Just the Same
What is the frown I see upon your mug? It looks like someone really needs a hug That someone you refer to has a name Please use it; I’ll take that hug just the same
Neverending
Will we Grow, Grow up Grow old, Grow old Together In all weather Woven, weaving A tapestry Joined, cleaving Or a shroud Grieving, giving, Dying, living Out loud Friend, lover Mover, cover Shielding all, Memories Times, signs Lightening, thunder Torn asunder Torn apart Hearts shred Mere threads Tatters, blood Splatters, Should we Clutch tight, fight […]
Let Us
Let us spew more bigotry and hate Into our sad and psychotic world I mean, quick, before it’s too late Words, bombs bullets to be hurled Terror, disaster, anxiety all around The news so black you cannot see No matter what you say or you do Storm clouds obscure your visibility Try to get seen, […]
Just How it Goes
I’m an old white guy I shouldn’t rap If I even try They’ll call it crap But I am troubled In every way My stress is doubled On every day Terror and fright On the news Each and every night Not my views Toil and strife It creeps inside Through every orifice Nowhere to hide […]
Blood of Your Blood
Do family gatherings make you scream, Sometimes so bad that you turn mean? You have to wonder if you are related; When it is time to leave, you’re elated Some drink to excess, are bigots, drunks Angry at life; you must bear their junk No matter how calm you try to act, be Beliefs so […]

Anticipation
I sing the tune without notes Life, air, water, love and hate Urgent laughter, birds and boats Indrawn breath which all await Star birth and truth glowing Shadows contrast, seeds scatter Wafting aloft; a river flowing Small feet, rain go pitter-patter Glorious crescendo in minor key Within, without, all together Alone, contained, a stormy sea […]
World Out of Balance
I have heard, I have the same amount of time As all of those famous folks who came before That handful celebrated in prose and rhyme Why then do I feel stressed down to my core Our world is faster paced than prior folk faced Not better, not worse, necessarily, but changed I’m sure for […]
Love Galore – Boston, 2015
I offer this verse to laud greater Boston today. For the first time, two LGBT groups banded together with Boston’s Irish to march in the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade. They say everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. This year, Boston’s laudable gesture bolsters truth. Love Galore – Boston, 2015 Large green brewskys tipped […]
Many Lovely Things
Coming to terms with the world at small. Do you think that means anything at all? Time: construct for cosmic construction. Pimple on God’s face: a pustule eruction. We say, hey Mom, hey Mom, look at this. We’re hushed, pushed away, just ignored. How can anyone simply ignore our bliss? Till time passed retorts not […]
