Lay down the law
Heavy as a lead balloon
Over the lives
Of the many
Not the few
The draconian rule
Come from those who
Have the most to loose
So heed the warnings
Of a way of life
Unusual
To you
Draconian

Sparkling Deep Blue Waters: A Hopeful Poem
The waves
Crashed
And ripped
In a sparkling
Deep blue
Over the waters
Of the old
And the new
So I take the hope of
Water
Into the day
To make one more light
When darkness reigns
Roots to the Sky
Roots grow up to the sky
Backwards
Towards the sun
Way off in the side
To the trees of the universe
Holding the hopes of
The night
So be fragile in spirit
And embrace the unknown
Of a world upside down
From what
We have known
The Swarm
A swarm of misguided
Souls
Leads the party
Into the depths of confusion
By taking the last hope
Of individual freedom
And smashing it
For their statue of idols
Placed on the throne
Oh well
See the grocery bill
And move on
With life
Controlled
Unclear Eye
The floor that we walk on
Spaghetti lace dress
I move with slow intention
To see the best
Of a world encompassed in moss
Unclear to the eye
The thunder of hope
Beats out
To hear the notes
In the sky
Dysfunctional
What was the place
Where we began
To lose our minds
The dysfunction of time
Wasted
Is now set
Deep in my pen
As I write to you
A verse
Of confusion
In a life
That has become
Much less
Amusing
Uncovering Meek Virtue in Our Lives
Where is such a talent
A virtue buried
In the wide open
Spaces that make up
Life that we live
How can we be
Such complacent beings
With no sense of
Mortality
I ask this as a hopeful
Idea
In the back
Of your mind
Endurable
To be endured
With long hands
Holding the grips
Of the changing world
What we feel
Is what we live
And what we hear
From those we know
We make a certain jump
From the life
We have had
Cynical
The cynical words
Fell from my lips
Regrettably
At the time
Imperfect
But what is perfection
If procrastination takes hold
So I am working through
The errors I have made
To be a better
Man
Income Comparison
The value of
Goods
Or actions
Compared to the weight
Of words
What is the measure
That holds all equal
So that we can see
What happens
To us
When we are sold
For nothing
On the selling block
