The poems grew tired of themselves
They knew they had been written many times before
They were tired of their own repetition-
But when they insisted they no longer be written
...
I TRIED TO REMEMBER THE SADNESS OF ALL THE POEMS I HAD NOT WRITTEN
I tried to remember the sadness
Of all the poems
...
It happens every day
Yesterday it happened worse than most days
The planes bombed a bread line in Syria
What can one say about the screams the broken limbs the blood everywhere
...
The songs are more than the poems
As Music more than words-
As Music with words
Music itself-
...
I WAS WAITING FOR THE DARKNESS TO TELL ME
I was waiting for the Darkness to tell me
Its time to disappear,
...
I have been wrong so many times in my life
That if I could open a business and get paid for being wrong
I would be rich by now-
But Money is what I have been most wrong about,
...
SADNESS CALLS ANXIETY ALSO
Sadness calls Anxiety also
The day has not yet really begun
...
You are the dream come true
After two - thousand years of exile
The dream of courage and miracle
Against all odds
...
THE RACE TO GREATNESS
I am still in it
I am still on my feet
...
