Some verse

Censorship

How do you react to censorship

The same way I react to narrow-minded thinking

I reject it shouting it down

Both are judging and denying

All that is

All that is to be

The freedom of expression

Of seeing and telling in a new fresh way

Don’t run and hide

Rather embrace

All that is

All that is to be

The “C” word

Courage

Conundrum

Collapse

Calamity

Catastrophe

Cable

Cooperate

Castrate

Calibrate

Celebrate

Campaign

Complain

Caretake

The ancient explorers they made a choice

A closed world to many flat is all they knew

But these nomads had to wander the world

Knowing and believing that the stars don’t lie

Some came in peace while others destroyed and conquered

In the end regardless of intent the face of the world changed

As it always and always will because the seasons change

A perfect cycle that answers to no one

* From A Nomad in My Own Mind

Why do we always try

to make living a certain way

do this do that

follow the company line

I sat at a party of sorts

the other night

tucked away in a corner

out of the way

but able to observe

all the goings on

Strange after all these years

how little change there is

The same old people

just that…older

but not a day more wiser

or better at just accepting

that they might as well

stop trying to impress

those who are only

impressed with themselves

In the end

long before

the party ever ended

it ended for me

as I raced out the door

fresh winter air

blasting at my face

I cannot tolerate

never have really well

just doing things

the same old way
