Retired IT professional. Retired from being single, 60s, poet and thinker.
Anti-Fascist.
Collects vinyl yet unable to find the time to listen.
I am never the prize, just the tool,
Your forebears used me on flint
Fashioning axes and arrowheads.
Others used me to weigh down
Their nets, gathering eels and such.
Young boys flung me across rivers
Or at each other, mindlessly.
And now you expect me to speak
Of what I am worth? Nothing.

I served my country
In a uniform of blue
Honorably so.

Now, many years past,
I am at a #loss to know
If it was a waste.

The forces I fought,
As my forefathers had done,
Have taken control.

Was it all a waste
Of blood, guts, glory and life?
Someone answer me.

I woke this morning
To the #jarring news of late
Congress doesn't care.

Walking through forests
Leaves, #brittle with cold, crackle
As each step brings peace.

My mind slips away
From city problems, I breathe
For I am reborn.

I may follow you
I most probably will not
#Lead on, I will watch.

The weft has twisted
And #warped the sweater I weave.
Metaphor for life.

Spent too many days
Stressed about the little things
#Relax, enjoy life.

Repairing #damage
From a love gone very wrong
Takes time and new love.

It is your duty
Devote your time to study
Then #vote your conscience.

We are amazing
We might be less than #perfect
Yet we seize the day.

We have made it, love,
No longer are we #apart.
The future is ours.

It was never about the money,
The cash flowed in and out,
Like water in a flash flood.

It was never about the #business,
Just something to do while dieing,
Like breathing under water.

It was always about temptation,
To have something others could not,
And lord it over them.

In the well of #silence the cries of the downtrodden are never heard.

This bouquet is a love token, it will #wither yet my love will not.

The marks on her body were hidden by the #shroud, but everyone knew.
