Away with Words

Poetry and prose. I'm trying.

Democrats depend on stupidity and dependency in order to get elected.

Republicans depend on stupidity and fear in order to get elected.

Taxing your way out of debt makes about as much sense as coughing your way out of lung cancer.

Yesterday

I loved you so much yesterday;
Looking at the most beautiful choice I’ve made,
Holding your hand so that it would never escape,
Kissing you, needing no other reason to live,
Speaking your name, my love, my oxygen,
Making love as though I was starving,
Holding you as you slept, protecting my life.
I loved you so much today;
And did it all over again.

Television, radio, magazines, newspapers, blogs, Facebook, Twitter, etc.; we’re drowning in idiots and no one knows how to tread water, let alone swim.

  • "Knock knock..."
  • "Who's there?"
  • "Intelligent Occupy Wall Street Protester."
  • "Intelligent Occupy Wall Street Protester who?"
  • "Exactly."

Intellectual property is usually neither.

Living is Russian Roulette with six very slow bullets.

Disarmed

We’re born into a world of weapons;
Dramatic eyes and barbed tongues,
And no one’s aware that they’re both victim and killer.
We’ve disarmed the world;
This love is a spark, a fire, a supernova,
And no one’s aware that they’re losing their fight.

Our government hates our freedom.  The terrorists just hate our government.

begin, end, repeat

we’re always strangers when it starts
when arrows pierce our waiting hearts
we played our roles upon the stage
and thus this love belies our age
our whole is greater than its parts

we’re always strangers once it ends
these bodies held together friends
we loved as much as strangers could
and lived as much as lovers should
without regrets our love transcends
