An Armistice Day Prayer

Posted on November 12, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

I bow my head to brave men who died I bow my head to families who cried I scorn the fools who sent them there, the cross of an unjust war to bear. The fools who stood behind the lie … Continue reading →

Just a Thought

Posted on October 15, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Go

Posted on September 29, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Those dogs of war

Posted on August 16, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Hiroshima

Posted on August 6, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Not long ago but lost in time; this world saw a foul war crime. A city filled with innocent folk felt the lash of tyranny’s yolk. Muscles flexed, the whole world saw a brand new weapon made for war. Amerika, … Continue reading →

Forgiveness

Posted on August 5, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Peace is all I crave

Posted on July 17, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

There was so much I could not do; each problem solved another grew. The weight of worlds upon my head; some days I’d think I should be dead. ‘Twas then I saw a single star and heard its music from … Continue reading →

The Red Earth

Posted on July 7, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

I once won a battle that someone else lost; always in life we must count up the cost. With battle lines drawn and swords at the ready, and the mastery of holding the wild horses steady, we thunder across plains … Continue reading →

Violence

Posted on May 8, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Is fighting ever valid, if you’re fight is a just cause? Is killing ever justified when done in righteous wars? Is the end ever worth the cost if gained by an evil means? These questions are in my head when … Continue reading →

Aloneness

Posted on April 20, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Aloneness is a state of mind, a space where we can sometimes find a meaning to what our heart knows; the reason that the river flows.

A Path

Posted on February 7, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Sometimes in life I lose it, that path I used to know and no matter what I do in life I cannot feel the flow. Then it’s time to sit a while and simply let life be and maybe, there … Continue reading →

They’re at it again

Posted on January 3, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

They tell me Trump’s gone mad again; he’s threatened us one and all. He’s determined his is the biggest, so all others must be quite small. It’s challenged Donnie’s ego; another nutbag’s got a nuke. and challenged Donnie’s manhood (the … Continue reading →

To that man I bow my head; through all the words that I have read ‘tis Leunig who has shone a light on all things that I know are right. ‘Tis Leunig who with every Ode leads me down one … Continue reading →

So many Buddhas

Posted on July 17, 2017 by a foolhardy florilegium

So many Buddhas we had known but through their wisdom have we grown? So many souls misunderstood; imprisoned for “societies good”. Hopefully, one day, we can learn why some only crawl while others fly. Some minds don’t understand our rules, … Continue reading →
