The Punching Bag - Through the Eyes of a Child
The Punching Bag - Through the Eyes of a Child

Each day the pattern was the same,
for all Dad’s shortcomings, my Mom got the blame. 
WHACK! He cursed her for all his lost dreams…
WHACK! For missed opportunities, and failed schemes.
WHACK! Dad would hit his punching bag...

In the beginning it was not so. Adam and Eve were perfect when God’s created them. Their interaction with each other reflected the perfection of the relationship between Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

They, like us were created with freedom of choice and could choose whether...

Broken Tree
A dysfunctional child covered in mud
If her mamma didn't clean her do you think a stranger would?
dirty looks and filthy nails
gossips, rumours and funny tales
labels that stick and wont wash off
she is a tree with a damaged root
she grows no flowers
she grows no fruit
Broken trees...

Hard To Argue With That
She was smart, beautiful and a perfect host
Yet these god given attributes don't explain how she became adored 
By most,
With no hate mail in the post.

No, we have to look elsewhere for the reason,
That no matter what the season, 
She could appeal to our reason.

As a divergence 
from the apocalyptical, dialectical, 
geomorphological, judgmatical, 
metaphorical, philosophical...,
I share an out of this 
(webbed wide) world,
light hearted anecdote 
ye may find far fetched.

Believe me you,
an unspecified number of years ago,
yours truly availed himself

Riches To Rags
I have heard of it,
I was in it,
I have imagined it,
But I am yet to experience it.

What is this dream?
Who is this dream for?
Is it a dream for the wealthy and the powerful?
The politicians and the Gangs?
The Cartels and the Mafia?
Drugs and substance abuse?

Is it...

A Great Ruler
You were an Afghan, Farid Khan by name,
A name less known to the world today.
You ran away from home,
Because your own step-mother plotted against you.
Now you were runaway-Khan!

You chose to be a knight-errant,
Soon became a military commander in Bihar,
Was renamed Sher Khan, a title awarded...

But Seriously
Seriously?
You drive a Benz with chrome plated wheels,
then from the government you continue to steal,
I wonder if you’ll ever really know how it feels,
to be so hungry and not get approved for food assistance-
Seriously? Luxury living with no room for intolerable resistance.

Seriously?
You beg for forgiveness...

Deafening Silence
EVERY DAY I CRY
EVERY NIGHT I PRAY
FOR THE STRENGTH  I NEED
TO SURVIVE ANOTHER DAY
MY DREAMS ARE HAUNTED 
BY MY MEMORIES OF YOU
EVEN IF I COULD 
THESE MEMORIES I'D NEVER UNDO
IN MY DREAMS 
I BEG AND I PLEAD
LEFT THERE CRIPPLED 
DOWN ON MY KNEES

Climate Change and the Tales From the Victims of Typhoon Yolanda
Through the storm surge and chaotic sky, 
the scale of destruction: hell on earth, 
towns flattened into a horrible wasteland, 
the deluge created ghost cities in a second, 
every night spent is a horror painted with gothic madness, 
and the survivors live in an unthinkable...

A Brave New World
A xerox copy of a species has become more 
prevalent in two-thousand seventeen-
There are different processes used to 
produce a genetically identical biological entity.
Cloning sheep is the most common form of 
duplicating genes, cells and tissues-
but there is so much more to this procedure, 
so...
