heaven’s brightest lights
gracefully take a back seat...

     Sightings reported all across the globe
     Perhaps a weird, undulating space probe

        First it’s way up in the sky
        Then it dips down to say ‘Hi’

     Scares the bejabbers out of technophobes

Siblings
will take care of the morgue.
I am going to hang my god
today. Howling winds
are crashing into my breath.


In the sea
of flags, the white death walks on
naked bodies of faith. Innocence
will take a back seat
listening to the roaring assault
of blues.

Was it a hymn to drink
the religion of rage ?
The men sitting in the glass vases
worshiping the rising sun in awe 
with folded hands.

saying “I’m outta here!”

The truth has turned and walked away….
finding noone care’s anymore.  

Seem’s people are trapped in the conviction

The laws of nature are no longer respected 
While math and physics take a back seat

To those who cry they’ve been wrongly offended 
as they raise their fist shouting in the street 

The louder they yell 
the more their minds clear

No longer the facts 
but their feelings they hear...

Protesting Authority
Miracle Man Thoughts
5-8-2022

Oft times we protest making the evening news,
and it isn’t always from our differing in views.

Rather than bend to authority & take a back seat,
we’ll make signs and line both sides of a street.

Following others advice blindly we simply won’t,
and it isn’t always about what we believe, or don’t.

But all about the narrative big brother has sold,
our innate nature just rejects our being told.
