Friendly Reciprocations

Every time I fell
you picked me up
with a well placed
smile or two

And when internal doubt
paralyzed my soul
you boosted my self esteem
as only you can do

Now you are the one
who is down and out

Tough times abound
inside your dark cyclone

So take my hand
and let me guide you out
on the reclamation path
you paved previously

Open Minded Kindness

Once you shed

all past pretense

and cast off wanton judgments

you will surely find

that the quality

of your human interactions

improves immeasurably

if you do allow

your core humility

a chance to shine

through the dense fog

of human pessimism

Cloud Burst

Every moment
of every day
from every corner
of humanity
millions of clicks
transmit pics
to the great cyber cloud
in the sky

So many

random memories
and vanity selfies
saturating
communal storage
to be retrieved
if our hand held brains
should ever fail

I pray someday
the trash bin Gods
mass delete them all

and we once again
have to rely solely

on human recollection

Deadly Methodology

Well dressed carnivores
running around
pining for boots on the ground
war again

Pushing well worn fear buttons
to activate the hate machine

Demonize faceless enemies

Falsify their ideology

Unleash high tech weaponry

dispensing hate
with laser like efficiency

but no matter the deadly device

the blood remains as red as it ever was

when we killed with arrows and spears

Though carnage was certainly

more hands on personal then

Dotted Lines

I am not krazy

I’m just ahead of the kurve

This bend in perception

I can clearly see

through the haze of uncertainty

leads us to a destination

the map labels destiny

but in reality

the road we all travel

is not paved in stone
