Seeking Truth
Is it real
The things they say
Or just manipulation
To get their way
Is it stained
To colors they wish
Or do they believe
What they cherish
Is there a thing called Truth
Or a thing we want
A perception we know
As we move on with the Show
Rabid Poet
Clock Ticks On
This journey is not clear
Many things we can fear
Projections seem to rule our day
What Ifs have their say
As they drift into The Here
Hope is not the prevalent Meme
Though It gives us a positive theme
A livable path for those not yet here
A positive path for us to steer
A Reality rather than a Seem
We each must move on
Each giving up our Throne
Using as little as we can
Conservation must be our Plan
Acting now as the clock ticks on
Rabid Poet
FREE
We must go
On to a New Show
One with consideration for all
One to help catch their fall
One moving to a beautiful Slow
We have been given a chance
To eliminate nonsense
To listen to our young
To sing a new song
To move out of our trance
To move to a New Reality
That some can clearly see
Leaving behind thoughts of old
Those we have been told to hold
Which will then set ourselves FREE
Rabid Poet
Seek The Now
I seek the Now
Not guite sure How
Too many voices
Too many choices
Too many religions to bow
Around us is beauty
Nature doing it's duty
Our attention is diverted
To things perverted
To things considered cutie
A new direction we must find
One much more kind
Away from the compete
Away from the incomplete
Away from leadership blind
Rabid Poet
Living For Today
My candle burns low
My memories come slow
I wish for many more years
Not many more tears
But this life given to me
Was bestowed for free
By people who care
Who are now thin air
There are no regrets
No looking for yets
Living for today
There is no other way
Rabid Poet
The Insult
I threw out an insult
Not knowing where it may land
Hoping it reaches it's target
Not just landing in the sand
A beach filled with insults
Not thrown unintended
I must get better
So they land as intended
Rabid Poet
The Now
In the Now we try
Like reaching for the Sky
What is To Be
Will set us free
But if we we reach for the To Be
Which will show us how
Or will the result be
Creating a new Now
Will Time Traveling backward
Show us to The How
Or nothing we can ever do
Will allow us to leave The Now
Maybe The Now is insane
A place we make in our mind
A place we accept
No other place to find
Rabid Poet
Yet
It will come
Soon we hope
Things we desire
To help us cope
How far away
Or how much time to take
For us to arrive
For our goal to bake
We will be able to see
On this we can bet
It will be great
We ain't seen nuthin yet
Rabid Poet
Singing Reality
When what we know
Is no longer our show
We grasp for memories
To fill in The When
But it continues rushing to The Then
We remain in the pretend
And give it a name The Trend
We search for a must To Be
A future we can see
Is it A Song
As we meander along
Close to a To Be
As we sing reality
Rabid Poet
Put It Off
I need to do it
To get me through it
I hear their pleas
Down on their knees
But my inner self says screw it
I'll do it right away
Before the end of day
No putting it off
Was that a cough?
Maybe I will just play
My reputation is at stake
Their trust I can't break
It is something I must do
Before the day is through
Oh well, so I'm a Fake
Rabid Poet
Where we are Headed
Where we are headed
No one seems to know
The Planet hold it's secrets
Planning for it's own show
We keep on consuming
Like termites in a tree
We see no limits
The fall we can't see
When the tree falls
Still much to consume
Soon it will be gone
And we will face our doom
Rabid Poet
Placebo
Which way to go
A way that I know
Or maybe what
Is tied in a knot
Preparing my new show
If I take this pill
I avoid any new ill
So they say
Go your merry way
You won't stay still
It's not what you pray
It's more what they say
Should I take this pill
With a good life to fill
And be part of their play
Rabid Poet
Next Treat
In the yards
Grass not mowed
In the streets
Cars not towed
In the mailboxes
Mail overflow
Where is everyone?
Is that scream of a crow?
