Cleansing Sage
I am a son of Mother Earth,
Proud of my Indigenous heritage birthed
My heritage, strong and deep
A bond with Nature I always keep
With sage in hand and heart in peace
I clear the darkness, let worries release
From the mire, I lift my spirit high
To the Great Spirit, I send a prayerful sigh
With each smudging, a new beginning
I renew my soul, cleanse my being
From the negativity, I free my mind
Leaving the past, seeking the divine
As I cleanse my heart and my eyes
I see more clearly, no more lies
The truth...
Proud of my Indigenous heritage birthed
My heritage, strong and deep
A bond with Nature I always keep
With sage in hand and heart in peace
I clear the darkness, let worries release
From the mire, I lift my spirit high
To the Great Spirit, I send a prayerful sigh
With each smudging, a new beginning
I renew my soul, cleanse my being
From the negativity, I free my mind
Leaving the past, seeking the divine
As I cleanse my heart and my eyes
I see more clearly, no more lies

Mystical Word
m a man of dust and water
i live between sea and shore
i face waves as they spatter
and keep the earth in my core
i am a Mediterranean stroller
i saw the Greeks built their dome
and the Romans strong conquerors
destroyed thick and thin in Rome
haunted by aching Natures fever
i roam hills, watch mountainscapes
with morning rush into deep forest
...

Endearment To Mother Earth
To reap what we sow is so beautiful when you embed into the earth good seeds to sustain the mind, when the palate needs the fruit of its tender hand’s harvest.

Not 1960, 1968, or 1980
It is with a bit of pain that I have to say
that when this Kennedy calls my instinct is to stay away
I do so heavy of heart
for idealism and realism pull me apart
Probably inclined to vote for JFK if alive back in time
not that his candidacy would be a perfect find
or perhaps his excessive warnings of thwarting the USSR
would have been a strong enough blemish on this Democratic Star
But with events testing his intellect
admirable attributes from advisors that could reflect
heard the call to engage on Civil Rights ...

Gods and Kings
It's bedtime for Bonzo and Hector Alonzo, Ronald Reagan didn't make it out of bed
So we stayed there all day watching Pretty Woman with that rug on top of Hector Alonzo's head
Dancing in circles listening to the Go-Go's, waiting for that moment we'ed all be dead
Raging and screaming while we did nothing, raging and screaming until the end
Dismayed by this ending and there is always an ending
Step to the side their story is about to begin
So get over the ashes that cleave to the wind
It's suppertime for Gumby a little hay for Pokey
Their master...

how to become a facist
How to Become a Fascist
Clan thinking and group thinking are always dangerous
Our loyalty to the group we belong to betrays us
Waving of flags makes us think we have the right on our side
We are blind to the downside of this certainty
We stop considering an alternative, our narrowness
Makes us think other people suffering is their fault
For not following our path of righteousness
When outsiders reject our way, we react with fury
We will, in the name of freedom (ours) and slay
Any opponent as an enemy of our holly values
we say we...

Empty
Empty
We obsess about our clothing
and the way we wear our hair.
We start it in the morning.
Its existence everywhere.
We judge ourselves by others.
Are we keeping with our dress?
Are we wearing current fashions?
We will settle for no less.
We are bothered when another
wears a fashion that is new.
When wearing what we lack
thoughts consume of what to do.
We want to be with what is current.
That is what it is all about.
A cycle of acceptance
nobody wants to be without.

"Canoeing the Mountains"
They say that “the church” today
is like the Lewis & Clark expedition –
charting new territory,
exploring the ashes & ruins of Christendom,
finding a new route to the Great Commission…
it’s supposed to be inspiring.
Problem is, we’re not explorers at heart;
there’s not enough curiosity
and we never volunteered for this journey.
We thought we had already arrived.
Knew our map inside & out;
so convinced of its righteousness
we just slapped it onto the turtle’s back
without stopping to look
at the beauty of...

Tame
In black and white
In a society where nobody is tamed,
Everyone is wild.
And the dogs have proven it once and again that.
Where freedoms are curtailed,
There's bitterness.
There's societies in my society,
And in the upper society no one is tamed.
So everyone is wild.
Like lions,
Like hyenas,
Like bats,
They do whatever they want in the light and in the dark.
Talk of them slapping or shooting innocent Kenyans.
Talk of them vanishing billions into thin air.
Talk of dams,
Funded, but cconstructed...

Amalgamate!
The Muse will come and the Muse will go
Often for several days at a time
Contriving thoughts to return and bestow,
Some into rhyme, attentively sublime,
Whereon afflatus I routinely drone
Regarding love in an ornate style
Which no doubt now is so overblown
That scarcely are flirts inclined to smile!
But stranger to me is the verse that's free,
Like motorways without any rules,
And vulgarity obligatory...
Except from the nerds from private schools!
So few can handle the mixing of brows
