    Kim Jong Un weighs in

    Donald Trump must be our guy

  • Hypocrites And Fools

    June 1, 2016

    Hypocrites and fools

    We look to them for guidance

    What did we expect

    When lies came ‘round to bite us

    I hope the Kool-Aid was good

  • 50 Word Story – Cardboard Roof

    May 24, 2016

    The cardboard roof does little to keep the icy rain and bone-chilling cold from compounding his pain.  Looked upon as a piece of worthless trash, he is invisible to passersby..

    Perhaps if they realized they were just one paycheck away from his Hell, they’d offer him a bit more sympathy.

  • O’ The Tangled Web

    May 24, 2016

    O’ the tangled web

    Woven for personal gain

    Clouding our judgement

    Until we find it’s too late

    And regret has bankrupt us

    This, the path we choose

    Chosen many times before

    Has not deterred us

    We are creatures of habit

    Believing a fool’s wisdom

  • 100 Word Story: The Alley

    May 17, 2016

    The torturous heat and putrid stagnant air was eerie and sickening as I cut through the alley.  The smell of rotting garbage carried by steam emitted from god-knows-where had me second-guessing my choice of shortcuts.  

    Halfway through my journey the sound of a shrieking cat and the tipping of a trash can startled my nerves…I jumped.  Spinning around I caught a fast moving shadow streak across the alley.  

    I had enough I thought, turning and running for my life back to the relative safety of the crowded thoroughfare. Saving a few seconds travel certainly isn’t worth risking it all.

  • I Love You Young One

    May 17, 2016

    I love you young one

    Your little quirks and your laugh

    Jokes at my expense

    Being your father and friend

    Is all I could have hoped for

  • Your Beliefs Guide You…

    May 13, 2016

    Your beliefs guide you…or misguide you

    Like the dam trains the river.

    We are born to know no hate,

    No prejudice,

    No racism,

    No ascension of color,

    This must be taught…instilled

    By those who influence the young and malleable.

    Children do not see difference,

    To them a playmate is a playmate is a playmate

    Until it is ruined by age.

    O’ for us all to be children again,

    Blind to race, creed and color

    Returning the world to its purity,

    Its wonder,

    Its innocence,

    Where we all would live in peace.

  • You’re A Mystery

    May 13, 2016

    You’re a mystery

    Saying much in your silence

    Steel to a magnet

  • Cadavers Are Strewn

    May 10, 2016

    Cadavers are strewn

    Mutilated in his wake

    And then there was one

    Reality TV star

    Chosen to lead our nation

    A nation of fools

    Lost in their own arrogance

    We’re so gullible

  • Think Before You Speak

    May 10, 2016

    Think before you speak

    For words can cut like a knife

    Silence is golden
