A Better View
I often wonder, how did we get into this mess I mean, we did not choose to grow our brain Who decides to confront predators, such stress Sharp fang and claw, able to cause acute pain Where else in the universe, would you suppose Evolution played this little joke, what survived Not really a joke […]
This Doctor Said
I This doctor said I might be crazy No real worry, if the doc’s unsure I get twisted, my mind most mazy Will I get out; will they find a cure Well’s bottom, as water gets deep The bucket is broken, rope frayed Am I but dreaming, still fast asleep Fear to discover my candle […]
I Do Not Understand
Though I consider myself a spiritual person and the universe spiritually enlivened, I do not understand belief in god, any god. Personally, it seems a concept we use to explain what we cannot understand. We use such an imagined being or beings to grant blessings to our endeavors, no matter whether they are well-meaning and […]
Pattern Recognition
We are creatures of habits and instincts. Often, despite what we think, know or believe, we respond to our body’s chemical and hormonal cues or behaviors learned in childhood. No matter what we encounter, we face reality in ways we were taught. You’re smart, but were told you are stupid and incapable of doing anything […]
In the Key of E – Energy
Sad to say, you’ll wonder, the prince of darkness has lost his place The world outside informs me the king of darkness wears that face Or is only me who is lost, despite the daily horrors we are shown Only me and only I who believes that humanity’s sanity has flown Choices and choices upon […]
This Property Condemned
It was the third house on a far block Framed-up on a little dead-end street We thought it was ours, but no lock Just being built and almost complete Still, we went and talked to the owner Who allowed that he’d built it for us Refusal would have been such a boner We said we […]
No Word
An LI friend recently post an article about influences, both those we are told should be and those we know who have been. #All people matter. How many names will not be remembered What numberless stories will never get told Life on the Earth, with no guaranteed word No one may remember when you grow […]
What Do I Know?
Do you believe in magic, elves, fairy-folk and such? Or do you scoff and scorn, think it’s all too much? So smart, you know that you can rule out anything? Disbelieve the intent of galaxies, say stars don’t sing? I hope I’m not so pompous, I’d discount possibility Our most tragic tale unto our most […]
Worlds Enough and Time
Everywhere I look, stories of our current condition and perilous plight greet my eyes. Economic collapse, massive unemployment, infrastructure degradation, environmental destruction and the not so gradual collapse of life as we know it. On every front we have war and rumors of war, terrorists foreign and domestic, religious jihad, political statement, killer cops, cop […]
Children’s Duty
How lovely a bouquet of yellow daffodils In a clear glass vase, their stems cut short Die the sooner, their life and beauty stills Though death comes to all life, no resort From the far field we hear a loud report Death stalks the killing fields, watches all Knowing the lives of children, he’ll abort […]
