No Longer Ours
No Longer Ours ~~~~~ The end of an era, so-called. Not the end of all, perhaps. Unknown for now, until Some future now, connected; Contiguous, not, in theory, continuous. Then, is that us, gone? Merely an era in time, between, No relationship but time, flowing, A rolling stream, raging River, fed by tributaries or, one […]
Will Be
Will Be ~~~~~ Do they believe it does not matter, any of the evil things that they do, certain balance will not find them? Those now on high will be laid low. Why can’t we remember life before? Hard to change, that we don’t know. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, […]
Asking Why
Asking Why ~~~~~ They all told me that dying is an honor when you fall in the cause of freedom. What of the life that might bring peace, Words of the poet that might sway us? When will we know this loss as a horror? It tells how little of the road we’ve come. Am […]
Forget How We Remember
Forget How We Remember Variations on a theme by Shane Koyczan ~~~~~ Forget how we remember. Forget the games we played in May that should not be played in December, Since each bullet shot comes from a bigger gun And we always keep them loaded just in case. We court each human with enmity and […]
Upon
Upon ~~~~~ Echoes upon echoes. Where did the sound begin? Has it ended? Is it merely repeating what’s gone before? A big bang, that’s now a weak noise we hear as echoes upon echoes. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me […]
Yearning and Reaping
Yearning and Reaping ~~~~~ Life, our mystery, our sorrow and our joy, today only. We can neither live in the past, nor predict the future, no matter how much we yearn. Whether we are single or joined, guardians of children or only ourselves and each other, we all travel together. Our ship will not sail, […]
Life Where I Live ~ and why it needs to change
Life Where I Live and why it needs to change ~~~~~ Your life is busy, if you live in the good old US of A. If you’re not homeless, jobless, addicted, suffering from PTSD, begging for money on the street, wondering where you will sleep, where your next meal will come from, you probably think […]
Have I told You?
Have I told You? ~~~~~ Have I told you about anything I know Or have I only told you about my beliefs? One’s like granite, survives a hammer blow, The other like a gust of wind or a falling leaf. Belief will sometimes change the world. Knowledge is sometimes calcified and friable. If we could […]
Can You?
Can You? ~~~~~ Life might seem like endless chores; Some say better than heavenly choirs. You would have to live on love alone, Unless endless singing helps to atone. It’s all made up, no matter your belief. Can you find solace in another’s grief? Because, if my faith right, yours is not, Such a sad […]
Bet it Ain’t So
Bet it Ain’t So ~~~~~ Please, breathe deeply and let it all go. Why worry about how little you know? Sit back and relax and go with the flow, Like you are buried neck-deep in snow. Unless you’re loaded, rolling in dough, You don’t count, case you don’t know. Wage-slaves, drones held down below, Have […]
