If you can't say something nice!

Of Sewer ology.

The howl remainsLook what we've done
But why did you?
Look, we've done it
But should we have?
Why this first?
To be more heard.
Just because we could?
We'll describe.
So what about evolution?
What about it?
Is it not the rule?
Who’s to say?
Was it necessary?
We’ll justify it.
But in the silence
The howl remains....

HOWL IF YOU LOVE ME!It started out with one good boy,
A prehistoric, funny, little plushie toy,
His name was Gary, quite refined,
A murder floof with teeth aligned (yikes)!
They dressed him up in bowtie class,
He promptly bit a Swissman's—ahem—pass ;)
And now the Earth is not the same,
We built a world… that he reclaimed.
Howl if you love me!
Snarl if you care!
Growl like...

ICE
Ice is a strong force of nature.
Cold and gleaming from within.
Held by no law or direction.
Just a fanciful brain,
Seemingly a twin.
Reminds me of history, not so long ago.
Men in brown shirts on the go.

Frantic
The not so silent,
Frantics on the march.
Hovering over,
Waiting to pounce.
Because we forgot what life is all about.
Sending force full screams,
Too move people out.
Makes room for many more,
Who pay...

Analytical Thinking
Let's see how this goes.
A means of logical thought.
Taking inductive first,
What has been observed to make life worse.
People are not having fun,
Appear to be quite glum.
Groceries missing from the shelves,
What is...

Oh, How We FellAncient howling came back to Earth
And before long more species followed
Some contested against this unnatural birth
But no one could deny it’s monetary worth
Then after a little - our world was swallowed
Even though we lacked a time machine
We ended back up in...

Balance
Balance this please!
I'm on my knees.
Misplacing tens of thousands of people.
Legal tax paying people with families,
Across the seas.
Balance this please!
Businesses left to float,
While others begin to bloat.
Balance this...

Lies
Lies, lies, lies!
Nothing about but lies!
Cannot tell a lie,
Then nothing is believed as the day goes by.
Hearing a lie vibrates in my ears!
Rattles my brain just past my eyes.
Fabulous Forty Lies,
I've...

Isolate
The world turns,
Another country went away.
Not dissolved,
Just to disappointed to stay.
I am embarrassed,
To admit where I travel from.
Fellow travelers all say, " It's not you personally that turned away."
I feel responsible...

The Beast
The Beast is in the yard.
Says he's a vegetarian,
But I wonder at the blood.
He has a verbiage that means naught!
As a Beast,
He eats a lot.
My neighbors, friends, and workers disappear!
Their wives...

The HuntIt was a strong opponent,
it fought against us very well.
Many of us were slaughtered
before it finally went down.
Again and again it tried to run,
but we chased it down each time.
We will never give up the hunt.
We will always persevere.
But this one had surprised us;
it flashed its hardened steel.
It cut down many of the pack
and deflected...

The Storm
The storm is rising.
Dogs shiver with the thunder.
Cats hide in lightning flashes.
People lose their way.
The tide is coming.
Sweeping away hopes and dreams.
Families struggle.
No food or shelter to protect the vulnerable ones.

The Sea RemembersThe sea remembers all it cannot keep,
Each wave a story, crashing into shore,
Its secrets held in silence, buried deep.
A sailor's prayer, a widow’s dreamless sleep,
The driftwood echo of a lover’s lore—
The sea remembers all it cannot keep.
It sings of storms and treasures lost in sweep,
Of shipwrecked years and voices heard no more,
Its secrets held in...

Homeless
Missed the ones
Not seen
Sleeping in the culvert
By the stream
Sounds carrying
Rodents scurrying
The ones not seen
Furry
Measuring each tiny step
Silence thundering on
Quietly rising
