Many people will avow,
to being risk adverse.
In discussing this point,
they often become terse.

if we can’t stick our neck out,
without undue fear.
We’ll be like the tortoise,
and not get anywhere.

Sometimes a decision,
causes life to seem bleak.
But risk is always commensurate,
with the...

I remember as a child you were always there
Just a phone call away
Is what you used to say
Your voice was always so calming to me
I wish I could hear it now
As my heart is breaking

In a dark swirling empty nothing I am written,
with many descriptions of pain and victimization
made by a harsh,

Dad Gained His Angel Wings
Dad Gained His Angel Wings

On the 29th of October
My life it changed for good
Not in the way that I had hoped
Or in a way it even should

My dad he gained his angel wings
It should not have been this way
Dad wasn’t supposed to leave us
I lost...

Premium Member Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained
Never look through a window, never go through a door
If you are wary of what lies behind, you never will explore

If you make this decision, you may see things that you like
But there are maybe things that are not, this for you is your right

Many...

Imagery Gained
imagery gained

petrified by one's own conscience
doth one dare keep walking forth
realizing all she bares to lose
or may have already lost

gained imagery...sure
but at what cost...

Premium Member Rightly Indians Gained
When I look on the white mans past     
And the tribes that never did last             
We have Reagan to thank
Indigenous profits, bank
Casinos, through the doors you'll pass

For She, This Victory Was Gained-  Sonnet number 2


You that loved her for her long, yellow hair,  
I for her grace, charm and brilliant mind.
You left her sick and without a damn care,
while I nursed her to health staying behind.

Premium Member I Have Gained Nothing From White Supremacy
I have gained nothing from white supremacy
with singular power, sans The Almighty
My faithful friend with sheets of white
my pal, poised, unpen itself to make things right
How squeaky clean each new beginning?
that borrows from the dead, and those still living
I arrived blank naked and undisguised
my soul...

Respect Gained
Going against the norms
Standing for the odds
Attracts its query
Whiles a baby's cry matures into speech
Odds are norms, for all reason to it
Although was not emphatic, now a fact
Brave hearts may shatter
Strong hands may wrinkle
Minds of steel might melt
Visionary souls might fade-out
That is the quest of...

Something Lost/Something Gained
Nature's light is turned down low,
but the moon and the stars create a glow.

Dark clouds are huddled to prepare an ambush,
but a spec of sunshine through their fierce grip will push.

Rain, rain seems to forever stay,
but the thirst of the flowers like it that way.

Farewell...

Someone stomped on flowers while wearing a kilt
And after that each one of them will start to wilt
Then all the flowers were blown away by Obama
Life had been lauded when he blew away Osama.

Thinking about things for long time have been
But lately, I...

gone back to nature
plants overtaking the streets 
nothing to wager
no fannies in too small seats
no more televised repeats

nothing new to learn
knowledge without a future
only time to burn
always idle computers
no new wounds needing sutures

airplanes are all still
no one's borders being crossed
no steaks on the grill
no more...
