Symbol versus Reality

~~~~~ Two score and seven years ago, I understood that money was only a symbol. I knew each transaction brought value to my door. I traded pieces of paper and bits of metal to bring home food, clothing, medicine and ornament. Young, not yet twenty, I got it. I understood that the system was rigged […]

Do Not Worry

~~~~~ Do not worry. We will get it back again. But so will they. Be cool, walk, run, stand, sit; it always works out that way. What’s scarce always waxes. what’s glutted always wanes. That’s sure as death and taxes and I admit that this explains How we find our life now and perhaps many […]

At Our Best

~~~~~ If I were to choose to write a song, Should I be able to find the notes? I’ve not been musical my life long, Whatever that knowledge connotes. I was never arty; now I’m a painter Who knows what life holds in time. Time doesn’t stop, no restraint here, Thus, over time, I learned […]

Always Climbing

~~~~~ However long I have to wait until I know, What question is the one to ask, never mind. The answer will lead to another question, so I will keep searching to see what I will find, Since, when I have found IT, it will change. That’s just the way life works, at most times; […]

That is what I would have done. At least, what I should have said. If you had been other than the one, What might’ve I said or done, instead? See more of my creative offerings and opinions at: Brent Harris Fine Art Philip Brent Digital Art Vida Voices Scriggler TPM

Stanley Moon’s Lament

Well, the cat is talking smack again, Don’t know if it’s complaint or plea. No one does, might be about Spain. Most likely what we all say, love me.

I Would Choose

Shall we now, forever, no longer pretend That we have done anything less than sinned? Whether stumbling through our ignorance, From our hubris or through fate or history. If saints all, we would still plead unaware Of acting less than noble, acting like we care. Not everyone in every time, beginning until now But so […]

What is There to Lose?

~~~~~ Soldier straight, Their brother stands, Their sister stands. While they reach out Their untouched hands. We step beneath Their outstretched arms, Unable to imagine all Myriad and costly harms. Cost of life, of hope, in pain Dwarfing any envisioned gain Humankind is anything but kind. We need but look to find Animal, vegetable and […]

I Wonder?

What would I do with me, without you? Do any of us know what would be true? More than I was, less than I have been, A piece of me missing, no nib in my pen. Scratching at life but leaving no mark, Like rubbing two sticks, without spark. Words are too weak, should I […]

Elemental

Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Elemental ~~~~~ Now, we sing hymns of praise, preach sermons of damnation. Who do we laud? Who do we curse? We pretend we march in lockstep, tied together in a three-legged race attacking and retreating. Some people run, fight to finish first, […]
