All Men Fall

All men fall

But some men

Deny it is so.

But could one go

Into the mind

Of all men

One would find

No angels here below.

 

I have seen Heaven and Hell

And I know well

That the path to both

Oft runs parallel.

Her Ring on My Entry Phone

Her ring on my entry phone.
“I’ve left my key at home.
I live at flat –“.
The devil winks when man thinks
Thoughts he ought not to think.
But ‘twas no sin
To let her in!

The Beast In Man

I shower
And make myself respectable for the day
But say
Who has the power
To take the beast in man away?

I find
That many are kind
And that I can be kind in return
For man does learn
That it is pleasanter that way,
But say
Who can take the beast in man away?

When I smile
There can be no denial
That people like me that way,
But say
Who can take the beast in man away?

The Utopians say
That there will come a day
When man will not be this way,
But say
Have they not
Also got
Feet of clay?

The Crooked Tree

Whichever way the wind went
The crooked tree bent.
I spent
Much time gazing at that tree,
Which looked back at me
And seemed to say
“As sure as night follows day,
We shall bend together
With the prevailing weather”.
