VALUE
When you can buy
Anything you desire
Those possessions
No longer have
Value.

POEMS & FLEETING THOUGHTS
Looking Back,
Have you ever
Wished
You were young
Again,
With what
You know
Now?
POEMS & FLEETING THOUGHTS
THE END
For our country,
I feel this
Is the beginning
Of the end.
And we
Are in part
Responsible.
I once used a line in a poem, ‘a sadness too deep to be real’.
It is becoming real.
There are still those full of poetry, stories and art. They struggle to survive and they always will. But greed has taken over this country.
The only comfort for me personally is that I will be dead when this great country’s dream is unrecognizable.
POEMS & FLEETING THOUGHTS: CONFUSION
THE PAST AND PRESENT
I recall the little boy
Full of hope
And no one
To give him
Guidance.
Thoughts beyond
His young mind
Could not understand.
He became a man
And as in his youth
There are no answers.
POEMS & FLEETING THOUGHTS
THE SECRET MESSAGE
I know I promised to return to the art of writing, but thoughts and life interfere.
Life
We settle
For the superficial,
That is what we are taught,
What we are trained to accept,
But those
Who think beyond,
Pondering their existence,
Pondering questions
Their life does not fulfill
Risk madness,
Or perhaps,
True happiness.
