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. Yet land was plentiful and early hominids could find more distant areas to forage and […]
Take Your Chances
So you pays your money and you takes your chance That is something I have been told, though not read Along the way you may learn the steps to the dance Hope you will master them, before you end up dead Many cute descriptions, we use to describe our lives A dance, a ride, a […]
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 […]

My Hymn
There are so many things to do, to start All the online petitions that I should sign Lots I should take from my shopping cart As I twiddle my thumbs in the grocery line Too much meat, too much sugar, I know Too many causes clamor for my attention Barely energy to wipe myself, when […]
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
World Out of Balance
I have heard, I have the same amount of time As all of those famous folks who came before That handful celebrated in prose and rhyme Why then do I feel stressed down to my core Our world is faster paced than prior folk faced Not better, not worse, necessarily, but changed I’m sure for […]
Cheap Bead on a Necklace of Stars
When will we say enough is more than enough Will it be before our world, life cries, “time out” Will we be told, exit the stage, leave all our stuff Never convinced we knew what our play’s about Where have we gone wrong in the deeps of time Perhaps, a wrong person took a rock […]
