What are We Supposed to Do?
Prejudice, religious and racial intolerance, terrorism, murder, war and greed are said to have existed almost from the moment Homo sapiens first walked upright. Territorial imperatives and tribalism came to exist and I’m sure disputes sometimes arose between neighboring groups. Yet land was plentiful and early hominids could find more distant areas to forage and […]
Vision
Viewing life through my own glass Either magnifying or reducing lens My inner prism, no form, no mass Lighting my inner prison to cleanse Other views or other ethics learned May inform process, but not control Inner truth never hidden or spurned This lens my vision to expose, extol You may not understand my vision […]
Take Your Chances
So you pays your money and you takes your chance That is something I have been told, though not read Along the way you may learn the steps to the dance Hope you will master them, before you end up dead Many cute descriptions, we use to describe our lives A dance, a ride, a […]
