Gnomes

Gnomes

and

domes

hummingbirds

rest

butterflies

hover

bees

buzzing

flying by

a sip

a whack

what was

that?

Rest in peace

beast…

symphony

of

sound

abound

life

surrounds

us

We are

One…

Never Ever

Never

Ever

will

I

second

guess

myself.

Never

Ever

will

I

stand

back

and

let

others

determine

my path.

Never

Ever

will

I doubt

who

and

what

I

AM.

EVER…

 

I’m…

I’m late

I’m early

I’m on time

open the gate

I’m out

I’m in

I’m in between

open the door

I’m down

I’m up

I’m upside down

open the window

I’m backwards

I’m forwards

I’m sideways

open the escape

I’m free…

We are Americans

Carnage

again and again

when does it end?

Who are we?

Where are our values?

We went to the Moon

We are going to Mars

but it is dangerous

to go

to school

to work

to church

to Walmart…

We are Americans

we can do better

can’t we?

Look at the Country

we are passing

on to our children;

A dying planet

by our abuse,

violence everywhere

racism

sexism

poverty

homeless defecating

on the streets

children in cages

corruption in government

a failing education system

a middle class that cannot survive

and the list goes on.

We are Americans.

We can do better,

can’t we…
