Messages From God (Part Five)
only kindergarten kids
argue over which color is best...
grow up!
they're all crayons,
and they all came out
of the same box!

The Next Great War....
the next great war we'll face
will be on our own soil...
when the poor of America stand up,
and take back what's been stolen from them!

Old Heretic!
just an old heretic,
with
...a

........an axe,
....a pot of coffee,
and a smile!
tell me what
....you need, brother!

A Child's Books
if you take away
a child's books,
you take away his spirit's
ability to dream!
if you close his mind,
you close the door
to his future!

Between Me And Me!
when i meet a stranger
i subconsciously remind myself...
the only distance between
me and him/or her...
is the distance between
me and me!

What We Discover...
what we discover...
is not another world,
or a better world...
but the universe within!
and in so doing,
make this world
a better place!

Snail Crossing.... (Part Four)
the mind that reads, is open... the mind that is open, dares to touch... the mind that touches, feels.... the mind that feels, dissolves....

Truth And Justice.... (Part Four)
we do not have the right as
a 'free country' to mold and
shape the world by military
force for our own economic
gain...
... WE JUST DO NOT!

The Sharing Of Breath!
death will be...
the best poem i ever write.
quiet, simple,
full of intimate dissolving...
as if reason identified
in the sharing of breath!

Small Points Of Victory
those are not scars and wrinkles
on my face...
they are mile markers,
paragraphs,
and small points of victory
grounded in nameless defeats!
