We walk with the information of
quasars and the discernment of protoplasm.
Each day we live and die, each day our tears run dry.
Information is the rubble, the clutter of our civil war.
Reality becomes disposable when fact and
fevered fiction are made coequals,
when the rampancy of lies massacres the truth.
Each day we live and die, each day our tears run dry.
Propaganda walls our gated communities, our guarded cells.
So many concoct frightful conspiracies from techno-witchcraft.
So many dehumanize and scapegoat from delusive threats.
Each day we live and die, each day our tears run dry.
So many are captive here to the craven complex of revenge.
So many swallow here, the mollifying Fentanyl
of a cruel and brutal state.
Clinging to the demagogue, no one is free.
Somewhere in the brownout, is there a beacon?
Somewhere in the nightmare, do we awaken?
Each day we live and die,
each day our tears run dry.

LET'S GO HOME
I have a God who loves me
And longs to take me home
To a place that's peaceful
Where I never more will roam
``````````````
Like the rest of humankind
I wandered from His side
I lived for self alone
Did not in Him abide
````````````````
My Creator loves me dearly
And yearned to save my soul
He revealed to me His promises
How He could make me whole
`````````````````
He let me know of wonders
That were in man's distant past
How we were once created
To have pure love so vast
`````````````````
Our minds and hearts were His
Meant to find our happiness
In giving love to others
Thus fill our hearts with bliss
``````````````````
His Son came to live and die
To prove to us His love
So we would be like Him
When we reach our home above
````````````````
This world is not my home
Is as clear as it can be
I want to take you there
When He returns for me

To live as an artist,
but die as a man
Dust forever chasing
—what heaven began

Dark falls between walls, following powerful lightning
This day is nameless, in the vast bottomless universe
Black rain, I believed in progress but the real truth became my lessons
Death is mute, time and eternity ... a poor soul
A taste of heaven perfume - for you I will live and die
Suffering and pain, go hand in hand
I used to have beautiful dreams, let me tell you why
A glimpse of sunlight, love, passion and hope
One hunger that the world remembers little of today
The candle burn no longer, watch out for the beast

In Thy Love-Realm I Would Gladly Live And Die
Feeding thy mind soft-sweet words, heart wrapped in pure silk
thou art breathe of morn, treasure of thy mother's milk;
composing within feverish high prancing gleams,
flowing in fantastic velvety seamless seams.
This poet-spirit lives solely within thy grace
its rare gentleness and warm welcoming embrace;
send this day, dearest words of thy beating heart's pleas,
paradise, romance made by both our shining seas.
In that feast, where heaven showers with love-gold flakes
thy kisses art panacea for this soul aches;
thy voice singing songs that make earthen angels cry
for in thy love-realm I would gladly live and die.

He looked in her eyes.
Pain. Fear. Demise.
All that was there.
Now lost. Forgotten.
Standing tall. Watch her fall.
Standing weak. Watch him sheek.
Speed of light. It moves too fast.
Not one. Not two. But hundreds to a few.
Little shards, needles made of diamonds.
They flow through the air.
Forming a circle.
There is no escape.
He can't control it.
She refuses to hide from it.
Circling around them. Fast.
Tears fall, down the eyes.
Love once had.
Shattered in time.
Truths hidden into lies.
Their destiny now tied.
Together they lived.
Through joy and happiness.
Apart they grew.
To split into two.
Now distant they stand.
Waiting for that one command.
Grew to hate. Torn by fate.
But die together. With shame and pride.

The spilt milk,
the crying eye,
apathetic attempts,
the closing mind.
The breath withdrawn,
the battle begins,
counting the stars,
the loser wins.
The cowering wolf,
the beautiful lie,
the ugly sheep,
bye bye, innocence, bye bye.
The want in need,
to live, to die,
the shallow belief,
the faith denied.

To Live and Die
of soft spoken tongue.
he knows what to do.
The gauntlet.,
Be careful of the razors edge.
Use your inner judgement.
The flashing night,
dreams within your mind talk, observe them,
Obey the warning signals
you will know the difference
just as night is day.
Listen carefully, the door is now open
walk through with confidence and above all
stand proud with sensitivity
To Live and Die is your choice, so decide
time is at hand.
Wither and wilt or breath all that is life!
