Jeff Rushton Poems

Power has little to do with
The control over other men
Little to do with the strength of men
Little to do with the liquidity in hand
...

Competition is the life of Some
The refusal to do anything but win
The anger, aggression, oppression, repression, depression and social
Degradation is their primary source of energetic completion
...

All living, breathing, doing seeing, feeling, and appealing things on earth
Have a purpose in and for their existence
EVERYTHING
Finding yours is not in others
...

Friends, lovers, acquaintances and others come and go
Trust, respect, honor and true love remain steadfast, unmoving,
unshaken...home
All in one, all in many, divided/given evenly
...

Death
The burial
Doom, gloom, ending
A hatred to God
...

Sadistic, we wait for our next serving.
Served on a plate, never what we want.
Never what we need, aimlessly willing to concede.
Pain is the pleasure, the abyss of sorrow and pity we pay ourselves.
...
