Sharp and branded was the hunger
Thundering within my paunch
guised as the quintessence
spearheaded by life
‘twas the claw cast
from death’s marred teat
Heard within yonder valleys
Whence I sought freedom...

stepping through the automatic doors
of a brand new grocery store
is a peek into another world

there’s no sandwich counter here, a tragedy—
but the frozen aisle in the center of the store

you have to  take the bad with the good....

The man in the moon
Flies above us all
Helping couples fall in love
Creating so many stories
And lighting our way on a clear night
What would we ever do without him
The world and all of us could never be the same

After all of this time it is a piece of art
So many wise and talented people knew what to do
What keys to press to create a masterpiece
Please do not just look at the typewriter as a book stop
Give it all of the respect it deserves 
After all the book you are reading may have been typed on it

Please Sir
I have very little left
No brothers or sisters
No mother or father
I live in the streets
All alone
I beg for food when I can
But food doesn’t exist either
Please, Sir, I do have favor to ask
If you have even a single bomb left
Drop it on this innocent child
For I do not want to live any longer
Not in a world that does not exist

She knows how much love you have
How long have you had a single wish
There are so many wishes just like yours
All want a baby of their own
Even with the crying, feeding, and diapers
It would be something to make your life magical
So, today she chose to visit you
The sweetest little bundle resting in her beak
Gently, she lowered it down the chimney
And your family was created to last forever

Be Strong and Courageous
Says the Grand-Master
The Harvest is Plenteous
The Fields are Wide
Your Possibilities Are Endless

Be Strong and Courageous
I know you’re so sure of yourself
I know your Dreams are so Real to you
Likewise, real is the Messenger of Misery

You don’t have to be Pessimist
But be ye optimist of him too
Late or sooner, it is the path of greatness
Be strong and Courageous
Only the Persistent Do Exploits.

The pretty cast of sorrow—
Hollow, yet comforting, 
When damasked on those lips, 
Or teased upon that fake smile

I see such sorrow inside of her
And weep inwardly,
For I love her gazes 
And hate her mazes

Paler now is the face
And love it more I must,
For the moment I express disgust,
She is gone like rain
Leaving guilt on trickling rooftops

Hollow company—
Is still company, 
And that is why I still love her—
Somehow her smile is real
