Whats in a name


Better than a pep pill

Labels? I don't need anymore labels
I have enough self-inflicted
In life you're pigeon holed, into this, into that.
If you try to do anything different, you're a freak you're ostracized.
...

There's beauty here hidden deep
Within the concrete & the brick
Sometimes it's hard to find
Within the swells of city life

Buddha love.
(I smile at people I dont know, thats buddha love.)
(I believe all life is connected, thats buddha love)
I know that lifes a golden chance thats buddha love)

Who will protect history from the lies
Of jingoistic ministers? Who glory in
War, its victims who laid dying & bleeding

Through My Eyes

I see versions of myself in the eyes of all I see
In the black eyes of the drunks,

On the street it lay a rose

Always haunting
Always in the corner
...

I can regret nothing.
If I did everything I experienced would a lie.
I can learn new lessons and I've learned my lessons well, and I've made some mistakes can't you tell?
My mistakes have at times been my lessons, but to regret them would place me in a hell! I've just escaped from one you see I have.

Muse, you’re much more than a peer.
You are what anyone should aspire to be.
Your inspiration is without peer.
You’re a peer unto yourself a peer that's worth more than wealth.
...

It’s always there, always haunting
Always at the corner, in the front.

The MAD tells us what we need

I was playing “Poets hitchhiking on the highway” today
With my granddaughter Lilli Mae

Sometimes its clear like a mountain stream
Sometimes its gloomy grey, a fog adrift at sea
Sometime it’s a spark a shared moment, the child in me
Its the brightness of a fresh morning
