searching for some holy grail
the boys inebriate their minds
high on crack, bravado, show
here they’ll leave their dough behind

results came out today
an ending or a start perhaps
a chorus before dawn . . .
but it’s starting, it’s starting to feel

smoggy skies, dust and dirt
forests turn to barren earth
clifftops fall into the sea
icebergs melt with each degree

here and now
same place as it ever was
same time as it ever was
is and ever shall be

life in the fast lane
work for the man
see how the mice run
the weekend’s the plan

seems I don’t need a phone call
a knock upon my door
now you know the water’s clear –
I’ll take you to the core

the enemy’s shadow throttles the sky
a look turns me old, I’m too young to die!
I scutter and know the sapping of veins
he swaggers, I stagger, vengeance his aim

Shadows, silence, starkness
a life so full of darkness –
why do people lives in caves?

such glow in this oasis!
how does your garden grow?
with nurture, love and patience
I reap the seeds I sow
