All a grand illusion, artist’s sleight of hand, our hidden creation. Still, our steps are only preparation, practice, until we […]

Vox Clamantis in Deserto

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ This verse has been modified from one I wrote, Full Stop, in August of 2014. What will it take for our madness to stop? If it ever does.

My synapses fire, spark what fills me as I write […]

Under the Stars

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Listen to the distant sound of singing. Where you wait, you’re uncertain that such heavenly songs, will ever allow you to discover their source.

Unlike Eldritch Powers

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Sitting through the storm, warm and dry as thunder falls, lightning. crashes. As rain and wind battle for dominance. Fall, rain fall, soak the earth.

If You Haven’t Guessed

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ We search through dark caves. Hold the hand of compassion, fear, religion, whether we bow before current deities, ancient gods of war, power, and greed.
