I find it amusing
on this perpetually empowering Election
impassioned Selection EarthDay

we have bedroom communities
and yet not live and thrive communications
for eco-political dialogue,

Why not more nakedly
and transparently...

"The core of knowledge is love"
Satha Sai Baba

This dark November night
in New England
has come but midway

I, not so bright,
have given in
without a fight

overpowering my...

and the leaves changing is Election Day. I meet

when speaking of politicians;
but instead, call them what they are…

We listen to their speeches; 
which are nothing more than, 
fictional stories.
Every election day, millions rush to the polls,
to vote for...

To do what the current cant for...

he snarled and told me off,
then married that young thing.

Special Days
Written: by Tom Wright
4/13/2006

It seems that for almost everything
We’ve set aside a special day.
We recognize others for their work 
And sometimes for their play;

And likewise for Fathers too;
I’m...
