Proud American

Untrained angry men are playing dress up Cosplaying as military-clad Pinkertons Gassed up on patriotism and power Glad to push around anyone smaller These hired thugs turned loose On our neighbors asking for them To simply slacken the noose

Thoughts On Today

So let us sin So that freedom's grace may abound Watering the tree of liberty With the blood of patriots Wherever we put boots on the ground

I want to take my mom back to Slate Hollow - her momma's place; to visit fond memories and friendly ghosts

A new #poem, from me! I just read this last week at the KFTC Boozy Book Fair and Open Mic.

I'll be reading this and another piece that will be published next week at an open-mic at West Sixth Covington Haus THIS SATURDAY from 7 to 9.

I hope you give it a read, and then come listen to me and others read on Saturday. (And maybe you will share too?)
