A simple maneuver, changes the color of their skin
No matter the surroundings, one thing is clear
You may not see him, despite him being...

Gonifs and gossips revisited

since originally being crafted
approximately half dozen
dirty deeds done dirt cheap years ago...

which caused in us sense of guilt
since our stance perhaps did cause
to put her heart’s joy on pause

though we’re gentle, not hostile
we diminished her soul’s smile

Censorship. What we can see and hear. 
Limited. Possibly to stop mass fear. 
Or perhaps, censored so we adhere.

Tolerance
Understanding
Support

I expected more
Yes, I’m an idealist
I have a better name….
A fool

It's a special time of year
There's scary things and ghostly beings
Meant to bring out fear

or if I'm just obsessed with what's in your...

a lack of time to spend on
any real connection beyond
the immediate fleeting moments,

The Final Home Coming
 
From where the sky meets the high seas
Talking drums rolled out endless eulogies
As we waited, with the shore’s mud up to our knees
Some even did dance to the rhythm - no apologies

See that you've found the circus
We're so glad that you got the invite
Entertainment that is certainly worth it

A lesson taken in physics class
