02-20-18 Stand And Speak

Speak out against hate
There is no place for it here

Stand up against aggression
There is no need for it here

Speak up against bigotry
There is no platform for it here

Stand out against evil
There is no home for it here

02-19-18 Freezer Burn

Fizzle fry another way
That guy tried to say goodbye
Whatever they said was a lie
Next time try not to cry

02-18-18 Romantic Light

Winter willows weep
Sweeping the tides
Moonlight rides
On starlight shines

Kissing in the sunlight
Drink dripping honey
Straight on the rocks
Sipping a cold drink dry

Mystery in your eyes
Beauty lies in your mind
Touch my imagination
Reach out beyond romance

02-17-18 Without Wings

Take a leap of faith and fly
Sing a song of fire in the sky
Stretch your arms out wide
Open your heart and glide

02-16-18 Twenty Third Street Strut

Catching up
On all those things
That I never have
Time to do

Walking across town
Watching the crowd
Checking out fashion
Trends on the edge

Madison Square Park
Kids on the playground
Men in business suits
On line at Shake Shack

Hawks in the trees
Cool breezes blow
Would you like to know
What this neighborhood has seen

02-15-18 Natural Symphonies

Raindrops like drum beats
Banging down on the roof
In rhythm with the universe
To the sounds of life evolving

02-14-18 Hearts

Golden hearts shine
Bleeding hearts cry
Candy hearts sweet
Broken hearts defeated

Lonely hearts suffer
Beautiful hearts glow
Evil hearts poisoned
Magic hearts dazzle

Open hearts love
Cold hearts whither
Stolen hearts pine
Sacred hearts divine

02-13-18 Hope For Change

Thirteen days behind
Left out in the cold snow
Jealous of your lifestyle
Hoping for a change

We can sit on the shoreline
Talking about the old times
Before the tidal waves came
To wash it all away

Or we can pick up our chin
Stand up straight and smile
Turn the darkness to light
Change sadness into love

02-12-18 Treasure Of The Lost Ages

Mystery artifacts
Hidden away safely
For a thousand years
Buried under a tree
In an old battlefield
On a secret island

When volcanoes roar
And earthquakes rumble
The ground will open up
To reveal lost treasures
Manifesting the powers
Of universal energies

02-11-18 Messages In The Sandbox

We still speak
Quite frequently
Only now we whisper
In quieter tones

Spin and spell
Kiss and tell
Sweet revenge
Stonehenge

02-10-18 Open Pages

Not enough time

To say everything 

So write it all down 

Show the world 

What's deep inside 

Your beautiful heart 

02-09-18 Leap Of Faith

You might as well
Take that risk
Jump off that cliff

Live or die
Earth or sky
Crash or fly

02-08-18 You Need A Break

Don't be afraid
To take a vacation
Far way from here
Where you can be free

02-07-18 Everyone Is Evil

Everyone is evil
Let the story be told
They'll screw you all day
Until your body is cold

Everyone is wicked
Inside their frozen hearts
You start off losing
Before the race even starts

Everyone is evil
Though they seem good
Deep down they are monsters
Walking through the neighborhood

Everyone is wicked
Inside their selfish brain
You must escape this nighmare
Before they kill again

02-06-18 Stormy City Song

Dash across Fifth Avenue
Snowflakes falling faster
A symphony of winter chill
Blowing through the streets

02-05-18 Flu Bug Fever

Choking on thick green mucus
Shivering sweat hot cold mess
Nightmares are awake in bed
Painful sore throat swallow sting
Fire inside burning out of control
Too sick to stand up on two feet
Knocked out down for the count

02-04-18 To Be Free Or Not To Be

Bow to your master
Obey the rule of law
Serve your dear leader

Fight for your freedom
Stand up against oppression
Speak out against evil

02-03-18 Regrets In The Rear View Mirror

Must've lost track of time
Should've checked my messages
Didn't pay attention to the details
Couldn't stop the ax from falling

02-02-18 The Cure

being alive
is a
medical condition
for which
the only
known cure
is death

being dead

medical condition

the only
known cure
is life

02-01-18 The End Of This Road

Robotic intelligence out of control
Synthetic food brings slow destruction
Fire in the mountains of California
Summer of doom coming too soon

Pollution in the air and in the sea
Radioactive fish for dinner tonight
Oil spills killing our oceans always
This is the end of the road
