Premium Member Too Late For Tears
Oh, my brother..
I can see storms causing havoc in your eyes.
All you can do is stare,
seeking comfort from a tombstone.

Beautiful marble cannot reach out to you,
nor can it hold your hand.
Tell me who will wipe away those sympathetic tears?

For I have no sympathy for you.
Because
I...

Premium Member Inhuman Malice

A father of six he was in his early forties,
struck by cancer
toiling to provide for his children
with
no property
no land
no animals, but a loyal old donkey
that uncomplainingly was carrying from a distance
the heavy loads of wood and water
because there was no electricity or running water,
in this...

Premium Member Not Entirely About Living In New York
I’m sorry for my flaws
I appreciate everything you do for me
I wish I could always smile at passing children
I wish I felt better about myself
I wish I saw the light you provide for me
The light I voluntarily turn my back from
The light I’m suppose to...

Premium Member A Legacy Worth Bearing
I was named ...
For my father, but not quite as you might think ...
His first name is my middle name, Richard,
And his middle name, Thomas, was my brother's first name,
(Though my brother switched his first and middle name after high school),

Now my brother's middle name...

Manslaughter First Degree
I stand and watch inside this prison gate,
Wondering how I got here, was this to be my fate?
I only did what any man would do,
While trying to protect his family from people like you.

All through life I kept my record clean,
I followed the laws I...

Forest of the Ancient Oak
Nightly, I wander in shadows of a recurring dream 
and find myself wading through a shallow stream.
The Ancient of Oaks calls from beyond the thickets,
its gentle whispers mingling with chirping crickets.

I cannot guide my steps in the direction of choice,
for if I disobey, his leaves...

Cul De Sac
After Vietnam he came right back
To a three bedroom house on a cul de sac
He worked hard to provide for his family
And now it all seems like insanity

After thirty years, his wife is gone
He can't figure out just what went wrong
His sweet little girl went...

Children Are Precious
Children are Precious

Children are precious
They are gifts from God above
We must nurture them 
And shower them with love.

Children need guidance, support, discipline and God’s grace
When they are younger, we must help them tie their shoelace.
We must teach them what’s right and what’s wrong
We must watch...

Illegal
I climbed over trepidation
poverty's barbed wire night
torn by your prosperity
my one change of clothes
thirsting for a drop of civility
on a deserted desert road
Scorched by hell’s kitchen
fed to death’s desiccate dawn
I swallowed shards of sunshine
pride's perilous knives
for one chance to be an American
to provide for my...
