We Rise AnywayLift the chin, my friend.
Let the dawn break through
whatever yesterday left behind.
The path was never meant
to be clean or quiet—
it’s blood,
and gravel,
and stubborn breath.
But you’re not walking it alone.
We carry one another
in sideways glances,
in cracked smiles,
in hands we didn’t expect
to hold us.
In the eyes around you,
look again—
there’s fire there,
flickering low,
waiting for someone
to believe in it.
Speak...

That he's the god host we should toast
Yet Don’s now upset
Since the odds on bet
Ranks him behind great Caesar’s ghost...

BloodlustBloodthirsty, flesh-hungry.
I was schooled
into turning off my heart.
Anything for the title,
for the power.
Power.
Power:
an intangible weapon-
a considerable price.
There are still more pressing matters.
Bloodlust.
Looming over my shoulder
like a shadow,
contorting in the light,
a quiet beauty
that speaks volumes
through the lenses
of a monster....

Freedom Is Infinite Power Of The SpiritHolding a butterfly in your own fist
Is the bottom line of life and freedom
Squeeze harder the butterfly would die
Letting the butterfly fly is his right
Not turn cemetery of beautiful moments
Letting go a person is not fall in love
Letting go a person is not kind of loss
It's an act of love, act of recognition
Letting go isn't...

As I Held Lightning I.
One cloudless day, without spring shower
or monsoon, angels made their stand;
and conjured otherworldly power,
one cloudless day, without spring shower.
When God chose me that fateful hour,
as I held lightning in my hand,
that cloudless day without spring shower,
I was marked for evil to devour.

Though crucified, reviled by...

Our Planet, Our PowerBeneath the sky so vast and blue,
A world of wonder calls to you.
With mountains tall and oceans wide,
It’s ours to love, not just to bide.
The whispering trees, the rivers that run,
The golden fields beneath the sun,
All speak a truth we can’t ignore,
This planet’s life is at our core.
But storms now rage, and glaciers cry,
Smoke hides...

TRUMP'S HANDS WIELD THE POWER
Soft and smooth, freshly manicured with
No trace left behind of struggle or woe;
Hard to gauge the multitude of daily trials
Or the enormous good and success bestowed.
He’s not afraid to let harsh enemies see his strength.
Strong and firm, his grasp telegraphs immaculate powers,
His steeled convictions and unyielding determination,
And the hell that might rain down in furious...

Turn Left at the lightsObtuse abuse..rude platitudes shout..
About alternative attitudes..generations..
Scream at different altitudes & latitudes..
Venerate mandarins sins..
Generate pernicious vicissitudes
Vicious avaricious machinations..
Celebrate nations chagrin…
Pander to propaganda spin..
AI garlanded reputations..
Cohorts in suits cavort in cahoots..
Kiss or diss..the abyss
Hiss of mis-information bliss..
Arrests..capitalist corporate conquests...detests protest..
Well got egregious prior & previous..

Whatever your hue or world view..
We know what's wrong..doesn't belong
Deliriously daring to...

Still Saluting Putin?Will Putin listen?
Siberia gulags glisten
Hysteria seeds myopia
Creeds..deeds feeds dystopia
Crimea bleeds...greed cornucopia
Impassioned stock shock rationed
Shepherd & flock fashioned
Russian roulette yet again
Ukraine disdain cam-pain
Vladimir fears
Scurrilous sneers
Mutinous jeers
Career nadirs
Dissident disappears
Old school kidology
Muscovite cruel mythology
Satellite strewn astrology
Fossil fuel fool geology
Ideology without apology
Bizarre highfalutin Tsar theology

Easter 2025Sometimes I ask myself if Jesus could speak to the people of today. What would he say and do? With all the senseless killings and a lunatic running the White House, could he still want to give up his life for us? The answer is Yes, for I believe he came to do what...

Power To RepentIf you love someone
Keep your words
Your words is you
Keep true to your vow
Your vow is your offering
To someone you promise
If you deviate from your words
Your life is all betrayal
All corruption, all evil
What would be left from you
Are emptiness, hatred and not loved
Unless you repent, reevaluate yourself
To change for good, for the better
God will cleanse...

WOMEN POWERTake your power women, and use it for good.
Remember the times that we suffered with no path to grow.
They made us work for free, and kill our children by abortion and lack of money to give birth.
They made us choose life or death, by failing to give us choices.
We needed free...

The Balance of EnergyLike currents pulsing through the veins of time/
A dance of opposites so grand, so prime/
Light and shadow, day and night,
One cannot live without the other's might/
Like a battery charged with two-fold grace/
Positive hums, negative keeps pace/
Push and pull, give and take/
A cosmic rhythm none can break/
In forces unseen, in whispers divine/
God's glow, the darkness aligns/
