(Sung to the […]
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.

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 […]
The Other Shoe
The Other Shoe ~~~~~ In times which try you, foil your plans, do you hold on tightly, use both hands, sink ‘neath the waves, in deep despair? Hope anyone helps you; no one’s there. If days, weeks, years, the world stinks, you feel hopeless, know you’re jinxed. You see not a way to thrive or […]

Might Have Been
Might Have Been ~~~~~ Yes, we laugh at the family tortoise, find it funny they saunter so slowly. They have the same thoughts for us, so quickly gone, ere they know we. Stepping so slowly keeps them alive beyond our four score years and ten. Over time, there’s wisdom to derive. See what could be, […]
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, […]

Both have freedom to play, not pass a test; social rules block us, so we cannot respond. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and […]
Man Makes the Clothes
Man Makes the Clothes ~~~~~ Since I was small, I have so often heard it said, clothes make the man, that it’s become clichéd. Dress for success, mantra many a parent chants.
