Unfair
i call unfair on you
the ones in power
the ones with money
deciding my life
without my consent
buying my future
for pennies on the dollar

Week 31, Day 214 – “Unfair”
Week 31, Day 213 – “Small”
Small
a grain of sand
lost in the black hole
center of our galaxy
crushed to infinite smallness
where matter turns to light
and light never escapes
teeny tiny little bity
this is the weight of a soul
Week 31, Day 212 – “Run Away”
Run Away
new breeze blows warm air
with the smell of salty sea
asking us to run
Week 31, Day 211 – “2010”
2010
twenty ten
two zero one zero
or is than naught
all for that
all for naught
all for one
and one for naught
just do it
for no reason
whatever
whatever happens
whatever it takes
no stopping until its done
done on earth as it is in heaven
where god talks
to the dead
and they converse about big ideas
ideas with no answers
on earth
filled with water
coming from the sky
the blue sky
made from bending sun light
sunny delight
for breakfast
and maybe some french toast
mmm, mmm, good
Week 30, Day 210 – “Sad Movies”
Sad Movies
sad movies always make me cry,
but reality never does
don’t know why that is
maybe i’m a bad person
or maybe
that’s just the way i’m built
a little different from everyone else
Week 30, Day 209 – “Yes, I am”
Yes, I am
are you coming to say goodbye?
to see me off at the airport?
to wish me well in my new endeavor?
I am going on, moving forward,
but I will miss you
and remember you
Week 30, Day 208 – “Ear Ache”
Ear Ache
woke to a bad day
ears crackle and dizzy head
can’t think straight
Week 30, Day 207 – “Green”
Green
what do children of the desert
think of environmentalism?
they’ve never seen a forest
never sat in the shade
of their favorite oak tree
and read poetry
or rolled down grassy hills
or wadded in a shallow stream
what do you tell these children
when they ask you why?
why care about green
when their whole lives are white
white walls, sky and sand
warmed to unreasonable degrees
save the earth kids
so i can enjoy the great outdoors
at home.
Week 30, Day 206 – “Burdens of Life”
Burdens of Life
food and a place to live
respect, purpose and love
all needed but right now
my life’s a complete mess
Week 30, Day 205 – “In Between”
In Between
caught between here and the next
souls of the recently dead
looking for some direction
there seems to be no way back
and an unknown path forward
its here in the in between
that everything falls apart
