What if you went to bed
Slept 9 hours
Opened your eyes
And saw total darkness
...

Stay away from hatred
She is mean and bitter
And doesn't look at herself
In the mirror.
...

...

Go on...take my hand
Take it...like this...
Now pull yourself up
Pull yourself together...
...

Climate change
Is just that...
A change
From one spectrum
...

No
Don't send me to hell
Seriously…
Not a good idea
...

Just because
You can blindly look at yourself
In the mirror...
Doesn't mean
...

Be Conscious...Be Aware....Today And For Tomorrow

That's just it...
You 'think' you are so smart, so wise
...

THANKSGIVING HOPE

I give thanks for thee
I give thanks for me
...

I set the table today
And saw your face
Starving
Staring up from the plate
...

Don't do anything half measured
Just don't...
Rip it apart with your teeth
Set it on fire with your eyes
...

They are new-
These vampire eyes of mine…
Smoky brilliance
Wrapped in a layer of crimson,
...

There are no saints here
Only angels of twilight
Sitting around drunk
Tripping on unpunished sins
...
