all is vanity
sayth the preacher
as he looks at the sky
and imagines himself

IT'S CALLED 'SEEING THE LIGHT'

PROPHETIC
sorry to be
always right
about the
terrible things
sorry to be
always wrong
in thinking I'm
always right
oh good and bad
relative as they are
throb in each of our
common happenings
sorry my tongue
isn't multiple enough to tell it

BEING IS ETHICAL
do the crime and pass the buck
and all the day your dick they'll suck
but own up and except your blame
it's through the mud they'll drag your name
they are our fellow creatures
with whom we share our common features
Oneness some state of grace all can share
if we weren't such bastards in getting there
so our choices smudge our unique reality
for we lack the One's totality
when in righteousness we feel strong
our outcomes show we've done it wrong
in forging our fates we all share the blame
in facing our reckonings we all share the shame

FAUST'S ERROR
I—we all stay in this moment
just a moment longer—
oh how easy to ruin the instant
and turn a heaven to a hell

JUST A THOUGHT AGAINST SELF-SABOTAGE
that for which you wish
may not ever be yours to have…
but will that stop you from realizing
what right and good is yours?

TRITE TRUTHS
no denying we're in these calamitous times together
some in bitter denial
others awake to it and wishing they weren't...
but hell
nothing will really be different in the world
we either extend our hand and help another
or we all go down to ignominious deaths...
why after centuries on this earth
must this still be said?
and why do each of us in our own ways
do such thorough jobs in the opposite direction?
no denying we're in this together
and no denying we're the only reason
we find it so hard to get out of it...
