'The Last Question'
Is WAR
Man's response to death?
(that surly thing that makes
no sense to mortals?)
Is it like the small boy
Who screams at thunder
to prove he's not afraid?
A "Death isn't scary
so let's do it up big?"
Attitude?
And what of Mothers
The givers...the bearers of Life?
Reluctant to feed
Their just grown babes
Into its ugly jaws?
Yet stand beside their boys
Hand over heart
Pledging
The world into oblivion...

'Unshed'
Why can't I cry?
Doesn't betrayal make tears?
Doesn't pain given through years
add up to screams?
I want to scream but who will care?
Just absorbed by rancid air...
I don't have the energy it would take
I need it now to be a fake...

'The Hood of Death'
Now I lay me
Down into
A body bag
What did I do?
Walked towards home
And right into
A bullet, maybe
Meant for you...
Just before I closed
my eyes,
I heard my Mother's
Shrieking cries...

"Wandering and Wondering"
In the darkness of the shadows
Where the truest spirit lives
All alone and wondering
What's real.
Taking time to watch and wait
To hear the bells oblivion
As the shadows lengthen
Don't join me for it is too late
You can't undo the horrid hate
Or squelch the tide
that turns and then
Takes you back, again, again
And wonders how this came to be
All alone...Just time and me.
