Bending Backward



We seem to bend backward
Where the truth is told
We seem to lean forward
To coruscating gold.
When conscience is dead
Our blunt nerve is teased
When cruelty fills the head
Our minds are pleased.
Then we turn a blind eye
Where the infirm do cross
Hiding as they pass by
To seclude our...

Take step back
Love one inch wide
Live fast in life....

It's time to shock the system 
It's leavin' us behind
The company the government 
Left us down the mine

My great-great-great grandfather 
Up in Harper's Ferry town
Swinging from the gallows 
With the body of John Brown

Grandad fought in France
And Dad did time in Vietnam 
I was proud...

Except for the simple task
Of seeing one foot put before the next
You seem blind 
As you stumble through this journey...

Called a romantic relationship

Your outlook is the problem...
Only looking out,
And never within -
Skews your perspective with cynicism

Without introspection
You will never see
The emotional and spiritual contribution
You are...

Alongside a Chiltern chalkstream
I lay me down to dream,
of country paths,stiles and steep slopes,
those days,long ago,filled with hope;
I dreamed of days of summer sun
when my life had just begun,
climbing trees,cricket on the green,
the first time I made the school team;
Football with coats and tennis ball,
bonfire...

The potatoes have ears 
Corn has eyes, 
Horses roll in mud 
Pigs swat at flies. 

Cows lay eggs 
Chickens eat grass, 
Roosters are sound asleep 
The dog has gas. 

The goats have fleas 
Cats have horns, 
Roses smell bad 
The sheep have thorns. 

A day...

This chilly morning in Hartford 
Ensconced in the ambiance of
Freedom in God’s own country 

I woke up with a start
Lost  in the labyrinth of emotions 

Wondering what the future 
Held for my beloved country 

Currently languishing and content 
In her age long delusion of...

There is no going back
To those days of love, now past.
Though memory can take me there,
I miss your loving arms.

To those days of love, now past
My heartstrings stretch forever.
I miss your loving arms.
My future lies behind me.

My heartstrings stretch forever
To happy days of yore. 
My...

til this journey does take place!
I'm gonna walk the straight and narrow
but I'm getting ready just in case
I hope it's not for many years

so I'm a little scared!
this trip can happen anytime
make sure I'm well prepared
So I better get my butt in gear

and get my...

Word "dog" is "god" spelled backward, yes?
And both could be a friend,
A bone you throw to Deity
Might save you in the end.

Most dogs will stay in family yard,
Are never far from home,
But God is always everywhere,
He has no need to roam.

And all that either asks...

A girl with backward feet wanted to show
That she could still keep up with the flow
She walked a bit
Then had a fit
Now she has even farther to go!...

Don't assert yourself you'll be quietly successful counting stars
Drink a lot and bury sober dreams
Never fight for what's right and no one will ever blame you 

Disrespect women in all forms, it was the dolphins that brought us here after all 
What is education when...

My mind is infrequent
Not eloquent... I guess.
Your mind is a bottle
Amused at the thrill of what?
Smoke clouds unused..
Problems askewed.
Deep wrenching can't stand me's 
And nothing to lose.
It's fire?
It's yours?
I try to unbox?
I'm amused 
In a sense of collapse. 
You're standing with a new shot. It's...
