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

Closer To Dead Is Closer To Free
Closer to dead
Is closer to free
Truth no longer
Hides from me
In the corner of my eye
There I see
Shadows approaching slowly
I do not flee

Charred Organic Postcards
Books disregard
Limits of time
Space and Censorship
They are
The final charred
Organic postcards
Until the fiery
Complete end

Evolved Not Granted
Kindness and empathy exist
Without us inventing them
Traits evolved
Not granted
Lessons learned
Over millenniums
Not centuries

The Who The What You Love
In pain
Or distress
Or in the end
You don’t remember
The cause of them
At the end of it all
You recall
The who
The what
You love

Fate Is Not My Future
The opposite of pain
Is acknowledgement of pain
The path to control
Is the acknowledgement of none
Fate’s not my future
It is what I’ve done

Love Knows Your Name
Love knows your name
You wear it on your sleeve
Like a pin or bumper sticker
Signifying
What you can conceive
Imbued with
All you believe

This Life’s All a Wheel
Eyes on the prize
Hands on the wheel
Earn what I can
Rest of it I’ll steal
All comes around again
This life’s all a wheel

Choose To Recluse
I’m tired
Of entertainments
I’m fatigued
By breaking news
I’m fragile
From pronouncements
Of what
I stand to loose
I choose
To recluse
