The Newspaper
I’m tired of the newspaper, Defeated and ashamed, For story after story features He-who-can’t-be-named. But even worse, the toadies Who bow down and kiss his toes Are gloating with their power Which nobody will oppose. We’re headed for disaster Yet it’s difficult to care Because the news assures us That, already, we are there. Our nation once was mighty, Opportunity did shine, But that’s the case no longer Since nobody...

News these days, scars our soul; children are sold by their own parents: promises made, betrayed. Life’s likened to a dark dream, conjured by man’s demonic heart but we find no solace in these words, witnessing the rape of our consciousness. Within life’s fearful darkness, some lights shine, lessons of peace, forgiveness and trust, which heart clutches onto in hope, that a day will come when love will transform...

He ran from church to church, from avenue to avenue, from restaurant to restaurant, spreading...
