Doug Straight Poems

The drive I feel that tempts me out
To join the world and look about
It pulls me forth, it draws me nigh
To what it is that makes me high
...

In the beginning was the word, Great
All of a sudden I learned of hate
Disgust, anxiety, worry and fear
Emotions now because of what I hear
...

Don’t Be Your Head

Don’t be your head, your head will lie
Its one concern, to live or die
...
