There Is Peace There


supposed to be some running trails up through there.
connecting the whole place.
all the way to Erwin Park.
north end.
plenty of room.
camp for days.
love does actually win in the end.
and we know what love is.
the light!  the light!
it was given to the city in the 50's.
by the Erwin's.
as long as it remained a park.
the off road bike track added later.
80's maybe.
when they started making those big dirt bikes.
always a place for peace.
arranged in a circle of sorts.
pavilions and playgrounds.
fire pits and facilities.
take a night walk with some glowsticks.
skies are huge and you can see the Anna trucks top on 75 central.
hills and valleys and ridges.
a massive wooden cliff.
an old graveyard sits on one side.
the 1800's.
think of the stories they could tell.
but the boredom.
we were born in our own age.
color fades over time.
and over time it has.
diversity and tolerance roam these streets.
all lives matter.
the west west the west the east and the east east.
all get along.
bulldogs and broncos have come along.
but the lions are the original kings and queens.
let's be clear.
peace must be protected.
and strived for.
peace on earth is no accident.
and is somewhat rare.
thank the word.
permanent and eternal peace.
hotheads losing their cool.
the heat irritates.
pride gets involved.
tape is rolling as he rolls by.
talking back talking back.
not minding not minding.
shouting orders shouting cuss words.
the bad one.
and damning God!
get ahold of yourself chief.
the process will continue.
deliberations and protestations.
intentions will seem noble.
prayers will be lifted and lifted.
and should.
ain't no better place than Erwin.
north end.
there is peace there.

Sources Say 5: The Fool's Century

  On the inside it's uglier than most can imagine.  Scandal, cover ups, hook ups, and pick-me-ups.  No telling what kinda narcotics float around, pill to pill, shot to shot, dose to dose, a pharmaceutical disaster.  Like Elvis without any music or Chuck Berry without any moves or Bruce Lee without any kicks or Speedy Gonzales without any speed.  Just dizzy, slurring pigment obsessed drunks, sources say. What does CBS stand for anyway?  Doesn't matter now, they've become irrelevant, a bleak reminder of last century.  The fool's century.  Duped and looped.  Now we know. We started in around the late 40's, picking fights, manipulation, sinister and crude.  Stealthy.  Spies with eyes in the skies.  Peace was never kept, it was invaded.  America was a TV show on CBS.

Sources Say 2: They Miss The Ink

  Related to manipulation abuse, but with a capitalistic twist.  They are paid by the manipulators and the victims of manipulation.  It's a winning business model until the walls come crumbling down on the street, until the curtains pull back.  You thought Oz was bad, at least they got you back to Kansas.  These journal jerks got nothing. Even a few of my sources have moved on, the wreck has left the place dim and disgruntled.  Evidently, what's-her-name stormed out of a staff meeting in tears, mumbling something about pills and booze and karaoke night.  Guess it didn't go well.  Everyone laughed at her when she left the room, seems a real toxic work environment.  They miss the ink. But that won't stop them from cheering on China, and for good reasons.  Ask the finance department.  Money's money, honey, and they got the name, the bull statue, the cufflinks.  They got smear jobs, insinuations, and an editorial board.  Somew...
