He asked for one thing in this life
Wisdom
He was graced with talent, dreams, ambition
But he asked for wisdom.
...
Face to the wind in bitter cold
Beards crusted with ice
Gray eyes steeled in fierce rebellion
No foreign blade to master

Welcome to Biotech International Conglomerate Industries.
We breed and manufacture humans.
From testicle to test tube,
We are involved in every step of the process—
...
The pen drives itself upon the paper
I, watching as the tale unfolds
Wonder from whence this wisdom comes
Of things not seen or heard
...
We had a friend who had
A house in the country
Away from the drudge of city life
We gathered, made the smoke and fume
...
Old man on the bed
Where do you go
When the lights are dark
And the nurse calls out
...
I weave the gold with clandestine fingers
In silken thread of head and heart
A skein of treasure lying on the floor
...
To be a serious poet
Is to continually face
The battering hand of rejection
No value placed on
...
Meeting of like minds
progeny of will compels
future undaunted
...
