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...

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...
