Stored then supplied
Information
On which we relied
Yet the unknown
Still survived
And blind risks
Multiplied

What Is Regretted
What is regretted
Should be grasped
And forgotten
Good life is abetted
By short memory
Of mistakes begotten
Rumination
Leads to
Rotten

June Summer Night Sounds
Singing birds &
A musical ice cream truck
Sound like they’re conversing
On a warm summer night
Discussing the events of the day

Those Corporeal Blooded Beasts
This is for those corporeal blooded beasts
Carrying their consciousness
Like a badge
A scar
A curse
A revelation
Blinded
Sensorially

Don’t Wear Your Damage As Blame
Don’t wear your damage
As blame
But as a life lived
Too close to the sun
Exhibit your pain like art
Let no two joys be the same

The Sum
Things I was right about
Few
Things I wrong about about
Some
How much in the end does it matter?
To that question I am numb

Everyone Thinks
Everyone thinks
The other side stinks
That they feel entitled
To that not earned
Like Nero
We fiddle
Don’t move to the middle
Whilst we burn

Be Human
Smile
Lose ground
Until
The end
Feel joy
It goes around
Without us
My friend
Be human
Do not fear
Feel love
Do not pretend

Need Is The Driver
For the world to be off the rails
It would have to have had them
Need is the driver
There is no Lego playset
Just selection

The Kindness Engine
Kindness is the creation of clarity
Life is never empty of pain
Value empathy not insularity
The path to balance writ plain
