There isn’t a bed of roses,in these four walls, that I’m living in.And, there isn’t a lock to pick on the door.Just, outside, there is the road to nowhere;it has its curves, and four way stops.There are out dated signs, leading to me.As well as, a broken bridge.Inside, there is somebody in the mirror, looking … Continue reading Somebody: Brittney Fox

Ennui: Cassandra Kulay
The wind whips, through the still bare trees,and, I’m haunted, by a feeling of vague unease,not still winter, but, not yet spring,dark thoughts plague me, and, uncomfortable memories.Here, stands the facts of my life,unadorned, I am sad, I’m angry, I’m even bored;with comparing what was for what it has the potential to be.I guess, that’s … Continue reading Ennui: Cassandra Kulay
Human: Brittney Fox
When we were granted the gravity to this Earth;and the nurturing of Mother Nature’s expression.We were handed a place, in the grand kaleidoscopefor our chance at an evolutionary, galactic experience.We were granted our shot to stand on this stage, at this time.With the blessing from the magic of mercury,we get to take a stand, on … Continue reading Human: Brittney Fox
Gimme my Hot Cup of Tea: John Oross
All my lifeI’ve been homeless and alone, without a love of my own.What I have given away, trying to get her to look my way.There she is.She came from afar, left my heart and soul ajar.Then she walked away, touring about our world. I’ve kept her in my heart.Yes, right from the start. Gimme, gimme, … Continue reading Gimme my Hot Cup of Tea: John Oross
A Feverish Grin: James Adamson
To the Glory of GodTo Gwyneth, with Love Saved by a child cold and alone on the railroads tracksOr maybe I heard wrongIt’s probably because of Poulin ExterminatorsA hive of activity deep in the funk of existenceOr on my skinCaptured by a prejudice pure and simpleThe contempt of mothers waiting to drop another shoeCrying our … Continue reading A Feverish Grin: James Adamson
Dignified: Cassandra Kulay
You act as if you’re so dignified,looking down, on the common fool,So serious, in everything you do.But, comedy is important too.Laughter heals, and sometimes reveals,the truth, you think you’re so much above,everyone, but you can’t see, our common needs unite us;and, in them, we are one.Sometimes, we bow our heads,while you hold yours up high,you … Continue reading Dignified: Cassandra Kulay
Puppets: Robert St. Germain
We all have someone to answer to.And someone to tell us what to do.Some of us realize, well many never knew.The church and the government are part of the system that keeps us down.When I see people enslaved it makes my frown.We are all put in packages to make us comply.And most of us will … Continue reading Puppets: Robert St. Germain
Casualties of War: Robert St. Germain
This is a war, and they are fighting for control of our minds.It’s a war of ideals and it is never kind.The masters tell us what to feel and what to think.It’s our souls that get poured down the sink.The police of thoughts are on patrol.They say they are here to help, but they just … Continue reading Casualties of War: Robert St. Germain
Softly: Richard Edwards
Softly it rises into the sky,We wonder why?Gently the words fall from our lips To thy ear,It is a yearning of the heart,That the words say. It calls to thee,It makes thee awareOf your care Love is what you do,By the way you move,You put us into the groove, You are true,You love thee,For you … Continue reading Softly: Richard Edwards
Bilingualism: Marjolaine Brodeur
Fortunate am I to be bilingual for this has permitted me to watch a French-dubbed "Downtown Abbey" story which lately I have become addicted to. Though I would have preferred watching it in its original language I was pleased to touch base with a program that has touched my mind. Happy was I in the … Continue reading Bilingualism: Marjolaine Brodeur
