Tales of the Ratrunner

They call me the Ratrunner,
I’ve been here for quite a while now,
In this sewer in New York City,
It’s full of rats here,
They’re dirty, nasty, stingy rats,
A few of them probably have diseases,
These rats, they are very hated by humankind,
I am one of them.
In fact, I’m the biggest, baddest rat here,
Or so I would like to [...]

Seven Things I Want

I want a butterfly, mother,
A beautiful one that follows me everywhere,
When I go to the park, it’ll fly after me and protect me from all the bad things in the woods,
I want a bumblebee, mother,
A nice little one that will follow me everywhere,
When I go to the garden, it’ll fly after me and protect me [...]

Rappin’ for Hope

Rap isn’t gibberish, it’s a form of art,
Poetry of the streets, they call it,
It’s a way of expressing oneself,
Rap’s not about guns or girls,
Flying bullets or gangsters with mullet cuts,
It’s about letting your emotions flow,
Pouring your heart into the beats and lyrics,
Letting the music be your voice,
Rap’s about making a choice between life and death,
It’s [...]

The Road to Red-bridge II

There’s no such thing as Red-bridge, you fools.
You’ve all just been tricked by the evil witch who wishes you ill,
I, for one, do not believe in such a place,
Even if you walk for ages, you still won’t get there!
It’s just ridiculous, to believe in such raucousness,
You old people are like little children,
Believing every single thing [...]

The Road to Red-bridge

There’s a road somewhere,
A tiny road that leads to Red-bridge,
On it are many travelers, carrying many belongings,
They’re headed to Red-Bridge,
The wind is gentle on this road,
The sun is warm and the skies are at rest,
The travelers are quite content,
And when it begins to darken,
And all seems to be put into the world of shadows,
The moon [...]

Forgotten Memories

I still Remember that sorrowful Monday…
The last words we Shared,
I regarded them with a light attitude
As if we’d see each other the Next Day,
Though Knowing -
That might be the Last Time
I stand in your Presence.
Will I start to forget You as I continue Moving On?
Will someone else Replace your spot?
The returning Memories give me Hope.
Yet [...]

A World in Peril

Intelligence sources have confirmed that Russia has built a self-activating doomsday device that cannot be destroyed. America and her allies live in constant fear of a preemptive strike from the USSR, and Russia is constantly beleaguered by the American B-52 bombers all situated 200 miles within striking distance of their targets (Dirks). Compute this all, [...]

Dreamtime

Dreamtime, the word, or should I say, the sentiment that it carries, still resonates in me each time it comes to mind, like a gust of wind chimes tinkling through a forlorn evening, or the celestial sound of a flute whistling across the lavender sky. It brings to mind a mystical period in time of [...]

Desire On The High Seas

If given a thousand lifetimes,
I would choose to spend them all with you,
Even after the many millenniums have passed,
I’d still be waiting at the water’s edge,
Where the seemingly green grass is crying through twilight.
As the wind howls ceaselessly through the night…
My heart whispers the unforgotten memories…Of you and me,
Now turning into a love story.
I wish [...]

Sacrifices

Throwing Everything Away
Making Everything You Own Take Off Like A Blue Jay
To Force Everything You Cherish And Love Fade Forever
Just Like A Bird And It’s Fallen Feather
Killing Your Body And Your Soul
Just So Others Can Have Things In Their Bowl
A Decision That Comes Deep From The Heart
That Tears Everything You Had And Dreamed Of Apart
