Free Range Poetry—feral, self-taught, and hunting truth on its own terms.
Sharing my poem Second Thoughts - written earlier this year; finally ready to leave home.
A meditation on borders, faith, and the weight of being asked to "declare" yourself.
Some questions demand more than answers.

Not all opinions are equal.
Tolerance doesn’t mean handing out free chairs to bigotry dressed as “debate.”

When my son announced he was joining the Marines, I wrote this...
It began in grief, but settled into something quieter—
love that doesn’t hold on, but waits.

Trump isn’t a conservative.
Conservatives defend institutions and the Constitution—they conserve. Trump tears down whatever he can’t control, attacks courts and the press, balloons the deficit, and thrives on chaos.
That’s not conservatism. It’s populism with an authoritarian streak.

So sad all I. seem to write now a days are political pieces. But since I write what I'm feeling, here you go.

I am not especially happy about writing so many political poems lately - but since it is what is on my mind, it's what I write about.

Today's poem is Doctrine of Dust.
For anyone who's ever watched faith turn into ritual, and ritual turn into silence.

New flash, there are only 195 nations on Earth (and 1 is Vatican city, and one is Palestine) - maybe that's why he won't say with who, I mean, I won't call him a lying sack of orange shit. But you can.
