Introspection

I I write because I’m aware of the fact 
I’m losing time
I’m Struggling to gain insight 
In a world that’s blind
Outlining the blueprint 
that’s stuck in my mind
Acting with a reason
And intention to rhyme
An intention...

Generic Germane Groveling Guy Still Wallows In Weltschmerz

Yours truly does readily confess
the following poem crafted more or less
approximately a year ago,
when coronavirus (COVID-19)
wrought havoc creating global mess
when panic against collective temple did press
a feeling of melancholy and world-weariness.

Radio

Hearing the whispers and hisses of a dreadful day
Without a word to say
Only the voices of winds howling "look how they sway, sway"...
Puddles It ruddles it will stay...
Never will it go away...

Rain is coming...
But thunder...

Petticoat Junction) naturemade

Life, where? Everywhere, never pulled back
Go on, live on, wildlife soars in the world,
Further, the ship swirls, sinks, vanishes.
A circular waterfall, something pulled me into the depths, 
a woman pulled me to death.

For Election Day 2016

When I think about this year 
and all the stories that we hear
of Clinton's crimes, and Trump's remarks,
and how the media embarks

on efforts to distort the truth –
it makes me want to be the sleuth

In Times Like These

For such a time as this: 

…when enhanced community quarantine
causes angst, grievously torturing…

...when lockdown brings ennui
of senseless boredom that seems to be forever…

…when pandemic’s cure
being clamored for is still uncertain…

…when disease-virulence continues to attack
inflicting even...

Time

Time
Nothingness in it belies
A continuum, uncanny
In all lives it defines
Love, hate, rage and litany

A motion on its own
Sweeping, inescapable
A yardstick mankind bemoans
Perpetual journey, irreversible

It’s life’s anathema
Yet it counts life
It’s a thing of enigma
That heaven had...
