The colorful display of power of the people —
waving of the red, white and blue; freedom
rings, slowly, building to a crescendo
to include all the melting pot called...

the evidence of things not seen.

His net was dry and become brittle
Anyone could see it hadn’t been cast
In many months
The foaming sea roiled on the breaking waves 

Outside his hut, the baking sun burned the pebbles on the beach
The old...

To say what he meant to me.
One from out of the whole wide world

He was my son, my only son,
The first of my children...

Derives from a mid-16th century text from Old French
Illustrated best by the Inquisition and the Holocaust
But it conjures up a long history of human stench
While the odor lingers in...

Our hearts have chambers, four in all;
   like caves, they are defined and seen.
But there are hidden caves within
   where our emotions live between.

The Cave of Love, the largest one,

My first and foremost want abides beyond eternity.

All of us together there...

On the 28th storey silenced by the sight
Of steeples and monuments, towers at twilight
I gazed out the window in awe at Berlin
And thought of the war the bombs and the sin.

The City now built to...

As the waving brezze
so the wayward trees
as the air surrounds, engulfs me

There is ONE
A ONE
Whose created all this and more

His name is Abba Father
He is God
He is God
He's Lord

and not like your mother,
no not like...

If America is to survive,
it must grow up and realize that its very
soul is very full, too full
of hate, racism, crime and disrespect for
its fellowman and its creator.
We all believe that police forces have

Where friendships are large and peace abounds.

Around the world similar people are found.

Those who care to share their love.
Those who see parallels in life…

It cost nothing to say ”how are you”;
It cost nothing to say that I care;
It cost nothing to pray for your fellow man
Will you won’t you...

Injustice has a name!

Twenty years in prison, detained because he refused to kill
his fellowman in wartime, was against his conscience and will.

Twenty years in prison, arrested without real cause
freedom of conscience there, means nothing at...

When you kept getting up
After you've fallen
Endurance was already there

When you kept fighting
the anger in you
Peace was already there

When you understand
the why - way you behave
Knowing others is already there

When you finally let go

The New Year    
   
Tradition gives us Auld Lang Syne
Pursuing resolutions that are benign
We seek to supercede the past
For the next to be better than the last

The past is, "water-under-the-bridge"
Yesterday...

Concerning myself on where my feet alone trod
Where my mind lounges
What my mood would convey
I believe I'd know peace of...

Sacrifice 
Hardships, however hard they try,
Will always be cruel.
Down, down, down into the darkness of the hardships,
Gently they go - the harsh, the barbarous, the inhumane.

How happy is the true atonement!
Are you upset by how...

Empty hearts;
Broken faces;
Displaced smiles;
Feelings of ungratefulness;

Crowded minds;
Rushing times;
Points of uneasiness;
Hurting rhymes...

My Oh!!! My
Why?

Broken promises;
Misplaced harnesses;
How can I embrace my fellowman;
Where is his love;
Why he hate me so;
And what am I to do when he says...
