How do you find the light when you live in darkness?
Where is the path that leads toward understanding?
If God is forgiving, why is he silent without redress?
Given the human plight and suffering, is their forgiving?
Self-awareness only heightens the pain and suffering.
Escape is not an option for those lost and dying.
Almost half the civilized world lives in poverty.
We pretend to care but it is not sufficient to stop the crying.
Greed, the need to possess material goods, defines our identity.

I have traveled the earth
for miles and miles,
and found things little worth
warm friendly smiles.

Over strange foreign lands
by great lakes and deep seas,
always are welcoming hands
with kind smiles to please.

It's the language of the universe
be you brown black or white,
and translates in rhyming verse
in bright day and dark night.

For a smile is sweetly made
of understanding so kind,
seeking congenial trade
and can be seen by the blind.

Forecast gloom and doom
Promising expansive boom
Elephant in room

When it is late at night and you are alone,
the quite surrounds you closing in place.
No sound is adequate to replace the tone
And enchantment of loves distant embrace.
My mind wanders searching for solace
while grasping for a comfortable space.
I feel our need and I extend my power.
Now with great effort we embrace.
Moments like this are part of the magic
that is ours alone to enjoy.
I am with you in our private palace.
Close your eyes and swim in the space.

There is a deplorable depravity
To try and distort the veracity
For the affected a time of uncertainty
Requiring patience and tenacity

The methods to defame are reprehensible
And the justifications are indefensible
For the instigators, it will be unpardonable
As the evidence will be incontrovertible.

Insecurity
Imperiling sovereignty
With impunity

"in her bed"

she says...
her domain
is the that of
the living dead
that it's
something
in her head
all those
assassins
in her bed
and she cannot
find her way back
it's just
something
that she's said

*and it's making me see red
that she cannot find her way
yes it's making me see red
that she cannot find her way...

Visionaries deem
That vaunted National Dream
Has run out of steam

Ingenuity
Benefits humanity
For posterity

Out in the Cold.
