More Violence

When a person feels safe

they become defensive,

they fear the loss of control,

if pushed

violence is their only means,

a means which only provokes

more violence

violence that burns

violence that spreads

like wildfire.

The Craft

Tears well
followed by
a deep breath,
sadness
is a fine art,
and I’m still
after all these years
developing the craft.

The Happy People

Here’s to the
sad ones.

We feel
your pain,

we just choose
not to share it.

Sincerely,
the happy people.

P.S.
There is beauty in our sadness.

The Sad Ones

Here’s to the
happy people.

We can see
your sadness,

and we’re
with you.

Sincerely,
the sad ones.

P.S.
Happy New Year!

Yea, that’s a fucking excellent idea

If
Americans
put
half as much
attention
into
Americas
actual problems
as this
Sesame Steet Grover
nonesense,
we
the people
might actually
be headed
somewhere,
but
America
you never cease to amaze me.

Better Tomorrows

When
every
little
thing
is
on
your mind,

nothing
of
value
really
comes
to
mind,

like
twittling
two
thumbs,
sometimes
nothing
days

make for better tomorrows.

Food for thought

The food.

The food.

Everybody’s so worried about the food.

It has to be hot.
It has to be ready.

Is there enough?

If only he opened his heart as much as his mouth,

she might have stayed.

People having the best day

Be cautious
of those people
having the best day,

they’re usually
hiding something
insidious.

The Wool

Some times
a man
must
pull the wool
over his own eyes,

just to make it through the day.

Try

Most days
all we can do
is try,
try without motive
without reason
but with trust
in ourselves
that tomorrow
is another day
to try.
