Best Just A Thought Poems

Always around 
slightly small mostly black
think of my kids 
that's what holds me back
cracks in my heart 
such a delicate shell
tears fill my eyes 
my eyes start to swell
try to be a new me 
no drugs no liquor
now my eyes open wide 
more reasons to...

when all the world has had its fill
of bluster, lies and war
I trust the silence I can't hear
will be louder than before....

If you could change the world
What would the first thing be 
Maybe close down all the zoos
To set the animals free

Maybe get yourself some air time
To tell all people to take a stand
For the rulers of our countries
Have gotten to far out of hand

Maybe tell...

The night is questionable, perhaps I am
Why don't it all go away for tonight to stay?
I have exhausting hours without the end
I have words without a voice to say

Because I want to travel tonight
I want it all to go and come away somehow
I want to...

In the increasing constriction 
Of government restriction 

I offer the following observation 
Of freedoms suffocation

Of daily liberties 
Savagely curtailed 

Of your war on everything 
That has sadly failed 

Of your attempts to control the masses 
Becomes comical as it passes

Many like me question your sanity...

Maybe I want to die today...
It's just a thought, a feeling.
My hands would never act on it.
But maybe my heart would
String a rope together with its veins
And stop beating for awhile. 
It needs a break, I'll admit that....

Raking, through the ashes
Shivers rolling up my spine,
Knowing, some similar day
These embers will be mine.

Went to the orchestra tonight,
All had tails, and gowns to floor,
Distinctive sounds, sounded right.
Came the end, conductor on guard,
Lady’s cleavage focused on;
Conductor’s baton now quite hard
All’s well that bends well, saintly true,
While conductor’s trousers? Steadily grew....

Not too long ago
Cigarettes permeated our culture
Tobacco companies were powerful
Science discovered a link between
Cigarettes and cancer
Cancer was deemed unhealthy

You no longer see media ads for cigarettes
You rarely see smoking in movies

It seems that someone somewhere noticed

Violence permeates our culture
Even down to a recent ad for...

Never to such lofty order have I treasured company.
Yet the promise of your presence grants a peace so true to me. 
I wonder if you’re conscious of the medicine you bring.
My wounded form is desperate to hear you laugh and sing.

The thought of you is...

What if the Lamb that was sacrificed,
decided not to pay the price?
What if they knew He was the only choice. 
What if Jesus didn't move his voice?
What if they looked for the purest source to go, 
what if they looked at Jesus and he said...

I fancy getting whip lashed
and drugged up...

But then my ironing has to 
be done.
