Choices
~~~~~ Will I choose to wax political again? What vile offenses do my fears abet? I halted, when rhetoric grew insane., At night, I wonder if our sun has set, And if, at the end, only I will remain, all alone, when me they come to get? ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity […]
The Human

Human! spurning right Will you vanish in the night? When mortal weapon, hand or spree Shall end thee for eternity. […]
Want Vs. Care
~~~~~ For want of a seed, the shoot was lost. For want of a shoot, the plant was lost. For want of a plant, the flower was lost. For want of a flower, the bee was lost. For want of a bee, the plant was lost. For want of a plant, the food was lost. […]
Spark is to Blaze
~~~~~ If we will surround ourselves with beauty, music, art, words, focus, positive feelings, deeds, and what we may offer others. Tell our constant truth, our own. Truth which comes from within.

Into all our tomorrows, extrapolated final effects. So much; too, too, too much death, destruction. A random boy, twelve-years-old, tells us he likes to play, play Leona, feminine, heroin. A killing machine, […]

How Foolish We’ve Become
~~~~~ He walked through town, Late one afternoon, Wearing a Cheshire smile. I asked him, “why?” And he said, “Come walk with me awhile.” We walked on, Looking for a dark street, A lawn, an open field, Somewhere we could stand Or sit, or lie. Manufactured light, Obscured, occulted, A phrase turned oddly, I thought; […]
Ask Only One Question
~~~~~ Give me now the cheerfulness and fearlessness of our youth, Back when we knew they were our lives, embodied our truth. Towels we used to make super hero capes with paper masks; Innocence our strength to conquer all our Sisyphithian tasks. Heroes all, though one day as Indians, the next day cowboys. Imagination’s fires […]

~~~~~ Our world, full of liars; some are good and some bad. Decide, does it really matter? Storytellers, since ancient times, have spun multiple stories, which never ever were.
