Values Poems

Higher Ground

Every time I turn my radio on
I hear the same old song
and I await good news from abroad today
especially a change is on the way
but I don't believe all they say
as how can they see eye-to-eye
or meet face-to-face
when east looks east and west looks west
in this so-called human race
putting power in the hands
of people who

Content Values

Content Values 
Don’t need much 
I can do without 
Considerate of others 
Open a car door for her 
Many have lost their way 
Morels don’t mean a thing 
Be courteous no matter how your treated 
Sometimes we are down in the valley 
Take one day at a time 
Mentor those to be prepared to fly

Proposal 1

What does it mean to be the next flower to fall after the garden fence is reinforced with tears from the street?

Games Without Values

Last year we played with steady ground,
one rule for all, the truth was found.
No favoured few, no shadow deal,
just work and heart - the common seal,
and every voice could claim their name.

Our coach back then, from distant shore,
taught more than drills - he taught us more:
that trust is built on equal weight,
and discipline decides our

The Real Left-Right Divide

(“Halves of a Whole”, 2019, original encaustic)

The Real Left/Right Divide

I consider myself a “classical liberal” 
Which means I’m a freedom loving
‘Live and let live’ kind of guy.
And that puts me firmly on the Right.

It also marks me as a “conservative”
In today’s political world
Because live and let live doesn’t mean
Change for the sake of change to

I'd like to tell you the the story

I'd like to tell you
The the story
Of weird life of english tori
The history of imperialism
The quests of human groups for territory

Of the political bias 
On pair based 
Or the triangles
Or quaternions 
Of that that 

And you yourself
I do assume
Is never really sorry

That I am

REAL?

Time was a man was known for what he did
Or didn’t do
Did you stand for the flag
Did you fight for the Red, White, and Blue?

Did you keep it real?
Say what you feel?
Work with your hands
And the iron and steel?
Stand on your word?
Make a fair deal?
And bow your head
And take time to kneel?
Do you keep it

Family Values

Sold on a cheapskate cheesing.
Cupcaked' by a cheesecake reasoning.
Kids, plenty for the 
Cakewalk.
Kids, plenty to play 
Hopscotch.
Kids, plenty of energy goes 
Non-stop.
Disparaging remarks marked up by the
Loudmouth loosened by fool-proof
Foul Alchohol percentages.
It's far too soon to start with those 
Remarks.
Gliding by.
Hiding behind our
Rollercoaters' ropes.
Ready to Ride,
Side by Side,
Since this high.
Goodbye.
Razor-sharp wit halved the delicate patience.
Good

Handle the values

                      Handle the values 



A gentleman asked, "You talk about God, don't you get tired, and you connect on mobile to share your daily routine? How do you handle it?"

Answer: "Man, I see society

THE VALUES WHICH CELESTIAL BODIES TEACH US

The Sun gives all of us light,
And we all do for it fight,
And it also provides us heat,
Making darkness - Retreat.

The black hole is for us the traps,
Which we may fall into for travelling against our lives' maps,
The heat taken by a Comet to land on Earth,
Makes its beauty double the worth!

The Planets rotate around

MEDIA VALUES

Weapons, lenses pointed
at our naked reflections
we are nothing before
the burst of silver flashes

it doesn't matter if we are,
Americans from the North..., or South
before photos of the moment
we are just legs, arms and mouths

Some lie

Some lie to the undecided
Disguise what they believe
Utopia is ahead, so it's easy to deceive

Some lie to themselves
To avoid facing glaring flaws
And the contradictions of their cause

Some lie to the faithful,  
To make them hate more,  
They stir up the fire, then walk out the door

Some lie to the lost ones,  
With

Of Lines And Lives

Each path we walk, it forges something,
a step within a stair.
A line part of a rhythmic pattern
and we’re unaware.

We’re so wrapped up in what’s before us,
like it’s all there is.
As back and forth we pace, uneasy.
I promise you this - 

The time will come when you will see,
the scales will disappear.
In that moment look around

Family Values

Family Values

It made me feel good to see the family,
mother, father, son and daughter
sitting  together on the spread blanket at the park
heads bowed around their picnic lunch, a tradition 
of saying grace before the meal not often seen,
 
when they all look up at the same time, laugh and 
point at the tweet just

Choices

Two birds left the nest after they had learned to fly, 
setting off to find what the world has got to give. 
Each had what it takes to ascend into the sky,
but each bird also had different reasons why they lived. 
 
One lived a life to soar above, his days spent in the air.
