is now absorbing 
the dirt and detritus 
   of the asphalt homeland

STANZA VII

The warning first comes from the job’s admin head:
“The Secret Service will persecute you to death!”
Then they drum the son hammer and tongs on head
After mounting terror to cut short his breath:
“We’ll slaughter your...

 There was one midnight hour when I stood alone
   beyond my bed, in the shadowed room
   I was the child in the white flannel gown
   watching a white moth fly and a white moon rise

Have you seen darkness or felt it's sting?
Tell me do you know darkness as your friend?
Has darkness ever made your ears to ring?
Searing pain and sorrow make your heart rend?
 
The mind plays tricks, but the heart can feel.
What is darkness; does it shadow your...

My 'wife', 'husband', sister and brother. 
That principle is a recipe 
That works only in the woods 
Of hollywood, nollywood... and Wood, wood. 
It can't buy you a bicycle 
In your life-cycle to the Holyland

Hollywood or Holyword? 
Why clinging...

He was reaching his breath range as a bull

the current malicious mouthpiece of the
world’s current policeman
stands behind her podium & insists to the
rest of us that 
“Russia & China will have to pay”
for the time that they have spent 
not going along with the empire &
their buds,

When I do dream, I find a well, 
Where all the dreams would mix and swell, 
A treasure store of hope I find, 
Possibilities undefined.

It's no surprise that compromise
Can solve so many woes,
From visions 'bout decisions
To uniting former foes.

Don't merely stay with Column A,
But choose a bit from B;
The middle ground might bring you 'round
To true serenity.

A little give can help you live
At peace within your soul
And what you'll...

JOURNEY’S    END


Gate with one rusting hinge on post 
Squeaks open  and rattles closed.
Smell of fryng bacon sneaks out
The window where the cat sits about.

But I’m glad to be home...

Internet mania, a double-edged sword,
Prez campaigns, fun nor frolic can afford,
Memes may make huge buzz,
But few votes for the fuss,
Fans may turn sudden foes,
And goodwill sooner goes,
Look at Trump, he now whimpers who ere roared.
