Even When, We Must
We must celebrate what’s good, but expose what is wrong We must never be complacent; say the day cannot be won We must guard the gains we garner, no matter how small Even the smallest light, the tiniest step forward benefits all We must fight against the fossils who pull us back in time We […]
We Will Tell You
Join the revolution, turn and turn and turn Around, follow the sound, watch the birdie Which direction looks right; watch, learn Bet it all on just one card, down and dirty Watch all the ads and pay strict attention Get in the line now and march to the beat With the explosions, fast cuts, pretension […]
Last Note
One more bullet shot from one more gun You’re sure this must be the very last one Yet, once more death and once more pain And you know it will start all start again One more bomb falls from one more sky Is there really a reason for us to ask why One more terrorist […]

Blessing of Age
Hours, I stood waiting, hours which felt like days to my knees and ankles. I wanted to scream, but the pain in my joints had reached such a banshee wail, I wondered that others didn’t hear it as well. Despite the best-laid plans, I arrived between three and four am and nowhere near the front […]
A New Way
Talk to me; foretell my future Mired ‘neath murky clouds Shades of black and gray No more bright sun Limns the shadow What portends our pretense? Is it more Than happenstance? Will we ever Change the steps Of our fell dance? While peacocks preen Clean each feather Display their plumage For each other In […]
Life Lessons
A fireplace in a solid home, wooden mantle and surround Fluting, details in the wood and built-in shelves either side Mementoes from this life, ancestors, previous generations History contained memories, feeling felt within sentiment Meanings, we understand, more important than money Have more significance than any goods real or imagined Yet, one day these memories […]
