Exploring vastness of character Skeletons of man with barren stares Choosing to look elsewhere Stripped naked Skin’s blanket procuring air fair I’ve wondered why shock waves fear nerve? My third eye clawing for some far off awning When sea yellowed sponge grows dry Murky old performers start ebbing And to where they hide While we’re mopping up crumbs To the screams of “who moved my cheese?” And will we find more? Lost in their maze with a nosebleed! They’ve clipped our nails down to the flesh Talisman lay flopping like a waterless fish Deafening drum, spitting profanity through my screen Tokens thrown from a 3rd world balcony In another theater, in another town… Propaganda cultures tied tongues Their curtain call pledges shadows elite Oil slick toxins in offshore retreats Remembering membranes of fiber, lodging close Calling life what it is Paths openly speak Christian names Allotting admission money, to well known places Sitting at a round table of trusted knights Horse’s armor immortalize frozen sighs There is a rock scratching at our windows Trying desperately to get in Question is, “Will We Leave It”? Traveling nomadic pavements, reaching enforcements Joining viaducts of the world In tomorrows face of death Memory searches daylight, waxing the hours Clocks burn alive Terms of endearment devour Commercial images, like an abducted child Sharing our city with recovering addicts Common sense no longer cries We disinfect our fear based profiteering With java greeting cards come alive |

(big angel hugs) Everytime I hear "Department of Homeland Security", I always say in my head, "What, don't make me laugh!". "Department of Homeland Stupidity" is more like it! LOL! (smiles) At least in my mind a so-called intelligence wouldn't be so intelligent if they're always hesitating to filter the news like skimed milk and be ashamed to give the whole unabridged story to the people, instead we're all just living many big lies, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lee, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

Lee, You are so well versed in language that I don't know if I understood the magnitude of this write. I had to read it very slowly to allow the images to fly at me like boulders. What I did understand left me in awe of how you brilliantly used your wording and imagery to leave me with swirling impressions. This is very powerful. Sadie |
