I have a cancer of the spirit,That’s bending my spine.I want instant gratification,Because my thoughts are selfish.And my being is prideful. It grieves my heart,That my generation’s faith has faltered.How can we remain righteous,When the evil capitalists,Have made gluttony too … Continue reading A Man of Character
Help Me, Help You I have to blame others for my shortcomings, because if those who loved me had tried harder, I wouldn’t have these issues. If those who tried to help me, had succeeded, there’d be no regrets. If … Continue reading People Who Need People Poems

I’m afraid to lose myself in unfamiliar places,to be another one, of those desolate faces. I’m scared of getting lost, of being isolated,and disconnected from those I love.

Corruption is greed;temptation is free. And I can’t resist it,it appeals to me. But I have to say white lies,to cover my sin. And resort to virtue signalling,if I care to win. Publicans can’t resist bribery,when it’s offered for free! … Continue reading Virtue Signal
