Futility
When the dance becomes as slow
as the winter night is long
The singer's voice deepens a rift
as softness replaces the strong
A long trial with little hope
to skirt the edge of our mistake
The fissure opens widen maw
of empty sentiment partake
No longer a singer nor dance
the endeavor sorely mismatched
Hollow words echo the chasm
Raging hunger drives the mind
finding dissension in cold calm
Before the abyss of resonant loss
a singer sees no hope to carry on
The rift turned fissure welled
widened to chasm and into abyss
A drawn out dance has ended
the song a whisper easily missed.

Politically Incorrect: (an opinionated editorial box)
I am not one of those people whowears politcal views on their sleeves. I have no bumperstickers on my car against FUR or about Environmental issues. I have come to the horrible conclusion that if being PRO-LIFE involved checking a box on your taxes that increased your taxes by $200.00 to be given to the unwanted, abused, neglected, drug-addict born children of this country then
NO ONE would be PRO-LIFE. Its all about the friggin money - u r not fooling anyone

Laugh and learn the language of my heart
Hold and know the wisdom in my soul
                  My cup is not full
         A chalice stands:
             its gold rim shining brightly
                                         promising
             but it is only half-full
                 Sometimes it is the wine of humanity
                 Sometimes the nectar of solace
                 Sometimes the ale of anguish
                 Sometimes bare water
        Always half-full
        with a lifetime of experience
                                        poised at the time
                                        awaiting to overflow
        Living is like the chalice:
        All you are is poured in
                 Sometimes it is your own
                 Sometimes a drink of another
                 Sometimes strong or weak
                 but always half-full
