Sit and play with words in my every dayAlways perturbed how much they cannot saySeems ironic how words get in the waySo much talking but life it does not sway Have this feeling my life has gone all wrongIs this struggle because I am headstrongHave I been on the wrong page all alongThink I’ve lost the plot else I don’t belong My words are always in such disarrayMaybe this is why happy cannot stayI have felt this same way for all my lifeOften less, never more, it’s always strife My wishes for peace ever come to naughtIn constant turmoil, I […]

We human beings make up one large tribeHard sometimes to see, differences divideOur teachers advocate the circumscribeBut we prefer to indulge in the jibe Competitive survival, that’s our curseRuining the planet, and making things worse Caught between progress and our primal mightFears of change regress, can’t embrace our lightChase innovation, each day and all nightStill struggle to balance wrong and right Now the harvest comes, pollutants long sownThe super-site drum numbers only grownHuman hubris loves to think the world oursKilling biosphere this ownership sours Rather collapse than disaster negate“Fix it tomorrow” – the future’s checkmate We can’t be moochers, for […]

Limerence is the word of which I speakMind obsession, no healthy human seeksHook of history that sticks where you’re weakPulls the ancient wounds, always makes you shriek Love to be in love more than love anotherLove despair too, decadently smother Entangled with a man named for a flowerBorderline narcissistic, I gave him this powerDeep wisdom in lessons as he did devourAs with most endings, me I did him scour So I always say aloud, wishing it were trueTen full years it took to really follow through There are still some times on a really quiet nightI catch myself wondering if […]

I am not much of a social acolyteI’m not a follower, no clout parasiteNo member of the cult of personalityLife on my own terms, no strings holding me Seeing perspectives, more than just my ownBrings benefits through which I have grownTaught lessons and skillful means were honedRescue and saved me as time has shown They often say too open a mind makes the brain fall outBut I say seeing more than self better the systems flout Because you cannot trick a mind equipped with a wide viewBecause you cannot leave behind who runs ahead the queueBecause you cannot circumvent critical […]
