It is amazing to me, that a speech delivered way back in 1963 can be still so poignant in 2018.

Let me tell you about my America The land that I have always loved It is not a land of a particular political party Or a certain belief system It is a cultural melting pot of the world It is a place of hope & promise The land of dreams Dreams for all Where... Continue Reading →
You use religion as an excuse A crutch To pedal your hate Your hate is from no god Hate is pure evil From the depths of darkness Your pain, whatever internal conflict that troubles you Is no reason to give pain to others. I pray that you would find light I pray that you would... Continue Reading →
Liberty compromised? Humanity bereft? Sans empathy? Hate? Fate? Je nes comprends pas R.I.P. 😦 .
Sometimes I wish I was offended or repulsed by things that don't bother me I wish the effects of my damaged past were not still so evident in the choices I freely make Why do I sin? What is sin anyway? Is it really just bad words or lust? Or is it hurting people? What... Continue Reading →
You made something from nothing From an empty shell Built on lies believed To eternal identity Derived from truth received Transformation clear to see
What is happening beneath the surface of your conscious? What are the thoughts you refuse to visit? Are you just drifting Like a ship lost at sea? Or is there a current That you have avoided acknowledging? The course of your future does not have to be left so much to chance Visit the... Continue Reading →
Thousands gather to honor the Lord Healing is suggested Then healing is claimed Can it be real? Could it be true? Why do you feel nothing? Is this all a sham A trick to try and make you believe? Really? How arrogant are you, that you could think that this is all about you? ... Continue Reading →
Accepting responsibility It is easy to misunderstand There are many parts of the story Parts I am smart enough not to share here I can paint you the picture of a victim Make it all seem so pitiful I can give you the psychological justifications As they have been revealed to me The...

Look at me, a moving miracle It is hard to believe we take this for granted What would our ancestors say? Would they think us some kind of god? I am in the clouds, above the birds Legend would expect us to crash into heaven For angels to be perched atop the clouds Playing... Continue Reading →
We take things for granted And so we should Is that not, at least partially, the point in freedom? Otherwise we could spent every waking moment Wracked in agony Crying at the things that have gone before us Look at the things going on right now Surely every word uttered Would be one...

When our joy comes Not from this world But from the source of joy Then, when stuck in this world When the rain comes down When troubles come Still, we have joy, we have peace For even when the agents come We know the truth There is no spoon .
Oh the joys of adulthood Countless hours slaving for others, but always for reward Living now in the freedom we once craved in our youth And the things, the things we get to work for ... Instruments of expression Trips filled with excitement Immaculate collections of art Oh what? I’m sorry, did you say... Continue Reading →

A strange thing happened the other day, it came to my attention that people actually read what I write, I know, I’m slow on the uptake. With that realization the thought that I might need to think through what I write more, instead of just finding some words in my head & throwing them out... Continue Reading →
It follows, at a distance Stalking, preying Waiting for the perfect moment to pounce To reap its wicked vengeance Sometimes you run Sometimes you hide Sometimes you ignore We pretend that you are not there, lurking Then one day, an awful, yet great day Enough is enough A breaking point is reached...
