Generations Behind Me

In my past are those people That stood ground Like no other. Generations of people Providing me the ability To either make the same mistakes Or to tread a different path. Sometimes I walked in their shoes Ignoring all of the nudging That goes with making Huge and sometimes irreversible Mistakes. Genealogy will give you...

What If I Told You

What if I said to you That you are no better Than anyone on this planet; That no one person Has a greater value Than another?   What if I said to you The hooker on the street corner Is your sister? Or that the love of your life Is sat in a bar And...

That’s What Faith Can Do

It can make a mother believe In her dying son It can make a man with no legs Believe he can run. It will give a woman the courage To try one more time It will have a criminal admit He did the crime. Make a man interrupt a wedding Because he wants to be...

Just A Tear

I'm just a tear Rolling down her cheek Lonely and searching For an end to your torment Of this woman That never hurt Anyone.   There are many of me Both in front and behind me. She wipes me away Like I mean nothing To her.   Yet she believes In her heart You mean...

Oppositional Defiance

He taps on the table As if that is supposed to speed me up Or make me worry I'm taking to long To think about his stupid question That truly doesn't deserve a response. Humans think because they put up a sign It is some kind of authority Or contains some kind of authority Over...
