RANDOM POETIC THOUGHTS

Living in the space between my Ears

Consumed in the world of ear buds and John Coltrane “Lush Life”

But life isn’t so lush or so it is just not at the moment.

My world is my music my internal MP3 player.

THE TIME

Wheels stopped turning.

The battery is dead.

The arms wait to sweep

the numbers again.

The time can’t be told

with the wheels not turning,

the battery being dead,

and the arms not sweeping.

What time is it?

Fact, I know that its six hours past

Eastern Standard Time.

But from where I am standing my watch

stopped telling the time.

S.O.S

Like an only child I called names that did not exist.

I called for help beyond myself.

Democracy with a capital “D”

He is a demagogue using his powerful pulpit

to preach a dogma of democracy and false diplomacy.

American people deluged with illusions of freedom.

Our Forefathers vision is daily becoming decadent

and disabled by this philosophy of religious rhetoric.

Those that disagree are daunted and considered unpatriotic.

But I love my country and what it is “supposed” to stand for;

I believe that there is hope.

I don’t believe like some prophesy that there is a

Rome-like doom in our future

but that we are destined for Democracy with a capital “D”.
