Eat, Drink, and be Merry!
Your anger will unbalance you
Claimed all the wise men ever,
And your soul, with hell, misconstrue,
To think bitterness is clever.
That's evil's favorite recipe
For getting humans off their game
And is just as bogus as can be
To try and have me be the same.
It's levity that people love
And maintaining a happy mood
As if we were a hungry dove
Pecking apart a sack of food!
Our preference is for merriment
Provided no one will get hurt
Or witness their life savings spent
Chasing a floozy in a skirt,
But even that's a...
Claimed all the wise men ever,

Sundown, Sunshine
"But you misread my meanin' when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light......"Elton John
No cause for alarm; I certainly mean you no harm
Just thought we might have been walking along the same road-I didn't have no particular place to go.
Your words and thoughts found me
captured my interest and astounded me
....thought that might have been a reason to be but the only one to think that was me and I'm sorry
And the sun will rise again, I'll be more careful this time my friend.

What is it I'm hearing
The Adhan?
The word itself means "to listen"
Is it really dawn?
Unclear voices..
The roosters keep cloaking..
Cold wind blows..
Earlier that morning
02:00AM
Who's this fortune teller?
Who sings well when am dreaming at night?
Dreaming within...

Maybe Tomorrow
Fingers point towards incompetence
When someone has to tow the line
Without logic it doesn’t make sense
These parasites can’t grow a spine
Addicts gamble on sex and drugs
Whatever gets them through the night
Skin is crawling with corporate bugs
Keeping the real issues out of sight
Deathbed confessions eliminate lies
So everyone can connect the dots
Spider needs to catch a lot of flies
Weaving webs that tangle us in knots
Maybe tomorrow we wake up for real
With enough time left to finally heal
When someone has to tow the line
Without logic it doesn’t make sense
These parasites can’t grow a spine
Addicts gamble on sex and drugs
Whatever gets them through the night
Skin is crawling with corporate bugs
Keeping the real issues out of sight
Deathbed confessions eliminate lies
So everyone can connect the dots
Spider needs to catch a lot of flies
Weaving webs that tangle us in knots
Maybe tomorrow we wake up for real
With enough time left to finally heal

Father
Father where am I now that you are dust
Are my bones the sunken treasure of your legacy?
Your ghost follows my shadow
like a leper lost in an apothecary of the soul
Who wore a uniform
like a centurion flying on eagle’s wings
On a Hellenic march
to an acropolis of the mind
Where you languished with Mom
in Drachma beatitude
For an unbearable silence
broken by cat murmur
When mercy was a flower
in the shade of a Doric column
