Peace O' My Mind
foot holds span the hills
sense the flow
torrents of emotion
carry the woe
to the sea
of tranquility

And The Devil Smiled On
When an enemy's friend
must be our enemy as well
we shut out all possibilities
and set ajar the gates of hell
must be our enemy as well
we shut out all possibilities
and set ajar the gates of hell

The Rejection's Final Tally
I've come to believe people don't vote the candidate they want
They reject the one they don't want more.
But then, you probably knew that already
They reject the one they don't want more.
But then, you probably knew that already

The Problem With Love
The dilemma within a loving relationship
unlike a race to the grave...
is where neither wish to take another step
nor finish last

f**k Grandma?
standing at the granule shore
time lapping at your feet
tides bring so many ones adored
then away it sweeps
beware the hour, oh my child
'til present days do ebb
hold close your bits of treasure
postpone the time of dread
A lot of shit out there to read
who knows what's true or not
just the fact some think "Me First"
gets my collar hot
to wear a mask while we're out
seems such a small gift offered
perhaps another's loved one saved
by acts of "pay it forward"
So think...

Free Speech(less)
Difficult
to respond
through gritted teeth
or to those words
you've dropped
at your feet.

Middle Man
A little to the left
but not too far
somewhat to the right
yet only ajar
through traffic so brutal
the pace he did keep
ignoring the horns
and incessant beeps
by keeping centered
roadkill was dismissed
keeping him sane
'til life's precipice
the moral implied
not hard to deduct
watch how you travel
and beware the . . . . .

Government
If you're happy with the direction government is moving,
and looking forward to better days
Beware,
for you can rest assured
someone else isn't
and looking forward to better days
Beware,
for you can rest assured

Life Amongst The Woodlands
when a right was wronged
trees bent against the wind
when a wrong was righted
trees bent against the wind
Oft it's the forest that doesn't see the trees.

Under Construction
Always a line around the corner looking to get
dealers of something for nothing
purveyors of happy ever after
painting pretty pictures on a rotting corpus
who'll cum and go on a life
flies and lies their only gifts
duct taped hole in a seeping chest
bubble gum and bailing wire bandages
blind reckoning of an
acid soaked heart
nothing for everything
scrapped Soul?

Mother Nature's attempt at leveling the playing field.
Mankind = multiple millions
Mother Nature = Not even close.
