BUILDING PEACE

...
We had this little open outdoor space at our cabin…and every time we walked by it…
We tried to think of different ways…that we could beautify it.

Then the other day as we stood on our porch the...

- Miss Friday - Weekend Humor -

...

    Miss Friday, 
    is desperate to avoid being forgotten
    She is a caring and kindhearted woman
    If someone asks her age,
    she will answer with a lie (of course)
    It is not a ...

The Juggernaut

...
(A lone voice whispers)

Did no one tell you that true
Magic exists

Just hidden somewhere deep 
In most societies

Sought after by convicts of the mundane

Profane addicts, who cry out i...

What kind of world could we have

...If we embraced caring, what a world we could have
Empathy would ooze forth from every Mom and Dad
The golden rule would be apparent on every corner of town
Six would run to help when an old lady h...

I Hear the Boots of Krystallnacht

...
   I hear the boots of Krystallnacht 
   marching in our streets
     Heil, Hitler… Heil, Sinwar…
     Heil, Hitler… Heil, Sinwar…

   I hear the glass of Krystallnacht
   clinking 'neath the...

Our Stolen Days

...Our Stolen Days

The given days we take,
Childlike, heedless of consequence.
We swallow them as our due,
Our entitled share of happiness
At least, the consideration of the stake
Each of us hol...

The Damned

...

I never asked to be born,
so these sins leave me torn,
between living and dying.
I'm laughing, but begin crying,
because I've lost all affection
for my mirror's reflection.

You think... I...

Inside, Outside

...You're inside, I'm outside
Come and stand with me
We'll look off to the mountains 
See the colors on the trees

It's cool now in the mornings
Summer's gone, I shrug
I have a nice warm blanket

A Matter of Love

...The old male lion awakes,
lifts his great head,
but it is midday and so he sleeps yet more.

Come the night his lionesses will hunt
while the king fends off
other male pretenders to his throne....

Two Strangers

...Upon a crowded street in Hiroshima, they met. 
    From distant shores they came, seeking to get 
    Some adventure, some beauty, some wonder, some answers. 
As they wandered aimlessly, feeling o...

Nigerian Police Station

...Once, I was there to check a tall Zaki
And it became reason to meet khaki,
Very clean but most offices tacky:
A cop could turn one into a lackey!
 
I know The Police is for the Nation
But I sha...

Some Names Annoy

...I maintain some names badly annoy,
Whichever way one might them employ:
In just minutes turn one into flame
like hands and feet one's self esteem maim.

I never prayed for Dragon as name.
Charl...

That's the Tenderness of Soul

...The soul has many facets.
It can feel empty, can feel whole,
Broken or mended...
That's the tenderness of soul.

When a heart bleeds for another,
When hateful deeds turn one cold,
When love co...

Petrichor

...I love petrichor
not just the metaphor
but also the sound
and shape similar to round

I love thunder
hidden there under
is the lightening
from elevated heightening

I love dark clouds
so f...

One more turn upon the dance floor
 a spin, a twirl, an embrace, heart beats soar
unfurled;
 twisting, turning, gliding in a waltz curled
 shutting out the hectic pac...
