And as you...

So Let It Be

I don’t answer

Intensely personal questions people ask
For these shreds to pieces what is truly me
The pieces are of no use to them though.

Shikata Ga Nai


Pervasive personal questions people ask,
shredding to shards what truly is me.
The pieces are of no use to them though,
the effort seems at times 
to stem from veiled spite,
incisive curiosity or even subtle affront.
I forcefully flinch...

The Heart of the Matter

Society seems hellbent to chuck, 
the moral codes that hold it fast
so why are we so thunderstruck,
when cruel crimes the tube broadcast?

Once Adam sinned, man’s heart turned bad.
Cain killed Abel for being good.
Sin displeased God...

Rehashing History: Christopher Columbus, a Man With a Plan

Columbus was not the slightest bit offended
At King Ferdinand's dismissive sound
When he declared the world was round,
His was not a plan that very many comprehended.
Though the queen, Isabella, thought Chris a fine fella,
Her spouse wanted...

The Ecstacy of Rain

Life giving, purifying drops from heaven
Buffeted by a gusty wind, cascading droplets of rain
Moistening parched land, nourishing farmland
Replenishing lakes and ponds, absorbed by desert sand
Quenching the fabled chatak’s thirst
A bird, fabled to drink only from...

I Surrender

I surrender,
I have fought the good fight,
I have outlasted most,
In the fight that is seemingly lost.

So one day in the future he might be the...

Follow the Leader

I am the thing humans want most
Changing hands, this way and that 
Dirty, stale, but this wasn't always so

Issued from a cloning machine, brothers-in-arms 
Cut from the...

I am about to block you for becoming a troll
Maybe too much attention from her I stole
We should dispense with all of the suspense

We Are Stuff As Dreams Are Made On

A bird in hand is worth two in the woods
Teaches us to take care not to be greedy
In the air, quite very easy to build castles
The water and the image are not a reality.

Allegory - or - Fanfare for Corpocracy's Rise

In silence, we watch shadows pass
they shape our thoughts and feed the farce

Moulding lives to fit the lies

And scared of what we do not know
we do not move or...

When Lightning Strikes

turning things we treasure to ash.

 From high above mountains and hills
