Richard Puglisi Poem
To stand on the stage
Look for eyes of approval
Mature at the proper age
Some say the world is a stage
Competition can be extreme
There is no simple method
Demands and hardships each day
This is the price you must pay
Lights will shine brightly on you
Makeup will not hide your face
Apprehension builds inside
Possibly a life in the theater just died

Richard Puglisi Poem
They kill for their namesake
Blinded with visions of righteousness
Mirrored with images of self
Sanctifying, with daggers plunging deep
Crowds gather in loyalty
Massed in fear, assembled in hatred
Adherence to dogmas of a farsighted kind
While master deceivers bloom like orchids

Richard Puglisi Poem
It flew into my yard one bright autumn day
Reminded me of feelings
Severed sometime back
As the burly tattooed man attended to his chores
“They're beggars of the Earth.
Revolting creatures at that,”
She said mockingly
As the burly tattooed man walked out of the shed
My life began to be renewed once more
“I knew of one that attacked a child,”
The old women said
As the burly tattooed man blew it away
