No Doubt

No doubt, I’m quite certain More difficult than comedy Comedy, I am told, is hard To see behind the curtain Know your future homily Try, draw the winning card

I Wonder Why

Why do I bother to care about gun violence? The recent Umpqua Community College shootings near Roseburg, Oregon but one more in the continuing occurrences of similar and related school shootings. While shocking and disgusting, the news also left me feeling numb. Whether you set the number of school shootings, starting with Sandy Hook, as […]

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

Unable to Decide

When I am constantly moving, striving How may I stop feeling insane? Unable to unlock my emotional […]

Conjoined Twins

Although flies shall feast upon the face of death I don’t care to sever them from their short lives It is the natural way, we express in every breath All follow our own natures until our end arrives Yet still flies linger, called to my warm breathing Do they remind or only irritate by their […]

Advantages and Disadvantages of Age & Experience

Confidence is something you feel before you fully understand a situation. Esen alit-Quar I have heard, though yet to use the expression: Youth is wasted on the young. I understand intellectually that the energy, confidence and perceived invulnerability of youth without the experience and wisdom hopefully accrued with age appears to be a waste. I […]
