1 NYC
Dreams they are walking
Spawns more kills more these old streets
8th avenue blues
2 Library
We're closed for today
Bring another day to read
"Tomorrow", I said
3 Windows
Light's getting in through
Questioning eyes they peep out
"I'm old", says the house
Poems are the path to inner peace.

DEAD STRUCTURE YIELDS
*
The hardened
crust of mother earth
green spring
spears rupture.
Invicible love
breaks through
the heart,
melting the past's
calcified structure.

Wake Up! Wake UP! No more sleeping in bed
Little Peter is crying he needs to be fed
Angie is failing she can’t even read
This problem exists because she is poor- that’s what her teacher now believes
We are failing our children while we lie asleep
Our family structure is failing and is proven to be weak.
Wake Up! Wake Up! Mother while Peter is being raped
By the same man you love and claim it’s you that he dates
Wake! Wake Up! Dad your daughter is growing old
She needs a man in her life – so she sleeps with the addict who treats her cold…
Wake Up mom and dad no more thinking about you
But instead of our children whose thoughts are misconstrued
The alarm clock has gone off- No more sleeping in bed
Let’s save the children we have left
‘Cause half of our children are already dead.
Wake Up!!!!
Those who's files have become corrupted
those who dare question the master programmer
will be sought out for defiance of the system
for the programs who threaten the safety of the structure
discipline will used without hesitation.
Those who run will be hunted down
as there is no where to go, there is no escape
from the walls that protect the citizens;
these walls keep peace and order.
