A PURPOSE GREATER

A lumpy couch and a laundry bag
Circumstances enough to make the spirit sag.

But where to start is not always where to begin
Unintentional outcomes often the price of the end.

Current events remain the distraction.
History's consequences the ultimate satisfaction.

CRISIS UNCERTAIN

A father's future fear
For a son held so dear
Who will live in a land with hate so near.

Learning to live with a hell unleashed
Victims of the mark of the beast.
All the while anger feasts.

Deaf to the pain of the other
While ignoring the cries of the  mother..

WORDS

We're not really going to make America Great Again
Cause at best we're just trading sin.

Redifing hate in order to win
Back to the hell where we've already been.

LIFE AND LITERATURE

The heart of a poet
Beats a song in the soul.

Moving along
Life takes its toll.

Hearing with the eyes
Putting sight to sound.

Looking for love
But truth to be found.

LIFE'S REVITALIZATION PROJECT

When seeking happiness is a common goal
Mates to be found of the soul.

Living life may take its toll
Once together parts make whole.

Distance between may be far apart
No challenge for the strong of heart.

Memories of the past may provide the perfect start
To rekindle feelings requires a little art.

CONSEQUENCES UNINTENDED

When emotions are released
The chains that hold personal demons in bondage

Fall away as well.
A small price to pay

For feeling again
But a price nonetheless.

LATE FOR FESTIVITIES

An albatross makes a most delicous Thanksgiving treat,
With its removal goes defeat.

Its only purpose to bring you down,
Turning a smile into a frown.

Through the taking of the beast,
Surpressed emotions become your feast.

When it's happiness that you seek,
Make sure your soul does not leak.
