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…

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…

Mistakes

Mistakes

and

mishaps

foolish

falls

right

the

wrongs

even

if at

a crawl

step

out

close

in

find

the

door

that’s

what

life

is

for…

 

4th of July

Revolution

in the raw

Freedoms

never seen

before.

Blueprint

for the

world

EVEN if

not for All…

Marching

towards

EQUALITY

for ALL

once

and for

all…

Please,

isn’t that

what it

all was

for?
