"The Old Highway"
The shiny red paint of the hood gleams in the light of passing cars
The moon rises behind me as orange as an evening sky
With the touch of a pedal the engine breathes hard
Thick rubber treads spin and the car just flies
Fiery red and orange glows the ember of my cigarette
As grey-blue smoke plumes up into the air
Going ninety-five now and passing Joliet
King of the road, no one can compare
These gritty roads rumble me like a psalm
The sight of passing tail lights renders me calm
With that steering wheel in my palms
I'm utterly...
The moon rises behind me as orange as an evening sky
With the touch of a pedal the engine breathes hard
Thick rubber treads spin and the car just flies
Fiery red and orange glows the ember of my cigarette
As grey-blue smoke plumes up into the air
Going ninety-five now and passing Joliet
King of the road, no one can compare
These gritty roads rumble me like a psalm
The sight of passing tail lights renders me calm
With that steering wheel in my palms
I'm utterly...

Acceptance
Wouldn't it be nice
If, one day
That it wouldn't be
Of any consequence
If you were straight, trans, lesbian, or gay
Or black, brown, pink, or white
No different
Whether you be ambidextrous, or not
Whatever your religion, or politics too
Just a respect
Of others point of view
So rid yourselves of guns
Bombs, or knives
Instead have a love for this planet
For the sake, of our children's life's

AGE
ain't nothing left
but paint the shed
cut trees
in the thicket
out front
let some light in
julliet says
she's writing a novel
and i admit
i'm jealous
of her youth
but only for a minute
i think about all the stories
the poems
the sculpture
the efforts
and know
that somehow
this was meant to be --
me
old
pushing the mower
fixing the door
and the toilet
and the faucet,
still leaking
taking care
of business ...

Breaking Bread
Peace be unto you
Unto you be peace
Gather more than two
Bread becomes a feast
Break it to release
The love that's inside
Face to the East
Watch the Sun rise
Eyes of the beholders
See beauty in all
Look over shoulders
Rob Peter, pay Paul
Unto you be peace
Gather more than two
Bread becomes a feast
Break it to release
The love that's inside
Face to the East
Watch the Sun rise
Eyes of the beholders
See beauty in all
Look over shoulders
Rob Peter, pay Paul

After melt.
After the fire.
Embers slowly fade...
Back to the earth.
Through into dust.
Deeper deeper.
Blackness.
Surrounding.
Distant sounds.
Baffling.
Air.
Icy, spiking.
Heartbeat.
Now slowing.
Hands.
Transparent.
Form.
Lost, wasted.
Hope.
Fleeing into the dark.......
A voice.
Whispering.
Calling.
From a far.
Love's definition.
Reaching out.
Suddenly.
Light that dazzles.

Love Peace, And Peace Will Love you
20 years ago today, i got talking to my then wife, about all the imbalance in the world, and that sooner or later, the have nots, will respond, and react, to those that have, the basics of drinking water, food, and a roof over their head, and medicines. and that some of these will lash out be it religious, political, or racial differences, or all three, and that i had a really horrible feeling something was going to happen very soon. i'd never had such an extreme 'instinct' like this before, but had no idea how it would be acted out. this ramble/rant lasted for an hour, but i felt i had to...

Roaring Women
To all the ladies/women
out there roar loudly

equal rights to which
I will help always help you

Deconstructing & Rebuilding
Sometimes you've got to destroy in order to rebuild
Laying a new and sturdier foundation in order to heal
Building up your serenity temple plank by plank
Resurrecting like a Phoenix from the despair you sank
Becoming the General of your tank on life's battlefields
Knowing when to lower your guards and when to raise your shields
When to wield your pen and when to brandish your sword
Knowing when to break ranks when not on one accord
Marching forward from those you've dishonorably discharged
Protecting your area of operations by...

Pause For The Cause
That which doesn't kill me makes me stronger
Theoretically, but won't I truly just suffer longer?
Nonconformer & stronger rebel with a cause
If life had a joystick, I'd need to press pause
Pause for the cause of recouping peace
But there's only one way for struggles to cease
To release the soul from its fleshly temple
There's peace in rest, that's just plain and simple
Still waters ripple in order to strengthen us
Riding on the waves like the back of the bus
A valiant fight is a must to survive & thrive

Hurdling Fences Of Consequences
There're pros & cons in all aspects of life
Perspective and perception; joys or strife
I want the knife like in The Golden Child
So I can cut a slice from the serenity pile
100 miles & running, gunning for the cream
Cash rules everything; the American dream
It seems to be King of all that it surveys
Its sting of greed has many chasing pay
Paper with faces of presidential demise
Some commit crimes seeking pies in the sky
We must rely on it in order to get sustenance
Feeding our hunger, no matter the consequence...

We The People II
We gave until our hearts bled in a country or war torn
The cries of our fallen heroes in the wind echoes no more
Blood drops entrenched in soil as we stand in a land not of our own
Far away from hugs, kisses, found in a lovable home
Flags at half mast, as the nation sighs
A war ended as time flies
The planes have all flown away
Chaos still lingers, stagnant souls remain under hostage to this day
A knock on my door, ordered to lay on the floor
Papers checked for treason slaughter with weapons left behind
I stood for...
The cries of our fallen heroes in the wind echoes no more
Blood drops entrenched in soil as we stand in a land not of our own
Far away from hugs, kisses, found in a lovable home
Flags at half mast, as the nation sighs

The planes have all flown away
Chaos still lingers, stagnant souls remain under hostage to this day

Never Ending Battle
You can’t fight for peace without violence,
Because evil is destroying everything for hate.
Because evil is destroying everything for hate.
