The Final WordWe set upon a journey
That would make us great
We decided to love our neighbors
Instead of embracing hate
We opened our hearts to the poor
A roof over every head
We measured our speech
Considering what we said
Discriminating unacceptable
Not afraid of history
Truth not a fabrication
Helping others our ministry
We took back handouts
The rich had enough
Money for...

The Energy Of ThoughtAll things are created from energy.
Man wants to control the form it will be,
say yes or no to creativity.
There are no limits to a mind set free.
A no can stop a possibility,
stop the flow of energy completely.
Man can prevent its best efficiency,
stop production with a selfish decree.
Just like steel can be a scalpel or sword,
a...

Kim Jong Un(A Poem of Two Brothers Torn)
They call him tyrant, ruthless, cold—
A shadow cast in headlines bold.
But truth, like buried roots below,
Feeds deeper than the world may know.
He studied where the West holds sway,
Learned Plato’s path, Machiavelli’s way.
Philosophy shaped his guarded mind,
A mirror to a world unkind.
Yet history speaks through hidden pain:
One Korea—once whole, now twain.
A...

Forever became yesterday
The silent echoing sound
Of rhythm I could hear forever,
Attuned eyes glared in wonder
As I swirled in sanity profound
To rhythm of wishful thought
The beautiful ray on bare skin,
As you held me close to your embrace
I saw forever in your longing eyes
Maybe the sun mocks my delusion
I stare in loss of the path...

While Trying To Be
Need I my dear son
Show you the light of sun
Or teach you how to croon
Under a half or a full moon..
You seem to learn and know
As you live, bond and grow
How to successful be
While trying to be..
Should I my dear son
Tell you how to be the one
Or for you life...

Back to the futureWent searching for good enough and discovered it can only come from within myself
So I went back to the future in a DeLorean to try to pinpoint when things began to veer off track so I could alter time to put them back
It took a few trips after realizing I couldn’t quickly flip the script

The Keys to the Future
The doors to yesterday are shut tight and locked.
Only windows allow quick glimpses... you, face red and angry, eyes shut tight, refusing to accept reality away from your warm, slushy world of heart beats and distant voices.
Alas, we are all thrust out into bright lights,...

Holy GhostedYou got a habit vanish, then reappear
Preaching in riddles, then poof disappear
A priest with no parish, a faith with no proof
You speak in confessions but dodge every truth
I lit up the altar, I opened the door
You left your robe but not what it’s for
Fast with the scripture, slow to commit
Saint with a side chick, sermon...

AI warning in verseShines would soon be taken off poetry,
When machines replace humans as judges,
By then wisdom will have fled human minds,
Making AI seem more intelligent.
Poems churned out will then be wishy-washy,
Since standout ones will have been discarded,
As machine junks — confirmed by machines,
So undeseving of recognition.
As more and more inferior works are praised,
At the detriment of...

The man who has no imagination has no wings.
— Muhammad Ali
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Imagination lends me its safe wings,
So I can soar toward futures I choose,
To fill my life with hopes and precious things;
Though striking gold is never a mere cruise,
Neither are lily-livered crowned as kings.

Beauty of imaginationsThere’s beauty in imagining great things;
It lights our dark future with hope-filled dreams ~
Visions of peasants ordained to be kings,
And plebeians crowned as queens, so it seems.
It charts dream paths lit by elegant beams.
Imagination hears each scarecrow's groans;
It squeezes water from dry desert stones.
It digs deep oceans in hot desert sand,
Lifting us from known realms...

Moon Dynasty—A Lunar Ballad from the Year 2088
The year was 2088—
I stood in Beijing beneath neon skies,
Clutching a visa to the Moon,
Where dynasties now rise beyond the clouds.
China, bold architect of the stars,
Has carved empires on the Dark Side—
No longer myth or mystery,
But fields of fusion and factories of fire.
Helium-3, mined from silver dust,
Feeds reactors like...
