Words

Posted on November 18, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

The Bigot Within

Posted on November 11, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

There’s nothing like the openness of the bigot held within; that dictates to us what’s right or wrong before our thoughts begin. It’s always so high and mighty because we hold it so; that bigot tells us what we think, … Continue reading →

Words from another place

Posted on November 10, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

There is a way, a winding way from deepest fear to light of day. There is no way, there is no path; it leads away from comfort’s hearth. It is so clear we cannot see the way that takes us … Continue reading →

When Waters Rise

Posted on November 2, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

We’ll know their lies when waters rise before our eyes and our world dies. We’ll cry our woe but we should know ’twas our death blow; We’re our only foe.

Gaia’s Worth

Posted on October 30, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

The Final Joke

Posted on October 28, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

Life is simply death not done a race that’s run but never won. The toil of moving through each day thinking there’s no better way. To finally die is a release; at last a soul that’s left in peace. My … Continue reading →

End Of Days

Posted on October 25, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

I’ll tell you the truth, I will not lie; the planet’s fucked, we’re all gonna die. We’ve gone too far, there’s no reprieve our world now dies – no time to grieve. We didn’t listen when they spoke; we dismissed … Continue reading →

One foot on the throttle and one one the brake; how much more madness can this planet take? The whole world’s going at a breakneck pace; it’s not human kind it’s a human race. It’s all Helter Skelter as we … Continue reading →

Rebuilding Earth

Posted on October 20, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium
