Forsaken and little short of being hanged,

Inciting sedition and for that I need do time?

Are they crazy or simply deaf,
Do they think I work for UNICEF,,
A...

Heroes Undone

We train men up to go to war. 
We train them to fight and kill,
the enemy. 
The people…
in foreign and domestic lands,

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 12

In the cab, upon the seat,
I spot an iPhone 5.
I hand it to the cabbie
Just as he begins to drive.

In minutes, it begins to ring.
An agitated voice
Says, “Bring the phones to my hotel,”
Not giving any...

Which gives me real pleasure

"Without Within"

It just takes one over-zealous do-gooder 
to set the dominos of destruction on a roll
and the war begins 

without within
within without

heaven was trampled that day
the kangaroo court had its way 
and all dreams were...

Effort may be a true sign of devotion.

It comes, most beautifully, in the altruism
of little gestures
unconscious
yet loving...

sometimes it is forced, as in a smile,
when the last thing we want to do
is bare our teeth
