Grim Veil

Grim veil

Around the evening news

All-around

The country too

Hope can only hold

Our thoughts together

So long

Before we break

And realize we have our world

Wrong

 

Why

Why

We ask

Can people be so

Hardened

To the world

That is full of beauty

A natural garden

On the edges the dampness of weeds

Twirling around

Somehow we discover

What goes up

And what falls down

 

 

A New Need

Need anything

New or old

Bring in the bold

New ideas

People

Now is the time

For change

Wait Another Day

Wait another day

See what comes around the corner

In a different way

Complicated

Yet easy

When the morning dew settles

Here it is for another day

 

Good Night Blog

Goodnight blog

In a new morning

Will bring a new thought tomorrow

I am warning

Set up a new feature of understanding

When all come clamoring

The night will flow

In a moments notice

Michigan Heart

I want to know

But I don’t want to understand

How the smoke

Falls from the land

Where I grew up

On the southern shore

Michigan heart

Felt never more

So the gamblers gamble

And the steel men work

The street are empty

The money gone

From a crook

Where I grew up

I want to know

But I will never understand

Press On

Press on

Late in the night

Press on

Early in the morning

Keep going

When there is no signs of slowing

Press on

Again and again

No More Aspirin

No more aspirin

To heal all the aches

The heart has had enough

Of what it can take

So find another remedy

Rather than a simple pill

Find something cheaper

With half the bill

Walk

Back to the Moon

Did we already

Go

Where we want to return

Go back to the moon

With fuel to burn

Here we go back into

Outerspace

The one and only

Extraterrestial race

Red Flag Jed

Red flag Jed

Always had it wrong

Never knew what was up

Or how to just go along

The words always mixed

In a confusing delivery

Jed held his hands tight

And bit his tongue

Cynically
