An ongoing compilation of my verse through the years, sometimes accompanied by stories related to an individual piece.

Choose
Death is Certainty. Life is Risk.
Death is Emptiness. Life is Full.
Death is Fearfulness. Life is Courage.
Death is Coming. Live Now!
There will be no hereafter.
The virtue is laughter
Emanating from the mouths of the Free.
Choose every Moment
While the choosing is yours.
The world expands before you;
Earth and Sky, Wind and Water,
Birds above and Worms below,
And you here now as witness
To Wonders beyond your Imagination.
Every Moment is a Choice
And every Choice is cumulative.
You perpetually program your Mind
For every Consequence that follows.
Your kindness towards an injured turtle today,
Will be the Compassion you demonstrate
Towards a fallen man tomorrow.
There are no guarantees,
Only options and outcomes.
You can stand on your feet,
Or fall to your knees.
You can beg from the world
Or mold it like clay.
You get to choose, Every Day.
Choose every Moment
And Live by your Choice.
Stand for your Self.
Raise up your Voice.
You get only one Chance
To make your mark on Eternity,
So Fight like hell to Live Your Life Free.

Sidewalk Daisy
Going alone is dangerous
And could be seen as invective
Independent thought angers us
So says the collective
They want us all to think alike
And don't you dare ask why
The minions of the new Third Reich
You must either conform or die
Goose steps along the sidewalk
Long march into the sea
Duct taped and afraid to talk
Find the courage to break free
When will you have had enough?
Are you so bold to interrupt?
Little flower hang in tough
Sidewalk Daisy do stand up!
The conformists are all cowards
Co-dependent and suicidal
They want to play your cards
Because they fear you as their rival
You know they'll go to any length
To make your Titanic sink
But reason is your greatest strength
If you've got the nerve to think
The people in the background
May not know what to do
But if you magnify your focus
Perhaps they'll follow you
When will you have had enough?
Do you dare to interrupt?
Little flower grow up tough
Sidewalk Daisy do stand up!
And could be seen as invective
Independent thought angers us
So says the collective
They want us all to think alike
And don't you dare ask why
The minions of the new Third Reich
You must either conform or die
Goose steps along the sidewalk
Long march into the sea
Duct taped and afraid to talk
Find the courage to break free
When will you have had enough?
Are you so bold to interrupt?
Little flower hang in tough
Sidewalk Daisy do stand up!
The conformists are all cowards
Co-dependent and suicidal
They want to play your cards
Because they fear you as their rival
You know they'll go to any length
To make your Titanic sink
But reason is your greatest strength
If you've got the nerve to think
The people in the background
May not know what to do
But if you magnify your focus
Perhaps they'll follow you
When will you have had enough?
Do you dare to interrupt?
Little flower grow up tough
Sidewalk Daisy do stand up!

Family in a walking condom
Family in a walking condom
Keep your who-ha clean
Never mind looking dum dum
You need not steam your bean
Family wrapped in plastic
They dare not think it through
They'd gargle with Fantastik
If the late news told them to
Grandma went to see them
They freaked and got all tense
Turned mole hill into problem
Cause her family is quite dense
Facts don't care about feelings
The podcast guy said so
But fear will send you reeling
If you evade instead of know
Forget masks and social distance
There are plenty other ways to die
So any virtue signaling nuisance
Just mind your bunk and fly
Family in a walking condom
Keep your who-ha clean
You're already looking dum dum
Cause you didn't steam your bean
Keep your who-ha clean
Never mind looking dum dum
You need not steam your bean
Family wrapped in plastic
They dare not think it through
They'd gargle with Fantastik
If the late news told them to
Grandma went to see them
They freaked and got all tense
Turned mole hill into problem
Cause her family is quite dense
Facts don't care about feelings
The podcast guy said so
But fear will send you reeling
If you evade instead of know
Forget masks and social distance
There are plenty other ways to die
So any virtue signaling nuisance
Just mind your bunk and fly
Family in a walking condom
Keep your who-ha clean
You're already looking dum dum
Cause you didn't steam your bean
