What Do We Fear?
4 Questions Concerning the Fate of Humanity It is not a question of who we have been or even who we are now. It’s a question of who we become. More importantly, it’s whether we choose or whether we continue to embrace the pain and chaos we manifest and appear to revel in, in our […]
I Wonder Why
Why do I bother to care about gun violence? The recent Umpqua Community College shootings near Roseburg, Oregon but one more in the continuing occurrences of similar and related school shootings. While shocking and disgusting, the news also left me feeling numb. Whether you set the number of school shootings, starting with Sandy Hook, as […]
You Cannot Know
We need not raise our voices That would hardly be civilized I mean we’re not talking of war Not even talking rumors of war Simply calculating profit and loss Guns sales as profits, lives as loss It is only criminal if we’re caught When at war; so when are we not Yours are the lives […]
Bet It Ain’t So
Please, breathe deeply and let it all go Why worry about how little you know? Sit back and relax and go with the flow Like you are buried neck-deep in snow Unless you’re loaded, rolling in dough You don’t count, case you don’t know Wage-slaves, drones held down below Have a drink, toke, a nose […]

We’re Gone;
Everything’s rapidly growing worse It is true in prose, it is true in verse We’ll all party until we finally drop Time will show us we’re not on top Let’s dance across the sands of time To discover that it is just quick-lime Or sink into the slime and the ooze It does not matter […]
Look of Wonder
Oh for the look of amazed wonder Which can be seen in a child’s eyes When it’s all new, here and yonder They’ve not learned to hate, despise Over time, it all becomes mundane As you excel at talking in your head Your world narrows, cannot explain Only hear your own chatter instead When you […]
