James B. Earley Poems

A life.....chock-full.....and few regrets
.....Untold.........blessings.....mounting...
At last...I learned......to live........again
.....Twenty....some years.....and counting
...

Author's Note:
'Here we are seven months into his second term and nothing has changed. Its been obvious they are doing everything they can to make him fail. And I hope, I hope, and I say this seriously, it's based on substance and not the fact that he's an African American.'
~Harry Reid, U.S. Senate Majority Leader - 12 August 2013

'Ego's Will'...A perception of Man's inhumanity to Man. Penned late evening 12 March 2003, just prior to 20 March 2003 Iraq invasion by U S Forces.

Not..in my name
...

Which road....which fork
Which path I take
Not knowing why
This turn I make
...

The path of life
A complex way
No beacons there
...No footprints say
...

Uncontrollable...........Putin
...

Come along with me
To a place I know
Where tumbleweeds
And sagebrush grow
...

........'Hope'

...............That fragile thread
...

They frown
....They smile
They sit awhile
And soon the day
...

Fiscal Conservatism
Blatantly destroying
Social consciousness
While piously drawing
