Who breaks the law?
illegals

Who makes the law?
Legals came here,

killed the native buffalo food
chained a people’s body and mind
dropped atomic bombs on 2 large cities

and we still make the law.

Evening tides,
a dark seascape,
on a moonless night.

A foot in time,
one still behind,
not here, not there.

Eat your heart out.
If no light pours through,
do it again.

‘Better times ’round da corner.’

That’s what they say in church. They say,
‘It’s better upstairs and worse downstairs.
Pray to go up, sin to go down’.

I say, ‘Tell me what to do on this floor now,
not yesterday or tomorrow. I’ll ask for guidance,
when I am in those places’.

The Nature of Nature.

We plant and grow apples.
Bugs eat the apples.
We spray the fruit and kill the bugs.
The bugs evolve and eat the sprayed fruit.
We use stronger spray to kill the bugs.

We eat the apples.

Death creeps up on us.
We open the door and there it is,
smiling.

No time left.  Now what?
NO TIME LEFT!

Every strand of a web is bound by every other.

All beings, human and not, are connected as life.

He said do it with hard pounding.

Man squeezes through the womb, looks around,
throws up his arms and shouts,

“It’s all mine”.

A child today may be an adult killed by a killer tomorrow.

Will your child be killer killed or a killed killer?

The instructor hadn’t appeared.

Someone said, ‘When the student is ready, the teacher will appear’.

I said, ‘Does that mean, when I’m preening in the mirror I can say,
‘Thank you for appearing’?

“Look here”, she says. “This proves his love for me.

They say love is measured in grams and carats.
I measure my love in ounces at the juice bar.

Love that lasts forever?
Any pawn shop will dispel that myth.

the Left says, ‘Read this book’.

the Right says, ‘Read this book’.

How many will say, ‘Read all books and make up your own mind’?

A Capitalist System hinges on production, capital and purchasers.
This is how it works.

A and B are in conflict. X markets weapons to both combatants.
The conflict spreads to C, D and E.
X increases production to supply all parties.
X shareholders increase investment.
X owners expand facilities.
X blue and white collars earn more and spend more.

Everybody is happy.     Right?

When I look in the mirror, reflected back is the me I am in words.

When our forebears viewed their reflected images before words,
what were their thoughts?

the Mirror

People in power want to keep it.
Doesn’t matter the position or system.

Some are community-minded.
Others are Me-mine-I minded.

Each may become the other.

Look around and see Me-mine-I in the mirror.

There’s that Man-child slipping away every now and then,
for more brick and mortar,

just to be sure, just in case, just because
some habits are hard to break.
