As I am prone to do, I will revisit my early writing, much of which being responsive to contemporary social, political Human conditions and contributing factors.
The following two poems written during the 2007 period of Human history yet sadly, echo truer to the present:
A World View
By my picture tube I explore the world
To see humanities existence – life unfurled
Many faces – each an existence to behold
Each a challenge – with a story to be told
From the Sudan – lives impoverished and poor
To the richness of Las Vegas – selfish money the lure
As the world revolves - new life evolves
But the goals and direction a mystery to solve
From its beginning’s - source yet to be known
Plotting to a future with new seeds being sown
But viewing the human condition
And the mess it is in
To do so - amounts to a mortal sin.
Post Millennium
Through all societies does permeate
The scorn and hate
That seems their fate
Seducing men with weapons to congregate
To demonstrate
With passions to obliterate
Against the united state
Its politic and magistrate
Whose duality doth infuriate
For an unjust justice to promulgate
With monies gain to masturbate
Capitalist minds that dominate
A planned course to insolate
Society’s poor who attempt to immigrate
Imprisoned behind locked gate
Behind caged walls to eliminate
From eyes seeing demonstrate
Though the messages conveyed speak to the darkness of this time, never will I let the Sun not Shine:
Laughter for Joy
Echoes of a past
To fuel the Soul
To future’s uncertainty
Vision lacking a goal
Laughter in the searching
For want of a better way
Hoping that tomorrow
Will be that day
With strength’s veneer
Passion made the fuel
A path that is unclear
Highs and lows at duel
Master to a destiny
Slave to its pain
The Sun rises shining
Even with the rain
Laughter for joy
To pave a way
To bright new beginnings
A fuller life made
