Which is what was always taught,

Their years of life provided
The experience they’d learned

A lone voice whispers in 2025

...I can see
All the way from in here

That the fate of the world is on a precarious knife-edge

The black-robed vultures
Are gathering

New Light

...Fated poets
wander lost
in a sea of dreams

Devoid of truth
and not in rhyme 
their words demeaned

Lasting moments
unresolved

In time captured wastelands
barren demeaned
Believing the tattler

Desperation is sainted

Jester In Transit

...Bending a breaking point
rupturing time
Eons of history
skirting the line

Paradox native

...In a room besotted with lavish grace,
An expensive glass lampshade has its place.
Its exuberant glow, a soft hug warm,
But, somewhat less convincing is its form.

an uphill slog and bike's
battery is flat as well,
