God Cries
Sometimes I think
there is no one listening.
Sometimes I think
“Why do I do this”
Sometimes it seems
I don’t remember making
the big decisions.
The things we do
We just do.
We can’t explain away our lives.
Every time a doe loses a fawn
God cries.
Every time a man fails and takes a drink
God cries.
He knows his creation is imperfect.
He created circles,
circles of
life laughter and tears.
God Cries Poem david michael jackson April 18, 2012
People are suing McDonalds
for killing us all ever so slowly.
Ronald is exposed
as chickens and cows become
animals no more but mere
factory products.
One wonders how many people
Ben and Jerry have killed, or
Pizza Hut.
These profit mongers
should be driven out
and replaced with
Hasben’s Spinach Burger
and Tofu Heaven

A Crow Poem For The Hot Dogs
No more
Shoe poems and tree poems and willow trees
in the sunset.
Oh let me be the crow on the golf course,
dodging balls,
eating scraps of hot dogs
left by the hot
dogs.
Let me be the golf course crow then,
the disrespected crow,
and I will fly and caw and pick at my black wings
with my yellow beak.
And this crow will perch,
perch in a big pine tree.
This crow will
lift his head to the sky and
caw again
enjoying the day and
waiting
for hot dogs.

Wall Art, a Mural
This is an abstract I painted on a wall in my house. You can repaint the wall after I’m gone. It is a all mural……I happen to like the colors. I’m not sure if the profile is saying phooey to the world orwhy he’s sticking his tongue out. I never intended a statement of any kind. It’s just a mural which will be lost as the new tenant goes, “Oh my let’s paint over that! What will peoiple think.”
We I think it’s quite pretty.
