Blackland PrairieBLACKLAND PRAIRIE
From Red River down to San Antone,
The Blackland Prairie’s all but gone—
Scoured clean by progress, tilled and torn,
By “civilized” greed, excess born,
A plundered land that mourns the dawn.
Where bison and pronghorn used to roam
In numbers lost in time and stone
Now parking lots...

Can you dig it?
Dig...black soil,stone. earth worms wiggle, decayed bones
Dig... scatter seeds there, sprouting, searching sun and air
Dig ...to hide our dead, six feet under, body bed
Dig...shovel and spade, flowers grow from planted pain
Dig...out of this hole, skin so pale and Icy cold
Dig...deep down inside, reveal secrets graveyards hide...

Before the City Dawns(A subaltern dawn song...)
We rise before the rooster cries,
Before the sky begins to blush,
Before the bosses sip their tea,
We sweep the silence with a hush.
The city sleeps in dreams of glass,
We move like whispers through its veins
With a broom, a bucket and barefoot grace,
Erasing footprints made of stains.
The milkman’s cycle hums its tune,
His bell rings...

Welcome to a brand new world new song versionWelcome to a brand new world
Verse 1
How are you feeling right now?
Is there still a yearning in your heart?
You're probably like, ten million or more,
praying for a brand new start
Verse 2
What happened to the world you imagined?
Where justice and peace ruled the day...
Is it merely a dream or wishful thinking,
a fantasy that leads you astray

Ego systemsArtist - derelict and drifter
move about like windblown bones
bathing in the dry veined riverbed stream
fashioning crafts from a lifetime of dewed memory
weaving ends that tend to never meet
the wealthiest being of this beat
would be the poorest elsewhere-
Father of northern aurora lairs
dancing with ice bears atop great flows
so cold, both sun and flyer freeze midair
tooth walkers...

MantennaLately my mantenna are twitching more than usual folks
the prophecies are surely uncloaking
time to batten down the hatches
the second flood is lapping on the doorstep
clutch your loved ones to your chest
Its nearly midnight, the world is on full tilt
nuclear pinballs ricochetting off
bent flippers of black hearted madmen
They will not lead into battle
they'll just push...

Compassion**A Bird in the Hand**
From my childhood, I cherish the sweet memory of holding a sparrow in my hands. Its heart raced wildly, igniting my curiosity. Gazing into its small, beady eyes, I couldn't help but smile as it chirped and whined, pleading for freedom.
Yet, in its desperation, it bit down on my thumb,...

Layer cake of timeTouching time, towering, vast
Time stands high in grand relief.
Layered stories trace the past,
Etched in stone, stark and brief
As I wander through a layered cake of time.
Guarding the desert, towers of stone,
Stand watch from a tilted throne;
Cracks run deep, through petroglyph grand,
Relics left by human hand.
sentinels of the desert
Watch me wander this layered cake of...

Earth:Our MotherWe all know one fact
that Earth is our home,
But why do we do this
and make it to foam?
Earth is our mother
and feeds us with her milk,
But why do we do this
and make it to silk?
We are not her only child
and her only worries
But why do we do this
and make ourselves...

Why is my fury so quickly aroused?

Heaven On Earth
If there was ever a heaven on earth I found it in you
With all the thousands of stars that at me you threw
You lit up my life, as showered me with undying love
Lifted me up, replaced all others, then set me above
Took all my hurts, and showed me how to love again
Assuring me our love...

Dancing Divine IntegrityGod choreographs integrity

Hopelessy Hoping
As I walk through the light of hope,
the trees stretch over me, folding in—
as if they want to hug me with the full force of the wind.
I feel all the baggage I’ve carried being swept away.
I fall, and the world pauses—
everything is muted.
I let myself drift,
not stopping, just floating,
letting the earth pull and take control.
I...
