A Veritable Cornucopia of Alternatives
Alas, I look at my options and I panic
Bewildered by my choices that feel so gigantic
Clarity seems a bit elusive right now
Dastardly and evasive to me somehow
Establishing an anchor is what I should do
For that would improve my point of view
Grasping for answers that dangle...

Alternative medicine; made by God.
God wasn’t stupid, he made
Plants, by which, we can heal....

Alternatives
I can choose to kill this pain; let it lie
until all sense decays from off the bones 
and upon their bleaching starkness hang
           the chaff of life:
the unsympathetic hello,
the broken vows,
the endless sham of endless...

Alternatives
It's  time for the Americans 
to try something new.
Let's all of us eschew the polls,
see what the pow'rs do.	

So, what if there was not enough
of voters in the booths
to cast a vote one dumb jerk,
what would then be the truths?

I'd like to see a...

i am a better man just by being a scene on your presence
i do not know how you broke through my shield, but i am glad that you proved me wrong
you got a grip on my arm's length and made me come closer

Christmas a Good Time to Look For Alternatives
Christmas seems to be a good time,
To look for alternatives in good time,
While we still can have a good time.

So we can be at our best,
And the worst does not look the best.

It may be the silly season,
But alternatives...

Spotting the Alternatives
Spotting the alternatives,
If you are not up to a spot of reading,
Could result in some serious head scratching.

Spotting the alternatives,
With no place to do some thinking,
Your sanity you could be risking.

Spotting the alternatives,
If you do too much drinking,
Makes it impossible to do any linking.

Spotting the...

Premium Member Jerusha's Rubicon
Family unity, ties bound with conditions
Cult peoples kept from alternate climates
Narrow track administered to every woman
Mother of two, Jerusha determined to fight it

Prospect of allowed departure non existant
Packed full backpacks for herself, Cain, Ismail 
Heart racingly taken, stealth taxi whisked them
Latitude of escape seeped freedom's...
