The Chorus of Dawn- Haiku Medley
World hushed in silence
Birds unable to keep still…
The chorus of dawn
Melody of praise
Chases the shroud of the night…
Blessed hues of morn
Dawn gives way to day
The celebration of life…
Is well under way

Poem
The Silent Chorus of Asia's Missing Daughters
The mourning sun struggled to shine
over the good earth
longing for uprooted seeds,
O-Lan’s second bamboo shoot
harvested far too soon.
The eighth page of
my American newspaper
casually mentions
Sixty Million
Missing,
as is our rage.
Silent choruses
of Asia's daughters
during this thirty-year long
monsoon of tears
cry out in unison:
Was gender our only crime,
or was it the cruelty of order?
(to form an even
more perfect union,
one child-no second chance,
second child-no first chance.)
Inhuman actuaries
compute the
fair market value of
rare Punjabi jewels as
the opportunity cost
of their ultimate dowries,
while surplus men pine.
O blind new world
proud of its
amniotic intelligence,
so unaware of the
consequences of
unnatural selection,
last night I dreamt
Heaven’s narrow gates
welcoming millions
scarcely born,
its vast expanse
unable to contain
our aggregate guilt,
the billions of us who
remain.

Poem
Wanted: The chorus of a song I made
And Now I'm Wanted
Never really understand
Why am I wanted and why have I came to
Country to country so far
I need to find you wherever you are
And I just don't understand
I never
Wanna
Be
Wanted again.

Poem
Alone --- chorus ---
So seal the windows shut,
Don't let anything get in,
Or out, you need,
Your silent complexity now,
Lock the doors,
Dont let a soul in,
Cuz this is your,
Sanctuary, safe place to be,
This is your one home.

Poem
Jimmy and I - still working on CHORUS - Blues
I once robbed a bank so I could get high,
Yeah I stole all their money, I wanted to fly.
Now I'm sitting in jail, wondering why...
But I made a new best friend, Jimmy's just like me
and we're gonna bust outta this prison so we can be free -
and the first thing we're gonna try, yeah we gonna get high.
CHORUS (in progress)
Well we broke out and we partied, now the stuff's all gone,
but we got a great new plan we're working on while singing this song...
Yeah we're gonna rob a bank and get high
Jimmy and I.
Sitting In jail, back again,
How could we fail, Jimmy my friend?
Well, we left in such a hurry we forgot to take the money
had to go back again
CHORUS (in progress)
Now the moral of the story is that you shouldn't get high
'cause if you don't get started you won't be tempted to try
something so stupid that'll land you in the slammer like Jimmy and I.
No, you don't wanna be in the slammer like Jimmy and I.

Poem
A Chorus of Inherent Blues
surviving in uncaring times
a silhouette of history’s past,
dark shadows race onward
eerily against inner peace,
bearing witness to belief’s
emergent untimely demise,
fairness is a foolish dream
enlightened twilight sleep,
lost in an innocent trance
awash in narcissism’s pool,
deaf blind prognosticator’s
on street corners cry out,
‘God is NOT a Christian’
in a post apocalyptic age,
a ageist man-made world
wherein automatons reign,
heroic altruistic capitalists
atop rafts of ill-gotten gain,
a parasitical elite straining
vast hidden corporate riches,
on the backs of dependent
sacrificeable indigent souls,
dire posthypnotic automata
ever living a forgotten life,
a wilderness of sojourners
numbed minds and spirits,
a chorus of inherent blues
non-persons who never was,
adrift in a comatose state
by prosperity’s siren call

Poem
Remake of the chorus of the song 1,000 Miles
now i wonder
if i could kiss you in the night
do you think i could turn back time
because you know i'd apologize a thousand times
just to hug you
just to kiss you
tonight

Poem
Lyrical 1st verse and chorus - Devastate
Words hurt more than knives
I dont know how much I can take
I am lost and cold and
You are laughing at my pain
I hope that you know
what you did to me will stay
worse than stories told
these scars will always carry pain
I wont let them close enough
close enough to feel my pain
I wont let them touch
touch my heart wipe the tears away
I wont let them close enough
close enough to heal my pain
I wont let them touch
touch my heart to sheild the rain

Poem
The Chorus of Death
Do you ever wonder why
when skies are gray and mothers die
why is there heaven and there is hell
when below damp soil is where we dwell
Clouds are heavy, thunders cry
cross my heart and hope to die
ever wonder how this world goes 'round
when all we ever do is lie beneath the ground
Waters boil and seagulls fly
against the screaming crows in the sky
ever stopped to wonder why they fight
when all we see is black as night
Fear them yes, face them no
only heaven saves us when we go
out into that fiery lake
ever wonder why our gods forsake
Tremble yes, hide from them no
ever wonder why we hate them so
when all the stars speak their name
and god spits you out all the same
Angels clash, devils fall
ever wonder why we love them so
when all their feathers rot and fade
no more wings for them that god has made
Let the come, let them fall
I can beat them one and all
For I am Death, and I am fear
ever wonder why I stay so near
I come for them and I come for you
no matter what you dream, or love, or do
ever wonder why all this is
when you are actually mine and not His
