The Facade of Justice: Reflections in Verse

Object to the days rule

The judge high off in distant

Gown

Draped over the isle

Where I sit

Pretending to listen

To care

When I know that

The judge there is a facade

Of what we are supposed to feel

But I keep quiet

Keep my peace

For another day

Tearful

A tearful return

Through hope and sadness

Blend unimagined

To see through

The blurriness of tears

Fallen

One after the other

So take time today

To cherish those you love

And say

I love you

Trite

The medieval kind

Of living

Well overdone

Thinking

To see what a

World

Has to hold

Through the generations

What can I learn

From the mistakes of the past

To hold up the real future

To see what we are

Capable of

The Colorful Journey of Crayons in Our Memories

What memories are tied

To the small

Color stick

Created in

And created for

Creation of the mind

To take one color

At a time

To believe in a world

Full of the colorful light

I see the crayon

The way I had seen it

Before

In my youth

Through eyes

That have grown sore

Southern

A southern twist

To the week

When we are in the open

Holding hands with the future

Of our own trials

And tribulations

So a southern move

Is in store

For the world

And for my now

Sights

Little Time

What time we have

Has to be the most we can do

From the thin line of youth

To the ages of time

And wisdom

The wasted few

Regret what was left

Behind

So know to live

With hope on

Your side

Back

back against the wall

to tall

to see the ground

where my feet slide

further from the line

so I myself slip

in hope and in time

so hold me up legs

when the world

is not on my side

Title

The title was nothing more

Than a word

Meaningless in form and

Shape

So today I set out to

To learn a new title

For myself

One that I yet don’t seem to

Understand

In that darkness

I am fine

To learn

What my title will

Be

What Changed

In fact

Nothing

Changed

The same coffee and tea

The same rituals of the day

But somehow

The world

Creates a world within it

That changes

Everything

That much

I know
