On Trudeau and the Freedom Convoy – A Poem by JP
Today the sun is outAnd the world’s no darker,It’s just the veil has liftedAnd the shelter once takenNo longer prevents youFrom knowing the darknessIs always at the endOf the warmth of the day.
Blood as Wine
The king still sits on golden throne
drinking our blood as wine;
he needn’t skippers to sail the ocean’s tides,
he needs our hearts and minds.
Apples
If I gaze at an apple
and smoke with a shaman
who plucks with bended knee
the apple red of famous mythology
Smoke Signals
Time cares not what the clock will say
of the foul pit of yesterdays,
because a truth strikes its chord
Relatively Big
They are very small things, the small plankton,
The atoms of oxygen, the words said

as the newspaper
and anchorman read
teleprompter like,
I Need You
I need you
because I need you,
not because
I need you,

Beneath the waves a gyre turns it’s gaze.Awake, at last, that sleeping giant is loosedonce more upon the world. Anarchy is the rulethat sets the center askew; the antichrist is surely near.The shooter, his rifle, is surely at hand;surely there’s some terrorist plan,surely the boogeyman has come to bearthose Freddy claws and leave us turningContinue reading “Found in Notes on phone”
The Ponzi and the Poor
I know that I usually post poetry, but as of yet I haven’t quite the words for the topic that I am about to tackle as least not in the form of a poem. Nevertheless, I do feel compelled to write. The year was 1776, the Declaration of Independence was signed, and a symbol ofContinue reading “The Ponzi and the Poor”
On a Possible Future
The beetle takes the last emerald
that’s jutting from the snow;
a nature more valuable
Bent and Broken
Neither mother, maiden, nor crowne
can morn more the passing of this nation
Guidance Systems
Divisions unite us:
The righteous verses all
who dare to dream on false idol
We
Since first we rose from ocean’s active mud,
since fins became the bending of legs,
since legs hadn’t yet the strength,
The Compass
My conscience is a needle’s point
that is thread through the days behind;
To Future Lands
I’ve heard the talk of proof that is puzzling you
On Loss
I wished to see your smile,
but got only pain the while—
Should I Compare You To a Winters Morn – Sonnet 18 Shakespeare Mirror
Should I compare you to a winters morn?
You are more bitter and more discontent
