Moral Logic
It starts with two wrongs not making a right
which puts goody two-shoes in a tough spot
since malice quickly adopts fight or flight
as good folks prefer an elegant thought
going to show who is worthy of trust
and of who we ought to be suspicious
whether they be lowly or upper crust
in any affair too injudicious
where saboteurs have the upper hand;
the high ground for their criminal intent,
perfect for hiding all the hurt they've planned
or to ad more fibs to false argument,
shattered soon by stalwart dialectics;
too...

Listen More
(and Speak Less)
Most folks when engaged in conversation
Only hear while the brain prepares a response
Not fully paying attention could often lead
To communication breakdown
Instead listen with intent to understand
Empathize acknowledging their feelings
And though at times we may deal with bitter pessimists
I guess you can say more by speaking less

Forty Days Of Nineveh (COTS)
Unto the doors to walk through, to give your mind its inner peace
Repentance bestowed only from the Creator, within the hieroglyphics, the matrix of a woman’s womb never sleeps
Life and the agony of pain it seeps
Yet, you must discern if you are ready to separate those symbolism of false idols you worship that bring no comfort when it reaps
Mystique of the past, present, yet eyes have not seen
We are the subconscious where your mind roams when you dream
Consecrated scrolls is anointed as it has been blessed by...

Love with fur on it
It’s my fervent wish for just one day
to get out of my own damn way
and live the life of this dog.
So utterly shameless and content in his fur,
never stewing and stressing
over whether that bark was misconstrued,
or offense taken at his effusive wagging.
To sit with certain hope and expectation
of veggie scraps falling like manna from heaven
and yet without an ounce of resentment
when such treats fail to appear.
To lie spread-eagled in absolute trust,
open to belly rubs and assurance of his goodness,
embodying...

as is
as lemons grow like
tiny sun's on
California
trees
as the broken hearted are
placed in the freezers
of loss in
hell
as the dog chases
the cat across
summer
lawns
as the answer has no
meaning to the
question
as the night stars are
memories of the
dead
as supermarkets send
out flyers to the drunk,
the insane, the
suicidal
as victory eludes us
for another
day
as another night of fitful
sleep ends in ...

A Blonde
A blonde is not a diagnosis
but a state of mind
There are many thoughts in
the bright mind
Smart, funny, energetic
And very pretty
Mistress of locks of discord
You will not forget her soon
They live in a blonde for a reason
Coquetry, intelligence and beauty
but a state of mind
There are many thoughts in
the bright mind
Smart, funny, energetic
And very pretty
Mistress of locks of discord
You will not forget her soon
They live in a blonde for a reason
Coquetry, intelligence and beauty

Walk With Me
I wish to sit with somebody or go for a walk
Who as much as in words, in silences speaks
The drift and the knowing of clouds
The wind through the trees
And rustle of leaves
The song of birds
The flight of the hawk
Ripples on water
Be with someone just balancing stones
Who knows fires at night
And sparks' upward flight
To heavenward skies
The varied constellations and moon in its phases
The conjunction marking their birth
Celestial alignments
Our...

Lord Navigator (One Thousand Son)
Lord Navigator or Dark Champion
Just another title like the One Thousand Son,
“The Lord is cutting, the Champion is claiming victory
While the Son is burning the soul-fucked literally,
“For those who isn’t worth it don’t put your life on the line
Because ungrateful motherfuckas treat you like you committed a crime,
“Sticking with them through the thick of the shit
Now they are fucking you emotionally like a scorned bitch,
“But they are virgin scared-fucking without protection
Afraid to squat down on their first...

Cognisance
Loneliness hits
Total eclipse
Yet another blip rips
Into the fabric of our souls
We cry
We tantrum
We huff
We moan
We envy
We sanctum
We mourn
We grow
Life’s all about the lessons
The big
And the small
We all have a journey
That must be followed
And become known
If you can’t be at one
With yourself
Or anyone
Then you’ve really missed the point
Of cognisance
Of it all
Total eclipse
Yet another blip rips
Into the fabric of our souls
We cry
We tantrum
We huff
We moan
We envy
We sanctum
We mourn
We grow
Life’s all about the lessons
The big
And the small
We all have a journey
That must be followed
And become known
If you can’t be at one
With yourself
Or anyone
Then you’ve really missed the point
Of cognisance
Of it all

The Bunny Cloud
promise of a thunderstorm
likely unkept
but the wind is blowing
the weather can be felt
living in Hawaii would drive me crazy
pleasant all the time
i recline in my zero gravity chair
partial-gravity more like it
i can still feel my body
i can still feel my mind
i want to dispose of both
work is too difficult
life's too expensive
love's too elusive
i should be planning my next block
creating weeks of lesson plans
planning a clever data wall display
innovating revolutionary behavior problem...

Nuk do te doja te isha me e mira
Se nuk do te dija ku te shikoja me pas.
Nuk doja ti dija te gjitha
Se nuk do te dija ku te shikoja me pas.
Se nuk do te dija ku te shikoja me pas.
Nuk doja ti dija te gjitha
Se nuk do te dija ku te shikoja me pas.

weird
despite the many waves
the ocean is one
despite the many colors
the rainbow is one
but here.. one world
and one God
yet there are
many different human beings
and many many religions.
