Red Shifted
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Watching the news last night, noticed something, caused a fright. Stories full of depraved, depressing sights, ads for new medicines, so I will not die tonight Told who died, was shot, or another dastardly deed. Told I can’t breathe, my ticker’s bad, but they have what I need. […]

Recovery
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! Where Air Becomes Breath ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ Do we even comprehend that we’re in a closed loop? Like our vascular system.

Thoughts and Feelings
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Thoughts of hope and disillusion lead to clarity and to confusion. Feelings of clarity and confusion lead to hope for some solution.

Neither Nor
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Although I seek reflection I am subject to refraction. Though I attempt detection I am driven by distraction.

Who wants my disaffection Can life […]
What We Think We Held
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ It took nearly as long for sunlight to reach your eye As it did for George Floyd to be murdered and die. Even these words you read are already in the past, although it may be, a mere nanosecond has passed. Still, a year ago or five minutes […]
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Tomorrow will soon to become today. Tomorrow, you know, does not exist. Tomorrow will you say you love me? Tomorrow will you know I love you?
