A year later.

Oh how it has languished
a year later I find myself here again

so much has passed since then
elections, oh dear god how much politics has happened between now and then

and Then I Walked Away again
skull on a glass of beer woven in flowers
ride ride ride hard and fast
but neither be the fastest or the slowest
if you find yourself in the lead
you are only at the tail end of the next wave
or a sitting duck for the radar gun

so many things to say
so much water down the river
things I used to do that I don't do now
so it has been a year

are there any new pictures to share perhaps?
Why yes! Yes! I have pictures of this world we live in
There is hope and fear.
Rage and peace.
 born about the time that picture was taken
 into a world at war with itself
I am starting to think it was ever this way
Grandfathers pray for me
when you were a child and a young man we were at war with ourselves
leaving Tennessee to go to Texas after it was done
here I am today
a war of ideas as it ever was
we can be the good if we choose to
but what is the good is no longer agreed upon
greed is not good
and therein lies the rub
