You’re Not
~~~~~ No longer will we require any high-school senior To recognize the words sagacious or prevaricator. I do not think that’s wise, to say I do, I’d be a liar, As the dumber we become, the lower we’ll aspire. The only smart things we’ll own are phones, cars And really, both are more intelligent than […]
Your Turn
~~~~~ Once a lonely child dreamed the universe. While it could be better, it could be worse. Now it’s your turn, what will you choose to do, If creating the cosmos is left up to only you? ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment […]
By Any Other Name
~~~~~ Would miracles be or seem, by any other name, so grand? Miraculous, magical, names for what we don’t understand. Magic, for some speaks evil, dark powers we cannot define. Miracles, equally mysterious, argued as proof of the divine. Minds shut so tightly, some refuse to heed any dissertation; Faith in their own unknown eschews […]

This I Know
~~~~~ This man writes constantly about peace and war. What is he saying? Writes and writes some more, has he become a bore? He abjures praying. He is trying to point out we’re more than broken. How we balk. Does he think he’s the only one who’s played this token? Is it all just talk? […]
Who We Believe
~~~~~ Pause now, take time to walk along city streets. Stroll down brassy, brightly-lit boulevards, Preening, peering at all our distorted reflections From shop windows, blank-eyed passers-by. Captured in and by the lenses of CCTV cameras. Do not stare nor act furtive, collar upturned, hide, Do not ever let them suspect what lurks inside. Somewhere, […]
Exactly

If your mind is elsewhere, Then you’ll not venture far. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think. See more of my creative offerings and opinions […]
Does It Matter?
~~~~~ 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. Perhaps they happened not in the way the tales were told, adding drama, for effect, So as to seek the deepest truth of who we are, […]
I Choose Peace
~~~~~ When in our life we reach an age, a need, a trial, a test, the razor’s edge, Delving deeper, pondering, reflecting, remembering, planning, hoping Denying, angry, we bargain, we grieve while craving peace, acceptance Until we understand acceptance is a choice, with nothing and much to say I wonder the reason for my being, […]
