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 Not my views Toil and strife It creeps inside Through every orifice Nowhere to hide […]
Canvassing
Many believe we come into this world table rasa I think we’re not a blank slate, but a white canvas White looks quite stark, but contains all the colors Throughout life, we scrape off some, add others Painted canvas, like puzzle pieces, fill in life’s tale No matter where we start or end, it’s the […]
My Hymn
There are so many things to do, to start All the online petitions that I should sign Lots I should take from my shopping cart As I twiddle my thumbs in the grocery line Too much meat, too much sugar, I know Too many causes clamor for my attention Barely energy to wipe myself, when […]
Morning Lark
How will people of the future see The people who are alive this day Will they ken we act no differently We’re what we do, not what we say I believe it is not the words I write But that I share my hopes and fears Exploring this, our common plight Hope my words may […]

Would that we could, that we might, that we may Find the one true path we might follow one day Until that day, we will wander and stumble along More steps lost than gained, nowhere we belong

World Out of Balance
I have heard, I have the same amount of time As all of those famous folks who came before That handful celebrated in prose and rhyme Why then do I feel stressed down to my core Our world is faster paced than prior folk faced Not better, not worse, necessarily, but changed I’m sure for […]
Many Lovely Things
Coming to terms with the world at small. Do you think that means anything at all? Time: construct for cosmic construction. Pimple on God’s face: a pustule eruction. We say, hey Mom, hey Mom, look at this. We’re hushed, pushed away, just ignored. How can anyone simply ignore our bliss? Till time passed retorts not […]
Coping Strategy
We do what we can and we do what we must Time, like a fickle storm, blows a random gust Space beyond our ken, in our imagination sings Each morning amazes us and new glory brings While we grow ever madder, really quite insane A narrow scope over which our perceptions reign Analyze what lies […]
