Founding Fathers

If their expressions carved in stone

could move once again,

their expressions would remain stony.

The dysfunction

we allow to continue functioning

Their gardens,

now flowering with pollution

How the flame of hatred

continues to burn

  • Plan to Dream

    With my one and only life,

    I plan to think and dream,

    no matter if my ideas are rife,

    no matter how extreme.

    I’ll climb the highest mountain,

    figurative or real.

    My dreams, I‘ll keep on countin’,

  • Even When

    If I can walk through the rain,

    I can run in the sun,

    even when it feels like the downpour

    will never stop.

    Because even if it doesn’t for a long time,

    umbrellas will be offered

    from hands I love to hold
