Proverbial Monoku
life’s cacophony stills at call of divine sense...soul hears God’s voice loud
Out in the open wisdom calls aloud, she raises her voice in the public square (Proverb: 1:20)

Elephants In the Square
Spiritual truth, is like an elephant in a public square.
When its the only one, it can't hide anywhere.
So, How do you hide an elephant in a public square?
Fill it with a thousand more, then,
Try to find it if you dare.

Stillness Denied
I stood too long
in the public square
strangers wearing masks
desecrated my presence
tossed paint upon my visage
roped and toppled me
shattered my past
erased my future
all because I paused
to gaze upon the beauty
of a common ground

On the Public Square
There once was an old man from Thomaston
Who was lying, cheating son-of-a-gun
Out in public on the square
Nailed was he in open air
Still dodging bullets as swiftly runs

Contest: Nailed Or Failed
Theme chosen: Nailed

She Kissed Her
WAS THAT A GIRL I JUST SAW, KISSING HER FRIEND, DOWN AT THE MALL?
RIDING IN A MUSTANG,AND THINKING THEY LOOK COOL,WHILE CALLING EACH GUY THEY SEE A TOOL.
HUGGING EACH OTHER IN A PUBLIC SQUARE, NOT CARING ABOUT WHO SEES THEM THERE.
EATING CHOCOLATE AND WATCHING ELLEN, SHE KISSED HER FRIEND, WHILE WATCHING "GIRLS" ON HBO, AND JUST CHILLIN'....

A Happy Minor Holiday
A happy minor holiday
That's what Chanukah was
'Till its proximity to Christmas
gave it an American buzz
In days of old, we lit the candles
Spun the dreidel** for mere pennies --
Now with ceremonies in the public square
and lavish presents, oh-so-many
Chanukah's theme of dedication
~ Does there remain any?
** a dreidel is Yiddish for a spinning top...

What a Gas!
prices goin' up,
prices goin' down;
quit playin' with our pockets,
we're wearin' a funky frown!
every time the prices drop,
our hopes are ridin' high;
just when we think the price is right,
you "sock" us in the eye!
you sit around in fancy suits,
rich as hell and greedy;
you suck us dry like a fat mosquito,
rippin' off the poor and needy!
let us gather our whippin' sticks,
without negotiation;
we'll beat 'em all in a public square,
for crimes against our nation!...
