  • Reaping What We Sow

    June 30, 2015

    Reaping what we sow;

    Hatred only breeds hatred

    As history proves.

    See the neverending wars,

    The eternal racism.

     

    Turning a blind eye;

    Pretending it doesn’t live

    Does not make it true.

    Ever since nine eleven

    War has been never ceasing.

     

    Ferguson…murder,

    Baltimore, New York City

    Charleston…again murder!

    Racial hatred at its worst,

    Plantation mentality.

     

    This land of the free

    Has sadly become a myth…

    Just look at the news.

    We are in shackles to war,

    Racism, hatred and greed.

     

    Sadly we don’t see

    We are mice on the treadmill

    Blindly taking bait.

    I guess it really is true…

    We are reaping what we’ve sown.

    Voice of singing bowl

    Heavenly source for healing

    Soothing vibration

  • What Lives Within Us

    June 29, 2015

    What lives within us,

    Deep beneath skin’s shallowness?

    Beauty is finite

    Where the senses are concerned.

     

    Time eats away at our flesh…

    No one is immune.

    The mirror lies to the young.

     

    Tricked by ignorance

    They believe it’s forever.

    Surely age doth prove them wrong

    As it has done for eons.

     

    Better spent is time

    Seeing the beauty within.

    Love and compassion,

    They have no physical bounds…

    They cannot be kept.

    These are things of true beauty,

    Things cherished for a lifetime.

     

    Given with no material cost,

    But having immeasurable value

    These are what are precious to me.

     

    This is the beauty,

    That lies deep within.

  • Lindsey Graham

    Little man

    Inspiring fear,

    Nostradamus of the Senate.

    Do you see into the future?

    Selling your snake oil to the masses

    Even you can’t believe your own spiel,

    Yammering on about how tough you are.

     

    Give up already,

    Recycled warmongering is getting old.

    Aren’t you exhausted,

    Haven’t your policies done enough damage?

    America should be a beacon of peace not of violence.

    Maybe it’s time for you to go.

  • Laid to Final Rest

    June 26, 2015

    Laid to final rest

    With a farewell and kind words.

    Eulogies given;

    The famous and powerful

    Came to pay their last respects.

     

    But is this enough,

    We’ve been down this road before;

    It’s paved with their blood.

    Is this just more lip service

    Paid to appease the people?

     

    As the saying goes,

    Actions speak louder than words,

    This can’t be denied.

    Maybe the edge has been reached

    Finally putting an end to the hate.

     

    Only time will tell

    If these deaths have been for naught.

    With man at the wheel

    Anything is possible,

    But I for one hope for change.

  • Love Between Adults

    June 26, 2015

    Love between adults

    Confirmed by the Supreme Court

    Can you say “I do”

    Equality is granted

    As it always should have been

    How can we think we’re alone

    Is there life out there

    The sounds of nature

    Ominous in the darkness

    Fear of the unknown

    She sees what I can’t

    Knowing what I only sensed

    My life’s destiny

    Revealed by a mystics eye

    An intuitive minds lens
