Truth

How do you know that a thing is true?
By how many people agree with you.
Do folks object to how your truth is bent?
You're in the wrong environment.

Life, Liberty And The Pursuit Of Happiness

Policy should be shaped by universals
Universals should not be shaped by policy
Ability is peculiar to no group
Nobody knows this better than the able.

The sky is an encrypted silver table
set with candles and ghostly bangles;
weaving mischief all night long
winds, gaunt predators,
straddle the courtyard.

Mirth

Mirth and flexability, flexability and mirth
these are the keys to a happy life:
small care how far your face falls
if you can raise it again with a laugh.

Sonnets in English-rhyme-poor tongue?
Better to labor in the French, if any.
Thanks, I'll stick with the mother one-
Better to suffer too few than too many.

There has been a rash of infections
from tattoo needles:
Did you hear? people are afraid.
If true, it will be the first time
an epidemic cured an epidemic.

Life

It's like a roller coaster ride-
You dare yourself to do it
Feeling a little foolish, true,
But taking the trouble, usually conclude
It the right thing to do.

Never confuse
what is moral to believe
with what is useful.
You will find yourself
believing things you never
thought you could believe
and dis-believing others.

Delusion is good
often useful
and not to be impugned
as long as it's shared
in community
by many and all the
neighbors agree.
So, so important is it-
environment.
