One Voice
One Voice ~~~~~ When did we substitute hubris for style; do you think it is simply my aesthetic? When I see straight lines, I cannot smile, near carved entablature; it’s so pathetic. Although, I’m only one voice in this song, I believe we sacrificed our artistry for ego. Even though future years prove me […]
All the Rest
All the Rest ~~~~~ Why do people think peace implies boring sameness? The cosmos where we live is composed of opposites. We will never have everyone thinking the same way, Nor would we ever even want to, if the truth be told. But opposition is no way required equal violence. On, off, hot,cold and whatever […]
Reason to Ask
Reason to Ask ~~~~~ Let us sit down quietly, gathered all together. Let us speak what’s vital, wind and weather. Listen, the trees that shade us, are our home. Bless beings we eat, wear, the grass and loam. Sit peacefully, talking rarely, in gentle voices, opening our true being to embrace all choices. Acknowledge our […]
Fear and Loathing
~~~~~ Saw a movie about people who acted bravely in the face of hatred and bigotry they could not understand. But what is there to know about bigotry and hatred? It stays the same year to year. When I give my answer, some of you will sneer, repeat pundits, bloviated. I say hatred, bigotry […]

Horse Behind the Cart
Horse Behind the Cart ~~~~~ If we made our lives open to reading, music, art, how would we choose, decide where we’d start? Never liked classical, like the Saturday cartoons, Hated rock, jazz, still, to Muzak you hum tunes? Presentation wrong? Nothing works in every age, not times around the sun, how each fills the […]
Learning Curve
Learning Curve ~~~~~ We’ve waited so long to fix the world It’s now chaos, nothing but confusion. And, I’m talking about infrastructure, new rides, smooth rides, making sure water’s clean, not mixed with sewage. I cringe to believe we think we’ll fix damage we’ve done, speeding cycles, cold and heat, our planet undergoes. I marvel, […]
On a Bus to Nowhere
On a Bus to Nowhere ~~~~~ As we are all and all are us, if we rise or fall. why make a fuss? Eating daily is nice Clothing, shelter, too. Haves and have-nots but at what price, selfish, greedy people jump the queue? How do the rest of us, who far outnumber those we grant […]
Red Shifted
Red Shifted ~~~~~ 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. A plane’s gone missing, […]
