Bad On Bad Parts 1-2-3-4-Now 5
1
We've been riding now, for days
On this dry and dusty plain
Headed to a land, that's never tasted rain
The posse has been thinning out
As men head back to town
So, that just leaves you and me
To track...

Morning Adventure
(FOR MA'ARUUFAH ODETUNDUN)
Today I was but walking on my path, full of self-confidence,
heading towards a purpose I had set from my residence.
My humble head bowed very low, I pressed forward in haste,
yet I was mindful...

Lucifer's Question
God meant well
But, when he created heaven, he also created hell.
When he created Jesus, his brother, The Devil fell.
Like a jilted fly in the sacred ointment
Every day since has been his long day of atonement.

Ghosting
Sleep, those putrid portions of decay,
wither away at my conscience,
and nudge my crusted eyes open,
to the pain of daylight usurping the drape.
Legs slump, feet thud the carpet,
to another unwelcome day,
how many times will I have...

how to introduce what is out there to your soul and mind?
how to understand that which exists, in that period of time?

A Cliched Theme In Rhyme

Your soul will go missing like the crackling fire.
They told you -- they advised -- to accept it and live
Use up the time that your creator did...

What a Waste
We throw away everything
We produce too much
We damage the earth
We do ourselves a great harm
A wasteful society we are
We use up and pollute
Sparing no thought for tomorrow
Earth is a bountiful place
It can meet...

Given the Chance
(Verse 1)
Lost in life
They're checking out the way you seek
The talk is all over town
Worrying about the fruit you bear
It's gonna be so bittersweet
But I know them
I know their confusion
What's right for you
Ain't always right...

Scraps; Volume 1
Henry VIII
Henry VIII king of England, he had six wives,
Half of which had rather shorter lives.
Three died, two divorced and the last was glad by far,
For she outlived him, her name Catherine Parr.

Inner Child
In the unrestrained laughter of children,
is the exalted, purity of joy.
Just seeing that first Crocus of the Spring
or kittens, their antics, exuberant.
You can't help but smile, in wonderment,
at the abundance of simple pleasures.
To watch vibrant...

The Country Cemetery
The Country Cemetery
By Elton Camp
This burial yard is the oldest around
Graves of the early 1800s are found
And it remains in use up to this day
When death’s call folks must obey
Oldest markers are fieldstone rude
With hard-carved...

POPPIES & MUSHROOMS

One to inhale with my big brown eyes.

Join me in this lollipop fight.
Till we say Goodnight.

Investing Dreams
Perhaps creating too many companies
would use to much of the world resources
yet investing in farms would grow more crops
Perhaps creating more companies
would use up the world's resources

It's Just the Way We Are
We hold onto things the tightest,
When we are forced to let them go-
We always want things a certain way,
When we know it can’t be so.
Dreams always last the longest,
When they are furthest from...

Now the man wanted to cut it down
he wasn't...

The Modern Generation
The modern generation

To welcome it’s arrival
But once it’s welcomed
There is no survival
It’s taking away many people especially...

Canned, frozen, or fresh just couldn't keep up the pace.

The solution of course, stared us both in the face.

The Thrill of Imagination
We waste our time on silly things
mindless of what tomorrow brings;
we use up moments that are simply banal,

Many afternoons in July or August
