Untitled

In the blink of the Eye
We will become nothing more
Than the dust beneath our feet,
Our collective thoughts and ideas
Smoke- borne into the furthest
Reaches of the expanding universe...
Who knows the entity that sees these plumes
And deciphers our record,
The amazing yet predictable story of the Rise and Fall of Mankind?

Climate change is real, folks.

Ribbon

Even in my dreams
I am not me...
But am instead a figment of someone else's
Ideals and aspirations...

Diving Bell

Your words flashed
And my skin turned to cinders.
But I heard rain outside,
And put on my flippers,
Diving deep down,
Into the nearest puddle,
Your face turned liquid
As I seek absolution.

Bad argument with a good friend.

Hey! Freedom Fighters (A political haiku)

A call to rebel
From the top, is no call.
It is sedition.

I have not had time to get out a proper poem expressing my horror over the events of yesterday in Washington, D.C. I have read the "freedom fighters" justification for their actions. They need to simply look up three words: "Sedition"
"Revolution"
"Coup"
Only then will they understand what they really did.
Let us not forget this, America.

Blue Thursday

Life can be like the Sahara in August
When water becomes an urgent issue
And the oasis is another day away...

A Year To Remember (haiku)

The year is now done.
I say with sincerity:
"**** 2020".
