to lie on the warm sand at twilight
ripples of fleeting light
across a calm sea.
Sea winds throw each care
take each heavy form and toss it in the air like it was light
give me brief respite from all that weighs me down,
send it soaring out of sight beyond my knowing
set my mental laundry blowing, and refresh my head,
far too much is laying in the middle of my bed
and piled upon the floor,
open all my windows, wedge the dusty door
and pin the shutters to the side
dear ocean fling them, sling them from me far and wide

Dear beautiful evergreen
rooted down in the field
strongly upholding itself
like it has an impenetrable shield

The one that has experienced blazing summers
and freezing winters
not only seen warfare
but watched it from the center
winds blew it west and east
but it never went left or right
had blood on its leaves
but never got into a fight

Dear beautiful evergreen
That stands there all yearlong
keep your roots rooted
and continue to be strong

holding out for truth
often can be the long game

one man raps himself in an upside down flag
while the consequences are as yet to be lived
he will either disappear from history altogether
or infamy will darken every step they ever took.
Leads you to be someone you are not.

The human Mess is catastrophic
Lies, fears, lies
Solamente uno
Cut it down to size

Gonna work today
Gonna sleep as well
Then I sail away
Sail with Ishmael
