keep on keeping on…

keep on keeping on

lord knows
i’ve
my share
of
pain
’bout the same
as
other folks
i suspect
so
there’s no need
for me
to
list
for you
what ain’t right
you’d
just pull out
a checkbox list
of
yours
marking off
what we
share
and
when
we’d
compare
you might be
worse off
than
me
so you see
ain’t nothing
more
for me
to say
‘cept
i be
keeping on

 

 

inadvertent insult..

how to manage children with challenging behaviors

recall my dear friends
we hear through our memories
words said have been said
their first intentions linger
words become symbols of pain
no matter who presents them

 

 

a poor man’s petition…

a poor man's petition

now lord
why don’t you
show
some heart
and
keep my friends
from
falling apart
ain’t asking much
like raising
the dead and such
just asking
for
a little mercy
can’t stand to see
my friends
falling apart
so
why not
show some
of
that divine
heart
and keep them
and
pain
apart

sympathetic vibration…

sympathic vibration

the keys
to
hell
have been placed
outside
your door
an
express delivery
no
signature needed
your life
has certified
the
delivery
good news
is
you’ve been given
a room
with
a view
where
you can
watch
the living hell
you’ve
created for others
but
the bad news
is
you’ll
feel their
pain

 

 

texas…

left out in the cold
your senator basks in sun
while he plays you pay
i’m betting he would have been
first to flee the alamo

pronouncement of death…

gather up the clouds
so we may darken the sky
another soul’s died
no one ever known to you
just another nameless face
but i implore you
to offer a simple prayer
that those loved can heal
