Law Poems

Struggling day by day with a heavy darkness searching for grace to erase my past.

I walk with my head down cast ashamed of myself, emotions, and...Read More

When the sun looks into darkness 
upside down cowboy's lend a hand to chaos 
deserters of faith rejecting lawful behaviour

deceit has no value with an opinion against the truth

No law or proclamation
decrees that a day started wrong will continue that path.
Life can be either a bushel or a peck,

Bowling ball bag
Delivered to a large law firm
No one wants to open it

Or get close enough
To listen
To see if it is ticking

What if it is a head? Someone whispers
No one laughs, many thinking the same thing
President of company approaches

Picks it...Read More

King of this barn I am said the owl, and he said it in one loud caw.

a weed or Aristophanes?

The cries of ignorant crowds.
or something in 'The Clouds'?...Read More

Teeter totter

This is my voice, writing from within too without
For a long time, I wasn't listening to my soul.

Cyrus...

President of the country, 
not like any that came before. 
Or... Like any that will follow. 
Standing in the gap between the flood, 
and the waters of eternity, 
threatening to consume the weak, 
kill the innocent, 
and feast on the...Read More

Which saddened my new wife
Mom now, after years of strife
Says I married up in life!

Your lips are so soft tonight
like young truth 
on the fingertips of my fantasies,
I know it's dangerous for you
it's dangerous for me too,
our hearts could become hostages
to ancient laws of Love,
the leather of the law may be applied
silk used to...Read More

Once upon a time in Erin land,

And her children drank to their fill

Uncle Jason, 
something he was chasing.
He was looking for something to fulfil a void.
Because of God’s love and mercy, he wasn’t destroyed.
He was on drugs for over 20 years.
Night after night he cried bitter tears.
Without getting high he couldn’t function.
Without...Read More

Education should be a person's right
This does not come easy to those who fight
For the chance to use their brain
To the best of their ability
It's easier to give up and live a life of futility
A life never fulfilled
All hope and...Read More

Unwritten law it has to be green
Or you cannot add the cottage cheese

Unwritten law it has to be red
Or you cannot add the banana circles
Mom’s rule
