“The money power preys on the nation in times of peace, and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or [...]

Everything and nothing

Let’s pull together, seize the reins
Stop now the madness that demands
From frothing mouths and spitting words
That try to shake our faith in truth
Return them now to guttered grime
Cast out to save both yours and mine
Use now your anger to subvert
Return those soiled back to the dirt
Let flowers of the future bloom
And fill the space of [...]

Feeling the heat

I’m tired of twisted lies and strangled truths Of tales laced ever with such poisonous doubts. Is honesty now lost to hope and fear And calm debate to rising angry shouts?
It’s time to turn from pettiness and hate And sow the seeds of care [...]

The crush

She came second to none though occasionally third Uncertainly bright though by no means a nerd Her first name was Barbara or Betty or Pat On her Garland coiffure sat a pert little hat

The scream

Do I care about your fads,
your tears, your fears,
your goods and bads?
Do I care about your dreams,
your hopes, your mopes,
your plans and schemes?

but wonder if you can tell me
and open up my eyes to see
the way [...]

Let those be free who are not born of hope [...]

Behind the veil

Roll up your sleeve we’ve a needle for you
Roll up your eyelids to see what is true
Roll up your blinds it’s a beautiful day
Our sun is shining with beams of decay
Servants look into your masters’ mad eyes
Servants look hard to see through their disguise
Servants look beyond their promise of hope
See then the emptiness there without [...]

Path to wisdom

Do the trees call as I pass?
Should I wave back to the grass?
Does the sky look down on me
One of those who cannot see?
Sunlight penetrates my eyes
Stirring thoughts that hypnotize
Curtains drawn against the light
Hold the shadows of the night
Creatures know that I am there
One of whom they must beware
Tortured by the silken past
Haunted by what [...]

The parting

Why did you leave when I needed you most? Has love left the track to no more pass the post? I’m still here, the one whom you thought you had lost Just having a hard time and counting the cost.
Where is the shoulder that I leaned upon? [...]
