You’re Not
~~~~~ No longer will we require any high-school senior To recognize the words sagacious or prevaricator. I do not think that’s wise, to say I do, I’d be a liar, As the dumber we become, the lower we’ll aspire. The only smart things we’ll own are phones, cars And really, both are more intelligent than […]
By Any Other Name
~~~~~ Would miracles be or seem, by any other name, so grand? Miraculous, magical, names for what we don’t understand. Magic, for some speaks evil, dark powers we cannot define. Miracles, equally mysterious, argued as proof of the divine. Minds shut so tightly, some refuse to heed any dissertation; Faith in their own unknown eschews […]
Magic
~~~~~ We harness magic in discovery That turns to dust upon a map Becomes a battle to the death When our discoveries overlap ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think. See more of my creative offerings and […]
This I Know
~~~~~ This man writes constantly about peace and war. What is he saying? Writes and writes some more, has he become a bore? He abjures praying. He is trying to point out we’re more than broken. How we balk. Does he think he’s the only one who’s played this token? Is it all just talk? […]
Who We Believe
~~~~~ Pause now, take time to walk along city streets. Stroll down brassy, brightly-lit boulevards, Preening, peering at all our distorted reflections From shop windows, blank-eyed passers-by. Captured in and by the lenses of CCTV cameras. Do not stare nor act furtive, collar upturned, hide, Do not ever let them suspect what lurks inside. Somewhere, […]
Does It Matter?
~~~~~ Our world, full of liars; some are good and some bad. Decide, does it really matter? Storytellers, since ancient times, have spun multiple stories, which never ever were. Perhaps they happened not in the way the tales were told, adding drama, for effect, So as to seek the deepest truth of who we are, […]
I Choose Peace
~~~~~ When in our life we reach an age, a need, a trial, a test, the razor’s edge, Delving deeper, pondering, reflecting, remembering, planning, hoping Denying, angry, we bargain, we grieve while craving peace, acceptance Until we understand acceptance is a choice, with nothing and much to say I wonder the reason for my being, […]
When Fear Fades
~~~~~ When fear fades, what will I discover Maybe another person the same as me One who struggles to meet like needs Who seeks the same answers that I do When anger fades, who will I become Will I learn to be patient, quiet, to wait Never to merely speak, but to converse To think, […]
In the Key of E – Energy
~~~~~ Sad to say, you’ll wonder, the prince of darkness has lost his place The world outside informs me the king of darkness wears that face Or is it only me who is lost, despite the daily horrors we are shown Only me and only I who believes that humanity’s sanity has flown Choices and […]
In This Instant
~~~~~ Wherever humans have been, there has been war In this instant there is time to change how we are Wherever humans have been, there has been peace In this instant there is time to let all conflict cease Wherever humans have been, we ward community In this instant there is time to know all […]
