America's debt is so high; make tomorrow accountable for every dime spent.

Dry plane-tree leaves, at the mercy of the wind!
|
In America the right to bear arms shall supercede the preservation of life.
|
Only half of the rich and powerful in America are color blind.
|
“Young people are not merely the future of society; they are the energy that can transform its present.”
|
The impossible is merely a temporary label we apply to the distance between our current reach and our eventual grasp
|
In the stillness of your mind, the noise fades, the masks fall away, and your true self quietly emerges
|
Guns are like crack pipes and in America, thanks to our elected officials, you have the right to suck on that crack pipe if you want to.
|
Ambition without empathy is merely a vehicle driving toward a destination where no one wants to meet you.
|
Merit goes with service, not pay.
|
When the ego becomes a seeker of truth, it suffers as identity is challenged, ultimately surrenders, and makes space for a deeper and more authentic self to emerge.
|
Because it was not a "level playing field" at its inception the appearance of impropriety must be considered in any decision regarding race in America.

How many years I have been with poetry? And yet I still write to the beat of different drummer.
|
"A Limerick a day keeps you writing away."
|
Creativity...a moment with God! Yes, spirit is everywhere one is open to receiving. The everything that went into a small blossom -- each wonder an introduction, a doorway to one's greater miracle of divinely seeing and expressing. Nothing exists outside of God...and all are connected, meridians of The Infinite. Write...paint...invent~ a never-ending journey.
|
How much of seeming one is truly individual? Programed in a sense by physical/mental maybe spiritual constituents. Is there really an individual? And yet no two are the same conglomerate. No matter how many in the mix. The many/individual. And when we consider the all, maybe back to the God -- nothing existing outside of the limitless inside/outside of God. DNA, are there really any exclusions or limitations? We transverse living membranes of self-illusion.
|
With me poetry is about subduing one's conditioned mental reflexes, and allowing purer inert forces to take control of the stylus. In short, poetry should be about transcending the physical into realms of the metaphysical. The heart of great writing is spiritual and not commercial. One must take the "I" out of a work as much as creatively possible.
|
I am really resenting AI in the Arts. It is not the death of art, because artists will do art no matter what. Always there will be small gatherings of innovative creative individuals. But none will make a buck at it. Commercial mediocrity will rule...young people will never develop the skills needed to produce unique, personal products. It will hurt soul and spirit development -- the devil must be overjoyed. Another appealing way to keep humanity on the surface layer of creation.

America today in 2026 doesn't have a political problem, America has a lawyer problem.
|
To write a good poem, correct grammer or punctuation is not important. It is only the idea and thought that counts
|
" To enjoy summer is to laugh with the flowers."
|
You emerge from the common run of humanity and occupy an eternal part of my heaven.
|
Not in the hammer of the heart, nor the measured breath of being, but in the sacred interstice betwixt two beats, there abides the ineffable dominion of love.
|
Poets defend one another in the name of being needy, like America throws bombs on territories of other in the name of the other being needy. It’s not defence at all. It is insertion into space which is not yours.
|
In my lowest, I walked through many winters - even in the spring by night - until I realized summer was within and all around me.
|
Some are courtrooms, some are debate classes, some are boxing rings and some are merry-go-rounds; either way you lose.
|
“He who tendeth first the hearth of his own soul,
doth rend the veil 'twixt self and all,
and in that silent concord, mercy ascendeth
as river, flame, and marrow through the bones of the world.”
|
American politics is a business that is run by the employees.
|
America is Superman and conservatism is kryptonite.
|
I am very poor at small talk. Language, people interaction needs gusto, deep commitment or it is a waste of precious time. Life has so much more to offer. Why there is true poetry. Not talking cute rhymes and mere flashy alliteration.
