“Eyes Wide” – Poetry
Heritage replaced with agendas Unvarnished truth replaced with convenience Warmth and joy replaced with icy stares Growth replaced with competitive stagnation The proof, it screams! The eyes unveiled. Such a burden they often bear Minds filled with endless queries Scavenger hunts that last an eternity Ridiculed and cut down, yet they still persevere Their questions… Continue reading “Eyes Wide” – Poetry
“Blinded” – Poetry
I passed by the open door, head shaking in awe At the petty grievances held, the loftiness of the up-turned nose, At the minds closed to all but grandeur. For some, it's bathed in silk and velvet, For others, gashing wounds are a Divine right. Life without the love of Heaven is the truest state… Continue reading “Blinded” – Poetry
“Weighted and Shackled” – Poetry
Weighted and shackled, I struggle on Knowing the cost of surrender is high Endless worlds spiraling outward As Divinity's quill passes by I beg a little of that inspiration A chance to recapture that childhood dream Then carried on a distant breeze, a whisper "Take heart. Things are not what they seem." From here, I… Continue reading “Weighted and Shackled” – Poetry

Entertainment reaching filthier depths Jet-setting prophets with pulpits of gold Woe to the child! Woe to the parent! Repetitive sales pitch a thousand years old There's a Devil in the books, screens, and boards Dressed up in words of trendy expression He wants to rule forever and a day Camouflaged with stylish, brand-name presentation The… Continue reading “First and Last” – Poetry
“Still Worthy” – Poetry
If you're lost and feel alone -you're still worthy. If you feel no one cares - you're still worthy. If you've forsaken your true path - you're still worthy. If you sense the darkness in the air - you're still worthy. If you've ridiculed the righteous - you're still worthy. If you carry wounds… Continue reading “Still Worthy” – Poetry
“To Those Who Harm the Children” – Poetry
Revelations made public Entering every home Tidings of swift retribution Utterly inescapable Riches turn to dust before them Naked truth given voice Three times the debt repaid Only the pure left standing Some balance finally restored Even the shadows disown you Neatly fulfilling the prophecy Disintegration of glamor Ends the age of terror… Continue reading “To Those Who Harm the Children” – Poetry
“To the Righteous” – Poetry
Let us sing the old, old song Of the Love that's freely given Starbursts glitter! Infinite Mind's Regalia of joy we live in Raindrops within raindrops Indestructible ties are binding Memories returning through The darkened mist that shrouds them Clawing your way up From beneath the mire of ruin Destined to be at one with… Continue reading “To the Righteous” – Poetry
