People Watching 3
Take a seat in a coffee bar
Take a bench in the open air,
People watching is a sport
You can practise anywhere.
They come in all shapes and sizes.
They come in all shades and hues.
Some walk with quiet majesty
Some shuffle with the blues.
Every one has a story,
Every one has a past,
Some of them walk slowly
Some of them walk fast,
Some know where they're going
Some amble aimlessly along,
The majesty of an aria
The lightness of song.
Such a pleasant way to
Fill a period of leisure,
Such a great way to spend
Hours of endless pleasure.
People watching is rewarding
With all the variety there to see
And its good to remember
All People watching is free.

The New Man Life
You have been raised with Jesus Christ,
So, seek things that are from above;
Rather than as earthly enticed,
Of the pleasures on earth thereof.
Christ sits on the right hand of God,
Your affection be on Heaven;
Not upon earth that should you laud,
Think of what the Lord has given.
You have died and life is hidden,
And is revived in a new life;
Within Jesus Christ as written;
Guarding you from toils and strife.
Put on your new self to appear,
When Christ comes in His full glory;
So, honor Him as you revere,
As judgment comes from the jury

Up For Renewal
Time crawls
Pacing the floors manically
Triple locking the doors
But still feeling insecure
Despite my dirty laundry
Wearing me
Wanting someone to adore me
Instead of the reverse
Sour grapes
I curse
Feeling the slime
Entrenched in skin
No matter the snarky answer
To the question of being
The birds
Will still be singing
In the morning.
TV screen in my head
To keep me entertained
Now disconnected
For non payment
Like the geraniums
I tended to with care
Stopped listening
To the woe of despair.
Terrified to open the blinds
For the sun's rays
May burn me to a crisp
If only I had a pistol
In my grip
Bullets honoring your name
This wicked game of madness
Can be silenced
Then I could be restored
A clean slate
For the taking
Once the evil departed
And his spirit imparted
Renewal.
P 11 1 25

Surreptitious Glance
You desire more
Than a tin man
I deserve better
Than once n in a while
Happenstance
Equal partners
Not on the agenda
But the truth
Burrows deeper underground
Seeking an untenable forgiveness
But a man taketh
Only given the shaft
Whether you're a totem
Or monument
One last dance
Before retiring my tap shoes.
Obsessive up to my neck
The stench
Maladorus
Despite the hazmat suit
As you continually
Draw the wrong conclusions
Beyond handsome and cute
Based on innuendo gathered
From dubious types
Terrified to be reviled
For mediocrity
Before leaving them
To stave off
The stigma
As damaged also rans
Woefully out of style.
Mixed messages
Sent from your end
Of a universe
Such a lack of faith
In a state
That could be sensational
But remained
Coldly observational
Stymied in assumptions.
Given a stern warning
From indistinguishable voices
Heard in Dolby Atoms
Taunting my conscience
A dalliance with despair
Long before
I exited the stage on cue.
Never intended
To play a fool's errand
By sacrificing
Your nervous system
To be second fiddle
By staring into
Charlatan eyes
Promising the moon
But forgoing the stars
As he stoked
Insatiable passions
With available concubines
While your uniqueness
Slowly wilted
Like a rose
Chosen to serenade you
But destiny
Refused to provide
The final clue.
The genuine article
Or a shooting star
That fell
Into darkness
Once it began to sparkle
Will be debated
By one mind
For years to come
Contrary to your belief
Fate can be undone.
P 9 25 25.

Replica
Flailing in the Autumn sky
Searching for a safe place
To catch a pure breath
Despite the sulphurous air
Unaware where this purgatorial soul
To land
Yet in tenous war
For compassion
Becoming extinct
Furthering the lie
Love unconditional
Hearts barely holding on
Fighting a flat line
Replicas biding time
Fixing for dopamine
Witnessing cognitive decline.
Someone out there
Not stricken with malaise
I keep repeating
Like a mantra
That provides
More anxiety
Not relief
In this haze of THC
But no one biting
Except the hand that feeds.
But only insanity
Believes honor
Can be found
On a battlefield
As I'm beginning to question
The need for
Wearing symbolic shields
That may protect
But keep me dead in spirit
Cause I'm unwilling
To fully commit
To his will
Besides mammon.
Cant you see
The horror in my eyes?
Staring into the
Paucity of souls
Scrolling on
Thousand dollar phones
Hearing faintly
The sounds of a marching band
Playing the prodigal son
To come home soon
To an imaginary
Half time show
Where there once was a crowd.
P 10 31 25

High School Society II
I have been to High School.
I have been nobody's fool.
But now I am everybody's tool.
Don't know what to do; they
are all together.
Here they are talking at the table
I can't join, now I sitting here
feeling annoyed. Because they are
chattering on and on; about how
and why.
I used to get along with anti*social people
but they are anti*social so I can't be social
I get. Used to wander the halls, because they
stood tall and I was falling; and nobody
catches on.
looking good.
Feeling good.
Easy to feel down, because they are around;
hand on the locker and kissing her.
Say they broke up; got back together.
I have never been to High School before.
