Treasury               8/30/2018

There is no greater treasure

Than the human heart

The only thing you ever keep

By giving it away. 

A river we cross

By choice

Rather than a feeling

That we follow. 

A gift from God

That only grows with risk

More valuable with time

And weathered patina. 

A decision

We have made

With wisdom and perspective

Long awaited

Through storm and strife. 

Always understood

And always forgiven

The priceless treasure

Hidden in the mud.

Wasted on the world

Full of avarice and grasping

Debt slaves to a promise

Always elusive

And dangled in our eyes. 

Guard it

Even as you share it

A gift of great value

Uncorrupted and pure. 

For from the heart

All good flows outward

And endless river

Cold, clear, and clean..

Lock it away

Lest it be corrupted

A refuge in the storm

And a tower

In trial. 

This world

Takes everything

But in the end

The heart matters more. 

Strengthened by hardship

And burnished with patience

The long awaited grace

Full and beautiful. 

For the road

Of Least resistance

Surely leads to death

But a persistent climb

Provides contented peace.

So share it wisely

And let it not be wasted

Even when it hurts

And even when you lose.

Deep inside

And perfectly milled

The everlasting self

Perfect, immortal, and free.

Some have tried reason

But reasoning only works

With the good

And the reasonable. 

And some have argued

For decades on end

All of it wasted

On the demented

And the dumb. 

God sees you lying

And he also sees

You laughing

Those who belittle the dead

And the savagely murdered. 

In a world of words

One man is a lightning rod

All because he told the truth

And dared to question. 

But it is not him

Who they hate

For it is, what he defends

That they loathe. 

Burning inside out

With jealous rage

They hate the innocent

And the good. 

Ugly on the inside

And ugly on the outside

They hate beauty

And grace. 

There are no need for words

When we meet

For we all know well

The who, what, and why. 

Everything already said

And everything already tried

We stand at the ready

Eyes wide open.

It did not happen overnight

As we were all taught

To control our emotions

The long and winding path

Through memory and tears. 

There is nothing like reality

And there is nothing like the truth

Played out every day

Beyond the control 

Of liars. 

They can talk all day

And make their assertions

But words are not actions

And the world

Speaks for itself. 

In countless interactions

And in numberless occasions

We who are aware

Saw everything

We need to know. 

The mockers

Have had their say

And the parasitic elite

Well they have had

Their centuries.

Long ago usurping

Every institution

No matter how noble

And inspired. 

The future is here

And you can watch it

On another continent

Democratic theft

Legalized disarmament 

Murder and death.

Woe to him

Who laughs

And dances

Their time almost up

Revelation now

Generation zero. 

Seasonings

Seasonings                                                8/23/2018

Some days are enough

To break your heart

The senseless stupidity of fools

And talking heads. 

Endlessly speculating

And endlessly spewing

Nothing but lies

And putrid propaganda. 

Of what price fame

And piles of money?

To lie and slander

Twist and accuse.

As if they believe

That what is omitted

Never happened

The daily carnage

Everywhere you look. 

Ambitious, empty

Amoral and evil

Anything for power

And privilege. 

Above the law

That they use against others

Shamelessly accusing

The innocent and good. 

They have murdered many

And they drink the blood of youth

More evil than we guess

And rotten to the core. 

Everything you see

Is exactly as planned

The disenfranchisement of millions

In sick and twisted hands.

It is not an accident

That the world is what it is

Long ago corrupted

By murder and deceit. 

The few over the many

Controlling all the money

And monopolizing the news

Laughing the debt slaves

But you and me. 

Kept in a cage

From cradle to grave

In debt to the banksters

And led by the nose. 

The light of the world

Like a light bulb in the darkness

Attracting insects from afar

And blotting out the sun. 

See them now

By foot, plane, and boat

Clamoring over each other

To rape, pillage, and steal. 

Jumping over fences

And running up the beaches

An invasion of hordes

To destroy and kill. 

Woe to them

Who have traded it away

Light for darkness

And good for evil.
