  • Do You Know The Cost

    April 15, 2017

    Do you know the cost

    Hatred, discrimination

    Rot society

    Licensing vile factions

    To spew ugly rhetoric

     

    We hear this danger

    From the pinnacle to base

    Brothers and sisters

    Singled out for their difference

    Treated as misfits…pariahs

     

    Leadership for all

    A political promise

    Faded at “I will”

    We’re racing to the bottom

    Tethered to an ignorant

     

    Explain your blindness

    Your willingness to sell out

    Friends and family

    On the words of a blowhard

    Who we now call President

  • Heavenly Sun Wanes

    April 12, 2017

    Heavenly sun wanes,

    Applauded by dusk’s silence…

    Ovation of gods!

    Cherished by the lowliest,

    Taken for granted by man.

    ~

    Without any thought,

    We reap her fruitful bounty

    With veracity.

    ~

    An ungrateful child

    Would offer her greater thanks…

    Yet we laud her not.

    Perhaps it’s human nature

    Or maybe we’re simply fools.

    ~

  • End Game

    April 11, 2017

    Ego reared it’s ugly head

    Needing a way to feed

    Demanding sustenance in blood.

     

    Gone is thoughtful consideration

    At the hands of incompetence.

    Maybe lawful consensus before launch would have

    Esured our moral justification…what now?

  • Brother Against Brother

    April 10, 2017

    Brother against brother,

    Sister against sister,

    Words that divide.

    Idealogues and pundits

    Preaching their truths;

    Do they profit from their lies

    Or are they blinded by delusion,

    We will never know which.

    This does not excuse us.

    Aren’t we obligated to discern,

    Isn’t this what it means to be informed?

    It appears we’ve forgotten,

    Submitting to partisan experts,

    Who feed what we want to hear

    To our otherwise deaf ears.

  • Ironwood Blossoms

    Ironwood blossoms

    Fragrant after spring time rains

    Victim of summer

  • Hate And Genocide

    April 9, 2017

    Hate and genocide

    Born out of Cain’s sinful rage

    Still we’re plagued today

    Finding new ways to murder

    Has become man’s obsession

  • Silence Of Winter

    December 23, 2016

    Silence of winter

    Snow falling softly to earth

    Reminder of peace

    In a world full of torment

    In this we must take solace

  • Awash In The Swamp

    December 22, 2016

    Awash in the swamp, he’d supposed to drain

    His promises proved lies now shown;

    Oligarchs and thieves fall down as the rain

    Your hopes and your dreams turned to stone.

     

    We told you, we told you not to believe

    This carnival barker cloaked in Versace;

    Give it some time as I’m certain you’ll grieve

    With your tears as they spoil your latte.

     

    Prepare for the change that will turn back our time

    To an age where our rights had no rights;

    It’s you that will suffer for your ignorant crime

    My greatest hopes’ that you lose sleep at night,

     

    You’ve sold out our country with no care for her souls and left it in the hands of a jackal.

    I hope you are happy as he rakes us o’er the coals while he and his ilk writhe and cackle.

  • Heavenly Father

    December 2, 2016

    Heavenly Father

    God to the three religions

    Why are we fighting

    Men look for reasons to hate

    In Allah, Yahweh, God’s name
