Simply This
Simply This ~~~~~ Could I withstand a thousand blows, while they brought me to my knees? No matter if they’re real, metaphoric; it’s all the same, to me, if you please. It’s not my body which must survive but my spark of spirit carried within. We see people who suffer every sin, far greater than […]
More Than
More Than ~~~~~ How will we ever know what is right, Despite what our hierophants preach? How do we keep our fiery hope alight? Our answer’s unknown, but we reach. If a word, god, didn’t exist, now, ever, I cannot imagine the need to coin one. This may prove wrong, yet I’m clever. At night […]
Three-Letter Folk
Three-Letter Folk ~~~~~ We’ve absolutely no idea how our world may change, Despite those who have wild hairs of how to rearrange. Someone, may push a button, start the last of our wars. Perhaps we finally see the dream of having flying cars. What of the three-letter agencies hidden in plain sight, Who tell us […]
Just How It Goes
Just How It Goes ~~~~~ I’m an old white guy, I shouldn’t rap. If I even try, They’ll call it crap. But I am troubled, In every way. My stress is doubled, On every day. Terror and fright On the news, Each and every night, But not my views. Toil and strife, It creeps inside […]
WWWWW+H
WWWWW+H ~~~~~ Who are you, when you’re not truly you? Who do people see, when they’re with you? Who would you be, if you could be anyone? Who is it, others have chosen you must be? What will happen, if you don’t like yourself? What role do you play, do you play the most? What […]
Blue Screen Cafes
Blue Screen Cafes ~~~~~ What do expect, from texts, Just the usual suspects? How would that be, With life the fee? Head down, Smile or frown, Attention, intention locked In a little box, a pox. Yet only letters in a row, Like any word we don’t know. Shorthand, perhaps, But often slaps. Is there reason […]
Who Calls the Tune?
Who Calls the Tune? ~~~~~ Despite how brilliant, how noble I think my thoughts, Guarding how gracious, grand, I envision my dreams. Futility wraps them in a cerement, as small minds plot, Hate, fear, want, murder shape all their selfish schemes. I believe I can change the world, if just my little corner; I strive to […]
Ever Live in Fear
Ever Live in Fear ~~~~~ How will we decide what to do, what to think, what we’ll think, In a world of conflicting opinions, way too much information? While we caper and cavort blindfolded, oh, so close to the brink, Believing we’re so ordinary, nothing extraordinary can be done. When actions are performed beyond the […]
Small and Petty
Small and Petty ~~~~~ Find, for me, a small and petty god. One grown right from my local sod. Who, as me, thinks, acts and looks. Who can be branded by the books. A proper deity, for me, should sate The horded hunger I have for hate. Teach spare the rod, spoil the child, Make […]
As All
As All ~~~~~ Captured the cosmos twinkling in a tyke’s eye, today. From somewhere foreign, immersing us in infinity. Religious, political refugees swallowing us in silence, different, skin, class, orientation defined. Strange, strained, altogether alien, fascinating but frightening. So similar, still, Dissimilar, diverse, exceptionally enigmatic, leaving us lost, besieged, bothered tourists in transit. Realize we […]
