Let murderers subdue the guilt within
let not such burdens weigh upon your heart,
for bound by oath, your troopers are akin
to brothers that share equally in part.
‘Tis fiendish pride that fills your evil corps
of blackened angels,...

What is the stone for, Jacob?
Surely the Lord is in this place,
But I did not realize it!
I saw His stairway in my dream,
This is the Gate of Heaven!
I will set this stone as sacred,
And pour...

Mother taught me her proverbs to ring like a bell in the chapel of my brain
Better days are coming – angels filling the sky with joyous refrain
The darkest hour is here before dawn – I...

Our skills of trust have fallen into dangerous levels of atrophy
As cyber-optic dream worlds pump ‘values’ into our core
The eyes of men and women taught to view each other with suspicion
And as cliché as the...

America 
By: Tom Wright
1/28/99

America, so beautiful
what does she mean to me?
Foremost, I can worship God,
in a land where I'm free.

A land where opportunities,
exist within my reach.
I'm free to pick and choose at will,
holding office, or...

Tale of The Night Movers

Hail, a phantom moon
traversing its cloaked
chambered recesses
of her prevalent crown.

Unspool gently and host
minding eyes immersed 
within your ethereal pull
exacting Cupid's pursuit
impresses dependably.

Slay suspicious initiatives
yond hints of...

The sharp suited man
With the Legal Degree
Looks back over years 
To pass judgement on me.
While he was getting drunk
In student Uni bars
I was uniformed and fighting
Our country’s various wars.

The greatest impulse
Is the will to survive
To...

Road to Recovery
by Michael R. Burch

It’s time to get up and at ’em
and out of this rut that I’m sat in.

A man may attempt to burnish pure gold, but...

If to be a winner, I must first suck up,
Then instead, I will gladly lose.
If to gain popularity means kissing butt,
Then a path alone I will seek and choose.

If to climb the ladder is scoring...

The fusion of indecision and imprecision robs lives of vitality
Freezing minds in a state of petrified fear
That slays sagacity, perspicacity and versatility
In circumstances where room for a tear

Lives and survives in dreams and screams
Born from...

Leave free agents alone
Bully
For they’ve got no time to be the clone
You hurt truly and deeply

In games without aim
Where you torture and suture at will
Treating victims the same
Way happiness you steal

To boost your roost
Bereft of...

 Thought, how resounding it is,
 now that everyone is thinking
 mentation drums as mantra,
 at once each considers linking
 reason deemed illogical,
 blessed now with national rethinking
 purpose gathered within this storm,

SILENCE CONDONES DU & DRONES

McEmpire's
Dollar menu
Serves up fast kills -
Who pays the bills?
Spent uran'yum? -
Small watts; big ill.
To store, or $ell?
Makes heavy  shell.
Blasts through walls well.
Recycled hell.
Deployed now, $well!

The order's passed:
Deep fried dark ass.

Drink up daredevils!
It’s not a joke.
The human toe in your drink 
Is not just taking a soak. 

It’s challenged many drinkers 
And many have exclaimed, 
“Ewwww, What’s going on?...

The truth may not be
what it seems,
when wry words
penetrate innocent
minds and classic
flora
like sweet hemlock,
waits with a secret agenda.
 “A labyrinth of schizophrenic
evil of a mind
about to begin”

Take the Pyramids of Egypt
a wondrous sight for all,
who...

Line of inquiry: 

truth imbibed
awaits assimilation
we feel it in our bones
in time dissolved meditation

they silently seek the stars who softly weep
glorious oaks with their gentle leaves so bright
laugh and...

We dream, we wish, we hope, we pray, who are we?
Are we the many, slaves, abused, malnourished, are we?
Humanity ruined by the arrogant, no thought of humanity!
Power unlimited, their alibi to murder, flag power.
Untruths...

Alone in his cell, an inmate said,
"Truly, I have escaped the baseness of humans-
that inveterate vice which condones condemnation.”
No longer will he mistake loathing for love, enmity for
amenity or abhorrence for adoration.
Here, who you are,...

time between seasons passes slow

Impatient we are as leaf buds grow
Carefree summer takes her time
A sudden chill - unwanted snow 
As  slowly the sun begins to climb

time between seasons passes slow

Crocuses bloom announcing Snowdrops
Daffodils...

Gods Will


Everyone who believes in God

Denies responsibility for life

Everyone who believes in God

Denies creation and the stars 

They are blind to the heavens above us

Everyone who believes in God

Relinquishes their faith in love

And condones unseen...

Some people forgive once,
and believe that it's so right; 
some people forgive twice,
but then shut their heart! 

I have forgiven
a thousand times,
never regretted 
what I've done;
keep on forgiving
a thousand times:
no soul can be sold
to devilish...
