Great American Melting Pot

The great American melting pot
doesn't seem to mean a lot
If your hair's not blonde
your skin's not white
and your eyes aren't blue

From Miss America
to Hunger Games
and even the
Presidential Campaign
the rampant racism
is the same.

The characters
weren't doused in bleach
and therefore
garnered much
hate speech

This is why the anger lives
This is why there's a divide
This is why there's so much pain
This is why we still complain

The great American melting pot
doesn't seem to mean a lot
If your hair's not blonde
your skin's not white
and your eyes aren't blue

Come together one and all
or else we're headed for a fall.
This place was built by many faces
We're  a nation of all races.

United we stand but
dived we fall.
Will we do away with hate
or is another civil war
our imminent fate?

Get up and Go

Dawning of a new day
can't tell the sun to go away
can't sleep away the hours
can't us your mystic powers

You've agreed to do the job
now get up without a sob
time to work and earn your pay
No, it's not a holiday

Get up, Get Up, Get up and go
The world is waiting as you know
Get up, get up, get up and go
The world is waiting as you know

Word Drought

Suffering from a serious drought
divining rod please bring my creativity out
Feeling lost
hoping to be found
Magic muses
please make a sound.

So many thoughts are in my way
emotional overload
keeps the words at bay
Need to move forward
Need to break through
Creativity there must be a path for you

What?

What am I trying to say?
Words have lost their way.
Filled with thoughts and words
so many seem absurd.

What am I trying to do?
Creativity is feeling blue.
Emotions trapped behind my eyes
So much to say but nothing wise.

What am I trying to state?
Too much to contemplate.
Jumbled words and mixed metaphors
How do they escape from behind closed doors?

What am I trying to be?
Good question but don't ask me
for at the moment I just don't know.
Today I'll just go with the flow.

Fancy Lights

There's fancy lights dancing
on the wings of the plane.
Can't talk to anyone about them
or else they'll think me insane.
Captain Kirk called attention
to the creature on the wing.
Turned out to be
quite a perilous thing.


There's fancy lights dancing
on the wings of the plane.
Can't talk to anyone about them
or else they'll think me insane.
Is it just my perception
or mere imagination
These lights I see
dancing before me?

Not time for consternation
Just joyful exaltation
to watch these funny faeries at play.
Sit quiet and enjoy them
Don't let anyone deploy them
As that might well end in dismay.

There's fancy lights dancing
on the wings of the plane.
Can't talk to anyone about them
or else they'll think me insane.
Whether altered perception
or imaginative deception
It really doesn't matter to me.
I know I see what I see.
