sounds as the ramps lower
into the crowds. A roar goes
up towards the heavens,
A path to the savior is found.
the clowns role out, dressed
in makeup and robes, ready

Snuggling nosy
Licking I wash
Puking I pout

For Thy Will Be Donea flock of buntings

majestic feathers glowing
red blue green and yellow
swarming through
the
joyful atmosphere
swirling back and forth
in every direction
like an accordian motion
rendition of Gabriel's Oboe
thus
we give God
all the praises

all my faith
from thee

thy will be...

Chasm
The gap between rich and poor is growing,
The gulf is now shamefully wide,
And no doubt the evidence is showing.
It cannot be a matter of not knowing,
This "elephant" can scarcely be denied,
The gap between rich and...

Epitome Of Efficiency
The epitome of efficiency
women juggled
daily chores
babies
and
their
husbands
all the while
maintaining both
their dignity and femininity.

Collage Of Childhood
" How sweet to the heart are the scenes of my childhood" - Samuel Woodworth, 1785-1842.

to spread surreal splendor on landscape,
where thriving thicket wore emerald crown.
There my childhood morphed...

Juxtaposition
As homeless beggars beg for food,
partiers celebrate New Year's Eve.
Cheerful festivities flourish,
only steps from hungry bellies.
Drunken revelers sing Auld Lang Syne,
as homeless beggars beg for food.
Happy hugs and midnight kisses,
juxtaposed by their poverty.
The haves...

In my headI behold what I have created,
immaculate but yet not true,
a celestial conceptualization created by the chiseling edges of my fended anima.
Your image does not belong to you, but is simply carried by the many. As...

He's Such A Grump
Republicans revere Donald Trump
lining up to kiss his royal rump
and Mitch McConnell's lips
like his tongue, often slips,
it's no wonder he's such a grump.

Our Values Should BeOur values should be written
on posters with a believer's conviction
to incite a protest and end it
with peaceful intentions;
if others don't agree, ignore them.
Our values are the image
of ourselves, of what we proclaim to be
without compromising...

Just yesterday I left my dorm
Took some notes then drank some beer.
Living life was just the norm.

Where I Live
Let me tell you about a certain land,
Somewhere in the southern hemisphere,
There's not much water, but there's lots of sand,
Must have been tough to be a pioneer.
Somewhere in the southern hemisphere,
And, as you would have...
