Unfettered
“The difference between a demand and a request is apparent to everyone.” A drunk once said this and I hold it to my heart. I can not be bullied or swindled into a corner; neither will I allow you to put a rope around my neck like a wayward calf. I obey because it works...

Long time, no post. Sick, broke, busy, trying to cope.
So I have a book being released tomorrow - Dark's Tale hits the shelves. Frankly, I'm so furious over this healthcare crap that I can't summon up the faintest excitement about it. Sad, you know?
Now, why would I possibly be upset over this...

It's not time to pop that bottle of champagne and toast to the passage of health care reform just yet. There is at least one element of the proposal that needs fixing, regardless of how the House votes, and it must happen a.s.a.p.
In his pep talk to the House today, President Obama kept stressing...

Revelations
And I, Sherrie, had a new freedom and a new happiness for the first freedom and the first happiness were passed away. And there were no more tears. This is how it should be and for the most part this is how it is. Hell’s gates hang broken on their hinges and I walk free...

Two Powers
The river and the bridge; one force swift and roiling the other stolid and stoic, the first carries me away and the other carries me over. For the love of liquid, current and life I have slipped in to the water and washed; my life abandoned. For love of upright...

When we were young and in love and tempted the existential fires of freedom, you proffered me a possibility. (Oh, you know who you were! Do not deny it!) Choose, you said. Choose the happy secure span of a mediocre artist destined as dust for oblivion, or choose to sweat an anonymous life, that...

Tough message to Holocaust deniers
You are a disgrace to your countries and your communities. People like you encourage racism, sexism, tribalism, homophobia, fascism, nazism and so on.Do you really think that you can change the world? When you can’t even change your attitudes and...

Have you ever reflected back and wondered what may have become of a choice, had you chosen to do the opposite of what you did? That's not supposed to be a zen riddle. Just a simple question. So often we hear someone say, "I wish I had never chosen to do that."
What if you hadn't...

VIRGINIA CREEPER
In a clearing grows a vine; as seasons change the leaves turn pale. This type of vine grows throughout the wood, but does it grow pale everywhere or only in the sunlit space? I see the trembling of the lovely foliage and wonder the destiny of the flora. Does growth have a...
