Recess
The bell rings for recess
The kids go to play
But little do they know
This will be their last day
They're laughing and singing
And all having fun
'Til a stranger shows up
With a loaded machine gun
They don't know why he's here
There's no time to ask
He pulls down the trigger
And carries out his sick task
Innocent lives lost
The shells gleam in the sun
The man's taken down
But the damage is now done
Why are people so evil?
This whole world's a mess
All these kids wanted
Was...

Campfire Sky
Campfire sky,
while I'm driving by.
Swerve to avoid high lava tides.
Flags get shot down, attempting to prove pride.
Stillness in the movement,
with eyes open wide.
It is to my surprise,
the fight will never end.
We are all going to die.

Rensaku: Tanka In Times Of Terror

but some are lost souls

a woman on the freeway
careful, concentrates
traffic slows, the radio,
a gun pointed at her head

She Loves Me; He Loves Me Not
I'm so in love with her.
I wish had someone to love me.
When I meet her on the street, she looks through me like nobody’s there.
I wish I could meet somebody that cared.
She’s so beautiful.
I’m nothing but a wall flower.
A guy like me would never have a chance with a girl like her.
My biological clock is about ready to stop. I should’ve tried to hook-up with a guy years ago when I had the chance.
I know what I’ll do, I’ll buy her flowers.
What lovely apricot roses, but who is this ‘Anonymous?'
I’ll send her...

Teardrop
My
biggest
fear
at that
particular
juncture
was
re-living
the 80s,
which is why I told the pharm d-I’m gonna chalk my losses on this. I don’t want to create a situation jumping back and forth. Official girl street gangs were actually worse than boys; I remembered. Well now, there’s 2 America’s one where there’s uh every 2 or something years a mass casualty school shooting and uh the other urban low grade consistent gun fire Mostly (capital M) during hot summer months..it’s a human issue…but hs was a horror story-all...

Handling
Speaking of handling fire arms
Its equal opportunity.
We’re not funny like that
Different location
With different connotations
Per capita
Survival, hunting, sporting
Showcasing, impressing,
Faction of visibility/survival
Heading off heartless
Ways of the world
Let me get somebody
Before they get me,
Heading off social classes
That rejected whoever
Mad about gym shoes
Fila is what sticks out clearly
We’re old, old enough anytime I can
Remember the first ...

Who Shot The Rose?
One more dreamer
Flower girl
Peddling promise
Pistoled
One less rose scented sidewalk
to shepherd the senseless
into sanctuary
Hit by a stray bullet
NRA to save bullets?
She tried to write away bullets
Award winning writer rose called Parks
Little Rosa Parks
Front seat, furious for freedom
Dodging delinquent gunfire daily ...

Donations
Every week I'm asked for donations
for worthy causes although my sympathy
is for the reasons such as the plasticization
of the oceans, the vanishing bees and etc.
I find myself unable to send money firstly
because I have only a small pension if I could
I would have sent money to everyone.
My only offer is to write about the havoc
we are causing to our world, and I shudder
to think when our excreta becomes packed
in plastic and the fish drowning in our
pollution that so quickly can be stopped.

Garbage
I never refer to any human being as a dog because it's offensive to dogs.
Human beings are grotesque. Human beings are garbage.
We spend our lives trying to be something that we are not, fearing who we can't be and often meeting that reality with hostility and violence.
Like a flame, difference scares us and we succumb to the mammalian instinct to stomp it out like panicked gorillas.
Dogs aim to be one thing: dogs. They don't want to be the best. They just want to be good. They just want to love and be loved.

An Early One...Two Punch From Ole Man Winter...

No more black & blues, Orange
Poets place prisms in
People so pupils lose Prejudice
And white light becomes
A polychromatic presence of peace
We are hippie tie dye bring sunrise
playing congas in smeared war paint
Singing “We Shall Overcome”
with Joan Baez
Like King’s dream
On live stream
and Tupac’s black president
Pigmenting promise even after his position
MINORITIES,
We won the mother...
