Despite Expectations
Could it be that I have found and lost my way Will it all change tomorrow, or stay like today Mostly I have questions, while answers I offer None will make you powerful nor fill a coffer Does anyone know right questions or answers The sinking Titanic; don’t disturb the dancers Take me to your […]
Worlds Enough and Time
Everywhere I look, stories of our current condition and perilous plight greet my eyes. Economic collapse, massive unemployment, infrastructure degradation, environmental destruction and the not so gradual collapse of life as we know it. On every front we have war and rumors of war, terrorists foreign and domestic, religious jihad, political statement, killer cops, cop […]
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.

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 […]
On the Home Front
We brand ourselves, the land of the brave and home of the free So proud, as we ignore our own ignorance, hatred and, bigotry Decrying machine-gun maniacs, who murder on bloody sprees While we’re Earth’s premiere purveyor of advanced weaponry So righteous, the people who slander one who’d help by decree Nor would it matter […]
Bully’s Lament
Generosity of spirit flies, fills the world Each giving to the extent of their ability Each receiving to the level of their need Not a social utopia; humanity’s maturity May we be allowed to mature, can it be Children now, bullies, rules a fluid tome One way only, our rules, toys, hill, tree If you […]
Nowhere We Belong
Would that we could, that we might, that we may Find the one true path we might follow one day Until that day, we will wander and stumble along More steps lost than gained, nowhere we belong
Circular
My heart seeks answers To questions I do not know Know to ask or answer No, musings I do not Understand understanding I cannot ponder Wonder which I cannot conceive Tenants of faith I do not believe Existence, nonexistence Always, ever Always never Everywhere, nowhere Yet always, always In the center A pawn of fate […]
