Wandering Thoughts: John Oross

01/23/2021 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Their fates have already been sealed.Both houses have merged through money.The few threw down their Kings.So a few can rule instead.Paper will never win versus love.For this is not a game. I tried to give for free,Towards all who came to me.But that isn’t enough for them.My soul is what they want.To saddle me with … Continue reading Wandering Thoughts: John Oross

Where’s All the Love?: John Oross

11/11/2020 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

When it began;There’s no way of knowing.Everything seems to be going,WRONG! When will it end?There’s no way of knowing.Everything seems to still be going,WRONG! Where’s all the love?We need it now that the market’s down!We need some love!Where’s our food going to come from? The time is now;This is when the strong keep going.Even they … Continue reading Where’s All the Love?: John Oross

Truth’s We All Shall Own: John Oross

11/11/2020 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

As the trees bend and sway,A silent fear does take hold.You know what’s coming your way,His name uttered, within stories old. Judgement day, truths to be told,Ha has come at long last!As your defenses start to fold,His verdict shall come to pass. As you take your last breath,His scythe starts to come down!As you embrace … Continue reading Truth’s We All Shall Own: John Oross

Yes, Love. Without it we’re not whole: John Oross

04/18/2020 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Yes, When I get where I belong. Within her warm, loving, tender arms. I will shed many, many tears. To release both pain and joy. Yes, For I've been waiting many years. For her to enter my life. I have her still within my heart. This truth I simply can't hide. Yes, I've given away … Continue reading Yes, Love. Without it we’re not whole: John Oross

In Every Field: John Oross

11/15/2019 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Although poppies grow row on row, we sadly reap what in truth we sow. They are the dead; and time does fly. We tend to repeat; the dead don't lie. War is the absence of love and reason. No matter the time, place or season. The dead cry out, why must it repeat? We are … Continue reading In Every Field: John Oross

Try Again! By John Oross

Nothing’s Written By John Oross

05/10/201805/11/2018 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

It was a cold winter morning With nothing but white to see It was a time for reflection I had nothing except my creativity So armed with pen and paper I started to confront my destiny. Too often in life we ignore Those few who mean us well Many times we simply turn away Ending … Continue reading Nothing’s Written By John Oross
