Premium Member BACK TO SCHOOL
BACK TO SCHOOL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In August, young Sam felt quite cool, with a backpack, he headed to school. He packed up some peanuts, and a few silly musical cuts, in his lunchbox then thought, “Aren’t I a jewel?!” His classmates all chuckled and cheered, as he whispered, “I’m ready, don’t fear!” ...

Front To Back
Controlling the language Controlling the power Defining tomorrow With words of today Converting the juncture Converting the instant Defining the moment With all that you say Blessing your loved ones Blessing your enemies Cursing the liars Redeeming the lost Asking new questions Asking for answers Loving the value In spite of — the cost (Dreamsleep: August, 2025) ...

Premium Member I Turn My Back on Bitterness
I wish we could have justice, not just under the law, but for those who mistreat, use, and deceive us. For those who break promises and hearts with no compunction, no apology. If I could sue you or accuse you in a court of law, with a judge, prosecutor, defense attorney, and jury…If I could rip...

O my Lord, I hope you don’t see man as virus or disease This bright blue globe you gave us faces such profound unease We’re told that we will drown or burn though some of us will freeze And only you can save us… can we have our ball back please We drive our cars and fly in planes...

Premium Member Back to the future
Went searching for good enough and discovered it can only come from within myself So I went back to the future in a DeLorean to try to pinpoint when things began to veer off track so I could alter time to put them back It took a few trips after realizing I couldn’t quickly flip the script Started...
