9 yr old environmentalist
Tryin to control and spray the lantern flys
Doing her part with help from Tik tok
Made up a mix to get rid of them
Dish soap n apple vinegar
Sprayed on the trees and sidewalk
Now this is where the bigotry seeps in
Man calls 911 said some little black woman
Was causing a stir
Said he doesn’t know what hell she’s doing
Scares him though
Mom went to a council hearing
Said she doesn’t want to label
But she’s black and a mom
Wants to share point of view
Man...

Being Put In (The Ground)
Being put in (the ground)
Little mans ballin
As I keep my nose to the wheel
Know it’s in him
Can’t wait til his 1st game
I watch him in wonder
Learn as much from him
As I try to give
Learn as much from him
As I try to teach
Wonder of youth
Everyone wants it
But grow up…
And you can’t get it back
As hard as we try
Gettin old really sucks
Not the knowledge…it’s great
But when your body can’t
Respond
Wonder of youth
Everyone wants it
But we grow up ...

Sitting on a Tree (In Nippon)
Sittin on a tree (in Nippon)
Fungi glows green
High in a tree
In sweet Japan
Land of shogun
Backed by samurai in the
Island of emperors
Koi in the pond and
Porcelain kimonos
Kamikaze divine wind with
Kabuki dance and martial arts
Origami with Geisha girls
Green tea sushi sake’…don’t forget ramen
Naruto and Godzilla with Pokémon
Sumo hits a baseball
Manga chasing Anime
Kobe beef so tender and savory
Sapporo had Olympics and a beer museum
A wise...

Say Genius
Say genius
Not a person
But it passes through
When we’re inspired
Strive to be a polymath
Means to give birth
To what’s inside
Genius isn’t a person
But an idea can’t keep to myself
Have to share what I felt
In that moment when a lightbulb goes off
You figured it out but it’s fleeting
Genius goes from one to another
Catch that lightning
Before it’s gone
Soul so expansive
Struck by feelings
Some say there is genius in deity
Not a person
But it passes through
When we’re inspired
Strive to be a polymath
Means to give birth
To what’s inside
Genius isn’t a person
But an idea can’t keep to myself
Have to share what I felt
In that moment when a lightbulb goes off
You figured it out but it’s fleeting
Genius goes from one to another
Catch that lightning
Before it’s gone
Soul so expansive
Struck by feelings
Some say there is genius in deity

Quake in Aleppo
Quake in Aleppo
The ground shook
And the earth stood up
Wihile the world watched
But no help will come to Aleppo
Cause a tyrant rules
With his russian fools
No help comes to Aleppo
As history crumbles
A land steeped in history
People in misery
Propped up leader assad
Is a puppet of Putin
2 year old boy buried in rubble
But he’s not saved by rubles
Or by Wagner ruthlessly
Killing the innocent’s
Puppet can’t protect his citizens
Propped up by thugs and thieves ...

Little Whiskers(Big Balls)
Little whiskers with big balls
Scurries round and leaves his sign
Let’s me know he is hanging round
Feel some affection for little one but
Can’t have him shittin and pissin
In my less than humble abode
Tiny man struttin all over
Even up on the bathtub
Just one kernel
To let me know that he knows
He’s a little man with some big balls
I set the trap but he dances around
He seems to sense what it’s all about
Tiny guy with twitching whiskers
Struts all around
Almost want to name him and ...

Red Wine and Money
Feel like the home team prevails
Perfect day to play two
Popcorn and pretzels
On
Bleachers scream home team
Grabbing some dogs and beer
Phone bet 200
Settle seat rooting for money
9th inning tied game
Buckner 1st base
Pitch in place
Man on third
Ball rolling down the line
Sets his feet
Glove almost down
Ghost ball through the 5 hole
Next day put down 20 wine and spirits
Green bottle in bag
Look down the green lens
See empty bottle

Vomiting Up
Vomiting up
Swallowing down
Walking on this blue ball
Trying not to feel small
As I hear clamoring
On the horizon
Balance of nature
Wanting to nurture
Finding things that diminish me
Slings and arrows penetrate my soul
Funerals and petals
Processions and marching bands
Having to stand up not to stand down
Involved in the righteousness
Of snakes and serpents
Involved in the righteousness of false prophets
Spiritualized proselytized
They vomit it up
As...

Processions and marching bands

Involved in the righteousness

Poison Blood
Says they’re poisoning our blood
While he poisons American me and our history
Selling lies and gold sneakers
Says you’re not one of US
When he came from land of immigrants
Father Fred born of a German barber
Land of the free what does that mean to me
They turn around and tell you when and what
You can do with your female body
Talk about freedom but all they do is close you in
If you think forward not in the past
You’re too woke you communist
Wallowing...

Insurrection Election
Insurrection to win an election
In times passed down a country tries for freedom
Give me tired and poor whatever the Green Lady says
Escaped from tyranny and monarchy
Spilled some tea into the Boston Harbor
Hopped on a horse said one if land two by sea
Crossed the Delaware in frigid conditions
Just to say we stand free among ourselves
Pen on parchment we declare we’re free men and women and we were born of immigrants
Civil wars and atomic bombs didn’t change us
We still breath to live free and...

In Front of Us
Melding metal 400000
Putting a bearing on smooth rails
Precision sailing through Panama Canal
Brush the mirror into completion
Possessive in me 200 inch disk
5 tons of glass 2 millionths of an inch perfection
Pause before barbarity task of polishing
Job is done on Mount Palomar telescoping me
Saw the life and death of stars I’m one of them
Capabilities within you it amazes me
Hubb has seen 12 billion light years in front of us
Putting a bearing on smooth rails
Precision sailing through Panama Canal
Brush the mirror into completion
Possessive in me 200 inch disk
5 tons of glass 2 millionths of an inch perfection
Pause before barbarity task of polishing
Job is done on Mount Palomar telescoping me
Saw the life and death of stars I’m one of them
Capabilities within you it amazes me
Hubb has seen 12 billion light years in front of us

Back to Love Again
How do we get back to love again
Livin in places where neighbors scream from the trees
In a time not long ago we were friends on the porch
How did we get to a place where we can’t disagree
Have to talk to them there’s no evading em
How do we live again like Humans
up is down down is up for them
Getting lost in social madness
Have to stand up one at a time
It’s hard when the Billions scream
I’m in the trees looking for me
See a vine but I don’t know if it’s real
Welcome to 2024 in...
Livin in places where neighbors scream from the trees

up is down down is up for them
Getting lost in social madness
Have to stand up one at a time

See a vine but I don’t know if it’s real
