★SPIRIT VOICES★
Lounging lazily along the beach Bound to speak what’s on my mind I could be denied my right to free speech As what I say might be unkind For those who would be confronted With facts they don’t want to hear Might very well be affronted If the spotlight is too clear Imagining what all […]
★GENOCIDAL★
Spend the days counting The death toll keeps mounting So there you have genocide We’re all committing suicide With consequences despoiled After all the years we’ve toiled All the lamentations Over starvation and amputations Homes bombed, burned and looted Gardens and olive trees uprooted As if it ever really mattered All the hopes of lives […]
★WITH A PEEP★
Where is our attention span? Lost it playing a game of charades As the clock lost its minute hand Betting it all on a game of spades So for an eye for another eye Turning it another shade of blue So as time slips rapidly by Who would say what we should do? How wrong […]
★ABSOTIVELY★
I just heard the most hilarious thing: Ghetto Woman’s Starter Kit — Super eyelashes Extra long hair Fake fingernails Loud, aggressive mannerisms Combative disposition Heaven help us!
★VIETNAM SAGA★
Scattered to the cities Where they don’t want to be Fighting desperate battles With the diesel rain And their anguished pain So far from one another Spending endless days Far over the sea Watch them burn in the Sun’s flames Only playing games And while close to one another Dancing deadly shadows Whirling tornadoes Chasing […]
★BAKING BISCUITS★
I know you asking why? ‘Cause I could have been a dancer But could hardly even try For I didn’t have an answer No thrills, no kills, and no spills Is what I do all the live long day No ills, no pills, and no doctor’s bill It’s all that I have to say I […]
★PATERNITY★
What my pa thought disaster In his first faltering attempt As he was quite a task master And no one was the least exempt Ma and him was fooling around Back in ’47 during the post-war When quite suddenly they found The need they had for a pastor Nine months passed quickly A girl named […]
★FOOLERY★
My mother deemed me a romantic Of which she did not approve But it did not make me frantic It’s where I found my groove There was sometimes frustration When the loving was getting rather lean And then there was satisfaction During the times that were in between I always got along just well enough […]
★LUMINENEX★
If in the brilliance of the cosmos A star transforms the darkness, Be in transition of the provost, Commonality of the starkness. With infusion and insight, Just a moment that’s inherent, Across a spectacular bright, In rhetoric that is so apparent. Forms a grandiose bridge Into the realm of understanding Along a most rugged ridge, […]
★CROSSED★
Last night I cried so hard,I believe I caught a chill.My soul is racked and my heart won’t stand still,I’m just broken down and losing all of my will. Life has turned against me,It’s going all uphill.Why can’t they just let those ol’ good times roll,Let my love free to fly just like a flag […]
