Casualties
Scalding water to make tea
Eggs Broken to cook an omelet

I wonder what I'd do if it were up to me

Where I'd draw the line in the sand

Call it Progress
The people built the wall
With their hands in their pockets
Brick by brick
Lifted over heads bowed low
Then they tore it down
Hands bleeding

Gold in a Famine
Icy feathers
Biting frost
Snow stained red
With years we lost
Freezing blankets of winter snow
Gnawing hunger
Kings brought low

"History"
Watch the fire through wavy glass
See the shadows
Bury the past
Gaze upon distorted flames
Glowing embers
Burning names

Tips on Running America
Suppress women
Suppress people of color
Suppress the vote

Lie on TV
Lie to yourself
Lose

a death worth living
people sleep
in beds
in graves
laid down by death's sweet glave
and when the songbird spreads its wings
some will wake when morning sings
but others still will slumber on

Ode to the Simply Whimsical and the Unnecessarily Dramatic
Ode to those that make life into gold

If Only I Could Hug the Stars
If only I could hug
The stars;
Perhaps I could shatter them
And cup the shards
In my palms,
The cracks constellations
Aligning with my veins,
But that isn’t close enough

I ask a lot of things
Why stay, when to breathe polluted air is to condemn your lungs?
Why stay, when to walk on hot coals ensures that every next step will burn?
If we, as people, seek water,
why do we always land at a mirage?

Sunset
Walking through the college greens
On a warm night
Some random song stuck in my headPlaying on repeat once again
Smelling the new flowers bloomingIn the garden near my favorite picnic table
