Jeff Rushton Poems

Hunger, strain, abuse to body and brain,
The need for love, the rape and molestation, unheard of.
The anguish, deceit and plans that you could never meet.
Sorrow for sin, loss of spirit and energetic grin.
...

Sitting in the drivers side is one singing, enjoying life.
A car goes by.
This one a parent, deaf to current peers, children screaming, yelling, hoping for a jeer.
A car goes by.
...

Children absorb all that is set, or along their path.
Youth question how things work, why the future comes to pass.
Teens ignore all that is good, wholesome, and taught in a class.
Adults explore and find out where to go.
...

Picaso, Monet, Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Botticelli, and da Vinci
Each piece of art, worth years of work
The focus of their art, Beauty on Earth
The value of their work is well known
...

Thought is broken into many levels and grades.
All men begin on, or near, the same point.
The only difference is the efficiency and where it stems from.
The 'smart, ' are efficient in multiple worldly ways.
...

Life is an endless array of musical play
In accord or with complete disregard for a single cord
We can play with great harmony and audible splendidity
We can play with power and meaning, a symphony in being
...

Light begins from within
Light begins with a belief
Light begins when we see without sight
Light is simply electricity mixed with sincerity
...
