Best Ease Off Poems
South African LockdownSouth African lockdown
Gone is the heave, the bustle and the crowds
The pavements are weeping like widows without sounds
The governments are ruling with their heads in the clouds
We should not be submissive wearing fear as our shrouds
Shops and small business are collecting dust,...

Cut Me Some SlackLyrics II-The Black Crowes
Sponsor: Rob Carmack
My Poem:
Cut me some slack tonight,
ease off until I find my sight,
and light,
I’m on my way downward; it’s your song,
you’re always wrong,
I’m never right.
If I get one slim record of your past,
can you fold your cards at last,
and fast,
there’s no...

When You Were a ChildYou probably didn’t hear your Mothers early words to you –
so enraptured were you at the lovely shapes her face made
when her eyes locked onto yours.
You no doubt let your Fathers words go over your head, too;
the only thing that mattered was that you were...

Artifacts of DestinyEach ego identity,
whether of busy bee
or slacker sloth,
recreates its uniquely sacred eco-Other,
mutually capable of Win-Win intentional experience
and memory
toward appreciating capital investments
in further living, not deadening, artifacts
through each personal life
both cooperative and competing
so far.
So
every shrinking traumatic death
fades,
exforms this sacred values and disvalues Universe,
uniquely space-timed
cooperative and...

The Rules of the RoadThe highway of life is full of speed bumps and unseen peril
Heed the rules of the road; ease off the gas pedal when traveling
On a serpentine route, or risk careening off a high cliff

LostSilently sitting under the Rain,
Hoping it washes away my Pain
Straight down the Drain
And ease off this Strain.
My back in so much Pain
Evidence of Hardwork.
What would be the Gain,
Would i meet with Luck.
Sweep the distance off my Feet,
And bring the journey to Me.
In my eyes you...

Enclosed Rhyme
DoubtThese words and thoughts, they leave me ashamed,
Disgraced with the man that I am,
Disgraced and bound tight, unable to breathe,
Feeling as though I am damned,
And everyone wants a piece of my peace,
I feel like I’m smothered and tied,
I think everyone thinks I’m...

Our Long Lost LoveOut of the blue
I think of you
Who is to blame?
For loss of flame
Our love has gone
To a dark dawn
I feel the pain
Tears down the drain
For in the past
Our love was vast
Now death is near
Stop sign to fear
I see my gloom
I feel the doom
We shut...

Morning FieldAs the sun peaks up into the sky
the blue pickup truck goes down the dusty road
to the field that barren laid
and the red tractor waiting there
father and son in blue jeans clad
walked from the truck across the land
to the job are waiting for them there
