An American Mantra
Love is for Doves.
Look.
Power makes others cower.
Greed is what you need.
More Money for your Honey,
more toys for your boyz,
a big dinner for the winner,
shota rummy for your tummy,
line up [...]

while worryin’ ’bout the score and
sayin’ you don’t mind, but

Bacon and eggs: a day’s work for the chicken… a lifetime investment for the pig.”
“I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down to us. Pigs treat us as equals.”
~Winston Churchill
Meditation on the Damned
To whom do pigs pray,
stacked in their crowded lonely cages,
eating, defecating, waiting

Where do we go
when the light dims
and the last sigh has faded?
Where you were
is silence,
and a void that still holds
your empty shape.
And the [...]

We don’t create our own reality, but
we do create our
own interpretation of
reality, and

how we think and
