Keep Moving
This is a season for peace but not where the war rages, not as our country men die, not as the grill burns human flesh and the sky rains ash. My dear friends, do not tire out as the bombs drop, As the gangs plunder, our babies starve, and friends go missing. As the water dries out, as the chasm widens, when moon shows no light and...

It's that color in the sky of black and white A faded dull color like dynamite Remnants of fireworks on display That dulls the ground where their ashes lay But soon the wind will blow them away...

The Days I Keep
Some days, I only make it as far as the sink, to wash my hands and brush my teeth. Water runs, but nothing gets washed away. Still, I count it a victory- a flag in the dirt of another morning. The mirror does not lie, but it doesn't tell the full truth either. It doesn't show the arguments I won by walking away. It doesn't show...

I'LL KEEP SINGING ANYWAY
Every echo that falls from your shadowed line, Or silence that hums like a hymn half-said Ah, I hear… sorrow speaks through you So yes, I know —You're the song my soul has bled Each branch that bows where the breeze once played, Or the stillness where sunlight used to stay Ah, I see… beauty fades without you So yes, I know...

I cannot keep up
This pace I cannot keep up Soon we're going to call it a wrap The more I blink the more agile it gets Every time I breathe, it's on my life I'm placing the bets This dirging song gets louder in my head As I nigh the end I don't know if I'm going to be...

Premium Member Thought I had Better Keep My Mouth Shut
They came for the ones who floated in on streamers. I did not care, they weren’t relatives or anything. Then the soldiers came for the polka dotted ashtinglers. I was never fond of them, so I ignored their screams. When they came to take away the marshmonitors, I almost stepped in. But they had guns and bayonets, and they were...
