SAD Seasonally Affective Disorder

Some are prone to depression in winter when days get shorter when
less light enters the brain through the eyes and thoughts become darker

I am also affected and when news gets explosive when fighting grows
fiercer when smoke bombs and debris shadow the lands...

I began life as a gorilla – cumbersome and chunky.
I clunked my way into situations, abrasive and loud. 
I also misrepresented and misspoke. 
Rapidly became misunderstood and ostracized.
Life was not working...

So I transmogrified myself into a butterfly.
Flitting from place to place, not staying long enough...

Looking at his house
He sees nothing special
A pile of wood and sheetrock 
Bigger than others
But he owes more than it’s worth
His house is underwater
A term he doesn’t understand
In real speak the house belongs to the Bank
To the brokers and the lawyers.

Wanting a piece of the...

Frightened By the Polls

As frightened as a wolverine in a man-made metal trap,
The politician crawled out from under his rock.
Afraid, after his voting record was revealed,
He avoided facing his constituency and their votes.
Never had he seen such scathing, waving, hating arms.
A people’s representative turned belly-up.
One...

Ya call yerself Rose
But ya actually Vie
I'm left here ponderin
Wonderin why

Sure ya pretty
Rose suits ya fine
Complexity like wine
There's some fella
I'm sure ya left behind
Him a seven and you a nine

Yet I look
I ain't see no thorns
Even though petals of splendor adorn
A sweet child 
Canadian born
Who...

He is the First and Last, the Beginning and the End!

Brotherhood of Hope


Brown shirts soil the streets in incremental aspirations
	
Exclaim ‘we are the truth’ and nothing but the certitude

No doubts remain where torches shine and voices roar

Eclipsed humanity suffocated embrace disintegration

Accelerate the tempo to tunes and steps of marching

Terror deception propaganda manipulated fulcrum of

History forgotten...

Then Wele Khakaba turned and spoke thus
True beauty is everlasting; temporary beauty is dust and is for a time
Thy judgment of beauty is an error
For thy yardsticks are looks, appearances, effects and proportions
Thy verdict of beauty is a mistake and booboo
For thy scale is shapeliness,...

It was 1991 and Mission Scotland had finally arrived,
My dad's big dream of being choirmaster had come true,
At Murryfield his 1000 voice choir blasted Just As I Am,
In Celtic Park 800 sang When I Survey to the Lamb.

My dad had asked me on the up-run...

God came down and became a man
He wanted to fully understand
Since the consequence for sin has always been death
Jesus had to Indore our punishment up until his very last breath
He became the ultimate sacrifice
So all mankind did not have to pay the price
His 33 years...

What is white?
  The ironies of the question and the implications
    Are really quite extraordinary ...
      For WHITE, specifically
        Is the ABSENCE of all color.

If "white supremacists" truly took...

You are my reflection
My smile in the morning
If I don't breath you don't exist
You are my reflection

You make way when darkness paves my life
You are my reflection
When tears and sorrows collide against me
You are that I need to survive

You are my reflection
When life seems so...
