Not Anyone but Me
So, I say I am sorry I am sincere, but It doesn’t matter It does matter, but It won’t solve anything I screw up All my fault, but I snap, sometimes When called on it Flustered, angry Not at anyone But me I stew Unhappy, unclear What to do when I calm down And say […]
Because
Because I’m told I have opinions, I must. Though I don’t believe they are the opinions I’m told I must have. They believe I must be interested in politics. I am, and I have preferences of who I want in power, to win in upcoming elections. Still, no matter who gets elected, to a certain […]
It’s Time!
It’s time the bleeding stops. That’s what I heard the man on the radio say. At least that’s what I think he said, what I remember, would that I did not. He wasn’t talking about Paris, 11/13/15. Such senseless carnage, he should have been. Nor was he talking about New York City 9/11/01. He was […]

Hurry up and take your time Simple leisure is now a crime Work until your fingers bleed We will give you all you need Don’t get lazy, don’t get caught Do simply the things you ought And sip deeply your empty cup To take your time and hurry up
Redefining War and Peace

Stepping Out
All the myriad steps we take in life Number into millions, I’ve no doubt No matter where we go, what we see Many never realize what life’s about
Heirs Apparent
All the things I might have done, or seen, or known All the beings I might have been, become While strolling along a quiet esplanade The mottled green sea sparkles blue, white A painter hoping to capture this moment Holds tightly against a suddenly boisterous wind Checking the time on an antique pocket watch His […]
By Your Choices
I grasp at my time, my life, my being Like the blind men and the elephant What I perceive not what I’m seeing It may be my fire’s only on my pants Chasing after truth by concocting lies Mystic brews that obscure and reveal All my victories, failures and my tries Perchance to illuminate or […]
In All Its Lovely Raging
The ice cracks, breaks up and melts away Flowing southward from its place of birth Causing Earth to grow hot, angry each day As massive storms shout warning at earth What secrets have we found, have we lost Our ignorance has caused a stormy tirade Even now, do enough understand the cost In hubris cowering, […]
