Choices
~~~~~ Will I choose to wax political again? What vile offenses do my fears abet? I halted, when rhetoric grew insane., At night, I wonder if our sun has set, And if, at the end, only I will remain, all alone, when me they come to get? ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity […]
Too Late Considered
~~~~~ Home Complex confusing and contentious conversations may prevail, when sundry family members to the wide world do disperse. Traveling from home-based roots, trekking far beyond the pale. lessons learned young may not survive from cradle to hearse. Or lessons taught are planted deep, rooting values far too well. When elders change their diet, cultivating […]

What Need?
~~~~~ I heard a question most recently, which, I must say puzzled me. Seriously, someone asked, you see, what do we have any need, jeez, for tigers to walk among the trees? And while I pondered, I realized, I could never, ever compromise. So, seriously, I ask you now, why, what need have tigers wandering […]
This, Too, Shall Pass

What you label yourself is much less important than what you believe. Can you tell me why you believe, what you believe and why […]
All Go Forth
~~~~~ Do we resurrect heroes from ages lost, invent them anew, some with souls? They might tilt only at wind turbines. Simpler folk, times, yet, more aware. Gift us magic, hope, light in darkness. Life is never found without darkness, nor is death ever found without light. This we know but hide from ourselves. Seeking […]
Choose to Live
~~~~~ When you think life has given you the right to carp, moan and whine, that life gives others a better view, leave pity outside, you will be fine. If you have problems quite severe, Your life won’t be better in a sewer. You are sick, tired, rent is in arrears, attitude, distance from trier […]

See more […]
What We Need?
~~~~~ Video games train us, violence, murder, hand eye coordination. Mayhem’s future, except, perhaps, we have not reached, reach far enough into tomorrow. Into all our tomorrows, extrapolated final effects. So much; too, too, too much death, destruction. A random boy, twelve-years-old, tells us he likes to play, play Leona, feminine, heroin. A killing machine, […]
