THE FUTILITY OF WAR

Death; the dealer of the final deck of life. No hidden agendas, just a cold slate to wipe.   With hand and sword or rock and stone, with shaft sailing deadly through grey skies, alone.   The smarter the weapon, the reaper delights at a fulsome harvest of terror and cries.   They split the…

REGRETS

  I never got the chance to be, for you dear Dad, the best. I never had the strength inside to hold you to my chest.   I never made the time in life to be a father’s son and never had a hope of ever undoing things I’d done.   I never got to…

FRAGILE FAÇADE

  How frail, in truth, is the world that we tread? Captains and kings claiming calm sea’s ahead, as they’re riding high upon silver spoons laughing, as below, the world withers too soon.   How thin the membrane of life’s brittle bubbles, building our barriers and avoiding all troubles.

CHESS

LEGACY

Too much darkness in this dying world; too many force-fed fears. Too many bent and broken lives, adrift on a torrent of tears.   So many children brainwashed and abused in dull overcrowded halls. Pointless graffiti spreading like scars, on cold, crumbling walls.   Why do we let them arrogantly teach such a history of…

THE CLEANSING TIDE

The child in his arms, such a precious gift, her sweet little smile would make his heart lift. Born into a love that none could compare, baby blue eyes framed with curly blonde hair. Conceived and born on such love filled days, from the moment he held her he was blown away. His heart did…
