A Letter for You: Poet in a Cemetery _ new poetry October 2025

A Letter for You

I am here; a poet in a cemetery 

I am here as a son, nephew,

uncle, grandson, friend.

Finding comfort and peace on

this 29th day of October 2025

joyful to keep all the memories alive.

I miss you. I am sorry for any time 

I let you down, wasn't around, didn't 

answer your calls, or didn't call enough,

disobeyed you, may have caused hurt.

I know you know. I feel it as my watery 

eyes stare off beyond the trees further 

up on the hillside into pale blue-gray

• the other side of morning -  

across the river - where all of you are 

smiling, speaking, jumping up & down 

you have my attention. I am here 

sitting cross legged on the earth 

back resting on a tombstone.

Why Smitest Thou Me? _ new poetry October 2025

Why Smitest Thou Me?

Why Smitest Thou Me?

Do you believe 

What you read?

Or is religion your opium?

A chimpanzee hybrid army

Not designed to follow God

But the paroxysms of a pervert 

Best to believe 

In what you read 

But in order to really convert 

You must see it’s HE

HE who is I AM

Then you’re ready to receive 

So now how do you 

View the poor?

Do you feel you 

Need to have more?

Judgement Hall from 

Caiphas and even Pilate

Ain’t St. Peter’s Gate

You may think you won 

But you’re not ONE
