No One
All the steps of daily life Are now no more than ever More slowly I move, my strife Remember, no one lives forever
Your Life
What we choose to hide; what we’re willing to show Live in conflict, diametrically opposed, poles apart It doesn’t matter whether we’re moving fast or slow Whether our journey is near its end or just the start Life now flashes by us in rapid fifteen second clips With staggered moments, fraught with raw emotion While […]
In Lockstep
Channeling thought, Flailing, feeling Art and music Each life opera, rock Country, blues Singing the universe Everywhere rhythms Love, laughter Anger, frustration, Failure turned to death Overshadowing hope, Joy, birth, union In brutality steeped, Insecurity sublimated Through violence News, games, murder, Terror and suicide We use guns To hide our fear Brandish them, Fire them, […]
Old Year New
If the speed at which the old year left Is something that did vex Wonder more where the baby came from That old guy would die from sex Still, no need to worry what it’s all about The new year always takes the old year out

A Fistful of Five
For those in need at home and abroad How can you believe that any of that’s healthy Because it was given me by someone wealthy Even so, you have no idea where it has been Besides, it’s not like you were given it by kin Why must you always be so nasty, so negative It’s […]
