The Public Life Of Neo

 The Purple Rain Fell Softly
Nineteen Ninety-Nine
Block Party In Twin Cities
It Was A Riot, And It Was Quiet Elsewhere

Cattle grazed and sheep lowed
While My Sister Gave Birth
Nolan Was Born Into Worlds
of Cowboys And Indians

Electronic Games and Guns
and Tea Shopping Online
dot COM Bubble Hadn't Popped
Twin Towers Hadn't Fallen

Oh What A Different World 26 years Later
I hardly recognize Myself... yet...
Digital Revolution Came For Me In The Eighties
The MATRIX Back Then Was Public Life
Whenever You Left The House, Essentially

And Computers Helped Us Escape
Electronics Were Human Made
Tron Had Just Come Out
And Electronic Stores Sold Parts

My Confession Is Not Unique
We Have No Idea How Isolated and Lonely
Existence Really Is Until We Look Up
And Watch Stars Light Years Away

That's How The Cookie Crumbles
Building Community Needs Bridges
Pontifex Maximus And Coterie Of Saints
Now aDays We Gossip Online World Wide Web

And The Bridges?  Also Online
Doesn't Fill That Need For 'I'
Without Pregnant Silence
And Searching Better Days

Predation of Wolves

Spring Is Unpacking My Life
Sunshine Is Lighting My World TODAY
Many Battles Unsung
My Life Is A Heroes Ballad
Where My Friends Battled
Dark Monsters On Horseback
And Legions Of Doom

We Were Charged But We Held Firm
Our Hill A Ridge And Our Weapons Points
We Slaughtered Them And Routed Their Gloom
Fundemented Demeanor And Disillusioned Attacks
Got Them Dead Faced And Juxtaposed With Pain
Mercy's Sisters Came And Peace Reigned Closer

Fake And Demeaning & Disillusioned Entourage
Of Some Fundamented General Who's Calvary Broke
Down They Fell On Top Of Our Rolls
And Died Beneath Our Sword Over And Over
Stupid War On The Night And Fears Of A Dreamers Might
Our Clarion Call Prevails & Our Light Shines
Divert Outcomes And One Chooses Anew Midstride

They Could Not See Through This War
There Was Only One Door For Them
For The Legions Of Disillusioned Crew
Their Magic Died Years Ago... Somber Fools
Whom Sought Might To Take From Us
Faith Which Dawns Each Morning aNew
Like The First Black Bird Singing Dude

Light Attracts Love

In The Healing Light Of Morning Sun

Solitude And Pets Waking Love

Rise On Sweet Chariot

Each Morning We Rise Up

 

Write Each Day About Our Love

Writing And Loving Under The Sun

Much Love In Our Cups

Help Us Fly Farther Along

 

Parkland Surrounds Us Each Morn

The Zoo Is Astounding Too

Gods Love Visits Us

With Each Smile

Every Drop Of Coffee, Each Cup

 

Every Bug Sees Us Light Up

What Do We Do With Them

Until Lightening Sky Draws Away

These Bugs Of The Night

Attracted To Our Flame

 

I Know Not But Burn We Must

Love We Must, and Live We Must

These Bugs We Crush 

Have Us Outnumbered

 

Then Cain Requests Consideration

He's a Pariah Asking Favor From Our King

Bad Timing When Our Lit Lamp

Awakens

That We Should Consider Him
