Defeating Strangers
I think of my own neighborhood, how people do not know each other. How quickly we go out to get our garbage can. As we nod our heads briefly so that we might understand, that there is something more important going on inside, than to chat. Maybe a pot of something boiling for a recipe. ...
FloatStrong
This letter is to all who survived and did not cheat. How you punched me in the gut. How you stole our dignity. I now envision your bracelets being recycled to help another cancer cause. Maybe from yellow to gray they might say, BrainStrong. Taken out of all the dresser drawers they are hidden in. ...
Neighbor
If you listen, you will hear cries Of a world becoming desensitized To the tragedy of tomorrow Bombs blowing up Buildings falling down Shootings in schools Children stolen and abused The slaughter of innocents In another country prevents Us from taking any stand How can we make a difference When the world watches it all ...
The Prophet Motive
We pool our resources We list our skills and passions. We ask how to be a good neighbor. How to reach out, educating without alienating. How to find one common cause. How to find our prophet motive. Doing good without compensation. To become whole inside this global nation. Fear can be crippling as we face ...
The Trigger
I sit here looking at the barrel of my gun. It is the loaded, same commercial rerun. Looping, NOW, only for a limited time. Two shotgun shells genetically loaded. So many pellets they can disperse. Blending into healthy tissue. Turning the good into the worst. Inserting stress, not easily withstood. Both shells are lodged inside ...
Politics Aside
a person shot dead in the head crowds rejoice nationalism is fed politics aside no more place to hide fed to the fishes cowboys yelling rawhide as widows and orphans cry a man that stopped the world for ten years he did hide directing the car bombs of jihad as we fought and we flew ...
Hope and Pocket Change
Numbers before my eyes. New dates, new labor and times. Not sure how they may take Me from point A to make It to point B, to another Place to orientate. To buy a house now. To put money down. Make charges on a card. To sign my name King. As the market bell rings ...
Born in the Abyss
it cuts both ways the tools we use today discarded tomorrow. minerals stolen, poison sorrow. gold drained, used and forgotten. woodlands raped, wiped and rotten. building a better tool. communicating to you. wired and text messaged. tell me where you are right now? what do you dream of? where are we going? brains upgraded, many ...
Meditation on Happiness
Happiness appears without a trace Like bullets shot through a human’s face. Velocity and trajectory tell how long That smile will stay and belong. Happiness does not dwell on the news. It does not focus on psychotics and distorted views. It does not worry about cold weather. Or the political games that last forever. Happiness ...
In the Shadow of the Tower
A ball of white light blasts outward. A man pulls his body upwards. All his energy exhausted. His singularity invested. There are people that don’t understand The investment that has been given. There is a city, a world, a universe That has been growing version by version. Like sleeve tattoos recycled among its own Shaped ...
Don’t ask don’t tell can go to hell.
Don’t ask don’t tell can go to hell. For making people lie to each other. For not allowing us all to feel like brothers No matter what sexual orientation. As we fought for human rights and liberation. For all the money spent on its misconception. For making others feel less than equal. As if, what ...
Born in Blood
Dexter, Dahmer, Columbine and Virginia Tech. Serial killers. Spree killers. First person shooters. Born in blood. Blood soaked deep. Watching Thriller. The empire thirsts for products. Outsourced for the benefit of the many. We breed violence. We breed war. Making terrorists by creating the poor. We are a sponge to this culture. We curse it then ...
No More Dharma Bums to Feed
the light and dark are one. the earth’s crust has begun to become thinner. letting the spirits out for their dinner. to pass onto the other side. from purgatory they do glide from the homes they did hide. on this hallowed eve i pray for my father’s soul to stay where i can find him ...

Drowning from Above
a light bearing down from above. water with light not love. filled with sand and earth. gushing from the cavern to search. your body and lungs and all you are. what you are made of. your soul. your desires. your internal fires. what desires are left undone? what was your dream and plan? what is ...
Dear Diary
osprey manatee dolphin, ride boat on blue river. father walk family down road of community. save child from top of blow up slide and glide back to reality. my friends are scared. of their legacy. of their apathy. of their passion. trying to define themselves through their masters. trying to hide behind their life’s disaster. ...