We should have known
This can't go on
Constantly on the go
Constantly on the phone
The Silence is weird
Power lines in the street
Rats scurrying everywhere
Looking for their next treat
Rabid Poet
Reality Speaks
We rush to the Future
Like we know what's there
More of this, better that
We really care
It's in our smartphones
Answers that we seek
To give a view
To give us a peek
But reality speaks
In language unknown
Very little we know
So get off the phone
The years will pass
So will people we know
And the answers we seek
Are in an unknown show
Rabid Poet
Insanity
Are we insane
Or is this just a game
Winners, losers
Those with fame
Are we machines
Human pretending to be
Or are we humans
Not understanding free
Perhaps insanity
Is just another word
For slowly disappearing
In our society herd
Lies defined as Truth
So we get our way
Now defined as Sanity
Another games to play
Rabid Poet
These streets
We walk alone
Seeking a way
For us to atone
For those vulnerable
We chose to ignore
Those without voices
Those not human as before
When daylight arrives
And we look around
Will we be alone
With only human sound
No tweets from the trees
No howls in the breeze
Again walking the darkened streets
Into an ominous freeze
Rabid Poet
Happy Virus
It's dancing in the air
Doing It's Fred Astaire
Moving from group to group
It doesn't care
Frat Party here
Church gathering there
Growing larger in numbers
Creating it's own Fair
It found It''s way
It has it's day
As people regroup
Back to their old way
So on It grows
In It's Merry Way
Dancing in the air
Growing day to day
Rabid Poet
The Show
When will it come?
The End as we know
As promised by Saints
As part of the Big Show
But what is coming?
Is it part of the End
Which could be the Beginning
Of Time that we bend
Oh well, so confusing
Where did we start?
Monkey wanting long eyelashes
As cavemen pulled a cart
It really doesn't matter
Things that we know
In the End
It's part of the Show
Rabid Poet
The Meetings
I met with the Tree
It said with a sadness
On your human journey
Please let us be
I met with a Polar Bear
It said with a sadness
We must have Icebergs
Don't you even care
I met with a Butterfly
It said with a sadness
We must have flowers
To reach from the Sky
I met with a Lion
It said with a sadness
Hold off your hunters
Or we will not move on
Realizing I'm not the only one
The meetings were ended
Sadness is expanding
Life disappearing under our Sun
Rabid Poet
Hugs
Eskimo pies
Are good for your eyes
But Polar Bear hugs
Are probably lies
Making your own truth
Will get you proof
What the bear did on the snow
Is now your big show
Rabid Poet
Persisting
Time and Space
Are abstractions
We made up
From coffee in our cup
To go from Here to There
Becomes an unseen stair
And time between
Simply goes unseen
There has never been a past
Only the Now rushing past
Matter changing form
Clouds forming a storm
Thoughts and memories form
And rush into the storm
We call daily existing
And some call persisting
Rabid poet
Time and Space
We are in a race
To understand Time and Space
Are we Here are There?
Our do we really care
To get to There from Here
We will need a Spare
One infinitely large
With an Alien in charge
Light years over there
To lifeforms that care
Would be a treasure
To bring us pleasure
But in this dream
There lies a scheme
On how we could go
On a trip infinitely slow
Simply turn ourselves around
We are back here we found
From a trip on infinity way
A trip easy to play
Rabid Poem
"We Should"
As a species
We went so far
On the backs of other species
On roads made of tar
To see us ending
No planet to have us
Our claims of progress
Leaving on the Finality bus
We see ourselves as great
Turning things to our good
When as the End approaches
Progress is turned to "we should"
Rabid Poet
Awareness
On we go
As if we know
Are we as one?
In this ongoing Show
Are we unique
Reaching our peak
Or a collective blend
Thinking individuality we seek
What of the Past?
They didn't last
And those yet to come
Their expressions yet to cast
Do we really care?
Is Life just a tear?
A ripple in Time?
A new suit to wear?
Rabid Poet
Give Thanks
I thank my Tongue for:
Dodging my teeth while chewing,
Helping to articulate my words
and....,...of course, Taste, mmmm, chocolate,
Oh, and swallowing nerds
And picking bits of food from around my gums
while manipulating saliva,
And probably more
including Tums
Rabid Poet
Immortality
We all must go
From this human show
Hard as we all try
To dodge the by and by
We look to Immortality
Exempt from reality
How could we see
That we cease to be
We need to accept
Our vision as inept
And go our merry way
To a world of day to day
Special as we seem to be
In the Evolution Tree
In the chain of life we play
A passing on to another day
Rabid Poet
The Crow
I awakened this morning
With great things to do
Along came a crow
With knowledge anew
What is your advice
I ask of the crow
"Turn those great things around
start a new show"
From hence comes your wisdom
I ask of the crow
"Just look around you, it's there for you to know"
Away it flew
Way out of sight
And here I stand
Awaiting the night
Rabid Poet
The Obvious
Is it real?
