People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Pushing on and pushing through, like a train climbing a mountain. The water in any fountain, seeking heights and falling down.

Cracking an Egg

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ This poem cannot be a broken egg. This poem cannot be a glorious sunrise. This poem cannot trim my big toenail.

Greater Your Rage

Search For the Hopeful Refrain

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ It might be time now to begin again,my dear, to think and talk and swear we’re here.

Freely Late

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Look within the darkness to discover the light, the bright truth of all creation, hope and loss, loss of salvation.
