Buy and Bye
Can you tell us of days, our future cast How we fared and how long did we last Not really important in the grand scheme Everything changes; know what I mean All of our glories and all of our horrors Blink of an eye; so much less than hours We all think we matter; I’m […]
Get Along With You
All of us Pawns In a world Full of Sound and Fury With overtones Undertones Key changes Abrupt screams Staccato bullets Muffled by Frail flesh Silenced forever Leaving Rivulets red Brains, gore, guts Belying any Intelligence Fellow feeling Promoting Hatred Shouted at us Until We go mad Forget The tragedy Is not Intolerance Paranoia Fear […]

At Last
Come, admit we’ve made our world absurd We but scurrying ants guarding our anthills Playing make-believe, as kings of our castles Not worthy to be jesters, only play the fools I will happily tell you that I’ve got your nose You have cut off your nose to spite your face My taunt is only used […]

Isn’t That Odd?
How then may I write? How can I stop Made for this time, now and none other To sharpen my razor on a broken strop World deep enough in drek to smother People who lead lie, serve their agenda Believe in their scriptures, not their god No choice, no one real, each a pretender Laws […]
An Immodest Proposal
Sadly, this will be the second time I will have posted this piece on this date, the third anniversary of the Newtown murders (the first to fall on a school day). Because many tragic deaths continue to occur, I have vowed to mark this tragic date, in this manner, until such time as we come […]
