ode underwater

I've got this listing, sinking feeling that I owed most of my life to my bank. Hands in the air, reaching for debt ceiling, yet another fine mess, with no one to thank. Guns all put down, the pen reigns mightier can't fight the bank, let alone

Two birds of prey

Two birds of prey…

Two birds of prey… are hitched to my buggy, One white, one black, The white one represents the love that surrounds, The black one, the murkiness that diminishes me, that draws me into the illusion…, They’re forever in a contest for my allegiance

Belief in fact

Belief in fact

A poem about perspective. Once a group of people believe something, it is near impossible to convince them otherwise. You can present "facts"; they have their own "facts". There is no unalterable way to prove who's right or wrong, because the concept of right and wrong itself is human and flawed. As a result we have "belief", and war over blame and ideology, i.e. :"We believe that it's wrong to kill as X nation does, so we have to kill as many of them as we can". Or executing someone for murder. It's ludicrous.

So Few are They Whose Legion is Peace

MONSTER

This song was written around 1968 during the heyday of Vietnam and national unrest. But, I feel it can be applied to any time frame, or to any nation for that matter. Tears filled my eyes as I typed this, just as they always have when I would hear the song. I was going to write a long-winded dissertation of the futility of humanity, but I am afraid there wouldn't be the space available. I will say this...there is little that is humane about humanity. Yes, there are pockets of folks and a few organizations that at least try to help their brother, but they have become and probably always were merely a proverbial 'drop in the bucket'. Wish we could fill that bucket...
