Masking tears of despair, and rivers of agony
Seem in no hurry to crest
In this orb that is my world, I stand in frozen animation

why life consists...

Nat the Nut's Prophetic Vision

Somebody wrote a letter to the local rag,
but no one (who mattered, that is)
really seemed to mind.
Of course, you...

Watch out, watch out for the man in the street
Who is finding a voice that you don’t want to hear.

And for too long,...

Grief greets sorrow this sad sad day;
Broken hearts feel the dry March air;
A taut hollow now comes our way;
A certain chill brings death to bear.


In the last light when sleep brought rest,
Your soul found ease...

Reflection
He stood at the Crossway begging for alms.
His demeanor looked like he was singing the psalms.

With folded hands, gazing at the sky he mutters.
The spewed words that tormented his grey matter.

Half naked, he sometimes sways,...

DICTATOR – SUCCESSOR - DICTATOR

Absolute power lies in his hands,
How his chest expands!
How long does a Dictator last,
This era should now
Become the past.
His greedy ego,
Should not be fed,
The people all agreed and said,
His hedonistic ways,

Love Doesn'T Run
Love doesn't run.
Love stumbles through like the drunk old man in the street.
Love is slow like the crippled old lady who tries so hard to live own her own.

The one thing love does not know...

Confronting conflict
So much to say;
Not much said


Momentary surge
Foolish inquisition;
Curiosity rambles


Trial and error
Foresight blurring;
Curious burdens pain


Age feels fatigue
Turmoil in body-mind;
Forgetfulness lingers


Wandering in circles
Arrival starts ending;
Hurl new departures


Moment to moment
Change boomerangs;
Jigsaw puzzle gamble


Hidden agendas
Many pieces void;
Crazy feelings...

As He Calls My Name...
What a Happy day,

What a Happy day
as He calls my name,
as I hear His voice,
I just look his way.
What a Happy Day,
As I feel His warmth,
As I feel his...

And because of it, we are all living in hell
