words are bells
let them ring!

bonded by the air we breathe

by this freeze,and sudden snow
by every fear and rising hope
by the tarnishing of heroes
We are common as our earth beneath
solid as our commitments
as real as trust in dreams
we project as poetry


WHEN MY ANGEL FELL
(because the wind,because the chill)
i picked her up again/moved on
When she was moved by stronger pressure
i reinstated her wings/moved along
I know there will be stronger winds
I still restore my angel/and move on

DEALS ARE BEING MADE
that seek to divide us/but we wait
and watch and witness,
as tyrants resist the will of their people
We are people.We know what they mean
You do not cut off arms and legs to balance budgets
You need teachers and counselors and schools for the young
and elders need to be cared for as they age.You do not need F1
Cut the fat salaries first,administration second,properties third
Listen to the people.Act on what you have heard
