Council of the Wicked
As the man walks alone he sees the joy from the counsel that has become the Pharisees. They have given the oath of rituals that pertain to the past and not for the future. Looking at the actions and expectations, he sees them like the corrupted Phrarisees. What they have done is go against the Edenic beauty of...

my soul in foreign lands, forgotten 2
A soul's etched cartography compasses spins a needle frantic above a parchment of skin. A map… Each line a river I've drowned in, blood I waded and divide each faded scar a language scarlet, unfound! My soul no longer shapes foreign land of waste annihilates behind my eyes...! I see nothing deserts exhale silent sacred sands… Hearts pulse with unheard drums an archway to oblivion...

“Consequence” Smile, Smile, Smile my little child, Smile. I know you can Oh, little child of the street. Pope Francis says, “You are a consequence, A consequence of war.” Your tattered clothes, Your blackened face, You’re all alone, You have no home. Smile, Smile, Smile my little child, Smile.

Wasteland of Failure
The outside is where I belong The inside so filmiar A constant stride to belong To fit the mold of what a man should be Weak I am cancered by self denial When will it end for me Alone I be What a disappointment A shaded comparison of where I started I seek something But back away When it gets hard I blame all but...

Boomerang
As we consider others With more than a few objections Can we unveil Our own masked reflections? As we review our brother With an exaggerated disdain Can we become cognizant Of the true source of our pain? As we inspect our neighbor With ever ascending exasperation Can we give pause and question The root of our vexation? As we give the mirror Just one more searching glance In order...

Premium Member God's Gifts
With God’s presence all around me, Yet His gift is missed. Unknown by many who surround, Their blindness fills my heart with sadness. For disbelief clouds what is clear, How could they fail to see? His omnipresence, bright and pure, Hidden in the shadow of doubt. His grace, a gift they...
