Outside Straight
Who named our potentates in charge to date There’ll be others, after we fill our final crate Will it ever matter who we put atop that slate Held to the grindstone their egos won’t ablate We allow them to keep us in a confused state Rush here, there, back again, as if we are late […]
What are We Supposed to Do?
Prejudice, religious and racial intolerance, terrorism, murder, war and greed are said to have existed almost from the moment Homo sapiens first walked upright. Territorial imperatives and tribalism came to exist and I’m sure disputes sometimes arose between neighboring groups. Yet land was plentiful and early hominids could find more distant areas to forage and […]
Winter Wind Blows
Sometimes it is so simple to feel depressed Just maintaining an even keel a big success Bleak views of our ills constantly accessed Slip into a tortoise shell, hide in that recess I am run down, tired of facing terror, fear In the world and what is happening here Clamor for us to find a […]
Take Your Chances
So you pays your money and you takes your chance That is something I have been told, though not read Along the way you may learn the steps to the dance Hope you will master them, before you end up dead Many cute descriptions, we use to describe our lives A dance, a ride, a […]

On the Home Front
We brand ourselves, the land of the brave and home of the free So proud, as we ignore our own ignorance, hatred and, bigotry Decrying machine-gun maniacs, who murder on bloody sprees While we’re Earth’s premiere purveyor of advanced weaponry So righteous, the people who slander one who’d help by decree Nor would it matter […]
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, […]
Bully’s Lament
Generosity of spirit flies, fills the world Each giving to the extent of their ability Each receiving to the level of their need Not a social utopia; humanity’s maturity May we be allowed to mature, can it be Children now, bullies, rules a fluid tome One way only, our rules, toys, hill, tree If you […]
My Hymn
There are so many things to do, to start All the online petitions that I should sign Lots I should take from my shopping cart As I twiddle my thumbs in the grocery line Too much meat, too much sugar, I know Too many causes clamor for my attention Barely energy to wipe myself, when […]
Nowhere We Belong
Would that we could, that we might, that we may Find the one true path we might follow one day Until that day, we will wander and stumble along More steps lost than gained, nowhere we belong
