Echoes of Pain

The pain of living verses the pain of Earth,
What’s the difference, what’s it worth?

The pain of our bodies is very much like Earth’s pain,
They both feel terrible and can drive each one insane.

We hurt our bodies doing drugs, alcohol, or...

Colors of Unity - God’s Palette

People of color are everywhere,
It doesn’t matter, what do, I care.
As far as I have learned, through life,
God created all without any strife.

People of color live all over the place,
From Africa, even Antarctica a slice.
In the last few...

LA Fire

With tears of sorrow,
Will there be another tomorrow?

Our house has been destroyed by fire,
It is something I would have never desired.

As the winds fanned the flames higher and higher,
I look back and see my home, a ball of fire.

With...

As

Clock keeps time
We live as we
Should Upon the Earth
As God has lovingly
Planned for us human beings of
Man, and beast to live peacefully
Together on this wonderful planet Earth
Earth for who he hath made for us to...

A Child’s Wish

As a child explores the outer world,
Have you ever seen a wish twirled?

A dandelion in its final days...
The puffy ball of seeds sets a child to a daze.

"Why does it do that, Mom," says the little voice next to me.
You make a wish, then you...

Sciatica Struggles and Triumphs

Can you just believe,
No, I just cannot conceive…
That my ankle can cause me so much grief.
I am in such an unbelievable state of disbelief!

From a simple twist of an ankle, so I thought,
My leg muscles are becoming so distraught.
The pain...

Being Claustrophobic

Help!
I’m stuck in here!
I’m claustrophobic, you hear.
Don’t leave me in this elevator!
I need to get out now, not later!
Hurry up numbers, you’re moving too, slow!
I got to get out of here, please, I don’t know…
Move, door open please, I...

A New Me

Freedom of tomorrow begins again today,
Life has been frustrating, I surely can say.

I made up my mind and set it free,
I flew around the town like a bumble bee.

I went beyond my safety zone,
No, I didn't buy an ice cream cone.

I went so...

If Money Could Talk

Hello, I'm a five-dollar bill,
It's certainly not a heavenly thrill.

I’m made of paper and ink,
And put into zillions of pockets that stink!

There are times when people just don't care,
They get ketchup in my beautiful hair!

They take me...

The Beginning of Sin

As God has made Adam, so has He made Eve,
They didn't believe, God gave them too much to conceive.
With fields of grains, trees of fruit,
God gave them, a lot to boot!

As time went on, Eve took a walk...
Around the corner, the serpent...

Daily Life

The earth
Wakes early
And the suns high
Bringing wonder to
The landscape of her world
People hustle and bustle
To and from work to make a dime
As living these days is very hard
For inflation has hit all of...

Thanksgiving Dinner for Twelve

The table in the dining room is set, ready to go,
First to arrive, Uncle Ben and Aunt Flow.
Neither can hear, so they yell at each other,
Then came Niece May, and her grumpy mother.

Uncle George is pounding as usual at the door,
He has a...

Black Friday - Cashiers Day

It's a day from Hell,
Who rang the Devil's bell?

Forty people, twenty-one checks,
Then grandpa in line forgot his specks!

Where is that phone?
Upset people, I hear them groan.

Two hundred, fifty items and many more,
This person is one...

Hermit’s Got an idea, But Hermit’s Brain is Not Working Right

Hello everyone, my name is Mr. Frog Hermit,
No, I’m not related to Miss Piggy and Kermit.

Hello again, my brain is working, I think today,
It hasn’t had one idea since, oh, I think May.
Been quite busy, doing what I can't remember to this day....

Hello, I’m the Gonna Girl!

The girl who’s gonna do this, and gonna do that,
Cause, if I just sit around, I’ll get too fat!

I’m gonna move up north where the rivers flow.
Don’t know where yet, wouldn’t cha know.

I’m gonna buy me a big home on a sandy beach.

I've Learned!!

"Jimmy, what's in the red heart box?
Are you going to get some sparkly rocks?"

No, my Dear boy,
I'm going to give my girlfriend some joy.

See, it's going to be Christmas pretty soon,
I'm going to give her a ring, not a balloon.

Memories of the Loved - They Have Really Never Left.

As sunlight fades behind a darkened sky,
Seagulls show pattern, that life is flying by.

Like an ocean, bearing, gifts, to a rocky shore,
Enduring life's tidal wave, one suffers no more.

As time stops and physical presence is no longer,

Giggles, Grins & Love Within a Laugh

Giggles, grins and funny feelings,
All within my home's, quiet dealings.

The sneak attack,
Behind the back...

A poke here,
A tickle there...

A giggle and a grin,
I can't win.

Nerves, right to the top,
Oh, please, please, stop!

The Neighbor’s Noise

Oh neighbor, oh neighbor, what have you done?
You've called the police and ruined our fun!
You say our music rattles your walls...
Come knock on my door, if you have the balls.

I don't bite, like a rabid dog,
My breath doesn’t stink, like the...

Golden Rule - Keep the Bad Comments to Yourself!

Why do people have to be so cruel?
I have never seen such a rule.
Saying things, they may not mean,
It just makes me want to scream.

Hurting me and others in such away,
I'd love to say,
"Get out of here!"
Without fear.

We don't need you,...

The Simpleton's Muse

Everyone likes these big fancy words,
I think they’re for the birds.
I may not be as educated as you people are,
I’m also surely not a movie star.

I am just a simpleton who loves to write,
I write during the day and sometimes at night.

The Black Hole Captures the Journey of Life

Starship bright cursing at the speed of light
I left an innocent world behind, and when I crossed the golden line
I kind of lost my loving mind
A paradox in time have I really lost my mind
Into the black hole of life
I see the light in the...

My Talking Cat!

Litter box, litter box, so nice and clean,
I have to go, like you have never seen.
I'm going to climb right on in,
And grunt and groan as I begin.

As my poor little inners begin doing their thing,
As I feel better, you'll hear me sing.

Kleenex Tissue

The nice soft little tissue,
When I don't have you, I miss you.
You have many uses in my home,
When I don't have you, I groan.

I use you to wipe my nose when leaking,
I use you to stop my nose from squeaking.
I use you to wipe off my make-up...

Hey Shirley!

"I have sniffs and snuffles."

The Perfect Dad

You're the dad, you're doing great,
You deserve to celebrate.
For Fatherly duties you are their star,
For being the terrific Father that you are!

You pay attention to them and me,
You pass on words of wisdom, that's easy to see,

Another New Year

What's a New Year, a number change,
A life everyone wants to rearrange.
Change this, turn around that,
Numbers change when it comes to bat.

Writing a check with one number new,
Sometimes it starts with unwanted flu.
New Years Day is just...

From Breakfast Blues to Office Cheers

Making it delicious, making it fun,
Making it to eat, as I'm on the run.
Making it simple, pleasurable to eat,
Making it my morning, driving treat!

Tasty and delicious, she done it up right,
I'll need to kiss her, when I return tonight!

Rest His Soul - My Brother Mark

It’s sad that people must be so cruel.
They always want to fight and duel.
I can’t understand why it must be this way.
I live like this each God given day.

I love people but they sure can’t see.
It’s my nature within my soul, it’s me.
