ALERT

Intelligence is an open wound, treat it with wisdom,
cunning is the by-product, may be schemed at random.
What is truly from the heart, the capacity for empathy
can be brutally squandered by condescending apathy.

CHERISHED

Should a person have merit
trophies won’t change it a bit
there are many that strive for it
decorations make them distinct
should you have a good instinct
you can feel, need not even think
gross glamour might need a shrink
bona fide distinctions must not blink.

IDENTITY

Infused into the future stretched beyond eternity
from the here and now, an illusion with a destiny
a beginning with end, meanwhile given a choice
to be a number, name, to have a proven identity
or not to be anything like you’re supposed to be.

HINDSIGHT

The answer came initially out of the blue
did not ask the question, not even to you.
It surfaced from the void totally by chance
I had to trace it back to envisioned stance.
A dream in which we are dancing in trance
euphoric in a sense, as delusions enhance.
The crop circle manifest, a sign clearly seen
has been from the beginning the force within.
The guiding light that discerns red from green
which is beyond the place where I have been.
To be in this World, yet of the mysteries within
I could hardly believe in what I have just seen.
