Poet Introduction
it is seeds that i try to sow within the words that i write
Faltering Steps
To Love
Thyself
I must first try
to understand
Thyself
to begin
with faltering steps
to look within
Thyself
to strip away
the pretence
of being
Thyself
to finally see
what it means
to be
Yourself

The Bridge
One cannot
bring upon the shame
to those
with no empathy
to those
who arrogantly with violence
refuse
to take the blame
for the pain they give
to others
Who believe
that simple logical reasoning
is all they need
to show them the way
though the valleys
of broken political promises
trying to build
the bridge of truth
over the rivers
of corrupted media
to the mountains
where they can begin
to teach the youth
bring upon the shame
to those
with no empathy
to those
who arrogantly with violence
refuse
to take the blame
for the pain they give
to others

Can We Stand
Can we stand the shame
within our conscious
bringing back those memory's
Can we stand the strain
within our feelings
where our shadow thinking lives
We pass the days
trying to be
what our T.V gives
We pass the blame
on those people
who never believe
what the media speaks
Are we so strange
Now that some of us
are together
with our heart in our head
we can see things
that make
us
think
Life is Dead
Can we stand the pain
when We
look
at We ...

The Mark
Could it not be
that we all
have the mark
of the beast
invisible in speech
yet
our actions prove
it exists
Could it not be
true
that to become
the nature
of the two legged beast
is to ignore
what is hard
to believe
to passively destroy
the very things
we need
to live
to allow others
to confuse
what really is
that we all
have the mark
of the beast
invisible in speech
yet
our actions prove
it exists
Could it not be
true
that to become
the nature
of the two legged beast
is to ignore
what is hard
to believe
to passively destroy
the very things
we need
to live
to allow others
to confuse
what really is

Concerts
Why is it
when thousands
of us
go to a concert
we become one
yet
when we leave
we become
fractured
we become
undone
we quietly forget
that feeling
of unity
that feeling
of respect
that feeling
of being
that feeling
of feeling
We Are One
when thousands
of us
go to a concert
we become one
yet

we become
fractured
we become
undone
we quietly forget
that feeling
of unity
that feeling
of respect
that feeling
of being
that feeling
of feeling
We Are One

Confused
Could you tell me
I'm a little confused
who is it
that deserves my empathy
and my help
those
who put their life
on the line
for the children
or those
who I see
in soaps movies
and sports
Everyday

My Child
My child
when you try
to be
what you see
on the T.V
when your
wishful thinking
demands
you should be
so you can collect
all the pretty things
that you see
you will never
be happy
within
that comfortable place
where you could begin
to be
what your deep
inner feelings

Trying to Convert
Why is it
we have no
religious rights
to be human
to be Free
from Persecution
Free
from Humiliation
Free from being
psychologically burnt
at the stake
for speaking
about things
that should not be
Being
a human being
in this system
today
is like the Cathars
of old
Persecuted
Humiliated
dragged
though the internet
Abused
laughed at
for connecting the dots
on why
people are leaving
their children's future
to rot
while we

Thankful
I hate to say it
but it's true
even
with all the inner pain
the despair
the sad loss of friendships
the shouting within
the darkness
of my own ignorance
the walking this lonely path
of becoming aware
the true meaning
of caring for someone
the watching
with painful eyes
of things
that should not be
slowly
walking through the fire
that burns me
within
I am thankful
for my conscience
that hassles me
night and day
to stay the course
to continue
to be

Three Within One
Could it
conceivably be
that there is
on this planet today
three types
of Homo Sapiens
all mixed together
upright walking apes
the first
are the lizard brain mentality
people
who have no empathy
for anyone
or anything
amongst these people
there are those who wear
their mask of pretend
very well
the second of these species
of homo sapiens
upright walking apes
are the chimpanzee mentality
people
who live in the shallow waters
of life
and most will live and die ...

It's a Sin
Only sin
can wash away
your pain
the sin
of daring
to be
what you claim
to be
Human

Before We Leave
Being in heaven
is the day you meet
someone
who wants you
because
you are you
who wants
what they can feel
behind
what they can see
before we leave
for our final
Destination
stardust
In the spiritual wind
is the day you meet
someone
who wants you
because
you are you
who wants
what they can feel
behind
what they can see
before we leave
for our final
Destination
stardust
In the spiritual wind
