Bug CollectorBrush off your ant bites.
Blind eye the hornets sting.
Gone so long with ways of violence.
Creatures having done nothing wrong.
But it’s fine “they aren’t important”.
Legs or wings or hair you just can’t bare.
Squash and flush because...

Who's BadThe little boy had cried
He's all watery-eyed
He should not have lied
His sister really knew
Her eyes black and blue

Rusty swings
Nights that smell of dew,
days that smell of fresh grass,
flowers that bloom to be seen for a short time,
leaving their fragrance in the air for us to feel that unforgettable instant.
Slippery days missed somewhere...

Until I fell on the ground!

Packing School LunchesWhat scene would I want to find comfort in
more than this one,
an ordinary morning in the farmhouse kitchen,
blue checked curtains swaying,
wooden shelves with plates and jars,
the radio softly playing,
a paring knife in my hand?
It gives...

Don't Throw Them to the WolvesWe have a choice,
On how many children will turn out,
And by throwing the parents under a bus,
For the Wolves and Jackals to fight over,
The outcome for the children will always be the same.
When we we...

When Everything Loses Its BeautyEvery lively landscape and tree were stripped
by fierce winter of their verdant, elegant dress:
and while they are naked and grieving amid
rainfall and fog: they still wish for sunny days!

BLESSED TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN GRATITUDE
May we be blessed when our children are young
to help shape their attitude…
to begin when they are babies to teach them gratitude…
how they should when they sit down to eat…before one bite is chewed
always pause…...
