Care Enough to Ask
My mind is moiled, roiled, in turmoil and looking for a sign How can I, should I, shall I my thoughts and my deeds align To center my vision, steady my aim, get closer to my target Around the corner, in the future far away, so hard to mark it I must forget everything […]
Analyze the Reasons
Here’s a crazy thought that just jumped into my mind If what’s distant from our sight, light years in the past Could somehow make us the far-off future of our kind Be afraid, so badly we have done, in this role to be cast Would we be like future supermen to cavemen long ago […]
Screw It
Walk along with me for just a little while Away from prying eyes Perhaps we’ll walk along the ocean’s shore To muddle prying ears A raucous bar tonight might also fill the bill Over a couple of beers Please don’t talk to me while I’m at home Or if we should meet Or call […]
Full Circle
Stones, sticks, bones, clubs and a handy sling With the limited destruction they could bring Led to spears and chiseled points to pierce Killed bigger game made us feel more fierce Poles, staffs, and staves brought combat closer Man to man, forget the hunt, don’t be the loser Dagger, dirk, stiletto, knife, cleaver and […]
What We Always Knew
What We Always Knew “How can I move forward, when I don’t know which way I’m facing?” John Lennon These words, so true Set my heart racing With all I’ve learned Know how to do and Cool and useful stuff I can make, why never Have I felt comfortable With life, or even the Direction […]

1816 I feel the fool tonight, though certain I hope we will crush in its birth My words, sentiments echo The aristocracy of our moneyed corporations Statesmen, leaders long dead Which dare already to challenge Why should now be otherwise Our government to a trial of strength Yet otherwise it has become And bid […]
Glad We’re Here
Blinded by the news, the views The games and claims of fame, Jihads, land grabs, liberation occupations It’s hard to completely understand The continued good of nations I know the arguments, initial reasons For these and other conventions to From ourselves protect us, each one All of these same arguments Have been made long before […]
They Were Too Bright
What price sacrifice, what test passed, what good forgone? Do we know what to choose or if we’ve travelled far enough? Are we alone in interstellar space, do we race the setting sun? This can’t be; the glint of unshed tears in our eyes, a bluff? Calculated actions all designed to elicit a tender […]
Crusade to End Public Torture
More certain and more frightening than death and taxes More pervasive, deadly and inevitable than a pandemic It will drive you buttier than a batterfly, watch the nets Wag your finger, shake your fist, hang your head and cry The presentation may be good, but you’ve seen it all before If you ever liked […]
The Swansong of William Theodore Peacock?
The Swansong of William Theodore Peacock? Stop up my ears and cover my eyes Redeem me from the nightly news From their blatant, calculated lies To the men behind the curtain, pay Pay no attention So-called leaders, smoke and mirrors Sleight of hand, misdirection and distraction Shall I evoke the message, style From an earlier […]
