, no one wants to share You hide it as well as you can, but at times, you swear Those who love you are sympathetic, but cannot know How every day you must struggle to get up, let alone go Still, for the most part we try and smile and […]
No Matter Which You Name
I do not wish to create a new world I wish to create this, our world anew Contemplated re-creation takes time Happens in an instant to all, me, you Dark moods, aches, pains, show up It is wallow in tragedy, go out, smile When terra was incognito we shared We are thee, thee we, so […]
Hoping
Went out the other night, an academy of science, heard a talk Studying the cheetah in order to slow, stop their steady decline One woman grew a group to save cheetahs, when others balk Hoping to make us understand how losing one, may all resign Crowded, little parking, though I did not run fast as […]
Twixt Art and Eternity
What waits within us; what secrets might it seek Are we merely meat puppets, if bold or if meek We think we’re the best, after our upward climb Before we see artwork that is more than sublime We are staggered, stunned, stopped in our tracks In transcendent beauty, ugly, fair, nothing it lacks Inner truth […]
Life’s Tough
No matter what you may do Or where you may go in life Life will appear to aim at you You think you’d be singled out Cosmos is 91 billion LY large If not the focus, will you pout Each day, if sun or rain, enough And the moon and stars at night Don’t get […]
