Bloviated Gas
Good for everyone, everyone should say Except a group who hates one over there While, that group hates another, they say Good religious people taught to love, care Easy to imagine they only learned to hate Church shootings, beheadings, massacres So I don’t want to travel anywhere of late Due to fearful, old, white men, […]
We’ll Never Know
Could it be The time has come To turn away From danger False gods Snake oil sellers Dream purveyors Tall, dark strangers Offering magic Beans and rhymes Promising the moon Without regard Bartering shares Mythic bridges Unicorns and War porn, sex Pain and death Your last breath Inhale, but Never let it Get out Look […]
Make It So
Every day is a day to make new stories. Our own, the stories we alone can tell. Every day the stories we tell ourselves and others have the potential to change how we see the world, to change the world. You don’t believe me, do you, about your story? It’s true, but we must make […]
Disquieting
I speak my disquiet to the concrete and the glass To every other person which, on the lane, I pass Tell it to the trees, the birds, every blade of grass Adults so rarely listen that I tell each lad and lass Nothing comes from my dismal, despairing cries Torrents of bombs and bullets fall […]

It’s Time!
It’s time the bleeding stops. That’s what I heard the man on the radio say. At least that’s what I think he said, what I remember, would that I did not. He wasn’t talking about Paris, 11/13/15. Such senseless carnage, he should have been. Nor was he talking about New York City 9/11/01. He was […]
Redefining War and Peace
The words you will read below, with additions today, were first published here in November 2013. I believe the message is clear and illustrated daily by senseless violence around the world. PBH War, armies, death, destruction, terror, horror and fear fill our news and our days. All these are our reality and damage our peace […]
Now or in the Future
Filled with chances Wasted hours Happy times The path ahead Carries us onward Up a distant hill What Stops will we make Steps will we take Missed friends Opportunities Through fear, reason Self-treason Challenges we’ll add To our path’s trials As we climb Yearn for the crest Believing it will reveal An easy path Toward […]
