When a poets ink dries
When a Poets ink Dries In a quiet room where silence dwells, Lived a humble poet with stories to tell. Once he flowed with words, a river so wide,

There’s A Seat Waiting For You At Tables You Haven’t Even Seen Yet
Introduction Life is full of unexpected twists, hidden opportunities, and possibilities we may not even realize are on the horizon. It's easy to get caught up in our day-to-day routines, sometimes believing that our future is just more of the same. But here's a refreshing truth: there are "tables" waiting for you, places where your presence is wanted, and opportunities designed just for you. You may not see them now, but they're there - awaiting the moment when you're ready to claim your seat.

What is a Friend?
What is a Friend? In the tapestry of life, threads interlace, A bond beyond words, a warm embrace. A friend is a mirror, reflecting the soul, In laughter and sorrow, they make us whole.

Election Subversion Redux
What a summer for sequels 2024 was! Sadly, for American Christians who abandoned Christ's prescribed pacifism, and poverty vows, for Trump's vitriol, and vituperations, it's been more of a "Joker: Folie à Deux" summer. Once dubbed "America's Mayor" for his happenstance proximity to 9/11, Rudy Giuliani now goes by "Trump's latest, and greatest, mark." The lies he bellowed on TV, lies he dared not whisper under oath, cost Rudy two law licenses. But that's not all it cost him: In addition to a jersey once owned by Joe DiMaggio, and a Mercedes-Benz once owned by Lauren Bacall, a judge ordered Rudy to forfeit his NYC co-op to two election workers he repeatedly defamed. While making baseless claims that 2020's presidential election was stolen, rigged, or otherwise compromised, Giuliani falsely accused Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss of miscounting ballots, concealing ballots, and tampering with voting machines. A flood of death threats followed his calumny. Freeman and Moss sued. A Washington jury awarded them $146-148 million.

When the World Burns
When the world burns I will lay in your bed of roses-feel the lavender of your skin cool the heat of my wounds. And you shall turn your cheek to the comfort of my pulsing heart, where we then embrace the view of this Devine tragedy called life.

City Sound Preferences
Do the sirens of ambulances, fire trucks, and cop cars disturb you? This morning, none of those are singing. Just the alarm of a car huffing like it's being raped.
