Suspended in tomorrow’s history?...

We won't ever be anybody's red
caped tin horned hero.
We seem local and suburban.
All pleased.

Her
Her star shines bright
Above the rest
She is my child
She is my best, of
All that I could give
Her blood and being
She has shared
With a world fleeing
Mediocrity....

This Love
Beautifully,
Divinely,
We fly like a dove
Mediocrity,
Idiocy,
We rise above
Jealousy,
Envy,
We happily shove
Unassailable,
Impenetrable,
This love...

They Also Ran
Ever since the world began
there were those who 'also ran.'
Not for them the highest grades,
not for them great accolades.
Mediocrity rarely shatter.
That they ran is what most matters....

Spurning Mediocrity
Competition ...
what keeps us alive
Sharpening our edges
fueling our drive
Setting new benchmarks
pushing the bar
Forever defining

Tween happy and sad, tween mediocrity and sublime
Today's a sublime one

Looking down on us mortals, this grand design...

Again, Broken
Wow ...
Please forgive me ...
Another exquisite creation
A piece of my soul laid bone-bare
Lost to the abyss of perspective
A sea of glaring cliche'
And mediocrity
Just. Wow....

Life In a Nutshell
Here it is, here's what it's all about
The joys, the sorrows, the expectations, the doubts
Life in a nutshell
In mediocrity, we dwell
Unless you're Bill Gates, then in true freedom we're doused...

Thursday morning, moon said goodbye
Painting words on hill up high
With some puppets on the watch
Like putting me down is their catch
I don't know how much bigotry
Is poured in minds of mediocrity

My Mission
Would you but sing to me,
A song of high ambition.
My mind being elevated,
I climbed aboard a vision.
Flying high above mediocrity,
There's been no indecision.
A purpose driven life,
Will always be my mission....

The Way of the Future
It's incumbent upon us to keep up with technology
Fantastic new discoveries that once seemed mythology
The benefits are stupendous
We've become so dependent
It's unstoppable, we mustn't revert to mediocrity...

One Word
Strife
Angst against hypocrisy
Life
Full of mediocrity
Hate
Born of things misunderstood
Love
Passion bred from all that's good
In your existence
These things you'll find
In your ignorance
You'll blind your mind...

I do not know?
My Self-Inflicted Fate
Time,
Always
Moves ahead.
Who will be left?
Waiting now behind,
For a sign from above,
As if blind to the present.
Look no further than your own mind!
Do you not perceive your surroundings?
Mediocrity the doom of us all....
