An Eye for an Eye
(the whole world will go blind).
We will never move forward, if we’re always looking behind.
An Eye for an Eye, the whole world goes blind.
We are born from one love...
At death our spirits simultaneously fly...
An Eye for an Eye...
The whole world goes blind.
There is no victory to be found...
In creating tears that are cried.
An Eye for an Eye...
The whole world goes blind.
Anger breeds hate, hate leads to death.
To fight fire with fire often seems the only action left.
There’s a truth to be found in the inspiring words of a great man.
If I can reach one person by repeating them...
I’ll do all that I can.
If anyone had cause for violence...
Or an injustice to complain.
He could have waged a war as a tyrant...
Yet in peace we remember his name.
A man so wise who still inspires after his demise.
A spiritual statement of truth...
I will remember all of my life...
An Eye for an Eye – The whole world will go blind.
An Eye for an Eye – The whole world will go blind.

I have been writing Poetry since I was a teenager. Now in my late thirties I enjoy it more than ever. I find it a wonderful release and it helps me to free my mind and understand myself and my emotions.

Reaching Out
I promise her. I'd do anything for her. She's my mom. Even as Lanie and Deanna are flying home, Mom is scrappy fighting dying. She lays too still in that too-big bed with all the toasty white hospital blankets, in the south tower, at the broad end of a long slow-turning corner that delivers me again to her private room with the view she can't see through, with the beeping that tells us nothing new, and all these ice chips she can't swallow, and a flood of well-intentioned nurses who cannot do a damned thing all the same.
