Joseph PARASCANDALO Biography

I pump my psyche with loads of hope
It gets an immediate high as were it dope
But then when the rush finally subsides
Reality sets in and I ask: why even try?
...

The spiral wave that un-coils through the galaxy that is space
Infinite was, is and to be our time of place
Earth’s inhabitants being part of this cosmic ride
A fact science has relentlessly try to hide
...

Cascading, spiraling outward from this vision of One
Seeking understanding of what it is I am to become
Each day passes living under a mighty Sun
No closer to an answer, then when I had begun
...

Expunging the pain that rails the soul
Imposed by demons of theocracy’s creation
To spur into damnation wistful thoughts by free minds
Toward reward of flesh given to life senses
...

My mind anchored in the soil of reality
Yearns for its uprooting from this domain
Broad and wide the search to the answer
Presence of its promise by witness to others
...
