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
for the [...]

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
that interpretation influences
how we think and
