Some Old Miser
Why must our television shows be so lurid, Video games blood-splattered in crime, war? Is it evil buried in our psyche or in our id? Think we crack a whip, make the tiger roar? The game is rigged, tiger behind every door No matter our choice, streamed, disc or vid, Murder, mayhem our drug, demands […]
Have I Told You?

How then may I write? How can I stop Made for this time, now and none other To sharpen my razor on a broken strop World deep enough in drek to smother People who lead lie, serve their agenda Believe in their scriptures, not their god No choice, no one real, each a pretender Laws […]