It seems so
A direction I choose
Should I decide to go
There are perils
Should I say no?
The truth is obvious
If I'm a noshow
So away I go
A direction I intuit
A direction I trust
As I move to it
Rabid Poet
Our Wins
Cracks in the sidewalks
Where we once walked
Vines growing up buildings
Where we once talked
Didn't see it coming
All occupied with wins
We will be saved
Forgiven of our sins
Vines hiding building windows
Rats scurry through open doors
And street cracks filled
With weeds
In front of long closed stores
Rabid Poet
Rules
Rules are for fools
Basking in their pools
Stimulus here and there
Don't need 'em, don't care
Wear those masks today!
Why? We want to play
No-Wear is our right
Let others take the fight
We like to gather
In social lather
Covid will disappear
Big time sports is near
Rabid Poet
"You Are With Us Now"
In the darkness it glows
Informing us of our woes
"Come to me" shows the small screen
"and join this virtual machine"
Those I knew are gone
Replaced with a virtual phone
New friends so they say
"you are in a better way"
"I'm not so sure" I feel
"This seems so unreal"
The small screen blasts a vow
"you are with us now"
Rabid Poet
Darkness
In the Darkness I belong
Seeking that for which I long
Away from light streaming
Away from those demeaning
Away from what is wrong
The line grows by the day
Those seeking a better way
Into the Darkness they go
With seeds they will sew
Singing songs about a better way
The Darkness becomes a new friend
A message they can send
Leaving behind delusions
And others with confusions
For a way they can depend
Rabid Poet
Placebo
Which way to go?
Real or Placebo?
Claims of this and that
Tippy tapping, tipping the hat
Soon results will be in
What's good and what's sin
How to know
Was it a Placebo?
When is test to be
Given to you or me
How am I to know
Real or a Placebo?
Rabid Poet
No Matter
No matter what they say
I can't go their way
Storm clouds are growing
Plastic wastes are flowing
And they claim a better day
Where are we going?
Without any knowing
Keep on spending
Limits never ending
With consequenses now showing
No matter what I think
As life quality continues to sink
We make up money
They see warnings as funny
Life to be gone in a blink
Rabid Poet
Do We Really Care?
Do we really care
What goes into the air
As long as we can drive
And pretend to thrive
Do we really care
What things become trash
The piles continue to grow
And we continue our Show
Do we really care
While extinctions grow
They try to hide
In places we don't go
Our plans for Mars
And travel to the stars
Seem distant now
As some ancient vow
Do we really care
What will be, will be
As the TV goes dark
Our remains wash to the Sea
Rabid Poet
Irish Jig
Fat man with a dog
Trying to cross a log
Doing an Irish Jig
Grunting like s pig
Will he reach the other side
Showing his Irish pride
Or take the dance too fast
For he and dog to last
It was a sight To see
The fall sure to be
But he gave it his all
To the other side before the fall
Rabid Poet
Rush to Nowhere
We rush to conserve
Avoiding that upward curve
As if we have controlled
Over what we are told
Put more propellers in the breeze
Cut down those wind blocking trees
Build more dams for water control
And maybe we will save our soul
We know there is a nowhere
We only need to rush to get there
Everything will be OK
Coming soon a better day
Rabid Poet
All are Gone
After all the words are spoken
And the World keeps on turning
What is left to adore
Certainly us no more
Those days of self adoration
As other species depart
Of lifting eyes to Heaven
Proving we are smart
Does it really matter
When we're all gone
That we could not fix
As Life turned to stone
Rabid Poet
When it comes
And very soon
We sit on Titanic's deck
And howl at the moon
We will listen to the orchestra play
As water reaches our feet
Don't worry about icy water
Just get a higher seat
Economic collapse
Protests every day
And he who is in charge
Rushing to have his way
Rabid Poet
Poem to You
I threw a poem into the sea
A poem cast to you from me
A poem traveling far
In a bottle under a star
A poem seeking to be
Will there ever be a view
It's intent meant for you
Or drift forever more
It's meaning in its core
A meaning remaining true
Rabid Poet
The Fool
This will end
Know not when
Destiny holds reign
As we hide our pain
Disguised as sin
We hold on as Gods who rule
Sitting on our golden stool
The time will arrive
Like clouds in the sky
