The Informed - A New Poem
Once upon a time,
People sought to be informed.
Information was provided,
You see, this was just the norm.
But things began to change
And a different picture’s painted.
As the pools of information
One day became tainted.
It became something of a chore,
Actively seeking the truth.
And so many gave up the fight,
Figuring there was no use.
For it was only getting harder
Telling the fact...

unknowablewoman:
Tumblr is hiring professional editors to bring some order to the sprawling blog network. But those prose pros are far outnumbered by a volunteer workforce of “tag editors”—and users’ confusion of the two is leaving bad feelings all around.
More than 1,700 Tumblr users have expressed unhappiness with Alexander Ryking, its top politics tag editor, after he...

Break down (the shadow season) - A New Poem
On the verge…
Both lost and found.
Emotions surge…
Now breaking down.
Feel the urge…
There’s no control.
Shadows merge,
And purge the soul!
There on the edge
Of rhyme and reason,
The poet found
The shadow season.
So cold and dark,
And yet alluring.
Offering lies
That seem enduring.
And there he was
Touched by these flames
Rewriting rules
He thought could not...

The Fallen Faerie's Song - A New Poem
The wishful stand watching
With bated breaths drawn,
All lost to the reasons
As death takes the dawn.
Tomorrow’s children see
The ruins we’ve left,
Their future forsaken
Victims of our theft.
We stole their tomorrow,
Left nothing behind
Except for this dream
In rapid decline!
The fallen faerie sings
An anthem so pure,
That hope finds a way
To truly endure…
The...

In the end... - A New Poem
In the end, we all run,
Though it does us no good,
The executioner waits
Peering out from his hood.
His cold gaze locks upon us
Stealing our breath…
In the end, we all run,
But you can’t escape death!
The clock’s hands only turn
A finite number of times
Before the gears run down
And that final bell chimes.
When the cold settles in
With its barbaric grasp,
Do you know where...

WWJD II : When Atheists Attack! - A New Poem
What would Jesus do,
With this atheist crew?
Demand they be slain,
For not praising his name?
Call upon his flock,
Asking that they be shot?
Could it be true…
Is that what he’d do?
Hear the screams and the wails
As your dogmas collapse!
Desperate rage rolling out
When atheists attack!
Where to turn, who to call,
For a way to refute
All the biblical truths
That these haters...

Recently I listened to the Sunscreen Song again released under Baz Lurhman, which was based on a graduation speech that had been around the internet for a while in the 90’s. It got me thinking, and then well, writing my own bit of advice to the public. And while I always liked the song before, now upon rehearing it, I recognize some problematic and privileged statements being made.
So I put...

Cynic's Eyes - A New Poem
The child awoke seeing the world Through the weathered cynic’s eyes. Found the sunset’s just a backdrop, And his heroes peddling lies. He found the villains wearing white; All of the scales unfairly tipped; Where the silver lining’s plug in, And all the tabled truths are flipped. Found the systems were constructed With cold, cruel oppressive themes. He found hope to be a concept That...
