My eyes of wonder
Clouded and disillusioned
Empty promises

Look Up to the Stars
Look up to the stars
And peer into Heaven’s eyes
Your future awaits

You Must Dare To Dream
You must dare to dream
If you’re ever to succeed
Find your happiness
It’s not about the money
It’s about satisfaction

50 Word Story: Human Face of Immigration
Juan’s tears evaporate before they can run down his burned and blistered cheeks. Face down in the sand he see a vision of his wife and three small children.
What started out as a journey to freedom and a better life is now about to leave him for the vultures.

A tiny voice can be heard

Field of Dreams Mowed Down
Field of dreams mowed down
Crushed by decades of abuse
Reagan’s legacy
Trickle-down economics
Massacred the middle-class

Imagination
Imagination is…
Inspiration for the painter’s brush,
Muse for the writer’s quill,
Angst for the actor’s role,
Gas for the engine of invention,
Irreverence to the twisted of mind,
Nuance for the singers song,
Ability for those challenged,
Tenacity in the hearts of the weak,
Ingenuity in the hands of the creative,
Omniscience in the eyes of the faithful,
Nobility in the lives of the insignificant,
…And so much more.

The Wretched Gather
The wretched gather
This place of drink and of smoke
Bright lights and promise
Weeks wages folded neatly
Hidden in their Sunday best
There is no preacher
No pews, no heavenly choir
To welcome the flock
Yet hope for the future lives
In each pull, in each hand dealt
Praying for riches
To resurrect their belief
In this countries dream
