Kurt Philip Behm Poems

Stop trying to be clever,
and try to be smart

The coyote said
...

Old men making deals
the young taking bullets

Politicians to steal
...

With ten more miles of wire
my horse wants to turn back

There's dark clouds over the mountain
...

Poor in stock but rich in spirit,
my clock does bow and sway

In rags and tatters all unstitched,
...

Did you find the exact life you wished for,
do you have the money you craved

Did you find they were not the same at all
...

Like the hub of a wheel
reality turns

Each spoke a religion
...

Learning how to become yourself
the past and future grieve

Learning where the when begins
...

Man's inhumanity to man,
knows no country, religion, or race

Man's inhumanity to man,
...

You have to cross the perimeter,
for your border to expand

Stepping over the line,
...

No matter how much
you bandage a lie

The truth,
...
