Eternal Odds

While it’s an absolute truth
that all dogs go to heaven

Tis also not a guess

that all cats go too

While we sin based humans

are 50/50

at best

Charge of the Right Brigade

They ride
like a thundering cavalry
being expelled
from the depths of Hell

Flying out the the mist
of mythical history
the Lost Knights of yesterday
charge into the fray
for one last fight
in a desperate quest
to make things right

All the forces of Can’t

have assembled en masse

to push back the very existence
of such antiquated traditions
these courageous ghosts represent

Unrelenting winds erect a wall of resistance

on the proud banners from battles past

but the knights armed with only their convictions

repel the legions of entrenched negativity

and drive them into the sea

as trumpets sound the clarion call

for all those who were repressed previously

to enter the glorious realm of possibilities

Night Moves

On a canvas of twilight

the moon and stars dance

waltzing across the horizon

oblivious to the world below

Their eternal romance

glorifies the night

with sparkle dust

Can we do the same

and illuminate the darkness

with our own celestial glow?

An image of a beautiful full moon background

Natural Selection

The chances

of you and I
getting out
of this party
with our virtue still alive
is virtually an impossibility

The fragility
of the Sunday school morality
drilled into our fair heads
before we were ever acquainted
with physical temptation

As the years accumulate

and the implanted guilt dissipates

we realize finally

the futility

of constantly restraining

our natural urges

Earth Bound

Hard working earthworm

forever planted

on parched terra firma

The endless drought

having turned

invertebrate universe to dust

Gazes toward the sky

at the hanging gardens

packed with fertile soil

way beyond his reach

and sighs

Another taunting temptation

spreading mass frustration

for the citizens of worm nation

Spectrum Support

Everybody has faith
in something,,

Be it

God

Religion

Fate

Science

Humanism

Whatever you need
to muddle through..

There is no
absolutely pristine belief..

They all have flaws
replete with maddening inconsistencies..

Just like humanity..

Just like us..

So show a little respect..

Try a little tolerance
for all us fellow lost pilgrims
in search of truth
and the best path
to ever elusive happiness

The Good Patient

The patient man

I wanna be some day

grinds away daily

against the winds of adversity

with an inner resolve

fueled by self confidence

and belief in tomorrow

Knows in his heart
that sooner or later
the wheel will turn his way

Hold on and survive
until the rainbow arrives

This is the waiting game

we all need to play

String and Duct Tape

Things break
in this existence
of wear and tear

People snap

when tensions
become too much to bear

We do our best
to fix what we can

Replace broken parts

Patch up the holes

Not easy to do repairs

when spinning out of control

As we struggle to accept

we gotta work around

these stubborn defects

that define

flawed imperfections

Garden of Hedonism

Walk into the light

Follow the music trail

Join the party

Pour yourself a brew

or two

or three

Hook up
with an eager dance partner

or two

or three

Cancel your staid morality

Take your vice
wherever you can find it

Be the flawed creatures
we were made to be

Submit to the primal urges
that flow naturally
from your body

Come the foggy
morning after
confess your recycled sins
to the scraggly man
collecting plastic souls

Gargle residue guilt

and spit out

pointless regrets

Leave the absolution

to the boring saints

sitting home alone

every Saturday night

Truth Booster

I suffer from
a chronic case
of Conjecture Dysfunction

Symptoms include

Limp speculation

Incessant postulation

and hyper hypothetical consternation

The pondering condition
causes a self induced paralysis
from rampant over analysis

but this hesitancy

need not be fatal

just have to stimulate
my decision gland

and elevate

internal conversation

with the healing power

of doubt busting facts
