Pecco Ergo Sum I sin therefore I am
Pecco, Ergo Sum
(I sin, therefore I am)
Not an aimless ride on Sunday morning,
But for a faith oblige I am tied to attend
“Sinners!” the priest thunders from pulpit,
“Repent, for your flesh betrays the soul!”
Verses cascade from the book of the wise,
Urging forgiveness to claim a seat
In a kingdom beyond the grave’s cold embrace.

I LIVE, THEREFORE I DISTURB
Criticism flows easily from some.
To me, it often mirrors deep unrest.
Their barren days crave meaning,
So they lash out at those who walk in peace.
Criticizing becomes habit—becomes breath.
A friend—or so I thought—
Blamed me for loving poetry too much.
Yet this passion held me in the storm,
When everything trembled, it alone kept me standing.
I live without harming, without

BRIGHT THEREFORE LIGHTED RAINBOW-
there’s a light that shines
mist the wet skies laminates
sparks drip drops rainbows
~
sprinkles glitters of
colors bright sparkles delight
shines light therefore bright

Therefore, I Am
Therefore, I Am
All the way
Everyday
Everywhere
With you
It’s the way
We have stayed
Together
While we grew
Always here
With my fears
Sharing in
My gloom
Always here
Like a prayer
Since my
Mothers womb

Therefore I Hope In Him - Lamentations 3: 22-24
Being not consumed we stand true
only by God's merciful grace
this is the God of eternity supreme
we receive compassion from His face
Compassion is the watchword from God
for the Lord provides never to fail
in His promises always surely certain
trust His sovereign hand even from gales
Always new never turns old
waken up every morning bright
great is the faithfulness of

We Reason, Therefore 'Litter Be'
We Reason, Therefore “Litter Be!” (1)
“Litter be, litter be, litter be, litter be!” (2)
Hear our future’s judgment, “Litter be! Oh, Oh, Oh!”
Yes, dinosaurs still roam the earth (more you than me?)
We find their footprints (left in mud) recast in stone,
their poop now fossilized, eggs future toast last day!
But that’s not “litter” I regard. Such scars

I Speak, Therefore I Am
Approaching the lexicon
of what’s still unsaid,
My words beg acceptance
now silent unread
Inside there’s a freedom
once crossing the line,
unspoken confessions
—unfrozen in rhyme