Leaving our role as Fool
Rabid Poet
Quiet
Quiet creeps in
Like a forgotten sin
Comitted years ago
In our Ego Show
Difficult to deny
Ours eyes to the sky
What was our joy
Is now just a toy
Do we welcome Quiet
Is it an Insight
Maybe so we say
On our merry way
Rabid Poet
Trying to Find Our Way
Trying to find our Way
Going into another day
Advice from here
Advice from there
Follow me they say
But goals disappear
And visions turn to fear
Don't do this
Don't do that
Nothing is becoming clear
So what are we to do
Gather with just a few
Put on that mask
Stay home for that task
And maybe get out of this Zoo
Rabid Poet
The Race
They drive in circles
With hopes they will win
Those circles to nowhere
Not seeing the sin
Fans coming from miles
Food in their car
Awaiting the great event
Wheels spinning on the tar
And when it is over
Drivers joyously out their car
Fans returning to their own race
Taking us not very far
Rabid Poet
Time
Time washes over us
Leaving remnants of our past
We pick up the pieces
Time moving so fast
What did we learn
Mistakes and successes
Destined to be lost
In those dark recesses
Does it really matter
Since time will erase
Those mistakes we made
On our journey through Space
Rabid Poet
Doom
What is That
Tipping it's hat
Tip tapping across the room
Singing songs of Doom
Trying to avoid a cat
Is it a rat
Doing a tippy tippy tat
Letting us know
It's our final show
It's our final splat
Didn't know
Rats could do a Show
Tippy hats
Ratta tat tats
Attending our final Show
Rabid Poet
Poem.....Wave of Life
We are a wave of Life
Just passing through
Some with many years
Other only a few
Do we pass on what we know
The lessons we learned
Or is our time only a show
The wave continues on
With those who heed
With those that care
For those in need
Our destiny is naught written in a star
It is written in our passion
To push our wisdom far
Rabid Poet
Come and Gone
Come and gone
No passion shone
Our time was short
Building our empire
Racing ahead alone
We called it success
We called it progress
When what it was
Looking back
Was eras of distress
We can't go again
Another Era of sin
We can't save what is gone
Or seek how to atone
Or understand the term "When?"
Rabid Poet
Tap, Tap, Tap
What is there to say
Things changing day to day
Protest this
Prohibit that
We have lost our way
Who is charting our path
Leading us to an unknown bath
How do we know
Which way to go
To avoid the coming wrath
Save this, save that
Tapping shoes and tilted hat
We dance our way
Down rainy streets
To avoid the coming spat
Rabid Poet
"Virus"
I walk these streets alone
Cars and buses long gone
Occasional stray cat or dog
People hiding out in smog
Attached to a smartphone
The Virus now widespread
Hospitals are notread
When will It end
Is it Earth in mend
Or last dream in one's head
Rabid Poet
Poem...."Time"
There will come a time
When Earth spins no more
When our bones are our story
Of the fabric of life we tore
Did it really matter
Those species we pushed to extinct
All were going there anyway
Gone as we blindly blinked
Silence will occupy our space
Dust gathering on our bones
Stars gazing upon u
As they turn to stones.
So what was the reason
For life here and gone
Time will come
Answer written on a bone
Rabid Poet
Today will be Through
Don't know Up from Down
Or Forward from Back
Or is it Right from Left
Or Tic from Tac
When from Was
Does it Matter or Not
Friend from Foe
Cold from Hot
One thing for sure
Or maybe Two
When Tomorrow comes
Today will be through
Rabid Poet
Plant Despair
In despair
Says the tree
Oxygen in the air
I give to thee
I spread my leaves
To face the sun ray
To separate oxygen from H2O
So animal life can play
Please don't cut me down
To make your light poles
And thousands of other things
As you play your desperate roles
Our time will come
We will again cover Earth in green
And you humans are here no more
Eaten by your machine
Rabid Poet
New Seed
I look for answers
From times unknown
For guidance
From past seeds sewn
There is no certainty
Nothing to count on
Except protecting the Planet
New seeds being sewn
One thing is for certain
The Now is always Here
The future non existing
The Past not to fear
A New Age approaches
Leaving behind global greed
A chance for Humanity
To grow from new seed
Rabid Poet
"Climate Change"
One, Two
Climate Change is true
Three, Four
Tell me more
Five, Six
Ain't no tricks
Seven Eight
Tell it straight
Nine, Ten
Big fat hen
Rabid Poet
