Hidden Motives
September 23, 2025
Some teach you that you have enemies
That people who don’t know you
Are working to sabotage all your dreams.
Isn’t it much more likely that
You are the source of all your conflicts?
Uncharted
September 22, 2025
Choppy seas and deep tremors disrupt
Our calm steady outlook
Internally boiling
Rising to the surface
Tsunami warning
Ingress
September 21, 2025
Tides turn every day, following the moon
The forces that surge ahead
Eventually, predictably reverse course
Every wave is different
Many not suitable for riders
Kite Festival Fun
September 18, 2025
People and dogs enjoy the kite festival in Long Beach, Washington each year. The event is well organized and highly creative. Worth a visit.
Align With Elegance
September 18, 2025
Timeless truth survives collective madness
Refined good taste abandons consumption
Stripping away the needless layers of greed
Leaving behind vain glories of excess
To reveal graceful details once overlooked
Debt Ceiling
September 16, 2025
When we look up we see the gaudy chandelier
The tacky merchandise for sale
Reminiscent of eve of the French Revolution
If you cast your gaze downward
It’s clear that this foundation built on debt
Is a total illusion
Rendered Powerless
September 15, 2025
When time takes over the game
Ideas created for the sake of image
Postures assumed for looks
Turn out to be useless
In the face of tumultuous change
Mortgage Banking
September 7, 2025
Americans tell strangers within the first few minutes
What they paid for the house in which they live
What the rate is on their loan from the bank
Concluding with how much they think it’s worth now
This establishes the anchor to which they tie their ship
The ignorance and willful blindness is astounding
It perfectly explains how the country went broke
Cloudy Motives
August 31, 2025
Unlived lives reflect collective loss of integrity
Attached to anchors of vain spectacle
Teathered to social norms never examined
Days of drudgery tie beliefs to a story
That repeats itself to embrace the bondage
Conjunction with Shadow
August 29, 2025
Does your shadow hide in the basement
Of the church where you try to be a saint?
Has it been lurking around commitments
Showing boldly everything you ain’t?
