God Loves Me
No matter what you've done

I was in Idolatry, greed, covetousness, love of money,

Rule of Threes
Health of a nation
See the old and young station

Breeze moves the tree leaves
But turned to gusts the tree heaves
The wise man perceives
Things are a blessing
Until fury oppressing

The Protectors
Days filled of games, good thoughts, and silliness
When cookies and recess were the ultimate bliss

Imagination was key, Smiles and giggles a must
Popping balloons just to see...

Conspiracy of Violence
Nationalism,
nation supremacy,
rooted in competing patriarchal capital rivalries,
is entirely incompatible with EarthPatriotism
rooted in loyalty to cooperatively healthy matriotism
Wherever MotherEarth may yet be healthy climate rediscovered
in sensory input and outputs of a child
unbound breathing in enculturing good...

Midsummer Night's Eve Stroll
An evening stroll, on Midsummer Night's Eve ,
under the silver light of the horizon moon.
Life that burst among a small acreage,
of old-growth forests, flourished.
A delightful flurry of fireflies, drifting,
twinkle among the foliage, an amazing sight.
Echoing...

With such lightness and patterns and passion-filled phrases.

Tongue firmly in his cheek

Storm in a Tea Cup

Like a whispered secret, that refuses to subside,
Trivial troubles trip, tender ties that once did bind,
Leaving love's landscape littered, with the shards of a shattered mind.
Fragile feelings fray, furious fists...

To Evil
To Evil
You're apposite to Bad
Though abstract you are
We've seen your vivid actions
Through your acolytes
Your opposite, the Good.
Your rivalries long run forever
That one day -you will submit
To Godness- is not in your dictionary.
Your cohorts, men.

When Days Are Dark Friends Are Few
When passion fails, love remains
Hills flattened and thus will your obstacles
Even if it seems impossible
No one can withstand possibilities
Day after day try not to lose hope
Abilities pops up like mushrooms

So much of yesterday I can clearly see.
There was a man duly a part of my history.
