POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Every once in a while, inspiration will come to me and make me start writing. Even though I do not write very often, I could not do without it.

To put on a mask
Is just to ask
Do you enjoy the lie that you're living?
Why do you dig the grave that you're digging?
What would you do for a life worth living?
Tell me then,
What would you be?
Dead or Living?

O Woman!
O Woman!
Speak!
Shout!
Yell!
Your voice
Though it seems
So low
Speak!
Shout!
Yell!
Let them know
That you
Are woman
Speak!
Shout!
Yell!
Let your voice be heard!
Through the grasslands of the Serengeti
In the swelling waters of the Mississippi
Past the scorching sands of the Gobi
High above the Pyrenees.
Speak!
Shout!
Yell!
In the Godless cities
Paved with fear and hate
In dark alleyways
Where the dead
And the desperate
Congregate...
Speak!
Shout!
Yell!
Your voice
Though it seems
So low
Speak!
Shout!
Yell!
Let them know
That you
Are woman
Speak!
Shout!
Yell!
Let your voice be heard!
Through the grasslands of the Serengeti
In the swelling waters of the Mississippi
Past the scorching sands of the Gobi
High above the Pyrenees.
Speak!
Shout!
Yell!
In the Godless cities
Paved with fear and hate
In dark alleyways
Where the dead
And the desperate
Congregate...

Ignorance is Bliss?
They say ignorance is bliss
But for a world full of ignorant people
Everyone's sure uptight
But for a world full of ignorant people
Everyone's sure uptight

Blood in the Street
Brother, have you heard the news today?
There is blood in the street.
There is no drum
There is no beat
Just blood in the street
"Brother, are you sure that's the news today? It wasn't on E News. I was watching 'The Kardashians' and they never mentioned it. Brother have you taken your 'One a Day' All natural multivitamin? Brother, are you sure that's the news? I certainly didn't see that in this month's 'People Magazine'. I don't even think there's an app for that."
Brother Listen!
Didn't you here the news today?
The president...
