Child

Let us hark back
To yond better days
Of small pleasures, and little joys
Smiles, brought by simple toys
Sans responsibility, and the
Countless whims
Of burdened life
When juvenile folly
Had no price, Save the
Cuts and bruises
Of child’s play, and
Perhaps a tear, or two
On rainy days
Where are are those days

At the sound of thunder

We mistake, for ourselves
In blurred, mirror, reflections
We are distracted from truth
And fall asleep, in false peace.

An Ode To Brotherhood

Brother
Flesh of my flesh
Of my same blood
Who shares my name
Dear part of my soul
Brother
Take my hand
And believe, we
Can fly, and

Brother of mine
Truth, we will find
As we stand
Together, and
Strength, in
Our unity
So as we came to be
We will leave, greater.
