I had been placed in chains 
Where the cripples shed their canes 
And the blind regained the art of seeing.
It was a robbers’ den 
And as all God fearing men, 
I had assets needed freeing.

Krakatoa Kritic #007

Let those comment who kill with soft words when they ‘get’ you!
Should we hold praise hostage, retreat when we can’t see
reciprocal giftings that laud what we write in return?
My take’s yours if you...

When sorrows bring me down
And I haven’t a friend to be found
When dread darkens my thoughts
And nothing I feel is worthwhile
When fear colors my whole world
And hues of black flow all around

There is the opportunity,...

Guns don't kill people,
PEOPLE kill people.
So they say.

I don't think one man could kill
59 people and wound 400+ (estimated)
if he didn't have guns.

Lot's of them.
And plenty of ammunition.

Is it perhaps time for a meaningful dialogue...

Aromatic sweet fragrance permeates our air
In eminence of your fragile Jasmine flowers
As lovingly you engage slender ruby buds
Tending to green foliage in softest of whispers
In verses of your heart, meant for me to hear;

Why I Don’t Give to Most Charities

By Elton Camp

Solicitations to make donations I usually decline
It may be your favorite charity, but it isn’t mine

And when the request for money comes by phone

“Come get your operation...

Stay elusive shade
of my beloved
I wish to caress
the rounded hills
of your form...

My hands seek
the fertile valleys
entangled in gentle branches
green and cool
that are you...

You, silent giver
of secret worlds
sweet love of non-illusion
hands of tender leaves...

With obedience of...
