daddy
time has passed
I'm no longer a child
but so often I find myself reaching for the seventies
the very air around me felt different
easy-going and free
my daddy was still alive
a hard man but I knew I was always safe
God I miss him
fast forward to 2020
nothing is sure
paranoia and masked people
it's been a year since I've seen loved ones face to face
in isolation, I deal with my depression the best I can
I don't want to die drowning in my own body fluid
this is serious
people are dying alone and...

We're Not High Class (Anymore)
We used to spend days at the shore
but we can't go there anymore
self isolation, masks and more
no, we're not high class anymore
There was a time we had money to blow
now out of work with nothing to show
what on earth are we living for
'cause we're not high class anymore
We never had hard times before
now they keep knocking at our door
we just can't take it anymore
now we're not high class anymore
but we can't go there anymore
self isolation, masks and more
no, we're not high class anymore
There was a time we had money to blow
now out of work with nothing to show
what on earth are we living for
'cause we're not high class anymore
We never had hard times before
now they keep knocking at our door
we just can't take it anymore
now we're not high class anymore

There was a time when all seemed lost ...
Pandemic
Circa 2020
Working from home
Often minimal engagement
Most my customers were shut down
So living on a shoe string
Not much to do
Eventually started to paint again
The job precluded Art
Always on the road
Too tired at night or weekends
But then the pandemic
Suddenly more time than work
Out came the paints and brushes
I call this painting “Time Lost”
In the seemingly lost days
I painted for hours
It was something to do
A big deal day was when I sold one
A trip to the...

When They Came For Me
From racial disparity to gender inequality
Medical insubordinations have gripped sociality with its falsehood remedial jargon
From Covid-19 and all its variants, the cancelation of woman’s rights to a new uprising pandemic and that is now Monkey Pox
The depopulation insignia of America and its dirty concealed secrets and it is always a bipartisan agenda
This life we are living reminds me of the infamous poem, First They Came by Martin Niemöller
Hidden agenda by the government is at an all time high
The latest is the Monkey Pox, debacle it...

Heart Of Freedom
My heart wants the
world to go back
to normal but we
can't because we are
Living in:
Newton's 3rd Law: Aftermath
Which governments are
responsible and will
they ever give us the
cure/vaccine are we
going to live in this
place where we give up
our freedom for safety
Or will we rise up to take
back our freedom
world to go back
to normal but we
can't because we are
Living in:
Newton's 3rd Law: Aftermath
Which governments are
responsible and will
they ever give us the
cure/vaccine are we
going to live in this
place where we give up
our freedom for safety
Or will we rise up to take
back our freedom

Pandemic Pandemonium
oh twisted
fragile mind
tangled within
a fine almost
invisable Web
creating
more intimidating
intrusive fears
while reconnecting
wiith all the long
dormant ones
breathless panic
of being among
familiar settings
that at one time
where a comfortable
sanctuary for sanity
joys of
personal freedom
cruelly taken
replaced by
self denial
of an insane situation
shame
self worth
given daily access
as true faith
is slowly ...

Covid beaten
Oh no I got a cough, my chest feels like it's kind of tight, I'm struggling to get my breath, I'm not well tonight
Temperature is raging, my head is pounding too, I better call the doctor out, what else can I do
He took a swab and sent it off, it came back with bad news, I have Covid 19, so all visits I must refuse
Carers all dressed like space men, come in every day, I'd be lost without their help, what more can I say
Now starts the fight back, I'm not ready to let it win, I'm far to selfish to just give up, so let the...

The 2020 Chip Down Blues
The torture tune of trauma town
Rings in my midnight ear
To say to me when chips are down
All merriment will disappear...
When introverts, not the warrior,
Will be the ones that thrive
When city streets get gorier
As intubations survive...
More so than those who shriek and shout
In a rally or ugly crowd
With an unwitting spittle spout
Ever and anon too proud...
Since salvation comes, as you will see,
Packaged in humility.
Rings in my midnight ear
To say to me when chips are down
All merriment will disappear...
When introverts, not the warrior,
Will be the ones that thrive
When city streets get gorier
As intubations survive...
More so than those who shriek and shout
In a rally or ugly crowd
With an unwitting spittle spout
Ever and anon too proud...
Since salvation comes, as you will see,
Packaged in humility.

A Sestina for Jade
Statistics said she didn’t stand a chance
Now I wonder more about why she’s gone
The words she wrote had something else to tell
While on lock down when we were on all indoors
Like a foreboding to reflect on life
As everyone else had to stay apart
And then as we all tried to stay apart
We didn’t know who amongst us stood a chance
While many were very careless with life
The plague swept away and then they were gone
As she wrote about being stuck indoors
Suffering with something she wouldn’t tell
But then again...
Now I wonder more about why she’s gone

We didn’t know who amongst us stood a chance
While many were very careless with life
The plague swept away and then they were gone
As she wrote about being stuck indoors
Suffering with something she wouldn’t tell

Cashier Visitation
Why couldn't I condition myself
to a box in which everything
was kindly set for me?
Does the box make you shiver? Does it?
It's set, another wins!
Also, why should I be a friend
of someone, the disgusting!
Pay attention to the baggage.
To the most crowded suitcase of all.
Does the bag make you shiver? Does it?
Everything that is full is not a closet,
The closet, by all accounts, is empty.
Are you upset about how empty it is?
Does it hurt you to see the closet so empty?
I saw the dark instrument of...
