The shore is shrouded
In mist All quiet now Just the cat and This traveler Venture into the Dim morning Trees that line the road Lean in to Wish me safe journey Up the gravel drive Through sleeping villages Winding around churches Steepled on hills Over bridges that span salt marsh And river Though the sun has risen The world is grey Until fog burns off I drive back to Highway asphalt and Tall buildings Workaday life Leave behind this Cluster of flannel clad souls Who cut wood Make cheese Interpret past lives Part of me lingers behind In the mist The river Until I return

The beauty of her
Pale defenseless But not ruined Though many tried To destroy her innocence She said He beat me because He knew I wouldn't tell He would kick me Me and the dog Others attacked and Did their best to Corrupt this child Now a child with a child Who wants to save herself For the sake of her baby Her beauty remains No one was able To destroy it She is trying now Asking for help Trying to live For her child If not for herself unless it's going to change something
Dont keep talking I don't need another analysis Of what went wrong Of what votes are Still coming in Because nothing will change The worst has happened We laughed Comedians made fortunes Made their names on it We are not laughing now We are crying in the night Children are afraid For their brown friends Fun is over it is real here for real And those of us Older and more jaded Say we have seen it before Maybe not as crass and vulgar But just as unbelievable So I say Just stop talking Unless you can change something |
