No More Games
One day I stopped hating
I ceased all meaningless activity
I completed the circle
I set my sights straight
Like an arrow I flew
I stopped acting
I got tired of playing with you
Violence & destruction became my reason for living
My out, my excuse
What is your excuse?
Destruction
Without hate, without fear, without judgement
I am no better then you
No one knows this better then I do
I just got tired of playing parlor games
I ceased all meaningless activity
I completed the circle
I set my sights straight
Like an arrow I flew
I stopped acting
I got tired of playing with you
Violence & destruction became my reason for living
My out, my excuse
What is your excuse?
Destruction
Without hate, without fear, without judgement
I am no better then you
No one knows this better then I do
I just got tired of playing parlor games

courage
there is dignity still. yes there is courage
sadness peaks and overpours it must be expressed
let notes of powerful beauty explain
bombs and guns can not silence the soul of the brave
the blood of humanity will cry out to the heavens, hear the Ukraine
rising on the winds to reach the hearts of others
yes, I'm still here, feel my pain
in the tall of my back I am speaking to the downtrodden and afraid
music soothing the frayed spirits
for a moment transported to better days
in an instant all the joyous days spent playing...

LEADER Acrostic
NEEDED
Regardless of the
direction you choose
to look, there is a
desperate need for
leadership on all levels,
among all people. Here
is a little acrostic I share
with my team.
WHAT IS A LEADER?
A leader...
L-eads himself FIRST
E-nthusiastic for cause/misson
A-ttitude set of positive
D-elegates responsibilities
E-mpowers others
R-eaches clear outcome objectives.
We desperately need leaders
who will lead from the front,
not the rear ... we use to have
these kind of leaders,...

STRONG WOMAN OR MAN
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words. ✍️ For what I want to say affects, each of us in it's own personal, ways about how you think. 🤨 WHAT you want and WHAT you need, to be honest with thyself. As in life and love. 💓

and energy to keep the home, fires 🔥 burning for so ever bright. For sure let's just keep it real for we all have wants and needs, for sure don't you...

Mollusca Man
A snail on track..
Slow and steady wins you race..
Some of us don't win it..
Slow-steady keeps us safe..
I'm the Mollusc snail..
I have my shell..
I want this race to get some pace..
Your need for speed..
Against my need for shield..
We start this race..

There is No Password
Flying under the radar
Off course on purpose
Blackened wings
Off the grid
If you want to find me
There is no password
But there is a code
Remember what I told you
My protectors are none
My allies have faded
My course is clear
New frontiers await
Off course on purpose
Blackened wings
Off the grid
If you want to find me
There is no password
But there is a code
Remember what I told you
My protectors are none
My allies have faded
My course is clear
New frontiers await

I'LL GET YOUR PECKER UP
I'll get your pecker up,
I'm giving you a cup
Of aphrodisiac.
You'll fire well in the sack!
When you have drunk it down
We'll be heard around town
When we've broken the bed
As you serve pencil lead.
I'm giving you a cup

Zeal
The shadows have darker shadows on the path unknown.
Surrounded by people, I'm always alone.
No passengers on this journey.
On a starless night odyssey.
To find the known in my bone.
Coated in the resilient sparkle of lessons
learned.
Pain is purpose revealed.
Nestled deep in the horrors is buried the zeal.
Surrounded by people, I'm always alone.
No passengers on this journey.
On a starless night odyssey.
To find the known in my bone.
Coated in the resilient sparkle of lessons
learned.
Pain is purpose revealed.
Nestled deep in the horrors is buried the zeal.

The Forge of Thought
Every soul is a spectrum nexus
No matter who they are or where they are from
Even, God help us, from hapless Texas
Where a lone star glows for every bum.
There as here one can never tell
If it's to heaven the spectrum leads
Or if it's a nexus link to hell
Where only glorified horror proceeds
And psychic entropy soon sets in
To devastate all the hope you had
With retrogressing labels of sin
And omens evermore ironclad
By a forge of thought in endless fetters...
Unencumbered...by the realm of letters!
No matter who they are or where they are from

Where only glorified horror proceeds
And psychic entropy soon sets in
To devastate all the hope you had
With retrogressing labels of sin
And omens evermore ironclad
By a forge of thought in endless fetters...
Unencumbered...by the realm of letters!

the agony of healing...
it's so hard witnessing someone choosing to not even try
raising razor-wire around their mind
thinking it's protection...
...but it's not...
...it's restrictive...constricting
blocking out any semblance of true sight
welcoming the blindness taking hold of their inner eye
gouging out reality with cannibalistic claws
while through parted fingers they jealously watch
as others gather the tatters of their own damaged lives
...and carefully rebuild
sewing seams in need of healing
discarding scraps no longer needed
