We have sold our dreams
To the rich,
For promises
Of bread and circuses,
And now our bellies
Are empty.

"the view from my yard."
I sit in a chair with a beer as the world dies
For the 100th time during my lifetime.
It seems the world is always ending,
There is always some nutcase claiming
That this or that god is coming back
To wreak vengeance on someone they
Don't like or care for.

Had a fellow poet Ask " how do you stop it from hurting?"
I replied " Alcohol? He'll if I know, I just keep writing...but Alcohol seems to help"
This is what it means to write....seriously.

I have simplified my life by simply adopting this mantra;
" Fight Fascism First."
There are many things in this world that
Grab our attention, many issues to drag
Us around like an old sock in a yard full of dogs.
It's easy to get overwhelmed.

When you think something
When you say something
When you do something
Check the vibration
Check the intent
Check the possible consequences
Like a musician bent over a harp
Make sure the note is clear
And harmonic.
If it doesn't fit the song,
Find a tone that does.

When you're caught in a spiral
Of irrationally
It's hard to get out.
The more you try to find something
To grasp, to hold on to, the faster
It spins.
The secret is to just let it go
And step away.

Did promise a poem.
She picked me up
Said " this e'll do!"
And took me home.
I still don't know
What she saw in
My sorry Irish ass
But till my dying day
Imma try to live up
To what ever she sees in me.
Slainte!

"how much you drinking tonight dear?"
" this one. Maybe one more, depends on how I feel.":
This is why I love this woman.
I can be totally honest with her.
There is no place for anything other than honest answers.
Probably sounds odd to some.
But as late diagnosed ADHD
This is all I needed.

If you're faith drives you to hate
Others and wish them harm
Or deny them human rights,
Is it any wonder I avoid your faith
Like a soggy dog turd
In a hot concrete sidewalk?
If your willing to die and kill
For your god
Can you even claim to be
The thing your God created?

You ask where all the
Madness came from.
Brother. It was here the whole time.
If you lived in a small town
It walked the street beside you,
Sat in the pew next to you
Sat on the town council.

"Grumpy old man shouts at clouds."
As a parent,
if you're not traumatizing and crushing
Your children,
How do you expect them to fit in
With the traumatizing and crushing
System we live in?
I mean you want them to grow up fine,
Just like you did. Right?

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

We should get rid of the terms
"Good" and "Evil".
They are obtuse and judgemental.
Let's try "Kind and "Mean" instead.
Then the behavior is the
Target of the judgement
Instead of the person.
Much less subjective too.
