Tabletop Of Memories
Over tabletop of memories
of my youth
rainbows had whistles
over trestles
old poets had songs
in a sea of nights
and I said my prayers
Now the tabletop is gone
and my hair is white
rainbows still have whistles
but there are storms on the streets
and many have lost their ways
but I still say my prayers
to the man upstairs
of my youth
rainbows had whistles
over trestles
old poets had songs
in a sea of nights
and I said my prayers
Now the tabletop is gone
and my hair is white
rainbows still have whistles
but there are storms on the streets
and many have lost their ways
but I still say my prayers
to the man upstairs

When The Waters Run Dry
When The Waters Run Dry
When the waters run dry
Mother Earth will then cry.
We will hear her screams
rip through the air.
Her blood will spill across land.
Will we then understand
these eruptions of hers
everywhere?
Perhaps we will see without seeing
as we pray to the sky.
We are to die from a fault
of our own.
It is too late for the rain.
Mother Earth we have slain.
In so doing she shall
not die alone.

Go To Hell
The expression “go to hell” does not suggest a literal action.
As far as the writer is concerned, no one can literally send a person to hell.
Besides, there is no tangible evidence of a literal heaven or hell.
The idea of a hell is just a belief that some religious groups hold.
So no one knows whether heaven and hell really exist or not.
Sensible people do not take offence at it when you tell them to go to hell.
You can tell politicians to go to hell and they do not have a problem with that.
So why do LGBT people protest when someone tells them...

Stranger In Disguise
They don't make friends like useta be
when the world was a safer place
and biology was about human behavior
now everyone is a stranger in disguise,
potatoes with eyes may be watching you
Now we are becoming the shadow people
a Smart Phone without common sense
afraid to walk at midnight beneath the stars
as hypocrites control the news and media
taking away The Pledge of Allegiance
Debit cards take the place of a quarter
a bottle of water is sold in jars
people live on the streets or in shelters
saying,...

Until...
Time is but a drunken hero
a shot of sundried tequila
but it can't save face
staying alive in a coffin
living until the conclusion
with no laurels come tomorrow
just an empty bottle of Cuervo
and a date with a sub-zero
a shot of sundried tequila
but it can't save face
staying alive in a coffin
living until the conclusion
with no laurels come tomorrow

That Don't Impress Me Much
Sharon saw Larry
posing like he was Arnold
Schwarzenegger next to her.
That made Sharon smile,
roll her eyes and walk away
from that overzealous jerk.

He Wants To Make A Play For
My best friend
Jeffrey showed me the one
centerfold photo in the latest
issue of Playboy and announced that she's one of
the many visions of beauty he
wants to make a play for.
What a putz!

The Klan (may not be a force but....)
Hatred
Taught by peers
Born from ignorance
Not questioning why
Following blindly
The burning cross

Haters Gonna Hate
The paleface supremacist
Is up in every grille
with an overt racist mission
to loan, enslave, or kill...
like what they did to Africans
and still do if they can
with banks and prisons in cahoots;
free labor is their plan.
The worst white folks, so I have read,
just love to kill the Jews
and bitch about a culture war
they spew in their fake news.
But don't forget their genocide
of Indians (all types!),
after a treaty treachery...
abusing peaceful pipes.
And think about the Mexicans ...

Performing Monkey Dancers
War is the mechanism in which the control of the weak over the strong is replenished in perverted cycles. Progress is the drumbeat that leads to that... and money buys the titles.
Fear is the method of our repeated enslavement, our dreams collapsed and caving.
Liberty is the unkept promise that kept the naive children from misbehaving.
Freedom isn't a right granted by others, it is a carrot on a donkeys stick.
Keeping you on a path awash with blood which must be hard trodden till ill and sick.
Love isn't an emotion, it is the synergy between the...

Humanity's Pawn
Humanity's Pawn
The dust continues to collect more and more in Humanity's Pawn.
Morals and values placed high on a shelf out of reach,
out of sight with each year bringing another layer of dust.
They have no place in today's society.
No value.
And so the eternal shop-keep with his graying hair
placed them on that shelf so high becoming their forever home.
Perhaps someday forever will be sliced.
Perhaps not.
We can hope so.
The eternal shop-keep hopes so.
We like to think so anyway.
Maybe...
