My response to Addictions by Acme

For The Addicted

    For the addicted there’s no hate
For the addicted there’s sadness
For the addicted there’s anger
For the addicted there’s madness

For the addicted there’s pain
For the addicted wants to die
For the addicted hurts so many
For the addicted our tears we cry

For the addicted though it’s not a disease
For the addicted it was a choice
For the addicted there’s help
For the addicted I utter with devoice

For the addicted Have given up
For the addicted chose not to fight
For the addicted lives in the dark
For the addicted closes their eyes to the light

For the addicted there is shame
And the whole world is afflicted
For the addicted we pray for
God’s Grace for the addicted

Forgive me my views but myself being
A victim of child abuse at the hands of
An alcoholic father mentally and physically
Because he chose his love for alcohol instead
Of his love for his wife and children.
And I know it’s a choice not a disease
Because when my turn came to make the same choice, I chose to love my wife and daughter. And the easy way out for me could have been choosing alcohol or drugs or both because of everything I went through but I CHOSE to fight and not give up on life or myself. God Bless the addicted but you can chose to fight or you can stay addicted and cause more heartache and pain than you will ever realize.

Our Certain Uncertainty

  Since the beginning of time
This has always been true
In our life we never know when our
Time here in this world is through

With this Coronavirus though humans
May be closer to being extinct
I am not one to push the panic button
But by being human we are linked

Now our Mother Earth is getting its
Revenge for our abuse
For we take and take and litter and
Dump our waste and there’s no excuse

So now here we are, the world
Is on the edge of an emergency 🚨
And the one thing that hangs in the
Balance is still our certain uncertainty

Dance with me
my darling
upon the balcony
in the moonlight
cheek-to-cheek

We can whisper about
the shrouded past with smiles
and promise each other
all sorts of pleasures
one last time

Just close your eyes
my love
ignore the sound
of the wrecking ball
and i will hold you tight

even if for only a moment longer...

Dear Dad

if you are here, you will not believe it
but the world is slowly crumbling
and pretty soon chaos and disaster
will explode everywhere
you probably were here during the SARS
period, now there is another more cruel and
hungry.

     now I am afraid to read the papers, watch TV and hearing the news on the radio like I used to enjoy with you because all you hear and see now is death, sorrow, sickness and pain

     Dad even though I miss you when your gone, I am glad you do not live in this era. I just wish you would know though, I am scared not for me but for my children.

love, your Daughter
my letter that will never be read by that one person that matters the most

These are the hands that will guide you to greatness,
These are the hands that will stay through the years,
These are the hands that will celebrate good times,
And these are the hands that will wipe away tears.

These are the hands that will love you forever;
When you are weak they will help you feel strong,
And, right now, since these hands are entwined together
These hands are precisely where they belong
Recently I was asked to write and perform a hand-binding wedding ceremony for two of the loveliest people I know while I was dressed as a dragon. It's definitely one of the best things I've ever done, and I doubt I'll ever do anything like it again! This is the poem I wrote for the special moment.
