Oh snap !
I’d rather be a snapper than a steel toed rapper.
I’d rather be a talking picture than a star.
I’d other be an otter that a kiss all crapper
I’d brother be the dime than a spare change con.

Chestnuts
A brick thru the window
A colorful ass
A world full of squirrels
A notion morassed
A covey of covets
A princess , A pawn
A principal upheld
Warm rum in a glass.

Once upon a time
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
— Continental Congress.
If our founding Fathers actually believed the words they penned in the Declaration of Independence there never would have been slavery or segregation in this country.
bells
when you’re broken deep inside
there are fractures hard to hide.
when your list of wrongs is long
when you’re broken deep inside.
when you empty out your soul
there is nothing left to dole.
then you know what you must do
as the bells begin to toll.
then you know what you must do
as the bells begin to toll.

paying the price
The acorn falls within the shade of the tree.
The town hall crier cannot bear your fruit.
Don’t try to stand tall when you are too small to know the truth.
When you inaugurate a Lincoln you should expect a toll from a Booth.

cat cries
tears
are tiny mentions
of your needs
they form
pools
which glisten
like the dreams
that have
left your sight.

Heroic climb
One must scale the twin walls of satire and sarcasm to glance down into the garden of inner truths.

ever present
there’s no hand or word to lift me up…
i was buried long ago.
stumbling down my daily path…
got no future, got no past.
i was buried, let me go…
