Some Old Miser
Why must our television shows be so lurid, Video games blood-splattered in crime, war? Is it evil buried in our psyche or in our id? Think we crack a whip, make the tiger roar? The game is rigged, tiger behind every door No matter our choice, streamed, disc or vid, Murder, mayhem our drug, demands […]

Beneath the Skin
Beneath the Skin Espresso confusing, pronounced expresso Reflects our hurry through over-busy lives Pillar to post, back again, we ferociously go Worker bees, consumers return to our hives Professed beliefs belie our daily intolerance Which is usually much less than skin deep Yet we all move to the same diurnal dance Wake up in the […]
Neck Deep in the Big Bloody
OR What It’s Not About (Warning: This piece runs over 3,700 words. If you do not feel you can read it all, I urge you to read as much as you can, plus the intro and conclusions.) I’m finding it difficult to wrap my head around the insanity I see on the news and in […]
