At Our Peril

Whenever you hear a baby’s cry Do you imagine someone will die Not cause, effect, nor imperative Life’s answer to what death gives Pondering such questions, no fear But simply the fact that I am here Some do not question what, why Don’t they marvel at the night sky Are they then, creatures of the […]

A Better View

I often wonder, how did we get into this mess I mean, we did not choose to grow our brain Who decides to confront predators, such stress Sharp fang and claw, able to cause acute pain Where else in the universe, would you suppose Evolution played this little joke, what survived Not really a joke […]

This Doctor Said

I This doctor said I might be crazy No real worry, if the doc’s unsure I get twisted, my mind most mazy Will I get out; will they find a cure Well’s bottom, as water gets deep The bucket is broken, rope frayed Am I but dreaming, still fast asleep Fear to discover my candle […]

I Do Not Understand

Though I consider myself a spiritual person and the universe spiritually enlivened, I do not understand belief in god, any god. Personally, it seems a concept we use to explain what we cannot understand.

No matter what we encounter, we face reality in ways we were taught. You’re smart, but were told you are stupid and incapable of doing anything […]

In the Key of E – Energy

Sad to say, you’ll wonder, the prince of darkness has lost his place The world outside informs me the king of darkness wears that face Or is only me who is lost, despite the daily horrors we are shown Only me and only I who believes that humanity’s sanity has flown Choices and choices upon […]

A Better View

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 […]
