Corrupt righteousness
Acting with omnipotence
Is pure ignorance
Destroying lives without shame
Leaving ruin in its wake

A Vicious Mistress
A vicious mistress
Blood red with sharpness of spine
How thirsty the rose

Look What I’ve Become
Look what I’ve become
Politics made me rigid
Intolerant me
~
Opposing views annoy me
Bringing out my darker side
~
And I have to say
I don’t like it one little bit
It disappoints me

Freedom Of Speech Hurts
Freedom of speech hurts
When offered with hate in mind.
Pious hypocrites,
You hide behind religion
Twisting the words of your God!
What would Christ have done!
He’d overturn your tables
And dump your self righteous coins
Like the vile money changers in your book
That’s what comes to mind
In the end, who will be judged
You or those you persecute?
Perhaps a look in the mirror is in order.

Bitterest Of Pills
Bitterest of pills
I swallowed without consent
And now I’m choking.
With every day that passes
I pray for civility
Only to suffer
The pains of disappointment.
Will I ever learn…
I doubt that I ever will,
But there’s no harm in hoping.
Trying to temper
My passion for politics,
Where lies don’t matter,
Compassion signals weakness
And right and left never meet.

100 Word Story – Hate At The Parade
Quoting chapter and verse from god knows what imaginary Bible, you condemned the innocent to eternal damnation through the screeching of your megaphone. Still under the banner of the rainbow they marched defiantly with smiles on their faces and love in their hearts for you and all in attendance.
Could it be that this is more virtuous in the eyes of Christ than the hate that spews from your blasphemous mouth. Maybe next time you should take the time to read your precious New Testament and ask yourself…
What would Jesus do?
Gives you food for thought now doesn’t it?

Coolness Of Morning

Dew envelops everything
Rain clouds have stormed off

Our Collective Soul
Our collective soul
Lies buried in the rubble
Of hate, greed and lies.
One day we will rise from ash
Like the fiery Phoenix.
Enlightened, wiser,
Perhaps we will see we’re one,
Made of flesh and bone.
How sad that we must suffer
Before we open our eyes.

Living Peacefully
Living peacefully
In sync with nature’s beauty
Fulfilled without cost

It Was Funny Once
It was funny once,
But it isn’t funny now;
Personal attacks.
Congratulations! We are
The laughing-stock of the world.
Trying to look tough
We’ve made ourselves look foolish.
Racism and hate,
Islamophobia, greed,
We are an embarrassment.
This is uncalled for!
Leaders of the free world
Do not act this way.
Hop back into your clown
Cars and rejoin your circus.
