We Must Take This Time
~~~~~ We must take this time and the lesson of our current government as everything we should not do to help people of all backgrounds, races, religions or none, all genders, sexual orientations and any other difference or to advance democracy. The administration of President Trump has been a chilling wakeup call. His base and […]
Mirror, Mirror
~~~~~ We know less is more and more is less. Great description of our current mess. How much will you fight for, sacrifice, Will you overlook corruption and vice? Do you know where you are, why and When, who you want to be by the end? If you accept even one mass shooting Carrying even […]
Rather a Fool in Heaven Than a Bigot in Hell
~~~~~ I must first say, I don’t believe in either heaven or hell, Not in the way that I’ve implied in my title above, still, The framework under which our current lives are lived A sundered screen through which our lives are sieved. Help us to never wonder how we might’ve lived so well, If […]
Overrun by Barbarians
~~~~~ My mind has been ground down into mush, Constipated thought, no matter how I push, As obfuscation, trivia and drivel dribble out. Any wise words of mine, missing in action. That said, I’ll fight to drivel and dribble on. Mayhap a turd of wisdom will squeeze out, Flow from this fickle pen, held in […]
Where We Stood
~~~~~ Would I be willing to show you the shabby shelter Which I keep hidden deep inside my head? It’s not much except a place I can hide When the world weeps and cries, Full of our false and futile sound and fury. People standing on their doorsteps Screaming obscenities at anyone, Everyone who does […]
No Escape
~~~~~ The Most Addictive Drug What is, do you think, the most addictive drug? If I suggest possibilities, you may nod or shrug. It is neither heroine nor is it prevalent nicotine; It’s something that makes us act more obscene. What, you say? You believe it is crack cocaine? By comparison to this, we could […]
Definitely
~~~~~ Second day, in weeks, away from home, With,, mostly, proper social distancing. Such distance feels antisocial, to some, These days, anything else is alarming, Especially if we are among the people Say wearing a mask attacks their freedom. Curve won’t flatten until we make a lull. To be too selfish to agree, more than […]
So Below
Oh what a trial computers are, yet we cannot live without them. Their bits, bytes, drivers, apps, to most, as magical as a unicorn. Like people, get filled with junk, catch viruses like an alien BEM. We try to tend them carefully, but in time they grow old, forlorn. Like pets, love them, invest in […]
Entropy Increases, Ya Boy Howdy
~~~~~ Why don’t they come haul his ass away? He gets crazier with everything he say. He lives for himself, all alone in his own head. It wouldn’t matter if we all dropped dead. He never ever does the things he oughta. Though I’m sure he would hug his daughter. He’s a senile, demented nut […]
Balancing Act
~~~~~ Where is the light we keep in the window That guides each of us all the way home? What time we ponder wait and wonder; Will our answers ever remain unknown? How can the illness and greed of the few Control the course all our lives will take? With the time now to think […]
