Will you make the cut?
Or settle for a shortcut?
Coaches' scuttlebutt

Execute the steal 
Professing rather than real
The truth to conceal

Men try to judge Him
When self-righteousness rules them
Worthless...

They Caught Me Young


The first cut is a cut so deep-
Internalising this impression
Has made me stir and creep
With invariable precision!

Great Writers caught me young
Whilst an exploring youth.
Leaning on the sublimely tongue
Exorcised my being uncouth!

Teachers, too,...

Tis Cheaten heart
time I was having my taxes done
In this room.. quietness spread

Then came this girl.. 
stood in front of me
Then loudly she said..
Hi! You don't know me
But I know you

Humans shaming us with deeds vile as any satanic rite
Lumps of flesh dumped in alleys under cover of darkness
Blessed not to know life, spared a sorry plight
From biological parents who met to sate compelling desires...

You’re certainly missing out
Whilst you’re fooling about
And you’re swimming in doubt
So I shall certainly you out-rout
I’d advise you to be on the lookout
For I’m your rival, far more worthy a scout
Take heed or you’ll end...

The terror and trouble I fear
I have my fears to keep me grounded
with some air left to breathe
All I see is re(a)d all over you
The anger in those eyes

They came over from the barn as quickly as they heard.
They were going to be stern. I laughed and said “absurd!”
Two backed down quickly, Uncle Nick and Cousin Peter.
My grandpa backed up and away, about...

Sweet baby, I bought you a soft blanket -
vanilla with tender dots, a llama attached, 
to welcome you into this chilly world.

And darling girl, I whispered prayers for you,
on nights you spent in the dark...

and the brain does the beating for my
heart
thinking that it is all a recipe for...

You meet and shake hands
Things seem fine, real grand

You're married; so are they
You all work for your pay
He's a dentist; she's in social work
Professionals, not lowly clerks  

Then you notice their kids. They're strange,...

Forgive all my attempts
To make you a magician
Coming to you in dozens of time 
Like a musician and an artisan
At times like a comedian.
A true art of chameleon in religion clothing
Approaching you only for assistance

Who will take after me when am gone.

Love shall abide with them forever and ever.
They shall bring salt and pepper to me
Run errand to...

To take after the blue of the sky?
Or to be grey...

And 
What we do to it on an average day
How our choices affect it in every...

and as far as I could see it had millions of coffins, some expensive
others looked home-made.

The sun was forever going down but threw rays...

Some scribblings that pass for poetry 
Yes they bear style and symmetry 
But very wordy and message thin
And however much you listen keen 
There’s little or nothing to be drawn
Not a mind thrilled, not a...

here I am again, waiting for my turn.

trying hard not to let my faith bend.

Can't life be easy, like swift waves in motion,
