All over the road, about to wreck
One of many causes for yet another death


Too many chickens giving each other pecks
They just look and rubberneck


Person overboard, from falling over the deck
Luckily they had on a life vest


No offense
I don't want to sit around and work behind...

Sandra Hall was a college student, like experience gained from learning,
Living in the house of her parents; with love like red, fall leaves returning.

Sandra was in her final year of school, and she had a network of friends,
Like the grape, starry nights of luxury, that...

Alcohol consumption can be a complete nightmare
You can lose your life and your family
So drugged up, you can’t even play solitaire

Alcohol will give you a sense of disorder
Missing your child’s birthday party

From one drink to the next
Never knowing your life is a complete wreck
Not knowing...

We often lament long-term effects of slavery
on those enslaved across multiple generations.

Enslavement leads to addiction and codependent denial,
then is taught and mentored to enslaved children,
also separated from family and sold,
until third generations and beyond
were dressed in commodified adoptions
and creolizing adaptions
and fear
and anger
and despair
about not born...

Number of Man
(Webster’s Ninth)

Money trail reveals factor
To assemble humans follow layout
Swat down charges with linguistic racket
Sticks more effective than carrot dangle
Arguments sustained by pundits' jangle
Beached on shallow force Fed truths we paddle

Pedantic pets get paddle
First world states where offspring are a factor
Searching for meaning results...

See as a child having a child he was my saving grace, allowing me to refocus my path to a better place, Where he could grow and flourish, So I developed him to nourish, Through my soil which had been tainted by pollutants, pollutants in...

Your Ugly, You fill my heart with hate 
For those things that are wrong, I understand I can relate
I played a role many moons ago, But in this light I choose to make things right
As I realize your the same old same old
The last Christmas...

Counting the stars in the moonlit sky…
I forget about my beliefs and my morals…
I dropped my guard 
I thought my doubts were water under the bridge
Life’s hitting me so hard…
So hard…so hard…oh so hard…

Discard this nervouscited…feeling…
Bless me with Your Holy Spirit…
I found him so appealing…

III.
Some claim that your sex is all in your head,
that you can change it at any old time,
gender is not bound by our biology,
it’s nothing more than a sure state-of-mind,
and so we see them, dressing up all weird,
demanding that we go along with their claims,
trying...

The school bathroom is filled with cigarette smoke, 
hold your breath or you’ll surely choke.

Trying to be down with the rest of the crowd, 
smoking isn’t cool for crying out loud!

You think smoking makes you mature? 
It makes you smell bad sort of like horse...

She hides in her room, scanning the internet,
searching all the dating sites for her soulmate.
And chatting up cyber friends she's never met;
keeps her entertained with so much on her plate.
And yet, she's lonely; for love's not on the net,
and she's abandoned reality of late.
Feeling empty...

I remember Charlie from college,
a troublemaker par excellence,
not that Charlie intended to be,
it’s just his views were often askance.
Take, for example, the time in class
we were discussing feminism,
the professor was glad her students
were all seeing things through her prism.
But then Charlie said, “You’re looking past
the...

A harmless question one might say,
Yet for some recipients
Once muttered,
Will send them on a never-ending quest,
For the answer.

It spawns countless questions of its own,
Never sleeps, never lies still,
Reaches every nook and cranny in the brain, 
Has no off switch,
And its sound cannot be muffled, 
They...

We have Covid No Big Deal.
We sing, and dance do the Virginia Reel
Swing our partners round and round.
Prance our droplets all over this here town.

Showing our muscles, displaying our pecs.
None of us knowing the long-term effects.
We have Covid No Big Deal.
Let’s all share a community...
