Present Is Past

Present Is Past

All of the present is really the past;
time is just an innocent bystander;
nothing said or done will last;
history is only a book; a pretender.

We think it all will last a long while;
that ogre called time knows otherwise;
he watches a sunset, with

Plausible Deniability

Plausible Deniability

Throughout history we’re taught honesty;
only the dishonorable and weak tell lies;
it’s a topic of many a sermon or homily;
and those skirting truth, are despised.
