Amount The Time

Amount the time given for a life|

As the minutes pass another hour lost|

Time stood still as the clock changed hands|

A mass ordeal|

Seemed lost in the vast appeal|

The deal broke through with one foot left standing on crutches|

Passed down from generation to generation|

Applause to make those less worthy feel equal within the equation|

Subtract those unneeded and multiply the ones in front of the class|

Mask the wrinkled face|

Alter the underlines with a more a chiseled outline|

The gravitated figures|

Replace them with cardiovascular enhanced figures|

Increase the workload for those without a voice|

keep them in line|

With a straight lace running up and down their spine|

Inside Your Hands

Parables fumble in unprepared hands| Deprived of gifts bestowed to thee| As humans we seek shelter beneath a tree| When our feet become weak| And our needs extend beyond our means| As rain pours| It cleanses our soul| Dormant ideas start to grow| Yet we turn a blind eye| To what's before our sight| Taking the easy way| Shunning plights| Fighting is not a physical ordeal| It's more of a rejection to extol the almighty rule| Exploring alternatives to fables disguised as facts| Letters shredded in half| Eulogies embedded on a golden calf| The story was written for you to digest| The ending inside your hands| Inside your thoughts is the rest|

Spoken Word

A word once spoke is only heard through an opening in a cracked wall| Shrunk in the balance| Within strings moving from the wind's hold| Escaping push| Reinforced from strength of vibrations from a secluded silence|
