Where You Find It
Creative venues, I’ve sometimes said, inspire Me, to there create, ignite a spark of living fire Whether this expresses me as a saint or a liar From mud pies, imaginary games, till I expire Yet, mud pies return to earth and man to dust If drawn to a monk’s meditation or carnal lust
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 […]
Recently
Recently, I heard it said Out of body life our lot Though, you say it’s not We oft live in our head
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 […]

Soon Inevitably
Soon comes the view upon high Cityscape spreading before me Colors in my mind linger nigh Our museum trip worth the fee Vibrant glory brings restoration Reminds me what life is worth Inquiry, art kinds of exploration Requires us to boldly step forth Not all journeys must we travel Yet they all seek some discovery […]
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 […]
