Don't speak.

Yet I may have credential for qualifying voice.
For I, like some of you,
know what it means to develop cooperative,

A Rant – The Quiet Hypocrisy

and soon is ingrained in pliant minds

it mutates and thrives in tunnels of vision

and then is fused into the fiber of unreason

the quiet hypocrisy that...

With painted face and silent smiles they light the night so dim,
Oblivious to their stalker and his diabolic whim.
They'd come to sunny Florida to flee Maine's winter snow
And play their silent pantomimes on sidewalks as...

Americans have overcome many great trials,
But harbor too some persistent denials.
Stubbornly clutching long-held positions,
Over time have become national traditions.
Pride in the sanctity of individualism,
Elevates in stature, creating a schism.
Unresolved core beliefs, rationalization,
Test the thinking of...

And brings a man to his eternal joy.
A man who perceives another man’s needs, 
Whether physical, emotional,...

To take precedence to instinct,
Allowing feelings
To overcome common sense,
If only for the moment...

We let ourselves get swept away
By the waves of Deception...
Not Feeling, not being,
Not even living in reality,
If only for...

Whisper of Conscience

Because of the canticle of everlasting love
Like a sunlit lyric sung upon a path
Life’s essence sheds freckles of pacing anxiety
That echo through catacombs of consternation
In a whisper of untranslated dots of braille.

Teeter tottered between dock and boat 
Boarded with a box of supplies
