You have the choice to be benevolent
in any way you wish.
The power to build character;
To lift yourself out
of the pit of an invented misery.
Have a heart,
feed the hungry.
To pick up plastic
drifting to ocean shores.
Clothe children
in chilling winter months.
Despite everything or everyone-
no one has the power to stop you!
Why would they?

A Question For the Ages
Writers need be
the creators of new cliche's.
Our common grounds,
adverse,
we've heard each one bathe in cynicism.
They're a subtle melody
of melancholy in the ear.
Society fails to change.
Dead philosophers, scholars,
and poets who convey truth.
They conveyed it best.
Forgotten,
a million years behind,
messages,
hints to heart,
truth mattered.
To each of them a purpose,
and what of us?
Suffering from insomnia:
How're we to be...
A gleam of light-
from 3 A.M. darkness?
