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…

Waking Dreams

Walking towards

a dream

unseen

searching

racing

clouds

losing

sheen

losing

steam

places

and

spaces

I have

been,

gather

forces

regroup

align

take

aim

fire…

fight

for the

dream…

Toe to Toe

A toe

in the

universe

A mind

in the

sky

A heart

in a

far away

land

A spirit

that

flies

glides

hides

A pilgrim

on a

journey

always

seeking

always

listening

always

learning

A toe

A mind

A heart

A spirit

set free…
