I’ve Failed


I’ve failed to see or understand
the logic used and your demand
that all the world comply, accede
to errant thoughts. I will not heed
your words and live my life as planned.

I know you feel your way is grand
but don’t you think life would be bland
without eclectic paths. Your need
I’ve failed to see.

I will not judge you out of hand
nor wish to add an ampersand
to who you are so I will plead
that you reciprocate. Don’t lead
me down that route of shifting sand
I’ve failed to see.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy



Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers.

To all of you would-be and current multi-media pundits and purveyors of opinions, please keep your mouths shut until you are able to open your eyes, heart and mind. Thank you!


How Can You Pray

How can you pray and use that tongue
which you employ for spreading dung?
Each Judas-journalistic word
now reeks of hate and sounds absurd.
How can you pray?

Does fear force you to stay among
the crazed? Pavlov or Carl Jung
might help to guide you from that herd.
How can you pray?

Upon truth’s ladder you have hung
your heart and soul on lowest rung.
You parrot lines which you have heard
and break the wings of freedom’s bird
extolling lies to old and young.
How can you?
