Additions To Our Song
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ What if, each morning, we could tune ourselves to the deep world? The music of our sphere, which may no longer sound true, since we’ve changed not only our own instrument, but also the score. As our once harmonious composition sounds discordant and dissonant , harsh and […]
Longed For
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ I remember sitting on a wall, alone and lonely, surrounded by people. As if they were talking barriers. Until a bright smile, a hello opened the door into a new world which I never expected, yet always longed for. ~~~~~ Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment Peace […]
A Mother Bids
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ A mother bids the starlight to sing their child to sleep. Dreamless or happy romps in a land of make believe. That they could grow up in a world of peace and plenty. History a horrid and horrific memory. If reaching out to seed stars and planets. […]
What Choice Do We Have?
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Hope in darkness lingers in low tones. Sustained tremolo and plangent reserves. When we are deep into winter’s night. We know that some tomorrow, we’ll see light. Even those who live through months of darkness, realize they will watch the sunrise. Lingering above the horizon for days […]
Within My Heart
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Heart of the Matter ~ Philip Brent Harris Within my heart, love expands. It grows, pushes against walls which you know are love itself, disguised as our friable flesh.

Water gurgles, warbles, chuckles, trills and welcomes us. The bark of a fox, and the squeaks of mice speaking their own tongues. All creatures, titans to tinies hear the […]
Angelique
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The club, dark and smokey with pot and hash; cigarettes de classe. Whiskey and gin flow like the oasis fountains, As there, the air filled with foreign tongues all converse. Tables are full, the bar stands three deep. Men and women drink beer and vodka. While the […]

Another Day
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Wind chimes collide in the distance, full throated, rife with music, as if a soft breeze sings. Just awakened, you think it’s some tune on a radio. Until you remember your neighbor Judith’s recent purchase to celebrate her freedom from that brutish man she still loves. Though […]
We Are One
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Sound the horns of color. Heralds of a new day. Slowly seen and rapidly forgotten. When the sun awakes, peaks above the horizon. Glory we observe, going forth into warmth or stepping into the storm. We are nourished on a world not designed for us, by us, […]
