Bank
Brick building
Holding money
Power wielded
In fortress
Solemnness of church
False importance of clergy
No risk for them
Love the worship
God like power
Empowering or disempowering
Dream breakers
Dream makers

Unseen Bully
Sound of the wind
An unseen bully
Pushing trees violently
Stripping them nude

Truth Slap
When truth slaps
Attention captured
Thunder claps
Soul's explosive mixture
What once made sense
Blended and garbled
No longer a defense
Losing marbles
Unsteady as gaze
Change in gravity
Reality ablaze
Exposes internal cavity

West of Jacksonville
West of Jacksonville on I-72 there he was,
In woody cover near the on ramp.
Peering out from the edge at midday,
Cautious coyotee studying the world.
Traffic speeding past,
Goes unnoticed.
Wildness in our midst,
Just an observation away.
Wild parts within,
On the fringe of consciousness.
Lurking for opportunities,
To surface and hunt.
Places of passion repressed,
Eruption of love expressed.
Restraints removed,
What's dead resurrected.
Fully alive,
Fringes of me welcomed.
Integration of being,
Washed in love and flooded with peace.

Topsy-Turvey
World is upside down,
What's wrong is right,
What's right is wrong,
Orwellian (1984 and Animal Farm).
Lie becomes truth,
Lawlessness becomes law,
Ignorance becomes knowledge,
Gilliam (movie Brazil).
Guarantee no risk,
Safety no freedom,
Persecute all who oppose,
Bradburian (Fahrenheit 451).
Civilized become animals,
Criminals becomes elite,
Violence becomes peace,
Miller and Kennedy (movie Mad Max).

Lurks
Through the cracks darkness creeps
Daily it lurks and peeps
Death lurks in its lair
Stench in the air
Seal the cracks
No more broken back
Let it rot in its den
Write its obituary in pen
Twinge of pain to let go
Smash it with truthful blow
Grief and suffering surge
Sound the mournful dirge
Love's calm sea settles
You've discover your tough metal
Scarred and bruised
Strengthened and renewed

Loosen that Grip
Why the clenched hands
Oh son of man
All that anger held in fist
Such a bitter laundry list
What will it take to loosen grip
Driven by own mental tormentor's whip
Memories burnt into soul
Distorted into hunched up troll
Feeding the victim thar become
Seared mind to overcome
Pain is a harsh master
Relief if loosen grip faster
