Blast the reality into heavenly sky Leaving values of religious nature Amplify your discipline, values Stand up for what’s right, never Provide others a reason to blasphemy Heating their anger as opposing views Enter the fray, aggression rises, Many loose tempers for they’re blinded Yet, they still discuss, so change is possible.

His mahogany cello is tightly embraced, He cradles the bow as its wolf tones Create an echo into the roiling waves, tones That crest and dip into an abyss forced
To struggle with the undertow To rise and be heard. Its metronomes Have a tempo that moves feelings, homes For emotions that crawl out of the flow
Of notes composed and diligently Played to tell a story of heartache that’s As old as time, yet, it’s everlasting plots, Themes still apply today. So play, soar like a butterfly
From the cello’s strings, emote The chaos within, share its thrill As you play the emotions of the audience that fill Your mind’s eye even if they’re absent. So gloat
In your supremacy in affecting People’s empathy, humanity Through simple notes that fly Into the breeze with ease and humility.

Warriors dressed in sheeps’ clothing Fight, as warriors are wont to fight, Let your voices rise, Soar like a kite, Cross oceans of fright, conquering
Hearts with words of peace, Empathy, compassion for humanity That has fallen astray, accepting fraticide As a way of life, unquestioningly
Some follow like the sheep they are, While others use every medium, From comedy, literature, criticism, Painting, sculpting, all in their way fare
And pair their visions of peace Fighting, unnoticed by many, But those affected by their kindly Actions have only gratitude that’ll fleece
Despair into an abyss where peace Reigns in warrior stance in pride That freedom fighters are framed in place By the courts of the people who don’t hide.

As the leaves fall singing a last Hoora to sunny days, warm breezes, Replaced with a plethora of colors that freezes On the ground in an array of colors that blast
The verdant greens into yellowish Greens, oranges, and burnished reds That crinkle, crackle beneath our feet as heads Turn to watch the scene divided by roads of hardship
Where the greens have faded While the other paints a palette of reds That burn beauty Within as it delves and heads Into the sunset with its divided colors shaded
By God’s paintbrush that never Disappoints those who appreciate The divinity in the balance, never late, Always just as it equalizes reality of the creator.

We are at the cusp of diurnal times When fall falls, leaves flee, and flown Away into fleeting cooling breezes that crown The tree tops in a bare coat of branches
And dying leaves whose love story With the tree is as tragic as thee. They try to stay connected with a fee Of dried stems that can only cry
When the leaves finally fall And their story ends in crackles, Crunches of animals stepping on the backs Of mummified soil with a tapestry full
Of golden, green, orange hues Turning pallid the longer the stay Before their love, weary of loss, play The fools as they’re swept into pues
And cues to be taken and turned Into paper for schools. The poor leave’s Story of love is rejuvenated with heaves A sigh of true connection with child
Whose doodles, words sweep The pain of loss into sweeter Reverence to new connections, beautifier Of emotions that are expressed and deep.

We’re being bombarded, daily, By subliminal messages, hourly, Whispers of drugs, violence, alcoholics’ enduced hazes, minutely, Incorporated in ALL media, compulsively.
Resistance is Futile …
Words, sounds, images coalesce Into an indoctrinated presence That’s insidious in its convergence Into your mind, creating a blinding trace
For behaviors that are incongruent With ‘our’ Ideals of humanity, that are esculent By mediocrity of addiction becoming permanent, As our dependence skyrockets into exponent …
‘Resitance is Futile’ …
As our struggles persist, our Vision, imagination, purveyor Of our strength of cohesion, flutter Into a bud that flourishes in power.
As ‘Resistance is Futile’,
Our obstacles remain tangible, Yet, clearly, unattainable. The need to strive to be corrigible Is embedded in our DNA, for hope is always tenable.
Thus: ‘Resitance is (Not) Futile.’

Poet, poem, poetry policing a world in poppery Overcoming chaos through order, design, Entertaining critically, changing constantly, Traversing cultures, emotions in a single jump, Running freely as long as the ink is writing Yet, you feel unheard, for the world is in woe.
