Born to Fail
Begotten to Fail
The strutting hustlers
rouse their slumberous day
amidst their maddened worlds
In the midst
of the wary ghetto
A dream steps out
blinking, yawning with a resolve
even as their sky seems blurry
Repelling men and monsters
Relishing the forecasted rain
Marching through
mud and splatters
riding with the lightning
dancing to the pounding

How do you fight when the battle is within you, and every attempt seems doomed to fail
How do you fight when the battle is within you, and every attempt seems doomed to fail,
When you thought you were strong, but now you see you're caught in the web of doubt,
A stranger in your own skin, searching for a self that once seemed so certain,
I try to rise, but I fall again, chasing

To my children and grandchildren People will fail you
Don't think it strange when someone attacks!
A person you hold dear ,stabs you in the back!
Learn from God's word that all people are flawed.
To God nothing about our behavior is odd!
Many times I hung around people, just to appear cool.
Then regretted it the next day, how I looked like a fool!
Attempted to try things and

When Words Fail Me
I was born with the meaning of home running through my veins. ~ Lauren Eden
laughing, songs of surreal longings stirring
wide-eyed epiphanies glow
in silence, free like make believe, pretending
while sorrows meld with light’s spiritual leaves
knowing God’s love meant
goosebumps on naked moments
pouring out serenity into lives who believe
where colors of faith
meet amazing in His grace
and the stories

Sounds Fail
The sky is falling quietly down
The evening starts to glow
You let her out in the garden
Commanding off you go
The dusk is growing deeper
And through the shift of time
I hear you calling “Pippa!”
And she comes back, and I
Hear your “good girl” to her
And Pippa wags her tail
She licks your face, the image blurs
You smile, the sounds

A hard lesson
2015.03.09@13:13:13
As the V-Line Coach approached the Apollo Bay,
Along the sand line, what did I find?
The splashing waves rushed in to reach the beach.
The scent of the trees and plants,
Triggered some ideas in my brain.
I planned to throw your book into the sea,
Let the salty water washed all your printed words.
Hopefully, it also cleaned

He is not someone you bump into on the road and fail to notice
He is not someone you bump into on the road and fail to notice,
he is the one whose presence you feel in the empty corridors he traversed,
he doesn't wear the falsehood of a feigned smile on his lips,
but sews his bleeding truths onto the contours of his soul.
He won't accuse you of gazing too long

What The Mind Fail The Heart Suffer
What's true with human heart
They aren't as real as their mouths say
For in them the world is full of practicality
The emotion of things can't solve any problem
Claims they don't reach goal by the beating of the heart
They have a thousand reasons to stay braggart
It seems reasonable but the heart has all the content
That the reasoning

New year declaration
We were on our own
Minding our business
Weighed down by crushing unemployment
Thoroughly disillusioned by the art of promise and fail
We were disoriented by the perennial lie
Of being leaders of tomorrow
While we watched the promised future
Dissipate before our very eyes
Stolen by evil forces that have held the country
Down since after the

When Leaders Fail Transparency
I wonder where
Taxed money goes
No project gain.
Raise budget year
No hope where sent
People's face fret.
Paint dismal day
Hard to abroad
But force to be.
Where leaders went
Sheet Bi-cam failed
Blank signs was filled.

Let them yell
Face all your setbacks and face them well,
Just mind not what they say let them yell,
Leave them to their shouts,
Leave them with their doubts,
For all you care they can go to hell.

Words Fail
Words fail to match the beauty of the park
The magic stillness of the early autumn day
Leaves fall across your smile, completing your remark
Leaving me speechless in this colorful decay
The trees look tall in their patchy outfit
Lone robin sings somewhere in the height
So shall we go, before the dusk commits
Its usual crime, obscuring the

YOU CANNOT FAIL
What would you do,
What heights would you sail,
If you really knew
You could not fail?
Would you talk to yourself
In a brand new, positive way?
Would you only listen to the
Encouraging things people say?
Would you take bigger chances
And blaze new trail?
Would you reach for the stars,
If you could not fail?
Would you create a new life
Filled with happiness,
