This Doctor Said
I This doctor said I might be crazy No real worry, if the doc’s unsure I get twisted, my mind most mazy Will I get out; will they find a cure Well’s bottom, as water gets deep The bucket is broken, rope frayed Am I but dreaming, still fast asleep Fear to discover my candle […]
I Do Not Understand
Though I consider myself a spiritual person and the universe spiritually enlivened, I do not understand belief in god, any god. Personally, it seems a concept we use to explain what we cannot understand. We use such an imagined being or beings to grant blessings to our endeavors, no matter whether they are well-meaning and […]
A Better View
I often wonder, how did we get into this mess I mean, we did not choose to grow our brain Who decides to confront predators, such stress Sharp fang and claw, able to cause acute pain Where else in the universe, would you suppose Evolution played this little joke, what survived Not really a joke […]
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, feel […]
This Property Condemned
It was the third house on a far block Framed-up on a little dead-end street We thought it was ours, but no lock Just being built and almost complete Still, we went and talked to the owner Who allowed that he’d built it for us Refusal would have been such a boner We said we […]
Outside Straight
Who named our potentates in charge to date There’ll be others, after we fill our final crate Will it ever matter who we put atop that slate Held to the grindstone their egos won’t ablate We allow them to keep us in a confused state Rush here, there, back again, as if we are late […]
What are We Supposed to Do?
Prejudice, religious and racial intolerance, terrorism, murder, war and greed are said to have existed almost from the moment Homo sapiens first walked upright. Territorial imperatives and tribalism came to exist and I’m sure disputes sometimes arose between neighboring groups. Yet land was plentiful and early hominids could find more distant areas to forage and […]
Winter Wind Blows
Sometimes it is so simple to feel depressed Just maintaining an even keel a big success Bleak views of our ills constantly accessed Slip into a tortoise shell, hide in that recess I am run down, tired of facing terror, fear In the world and what is happening here Clamor for us to find a […]
Take Your Chances
So you pays your money and you takes your chance That is something I have been told, though not read Along the way you may learn the steps to the dance Hope you will master them, before you end up dead Many cute descriptions, we use to describe our lives A dance, a ride, a […]
Are Men Nuts?
The subjugation of women drives me nuts Just because men fear empowered women Keep women down, no ifs or ands or buts Threatened, if women don’t bow to them I mean, men haven’t done a great job so far Trashed the planet like at a crazy frat party Play with guns, rape, murder, start new […]
