Wisdom With Age
When I was younger I craved, hungered For relief, release I was tortured, teased Yet, no savior came Every day I prayed I grew older, grew Bolder, wiser, screw The opinions of Chumps and minions, tough On the surface only Truth is they’re lonely In retrospective They’re just protective Of their own failures Look past…

Life Tides
In the wake of the tide I wane and wax Push and pull Ebb and flow With life as the ocean Vast and everlasting We know the shallow But we do not understand the deep We live by the moment Save for a future that is uncertain We plan to dream But as the everlasting…

Pain and Smiles
The words on my lips Lie in wait as bait Baited breath for quips Flip the switch and wait My fuse shortened By the state post quake I blow and get the short end The only smiles, fake What’s left through the years The tears of a clown The words I yearn to sneer I…

I’ll Speak My Mind
I haven’t written in months Word’s fly off like moths I’m seeking my filter For words not fit to be heard But my pen leaks And my keyboard speaks My temper peaks And the world reaks Putrid hate and spite That everyone makes light Cancel culture is rampant And I can’t stand it Why must…
