mind yoga

arthritic knuckle
foreshadows encroaching age.
angst for limber mind.

give me liberty or…

28 February 2016 by Jason

a desperate people
can be led by wolves
and they don’t even need
sheep’s clothing.

the great empire
buckles at its knees
and the death rattle
is mistaken for
a rallying cry.

the dog’s bark is loudest
when it has no bite.

as liberty’s light dims
and justice peeks from
behind gossamer blindfold
the blind lead the desperate
to the cliff of lemmings.

one can hope that a few
will clear the cobwebs
that the moneyed have spun
and see clearly that
democracy cannot be run
by mongols and the hun.

and however dark this night
it inches closer to the dawn
and souls must bare witness
and flicker the flame of hope
for now is the time
for honest men to speak
and break the bully’s pulpit
for the devil wears no clothes
and his backbone is weak.

liberty is the trunk
upon which democracy cannot break.
but the hacking at the root
is all evil
and there’s not enough
wood in those hacked limbs
to warm the cold nights
if the money wins
and the brave give up the fight.

a man once said:
great things come from the small.
i was once small.

i have bent your ear.
deafened you with misery.
you never recoiled.

limber timber

25 February 2016 by Jason

a bright sky lies bare.
bereft of flitting feathers.
but limbs are singing.

bloody hopeful

24 February 2016 by Jason

a mountain to climb.
the jagged rocks of despair.
bloodied but hopeful.

On Poetry

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.
