A Wasteland of Emptiness
There is a wind blowing inside us, thru a wasteland of emptiness
Without the possibility of germinating to fulfill our potential
Our nothingness is an internal vacuum with an insatiable appetite
A black hole at our core, threatening to suck everything else in
Our lives are essentially hollow, lacking inner strength and vigor
We seem to have lost our insides somewhere
Our guts have been removed and discarded or lost
The void within gives a painful, drawn feeling to our faces
We know that we are doomed creatures, fighting hopelessly for...

Withdrawn
Built a foundation on a fault line
Temperamental bias stirs beneath
No substance dangles from the vine
Put the blade back in the sheath
When the walls tumbled down
It revealed a foolish arrogance
Under that smile lives a frown
A string-puppet born to dance
Rain pours from a dark sky
Drowning every seed planted
Promises built around a lie
Broken wishes never granted
When death comes to collect
Silence falls before the dawn
Time fades into disconnect
Existence of life withdrawn
Temperamental bias stirs beneath
No substance dangles from the vine
Put the blade back in the sheath
When the walls tumbled down
It revealed a foolish arrogance
Under that smile lives a frown
A string-puppet born to dance
Rain pours from a dark sky
Drowning every seed planted
Promises built around a lie
Broken wishes never granted
When death comes to collect
Silence falls before the dawn
Time fades into disconnect
Existence of life withdrawn

Future Human ( Box Head )
Not pretty
Possibly functional
Still in development
Technology in control
Produced without sex
Human ?
Stay tuned

One
tumblimg through eternity I look through time
assailents of friction rise and fall
sinister attention stirs, my head whips around
eyes glare into the void
designated misfortune, fated disorder
lends to the chaos in the cosmos
destructive forces spin
the wind pushes with it's brutality
heaven breathes fire
and the ground quakes
hailstorm it leaves me shaken
the elements mix
and life sprouts
needed growth happens
hearts and souls expand
political giants are brought down
something hums in the...

CENTER OF BALANCE
It's true that in this life we may never truly know what someone else, is going through in there own personal life. FOR example we all have a moment of a want and need of a helping hand from time to time ⌚ For sure it cost you nothing to have a good heart ❤️ and even a deeper spiritual soul 🙏 to connect on a positive level of energy and strength and understanding. For we all need that equal level of the center of balance of life and love. ❤️ THAT will affect us in ways that we may never truly understand, but that's alright to need and want not that...

No
Is every pleasure disguised pain?
Can we lose and yet regain
a semblance of what once we were
the essence of a him or her?
NO!!!
What once we were is in our pasts
Wisdom comes and nothing lasts
Accept what is our current form
Whatever is, is the new norm.
Can we lose and yet regain

NO!!!

Skin Game
How do you identfy Paula?
I'm white. Nearly White.
A bit of Native American.
Long ago and far away...
DOES IT MATTER?
Some other family members are mixed:
white/black & white/brown...
One married an Chinese girl twice...
Are mixed kids "told" their race?
DOES IT MATTER?
Can't we see the person...
Inside the "color"?
Does your precieved color...
determine who you are or aren't?
DOES IT MATTER?
Some people will say...
first black ball...

thoughts percolate...
my heart wants to believe the best of others
but my mind...
holds a catalogue in memory
having borne witness to evidence
entirely to the contrary
& heart views a glass half full
mind sees it half empty
in truth...
it bears the same contents
it is...what it is
as a feather
plucked from a wing
no longer capable of flight
left merely to drift
near weightless
at the mercy of a current
such is the wandering of my thoughts
where heart sighs
& minds flinches
because we...

Programmed
I'm as sure as big women barefooted or wearing footies
As cutoff jeans in trailer parks and hoods with hoodies
As Ken and Karen leaving home prepared to attack
Yes as blacks in this country having a bullseye on their back
There are kids in this world that have heard words unslurred
No difference psychologically than when crack or meth purred
Can the words be retrieved, fucking needle withdrawn to before the arm bleeds
A father of my father, mother of my mother, may have planted the seeds
Innocence met with violence is the way humanity is...
As cutoff jeans in trailer parks and hoods with hoodies
As Ken and Karen leaving home prepared to attack
Yes as blacks in this country having a bullseye on their back
There are kids in this world that have heard words unslurred
No difference psychologically than when crack or meth purred
Can the words be retrieved, fucking needle withdrawn to before the arm bleeds
A father of my father, mother of my mother, may have planted the seeds
Innocence met with violence is the way humanity is...

Affirmations
Dreams fill your nights with all secrets you hide.
The ghosts that wander through your mind.
Whispers of your past you hear in the dark.
People that touched deepest corners of your heart.
A place where you let your thoughts roam free.
Scars you carry that no one else can see.
Things you loved so fiercely it left you in ruins.
Songs you sing when the world is not in tune.
Fears keep you awake when the night is still.
No moments of joy make your heart truly thrill.
Someone you ever felt a connection so profound. ...
