You Might Be Right
~~~~~ I wager you believe that I cannot write Something to make you think and laugh Even though I admit you might be right, Picture dear leader with the head of a giraffe. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know […]
The Inside More
~~~~~ I had a thought yesterday And it really made me think, When people stop and pray For a better life, a new sink, Are words they think, say An attempt to hoodwink Themselves? You, say hey, That sound like double-think. What you want, at heart, may Not match the words you think, When you […]
If We Keep Going…
~~~~~ What’s a person to do, When every day there’s something new? War and violence, pandemic, Unsanctioned, sanctioned murder, a nod, a wink. Systemic racism, top to bottom, nation-wide, Though you’ll say, don’t look at me. If not you, who would you blame instead? Do you, like me, have no safe place to stand, Numbered […]
Epiphany
~~~~~ Artists and writers may be tortured souls Constantly searching for a way to express That is so cogent and so clear we awake. Oftentimes creatives in front of the curve. They create a vision to show you, tell you, Difficult to show on the page, the canvas, In the dance steps, notes of the […]
And Promises to Keep
~~~~~ I would climb upon the stars So I may hear your thoughts. Live, with my pain and scars, As I am jumping over aughts. To be dancing upon the grass. I wonder which side I am on? If it’s all the same, I will pass, A gilded plate my name is on. All, and […]
The Cynic, Silent Killer
~~~~~ Boots on the ground come marching, marching. Boots on the ground come marching one by one. Boots on the ground taught to appear steely eyed, While they wield the arsenal that’s been supplied. Boots on the ground come marching, marching. Boots on the ground come marching two by two. There to support law enforcement; […]
We Must Change
~~~~~ The call was loud and clear today, The jackboots of Ares set to march. Petty baboon pleader, a sullen fool. Tear gas, storm troopers, photo ops For ego strokes, pats his own back. We must scream No, bottom to top Take to the streets, for it must stop. We must gather in peace and […]
Brevity, the Wit of Soul
~~~~~ Could it be I finally understand, with my limited perception, that I am but briefly in the band no matter my talent or reception? ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think. See more of my creative […]
Lies and Truth
Lies and Truth ~~~~~ What ways we wander, wonder why. Search, seek twisted trails, tall tales. While we follow fools, venal villains, meaning morsels, broken breadcrumbs. Lost, languishing, mired meanders, wide walkways, paved pathways, rural roads, Long lanes, dusty drives, graveled grades, sleek superhighways, cacophonous cities Electronic expressways lead, lure to tips, digital dead-ends, while […]
Ain’t Worth Shit
Ain’t Worth Shit ~~~~~ We never know what we don’t know Until the moment that we know it. Our ignorance may strike us a blow; Knowing it too late ain’t worth shit. For example, the danger of any virus, That you catch, but think it’s a hoax. Virus’ don’t respect station, age, bias. And a […]
