Tired of Outrage & Sick to Death of Fear
Is anyone else tired of outrage and sick to death of fear? I know I am. But we do live in a very unsettling time, don’t we? This time on earth is a time of great transition, where governments are crumbling, air is dirty, politics are dirty, and our minds have become so dirty. This […]
Inner Voices
Nobody noticed when my identity got lost After all it’s not their problem, for they don’t bear the cost Plus if you look over you’ll see me sitting in that chair But if you look a little closer you’ll see I’m not even there I chased the dreams of others and chased a penny for […]
The War of Art
I want my art to be inspiring So I sit frozen, yet perspiring There is a pressure to express to burst, to splash, to dance in paint an urge, a burning I suppress so the urge is growing ever faint I want my art to be transcendent But I freeze alone, and codependent There is […]

Our Responsibility
I’ve stolen money and I’ve given my money away I’m not a hoodlum and I’m not Robin Hood You know it’s funny how black and white make grey What’s wrong or right? Or fair; or bad; or good? I’ve been jealous and I’ve been the one betrayed I’m not a monster, nor am I a […]
