Like blazing colors in the shank of the evening, chases deep blues away.

It was an occupation that I enjoyed, as helping others...

I know you've heard the story.
I think everybody has.
About the Downey boy who won second place
In everything that was.

In every city-wide contest,
Dave's results seemed just the same.

Second place...

They sit at benches;
Small legs swing above
Green industrial tile.

They sit at benches;
Thin arms cross around
Frail, frightened bodies.

They sit at benches;
Lips thinned upon
Tightly clenched teeth.

They sit at benches;
Down-cast eyes inside
Sunken, hollow faces.

They sit at benches;
Tiny fists...

Why schools?
We are not clear
WiseElder sighed
in desperate fear.

Why guns at school?
Where teachers try
and pine for Golden EcoRules.

We sacred pry to teach
cooperation
And in return
guns rape our secular market nation.

We strive to learn
not to waste life
what God...

don't always deal in what is referred to as "fair consequence."
Being an empire built of sharks, snakes, wolves, and rats-the most basic of beasts-

O god! Why community raises:
Where are you?
Show thy supernatural powers.
Why don’t you visible to us?

I had a belief that,
No one had ever seen you.
But, I can witness you, my lord.
You’re my spirit and my hope.

This song;
	      For you
		It goes back to time
		Of ages compacted with lime
Something like;
	Aiming an arrow to the pupil of the bull’s eye
	Or poaching the miniscule creatures above
	It was us! Remember?

>Why do we write poetry?

Why do we write poetry?  Enter competitions, galore.
Is it to seek glory?  Or be in print for evermore?
I wish I knew the answer.  I really wish I did.

Wait for me

Superb memories abounding 
Which keeps funding
With kindest emotion
My hearty devotion 
Playing thy guitar 
But we are
Not to share
What duties ensnare
And the...

"Alone is an addiction for Agoraphobics," ... by The Poet

Fireplace, beg a question; spark fuels naught?
Tired face lit the embers that awaken,
iron mace walled, beyond, fox and bears fraught.
My birthplace well-hushed that quiet sneak-in.

Be with another rather than behold
Sight of the blind gifted to everyone
Absorbing action, instead of what we're told
Big speech shrunk, replaced by worthy deeds done

Closed eyed deep listening, imbibed intent
Disregard for flair, sparkle, pomp, parade
Blossomed...

Moan my name in delight
