Drugs
...I've never been slapped with such a hard dose of

i can’t dance alone
...It’s a broken world
we need imperfect solutions
and there are plenty of questions

when I was beautiful
...When I was beautiful
A rose in bloom
a field mouse
Climbed my stem
fell asleep in the center
To inhale and sleep
in my fragrance.

Comfortable Christmas
...Is He crowded out of Christmas
By the commerce and the cry
Of a thousand advertisers
Urging everyone to buy?
Do the cards and coloured candles
And the clustered fairy-lights
Keep the Christ-c...

The church is a man-made institution
...How dare they take the words from
Your mouth and the nails from
Your hands
and pass them off as from
their own flesh and blood.
They, who never bled a single drop in the name of others,

A New World
...Minds turned into images
Barren moments, parched feelings
Drowned in haste and unease,
Self-indulgent and covetous
Desolate technology slaves
Imprisoned in closed cabins
Chained to...

rose revolution

I was born a beautiful rose
up my stem, a mouse climbed
to inhale my scent and sleep
in the center of my bud

Dis-Grace
...Disgrace to me is nothing...
but I spurn true love of you.
I drive a wedge between our hearts
and foil your designs.
I cannot do this alone.
Alone, I would be a self-indulgent monster
doomed ...

a lingering fluttering flicker of self indulgent doubt.
I am but a small one, an itty bitty insignificant flake of dust,

One Wild Flower
...A wild flower, grew up through
a crack in the pavement, I wondered,
why already not trampled
by so many preoccupied feet?
Sat I down on a
park-bench, further pondering this yellow
charmer,...

With their hands around our throat?
We eke by as our funds all die,
While all their dividends bloat.
Corruption and greed rule the day,
In a capitalistic sta...
