By Your Choices
By Your Choices ~~~~~ I grasp my time, my life, my being, Like the blind men and the elephant. What I perceive not what I’m seeing. It may be my fire’s just on my pants. Chasing after truth by concocting lies, Mystic brews that obscure and reveal. All my victories, failures and my tries, Perchance […]
Crazy Poet
Crazy Poet ~~~~~ I know this crazy poet. he lives inside my head. About language, he know it. At least, that’s what he said. Rhyme, meter, he can show it. Words flow from my pen instead. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and […]
Three-Letter Folk
Three-Letter Folk ~~~~~ We’ve absolutely no idea how our world may change, Despite those who have wild hairs of how to rearrange. Someone, may push a button, start the last of our wars. Perhaps we finally see the dream of having flying cars. What of the three-letter agencies hidden in plain sight, Who tell us […]
My Secret Treasure
My Secret Treasure ~~~~~ Digging a deep hole, I find my darkness grows, “No way out,” they say, “But through.” Pretty sure I’ll burn, Long before I tunnel through The Earth. Time to change Direction, but which way? Should I turn, Follow my nose, Or wait for a sign, A glimmer in darkness, A will-o-wisp, […]
Just How It Goes
Just How It Goes ~~~~~ I’m an old white guy, I shouldn’t rap. If I even try, They’ll call it crap. But I am troubled, In every way. My stress is doubled, On every day. Terror and fright On the news, Each and every night, But not my views. Toil and strife, It creeps inside […]
WWWWW+H
WWWWW+H ~~~~~ Who are you, when you’re not truly you? Who do people see, when they’re with you? Who would you be, if you could be anyone? Who is it, others have chosen you must be? What will happen, if you don’t like yourself? What role do you play, do you play the most? What […]
Blue Screen Cafes
Blue Screen Cafes ~~~~~ What do expect, from texts, Just the usual suspects? How would that be, With life the fee? Head down, Smile or frown, Attention, intention locked In a little box, a pox. Yet only letters in a row, Like any word we don’t know. Shorthand, perhaps, But often slaps. Is there reason […]
Who Calls the Tune?
Who Calls the Tune? ~~~~~ Despite how brilliant, how noble I think my thoughts, Guarding how gracious, grand, I envision my dreams. Futility wraps them in a cerement, as small minds plot, Hate, fear, want, murder shape all their selfish schemes. I believe I can change the world, if just my little corner; I strive to […]
Ever Live in Fear
Ever Live in Fear ~~~~~ How will we decide what to do, what to think, what we’ll think, In a world of conflicting opinions, way too much information? While we caper and cavort blindfolded, oh, so close to the brink, Believing we’re so ordinary, nothing extraordinary can be done. When actions are performed beyond the […]
Brightly Blaze the Stars
Brightly Blaze the Stars ~~~~~ Mentioned rarely in polite conversation, I follow you around. You will never see or hear me, because I never make a sound. Unknown land where I will someday lead you, an adventure; Sometimes I’ll snatch you unprepared, curtail your time here. Still, whether slow, sudden, I choose always the correct […]
