Cornered –
We watched, as the sun rose
And we watched, as the heavens glowed
And we watched, the stars tapestry
And I watched you, in all your, majestyWe dreamed, you were always there
And we dreamed, free from despair
And we dreamed, of taking for better
And I dreamed, that we’d share, foreverYou held me, gave me all I need
And you held me, on land and sea
And you held me, secretly enchanted
And I felt it, but took you, for grantedAnd it feels like, your burning
Corned, not learning
And this could be, the end
For usYou looked for fear, In my eyes
And you looked for tears, In my cries
And you looked for blood, In our demise
And I looked for love, in your poisoned, skiesAnd it feels like, your burning
Corned, not learning
And this could be, the end
For usAnd it feels like, your burning
Corned, not learning
And this could be, the end
For us
And it feels like, your burning
Corned, not learning -
725. –
December 74, Highway 16
Walking home from school, only 14
Taking a ride, in a couple confide
Found near Terrace, strangled and tiedEight days pass, in Feb 06
Tabor Mountain, found in a ditch
After the mall, she’d stayed with a friend
Took a lift home, found condemnedIf I knew I’d never, see you again
I would of held you tighter
I would have said
If I knew I’d never, see you again
But I thought we had,
Forever725 where they paid the cost
Where they didn’t arrive, where they were lost
725 where families despair
They didn’t survive, we didn’t care
725725, a triple delete
Their ignorance and deceitAugust 18, on the Highway of Tears
Another young life, disappears
Another victim, to show the shame
Shadows taken, another claimedIf I knew I’d never, see you again
I would of held you tighter
I would have said
If I knew I’d never, see you again
But I thought we had,
Forever725 where they paid the cost
Where they didn’t arrive, where they were lost
725 where families despair
They didn’t survive, we didn’t care
725725, a red dress flies
Another indigenous families cries
725725, a red dress flies
another girl missing, another dies -

Inspired by Carl SaganLook Again –
It’s everyone you’ve ever seen
It’s everyone you’ve ever known
it’s everyone that’s ever dreamed
It’s everyone’s homeIt’s every hunter and forager
It’s every hero and coward
Every creator and destroyer
Every king empoweredIt’s every couple in love
It’s every mother and father
Every hopeful child
Every moral scholarIt’s every corrupt politician
It’s every star singer
Every supreme leader
Every saint and sinnerLook again, at this pale blue dot
That’s here, that’s us, that spot
It’s everyone, that has ever been
A mote of dust, suspended by a, sunbeam
On a tiny stage, in a cosmic show
It’s the only home, we’ve ever, knownIt’s the sum of all our joy
It’s the sum of all our suffering
Countless religions
Ideologies and doctrinesIt’s rivers of blood spilled
To conquer and inhabit
To master a fraction
Of a pixelated planetIt’s frequent misunderstanding
It’s to kill and dictate
The endless cruelty
How fervent their hateIt’s all our posturing
It’s delusions of being right
Our imagined self-importance
On a pale point of lightLook again, at this pale blue dot
That’s here, that’s us, that spot
It’s everything, that has ever been
A mote of dust, suspended by a, sunbeam
A tiny stage, in a cosmic show
The only home, we’ve ever, knownIt’s our planet alone
On a lonely speck
Enveloped in darkness
The vastness reflectsIt’s the folly of human conceits
It’s everything we observe
Illuminating our duty
To cherish and preserveLook again, at this pale blue dot
That’s here, that’s us, that spot -
