Baffled news
Read in the headlines
What I take away
Is not the linear progression of life
Events
But a new direction
Everyday
In everyway

The Knight and Game
The knight
Game
Can be won
In a few moves
From the start
Until the finish
With a hold up face
And a few grooves
The game is over
So start anew
A Little Vague
It’s always a small move
From the endulgance
To the well past due
A movement
Of hesitation
Of crime
And wasted frustration
All these items held constant
I still remember those history books
We read
Just to laugh about
What came before us
And why we last
Manic Man
I’m a manic man
On a manic mission
To seed the hope
Of a superstition
In between my eyes
And behind my ears
From the light of day
And the hope of years
Holding on To Relief
Would you believe
That one man
One intention
To hold on to relief
That is needed
For me and you
This action can’t through
Out or undue
The hope of tomorrow
For me and you
Equally Apportioned
What would it take
To have complete equality
Of idea and thought
Is it something
That mankind can achieve
I hope with resitance
I believe with hesitation
But I see what happens around me
And I fall back to frustrated
Resignation
Vacancy and Ashes
The headlines read
From the backseat
A unsettling message
Sent through the ranks
Of the entire
Nation
Awaiting the turning
Of heads
In a different direction
For tonight is all we have
If we lose that
We have nothing
But vacancy
And ashes
On the backseat
The Malign One
Seditious
Attempts
At reason
With no concern
For humanity
Or partiality
Rather for just
One’s self
That is the focus of
Just the current
Status
Of
Us
Extinguished Most
A light does not exist
When the vacancy
Has been shut out
When the moment at hand
Can’t seem to be
What we can understand
So the hopes of
A brighter
Tomorrow
Become the hinderance
Of a worrisome
Today
Words Can Say
A cup of coffee
Starts the day
With what these words can say
In a mess of a world
I look for the right words
To do right
Upon the land around us
For it is up to us
To resolve
The mess
That we make
