The Prayer
Now I lay me down to sleep
Whom ghosts and goblins do thy keep
In tight festering corners of their own choosing
I pray for this soul that I am losing
If I die before I wake
And my soul is still at stake
Let the winner be
The one who called to me...
OUR EARTH
POEMS TO OPEN OUR EYES
Just wonderin'
I watch a small child as she faith-fully runs after
a graceful grasshopper as it jumps over the surface
of that green green grass in this lazy field while
deer, chipmunk, and bluebird's whisper through the woods.
Rain, honeysuckle, and violet blossoms scent the air,
and I listen to the song of woodpecker's close by.
I remember that small child was about eight then.
That small child was me, and now I am nearing thirty.
Since then, that field, now an empty lot, has been fenced in
and there are no more flowers to scent the air,
it's been polluted with many chemicals now...
And I see that there's a highway above the old field,
and the children and animals are all gone
... everything gone forever ...
I sit on the sidewalk curb among piles of scattered garbage
with needles and crack vials at my feet listening to
sirens and traffic above me, and I wash this filthly pavement
with my tears...
We , God 's precious life ...
Don't we care any more...?
Then why?
WE
We, the destroyers of nature
We, the polluters of the air
We, the contaminators of the water
We, the murders of each other
We, the killers of ourselves
We, the sad race called... Humanity?
Animals
The dolphins die-
trapped in our nets
The seals die-
trapped in our traps
The birds and fish die-
trapped in our oil
The animals die
trapped in our world...
Burn my eyes with your blaring light
Leach off my skin with your scalding touch
Polute my lungs with your septic breath
Shatter my eardrums with your screams
I fall quivering at your feet
You gawk down at me with that diabolical smile
The heavens above rage and rumble over your head
ready to strike me back down when you're through
I wake up -- Just a dream--
New York
I've escaped you for good...
play
responsibility
on
our
crass
lack
of
knowledge
to
be
a
positive
society
This War on Our Earth...
transplant our colony
be bionic, solar people
assemble those weapons
imagine that?
we, the young, are still alive ...
peaceful spirits gather
be thankful
because our world is
but a window into forever
Untitled
Saw a homeless man the other day
Couldn't just walk away
So I stopped, pulled out a couple bills
I said to him, "Here, have five dollars."
He said, "Thanks!"
And took ten...
Past Lives
"Virtue in distress
and vice in triumph
makes atheists
of mankind."
DRYDEN
Doctrine of rebirth-
Worthy of investigation?
Truth?
Can it even be established?
Reason...
Intuition...
Successive lives...
Human suffering...
Children dying...
Mothers crying...
HAD it all happened before?
If so...
Why the hell would He LET it happen AGAIN?

The Goal
If goal there be
meaning of
human existence...
I ask,
what purpose?
Living under
the shadow
of...
Perpetual
Fear...
Disease...
Depression...
Pestilence...
Famine...
Where is the light?
Can it be found
in this world
so overshadowed
by such black clouds?

Prejudice-
Encumbrance

the
attainment
of
knowledge
