What a Waste
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Boots come marching over you,grind you down to putrid paste.What did these boots need to do,which ended you? What a waste.

Fallen Silent
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Tell me, please, why are the bells ringing? Is it a time of joy that sets people singing? A time of sadness where many moan, cry? The bells are ringing. Please, tell me why. I hurry toward the knell tolled as if I know, while my heart feels […]
After the Last
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Listen to the songs of the morning. They’ll grow as the day rises. See the sun appear to stop, as the heat waves rise, shimmer over the land. Is it a magnificent or forlorn thing, waiting to see what the day will be? Will it be tense, […]
Infusion for Confusion
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Earth Crown 4 Religion but a pseudosolution, might require us to make a dilution.

Elocution and Confusion
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Rumors of Spring ~ Philip Brent Harris Though I think we’ll find no absolution. I think we must make a resolution.

Turning Blue
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Above a steel-gray ocean, under a brushed nickel sky yellow blooms in profusion. Dandelions, mustard, a tall one, I don’t know the name.

Thoughts and Feelings
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Reimagined as a sonnet All our thoughts of hope and disillusion lead to clarity and to confusion.
