Along with the relatives in dirty dark cabins

Calling their lost friends, parents and cousins
They had lost their...

The Religious Prostitute
Our religious institutions
Are now filled with spiritual prostitution
Worshiping dollar bills
Instead of the one whose blood spilled.
Preachers administer biblical laxatives
Making many thin
Where is the Holy Spirit?
Who is supposed to shine within?
There is Accountability
And...

The sun awakes early each day

The storm and the thunder, the waves of the sea
The weapons of destruction, if you think and see
Pen is the mirror of heart...

Over my shoulder in her journey earthward
To become part of the pile on the sward
One leaf fell and touched me in her pass.
Elegantly shapely and surprisingly light,
I felt she...

against the Provincial, the Municipal man.

who treats us, his constituents, his voters as fools.
Our voices are stilled, silenced...

Loves Endless Tears
Now
I dream
Aimlessly
Always searching
Looking, seeking yet
Never finding
My lost love
Gone long
Ago
Eyes
So deep
So tranquil
Soft and gentle
Yet full of such mirth
And happiness
Joy was found
In her
Eyes
Black
Silken
Flowing hair
Framing a face
Delicate and bright
Those dark tresses
Caressing
Skin so
White
Blood
Red lips
Ruby bright
How I long for
Her passionate...

Despise the betrayal, proclaim...

Spring Is Coming Soon
Spring is coming soon - and thank the Lord!
Resplendent blossoms renovate each tree.
It cannot get here quick enough for me,
Nor does it linger long. The shining sward
Gleams, garlanded with daisies. Every pond
Is laced...

The House On the Hill
The clouds throw shadows from the sky
on where the field hand seeks reward,
his reap leaving a golden sward
over the ground where sunlight lies.
Atop a rise a fine house stands
that somehow there does not impose
though alien...
