more and more paintings
required bigger houses -
more walls to hang them

paintings are made to be seen
not hidden away in vaults

Hey young Grads
good show I say
you've done it now
you showed us how

You had some good times
You made some good friends
now some will go off
to do it again

So good luck in college
You can do it
Have a real wild time
but don't over do it

Try to make friends fast
many of the early ones
will be the ones
who last

Unless you love
to get up early
don't schedule your classes
way too early

And try to get to class
as much as you can
you'll be glad you did
then you'll deserve a cold can

But try not to party
too much before class
you'll more likely attend
and you won't be an ass

If you fail the easy Calc
don't take the harder one
just keep your eye on the ball
between all the fun

You'll be entering
sort of a fantasy land
of reading, writing, and thinking
with those who can lend a hand

So, do your best with grades
but at least finish the task
and soon another graduation
will come at last...

So
CONGRATULATIONS
GOOD LUCK
and HAVE FUN!!!

Hate To Hate

Don't be late
to hate to hate
fate is fate
the greater great

To paraphrase
a Senate bureaucrat
whose foot got stuck
in his mouth so fat

I hate dictatorish acts
but not dictators
I hate torturous acts
but not the torturers

I hate the murderers' acts
but not the murderers?
I hate the rise in rapings facts
so can't I hate the rapers?

And why not the dictators?
How about the torturers?
Consider the murderers?
But not the daily papers?

Sure, love is much bigger
and better than hate
but not when one
loves to hate

But I'm not sorry because it's right
to dislike say Hitler extremely
and that's a definition
of hate from the dictionary

Is there no such thing as evil
in women or in men?
And is evil left un-hated
free to be again?

.

Liberty...

.

liberty
has never been free
- always a price

.

Absurd thought...

.

absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
outlaw most art

especially paintings
that challenge society

.

Narco News...

.

Narco News -
tells truths about the Drug War
that some don't want told...

.

Check out the airwaves...

.

check out the airwaves
scan to hear something new
- may expand your mind

.

Radar showing...

.

radar showing
severe storm almost here
- exciting

.

It starts raining...

.

it starts raining
the raincoat goes on
- then it stops

.

Pigeon navigates...

.

pigeon navigates
around pedestrians
- busy sidewalk

.

Crossing the street...

.

crossing the street
with a bag of burgers
- simple pleasures

sweet anticipation
soon I will just be full

.

Making laws is fun...

.

making laws is fun
they might last forever too
- so laws must be just

take some ego out of it
remove politicians' names

.

Croquet Wars

.

wickets of evil
must be stopped at all cost
- gives purpose to life

their mallets conspire
must send to Hell when one can
- there is hope for us

no judges to pay -
just our fate in the balance
what will happen will

croquet corruption
can't kill enthusiasm
- just makes us stronger

let us not falter
for all we can do is fight
this VERY long war...
