  • A life in hand

    a life in hand is worth all the lives in heaven and in hell

    and all the lives from all time, back to one

    a life in hand is worth as much as the first one

  • Uncle Tom Tancredo

    Uncle Tom Tancredo

    why are you cutting our family tree

    if someone told me a man was chewing his own leg

    I would say that could not be

  • Mah (Mother)

    Mah

    I honor you,  I thank you

    you gave me of your body

    and then you gave me more

    you protected me, you fed me

    you held my hand and you led me

    You showed me that I was special

    You showed me that I am just one (wo)man

    You showed me how we are all different

    You showed me how we were all one

    You taught  me the magic of sharing and how it fills your heart

    You made me feel alright, way back, from the start

    You gave me true happiness , then you gave me more

    And when you had no more to give, you showed me how to hope.

    you blessed me, you assured me

    you taught me how to cope

    mother

    I honor you and I thank you

  • Rachel Corrie

    who gets the glory for the day that we killed Rachel Corrie

    how long will we sacrifice children to please the Gods?

    we should have her, here, with us, shining her light

    instead of in heaven, where certainly, there is no plight

    we are chasing the reflection, like the dog and the bone

    have we all gone mad or is it just me alone

  • I was born again

    I believed in God and nothing in the world made sense.

    Now, everything makes sense.

    It is as if I was born again.

  • I was

    i was like a vulture with massive wings, i was a flying serpentine menace, i was quick and i was vicious, i was wild, crazy and capricious
    i could smell you coming around the bend, i had a ruthless attack you could not defend,
    my mission: deliver maximum terror, i was what evil saw when it looked in the mirror,
    i could see your puny thoughts before you could, your ass was hay if you came to my hood,
    my presence meant your fate was done, if you saw me and you had any sense you would run,
    when i created chaos i was thorough, in every soul i would plant the seed of horror,
    i could not wait for the daytime to come, so through the night i go get me some,
    i would not rest till everyone understood, i was here to stay i was here for good,
    that is how it goes, that is how it went,
    until you came and your life i spent,
    i realized that by killing you,
    a part of me was ripped out too,
    and every time that i slew another,
    i was killing myself

  • The White Light

    until i get to my first memory
    when i left the warmth of my mother’s
    womb
    the trauma of the birth canal
    i felt like i was going to die
    and then
    relief
    the white light
    that image burnt into the back of my
    mind
    filled my eyes
    it was blurry
    there were some beings there to
    welcome me
    like they knew i was coming

  • I believe in the sun

    I believe in the SUN
    the Most High
    the Eternal Guardian
    the Star in Heaven
    the Light of the World

    the ever faithful
    Our Savior

    W is for WAR

  • An eternity, a day

    a shrub, a garden
    a person, a world
    a moment, a lifetime
    a boy, a girl

    a dream, a reality
    a idea, a way
    an experience, a journey
    an eternity, a day
