Government Of Ants

Government Of Ants

A government is a monolith of powers;
immovable, implacable; without a soul;
a weed in the garden, chocking the flowers;
pure power becomes its primary role.

A noble faction once fashioned its birth;
planning it, to replace a tyrant king;
its never ending tentacles covered the earth;

Snowflakes Of Life

Snowflakes Of Life

Life, like snowflakes, is beautiful and fragile;
literally floating into being from above;
birthed by emotions, and a mind, most agile;
for both were created a product of love.

Snowflakes are born in a special season;
conditions must be right, for their birth;
circumstance comes together for

Enigma Of Free Will

Enigma Of Free Will

We think since, in freedom, we are designed;
the Master allows our minds to run free.
Do we have any doubt, at all, in our mind;
