Before our discussion can finally begin.
The Uninvited Guest
People Over Politics, Courtesy Over Callousness, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Sun rises, alarm clock shrills, traffic noises, screaming children, garbage trucks. With these sights and sounds, pain awakens. Unbroken whispers, incessant, pervasive, continue their constant siege. As a nest of needles, physical pain greets the day. Nattering and nagging, demanding attention, insistent as the specter. […]
My Head Might Explode
People Over Politics, Country Over Capitulation, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ What convoluted scenes we nightly create, Within our dreams our world contemplate. When we can learn how, cogitate this fluidly, We should then, finally, comprehend reality. Yet our mind clearly contains what we need. It has done its utmost to propagate this seed. We, dullards, […]
VOTE!, VOTE!, VOTE!
~~~~~ The, putrid rancorous odor From our cancerous order Should motivate any voter Inside or outside the border. You must gag on the funk, Shout at your shoes daily.. I’m ill smelling the skunk. Any further words fail me.. ~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ See more […]
Beneath the Crust
~~~~~ Seek neither power nor popularity, Though the world tell us, we must. To avoid violence, villainy is victory. Though these would feed your lust. It balances in the end, wait and see.

Despite the Cost
~~~~~ What is it follows? Can it be found? It follows you around. Sometimes in front, sometimes behind. Opens doors, slams doors in your face. Sneaks in cheek by jowl, cuts no slack, a burdened back. Into darkness, into light. Never into or out of sight. Dogs your steps, manacles your joints. Points of pain, […]
Ask Only One Question
~~~~~ Give me now the cheerfulness and fearlessness of our youth. Back when we knew they were our lives, embodied our truth. Towels we used to make super hero capes with paper masks. Innocence our strength to conquer all our Sisyphithian tasks. Heroes all, though one day as Indians, the next day cowboys. Imagination’s fires […]
Willing to Want
~~~~~ While I wait, I watch and I wonder, Periodic people passing by I ponder. Makes me mull missing motivation, As I await an answer with anticipation. My path pursued sans my past passion. Where would it, in weakness, wander? Am I in anyway able to grasp it again? Troublesome times transpire truthfully Mindful many […]
