Faces Of Cazuca – The Illusive Peace For The Children Living In Extreme Poverty After Colombia’s War — Edge of Humanity Magazine
Pained eyes of children

A Haiku For Freeman
Another sad day
Heros and victims blending
Violence beckons
Seeking Peace
What can we now do
To face down our culture’s rage
Find a path to peace
Numb
Facing life’s cruelty
Weary of watching them crushed
Energy vanished
My Mind woke me

So very much racing through
Still desire sleep
My mind can be quite creative in these odd hours. Often, though,my waking isn’t about creative expression rather regarding fear.
A Haiku About Mothers
Always honor her
For life is very fleeting
Time flees like fall leaves
I think about my mother often.
My mother died when she was forty. Weird to have outlived her.
Self Cruelty
I hate my mistakes
For I expect perfection
Savage to myself
I exhibit no kindness
This is not a healthy thing
