'Cause they buy from China (treats workers like sheep
(So farmers left...

Unwoven Memories
I grew up and out on a four family-owned,
and cooperatively-organized,
extended matriarchal farm.
Four interdependent 1940s through 1970s patriarchally managed businesses,
without substantial questions about who should wear pants,
yet with a surprising matriarchal cooperative understory.
The boxers outnumbered the...

The Town Hall
Deep concern across the land, respect is all but gone
protesters attack, harass, all night until the dawn
Looking closely, feeling pain, no such thing as fair
doesn't happen, in your face, shut you down they swear
Simple rally,...

FATHER
Father, a strong figure,
who we look up to and admire
for he is the provider and the protector,
who puts roof over our head
and puts food on the table.
A good father is a good provider,

Waves of Hope, Oceans of Despair
They're children of the sand, sand in an hourglass
Sands of time running out, running from their past
Desert winds howl, howl like hungry ghosts
Howling louder than bombs and tyrannical hosts
Little feet march, march across scorched earth
Marching...

As if in another lifetime
Han discerned a sound and movement
Stiffly rose to look about him
And he saw his precious Matto
Crouching near him in the vessel!

Sinful Politics Condemns God's Word
The Government's behaviour firstly no longer defends our church
this mockery in itself shows a deep lack of good sense
or the simple sourced judgement to cast defiance
within this ruling class displayed
Openly liars...

Where Were You
So you don’t care
About your marriage?
Don’t care about your children?
Don’t care how you hurt them?
How your oblivious to your actions
That’ve caused a chain reaction.
You don’t care of quality time
With those you love?
You don’t care about...

The System
the environment western society has created
does not compliment our energy
the system is not pure
too many political figures are corrupt
their words are not genuine
their actions are not legitimate
their hearts are not noble

Shay Kin Daughter's Death Defying Automotive 360 Degree Spin
Alive, yet shaken to the
core of her lovely bones
youngest offspring unexpectedly
lost control of vehicle and groans
papa unable to comfort her,
she inconsolable sobbing tears
muffling thru telephones
safe and sound nonetheless
shook up like rolling stones.
Though dwelling bajillion miles...

Perdition
A life on ships, a–sailing
A–rolling on the sea
Misspent days and misspent nights
Ol' Davey Jones and me
A wayward list, to starboard, boys
A leeward tack we found
We'll spend our days on the briny sea
And our coin...

I Ate My Gull Friend
Far adrift from the shores of myself or anything else,
wind and current don't play any favorites
they just do their own silent-timeless-
unravelling dance.
Whittling days into wormwood,
making friends with a chatty gull
or is it just waiting...

I cried for help
They called it attention
Worsening how I felt
hurting a horrid situation only had myself
I struggle to describe my pain
So they label me a liar
