Simply This
Simply This ~~~~~ Could I withstand a thousand blows, while they brought me to my knees? No matter if they’re real, metaphoric; it’s all the same, to me, if you please. It’s not my body which must survive but my spark of spirit carried within. We see people who suffer every sin, far greater than […]
More Than
More Than ~~~~~ How will we ever know what is right, Despite what our hierophants preach? How do we keep our fiery hope alight? Our answer’s unknown, but we reach. If a word, god, didn’t exist, now, ever, I cannot imagine the need to coin one. This may prove wrong, yet I’m clever. At night […]
Day for Night
Day for Night ~~~~~ My life awaits the light of day, though it is not currently night. By day, I mean knowing the way to turn my darkness into light. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think. […]
Pieces and Parts
Pieces and Parts ~~~~~ I will play one last piece, each time, before I depart. Until I take the stage anew. I will sit a while in peace, and choose my new part. I’ve been me; could I be you? ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, […]
By Your Choices
By Your Choices ~~~~~ I grasp 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 just on my pants. Chasing after truth by concocting lies, Mystic brews that obscure and reveal. All my victories, failures and my tries, Perchance […]
My Secret Treasure
My Secret Treasure ~~~~~ Digging a deep hole, I find my darkness grows, “No way out,” they say, “But through.” Pretty sure I’ll burn, Long before I tunnel through The Earth. Time to change Direction, but which way? Should I turn, Follow my nose, Or wait for a sign, A glimmer in darkness, A will-o-wisp, […]
Just How It Goes
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, But not my views. Toil and strife, It creeps inside […]
Blue Screen Cafes
Blue Screen Cafes ~~~~~ What do expect, from texts, Just the usual suspects? How would that be, With life the fee? Head down, Smile or frown, Attention, intention locked In a little box, a pox. Yet only letters in a row, Like any word we don’t know. Shorthand, perhaps, But often slaps. Is there reason […]
Ever Live in Fear
Ever Live in Fear ~~~~~ How will we decide what to do, what to think, what we’ll think, In a world of conflicting opinions, way too much information? While we caper and cavort blindfolded, oh, so close to the brink, Believing we’re so ordinary, nothing extraordinary can be done. When actions are performed beyond the […]
Brightly Blaze the Stars
Brightly Blaze the Stars ~~~~~ Mentioned rarely in polite conversation, I follow you around. You will never see or hear me, because I never make a sound. Unknown land where I will someday lead you, an adventure; Sometimes I’ll snatch you unprepared, curtail your time here. Still, whether slow, sudden, I choose always the correct […]
