She gambled
She gambled on you
She walked a bridge too far
You didn't feel it true
It was too high a bar
She could have tried talking
That way she would've known
Behind your infatuation
Real affection hadn't grown
She thought there was a bond
A mystical dream
But the wizard lost his wand
You were just a prop in

The tip of the iceberg
I went to see the wounded boy in the hospital bed
He knew not who had shot him nor why they wished him dead.
His cousins sat nearby; I asked them for a clue
They proceeded to tell me all they knew.
"He flew in from Spain, wanted to go to MIT.
First, he seemed

Common Sense Returns
The country spoke in numbers strong
rejecting notions, we knew were wrong.
Porous borders against our laws,
defund police, those thoughts are flawed.
In regards to the letters,
DEI and CRT
return to the alphabet
where you should be.
Retail theft, okay with them
no consequence, they steal again.
Gender care or mutilate,
once its done, it's too late!
Men compete in women's sports,
dashing hopes and wins

A Foolish Man
Every morning the town drunk would walk past the general store where all the farmers gathered to have their coffee. Day after day, the same farmers complained about the weather, the high price of fuel, politics, and how bad their wives always treated them. One day the drunk told a joke and everybody laughed and

It Is About The Title
Many poems are about the titles
Not the contents
Many books are about the titles
Not common sense
Many stars are about the names
Not the distance
Many actors about the names
Not the actions
Nonsense sails
And common sense rarely prevails
Color does not matter all the time
In many situations, it can be characterize
As a major sin or a colossal crime
Of enormous proportion or

Common Sense
How can a sharer of knowledge and maker of books not know the simple act of painting his thoughts through words?

Common Sense
I'm concerned with the lack of common sense;
it's notably missing when needed most.
And while its absence comes at our expense,
nothing else can match it, not even close.
It once would mitigate anger, hate, and greed;
lately, however, it has been a no-show.
I pray for its return in thought and deed;
if it's still relevant, I'd like to know.
It

I Do Not Comprehend Why
I don’t comprehend why
Human beings cannot get along
Why can’t they play and sing the same song
Of Peace and Love together? Why, Why?
Why human beings are killing each other
In the streets, the straits, the strips and on the river
Of life? Our stay on Earth is so short, too short
Why is somebody bombing the sea and the
