A Crown Forged BrightA Cage Forged Bright: A Hymn Against Gold
They say gold is pure. They say gold is holy. They say gold crowns kings, anoints gods, carries prayers.
They do not say: gold is a shackle. They do not say: gold is the sweetest lie ever sold. They do not say: gold is the hush money paid to...

MoneyThe things I paid for…
Like the feeling of swinging on my swingset.
It only cost a dandelion.
With seeds so harmless.
I was in high school.
I could have been happy.
If I played baseball, I would run from base to base.
But I prefer home.
I could have finished that essay.
But they say Wednesdays...

Fool's Gold Fortune, Part II...For two weeks Lester worked that pyrite vein,
and every day a brand new dollar came,
at the end he hug dug out two cart’s worth,
said Higgs, “Now that’s enough work in the earth.”
He smiled proud, they dragged it to the trains,
Lester still sure the old man was insane,
once loaded up, he said, “I will return
in six...

Fool's Gold Fortune, Part ILester sat in Lisa’s café that morn,
his eyes mindlessly staring out the door,
it was July of 1889,
and new work young Lester now had to find.
He’d left Jud’s ranch when he refused to pay,
did some small jobs, but not much came his way,
had heard some mines were opening up here,
but he might starve before they did,...

If money were just withered leaves carried by the windIf money were just withered leaves carried by the wind,
I would open a small flower shop on a forgotten street,
where days drift by slowly, and the air smells of fresh, gentle rain,
and the wind always carries the scent of clear mornings.
I would live alone in an old cottage,
deep in the mountains, where the trees are...

FREE THE APPLESApples the fruit of life, use to grow all over the earth.
Now they have been killed and replaced to make the earth a place of cement.
The juicy and lovely apple, was free to eat for those that choose it as a treat.
Maybe they killed so many apple trees, to make us pay for them....

SupercalifragilisticexpialidociousWhat a wonderful life it would be
If there really was a money tree
A great big oak, at least ten feet tall
How extraordinary for us all
All day, we pluck hanging twines that join
Tall branches heavy with golden coins
Tree abundant with crisp dollar bills
Be blessed to share bounty and goodwill
Verily believe that dreams come true

Poor versus Rich on Trial for MurderEvidence was spotty, not much justification
Giant stretch of prosecutor’s imagination
Easily led jury wanted to crucify and convict
Defendant’s wife felt like he was being kicked
Though there was no solid proof or DNA test
Was this lawyer truly the defendant’s best?
Victim was not alive to testify, unfortunately
The accused got sentenced to life and twenty-three
If this sap had been...
