for the sake of humanity
bring us together in unity
we’re a troubled society
in desperate need of harmony
help us see
the absurdity
of denying diversity
so that we can live
together peacefully

The Escort
He landed lightly on the mountain top
and looked down into the valley below
bathed in the sunset’s pink glow
with people retiring for the night
he had a job to do in the moonlight
a soul to escort away
by the end of the day

The Skeptic’s View
On religion the skeptic’s view is clear
there’s no invisible guy in the sky
that mankind has to fear
Skeptics find it hard to believe
religion to them, is just a way to deceive
and that faithful followers are all naive
Skeptics often fall back on science
in dogged defiance
of religion’s compliance
taking a wait and see
attitude unapologetically
when it comes to their destiny
