 -- Poetry -- 

Well, it is time to share some of our original published poetry. The first will be an excerpt of Towards Understanding and the 2nd will be excerpted from our 2nd book of poetry - Rhythm and Rhyme

 Love Of A Many Face

Love of a many face, 

I shy from your disgrace.

Love of a many hill,

I won't let go of my will.

Tumbling, falling

Just tired of stallingl

Can't let it fade away,

Yet won't allow myself to beg.

My heart means so much more.

Yes, I step harder... than before.

Why jump blinded, headfirst

Into the never ending thirst?

Slowly, I watch and sigh.

Silently I smother my cries.

Trying to hold onto - what - I don't know.

But never, no never, let it show.

My eyes see danger up ahead.

Threatening to leave my heart stone dead.

Tonight, I caress my greatest fear. 

To love you always, and hold you near.

Towards Understanding

 

 Living Disease

There are too many children

Walking the dirty streets

Too many children 

With this living disease

Where are the heroes?

They've succumbed to cement.

Where are the parents?

they're trying to pay the rent. 

When TV's baby-sit

And computers consume the rest...

Glued to cells and berries and pods

And one more list to do.

This use of knowledge 

Is dumbing down our world.

A lack of life skills

Leaves lives in a whirl.

Compliance to violence

Shaking hands admit defeat

Why don't we stand up

To this living disease?
