to adults.......
they would listen and...

She struggled frantically as she was yanked from the bed
Hauled into the street straight to the temple, no match for her rabble size
With bare foot struggling to find their footings
Hammered fear, cold deafeningly in her...

The Illusion of Free Will
What of "Free-Will," of which the prophets foretold?
A cruel little lie, bore of simple human design,
are our minds even capable, of the power to choose?
Or, are we blind sheep, being herded by the flock,
wrangled all...

Prince of This World
Prince of this world,
you've meddled in the affairs of mankind
since the beginning
From the time of the Egyptian pharaohs,
whose gigantic pyramidal tombs
had been built primarily by slave labor
A living testament to man's ingenuity and cruelty
Then you...

Unmasked

Inside a boisterous tavern,
a-light with drunken gaiety
of spilled ribald laughter,
he quietly sits alone ...
gently cradling his mead darkly
Brooding thoughts of past paid coverings
buzzes inside his head
Talking flies having the faces of the dead
“Have mercy, please”
This...

Death Sentence Innocence
Roman capital punishment,
crucifixion morphed into 
another raised gravity depravity
Guillotine justice dropping down —

Time pendulum swinging ...

Face the firing...

This Little Pole Boy
There used to a small boy,
without a mom or dad.

he wouldn't say a thing.
Just like a bird eager to fly, but without...

Absurdity
Lo, Meursault, the hero, of the novel, 'the outsider',
Is spun by absurdity, like the web of a spider.

Neither religion nor society does affect him,
Nor does anything like Faith and Hope make him sing a hymn.

I'm in a tight spot

no sacred way
