The Empty Hearts on the River Bank So many of them left, Walking to the river And wasting away. There, hopes in their Hands and empty hearts, Waiting for the waters To rise. And when the town paper Came out on sunday, dumped on our front step, We read about the Outrage the sorrow Endured by so many. It was finally time to Get the hell outta town. Out there, among the winds A better way lay waiting, Whispering life's only secret.
I ran I ran as fast as I could From the atomic bomb That I’d set off. To my credit I managed to look surprised At my new tan. Sorry 'bout the mess.
He looks like a haunted one
Though could be anyone,
In the dark under the sun,
All humans undone
Time to believe
In the numbers of none.
These hours, small and dangerous, they Tick tick ticks Under foot, feeling around in the dark, waiting. howl at the street light easier than hiking through mountains, nature’s a bitch. So while you rummage through the soft folds of the pain you carry, remember the little hours, How they taunted you. How they hunted you, breathless. Tag, you’re dead dead dead.

You think you’re the magic bean? You’ve been on shore for a day And already ruler of Andes. Are you the one who talks? The giver of shadow Beyond the wall? The haves and have-nots Will be meeting about the measures taken Just to get you a throne, Built on the backs of so many. Hallowed ground stained in sticky pen ink Now used to store the garbage cans, Keep them out of the rain.
Are you the keeper of the empty books? Blank pages that teach so much Or so we’ve been schooled. Line up, sit down, stay still, keep quiet Walk the path of the worker bee. Do your damn job and be thankful, Thankful we have use for you at all. What else could you be? A painter, A sculptor, An interpretive dance major on a budget working for that pizza joint downtown on nights and weekends? That doesn’t pay. It doesn’t pay. Make something of yourself. Make money for someone else. Done something mildly creative, Hang it on the fridge, Here’s a cookie, go and play.
No
Take that shovel and sculpt the earth. Take that keyboard and write a play. Take that hate for your day and create love, A love for everyone one. Create and be your own higher power. Build your own throne, conquer the shadows On the other side of the wall, They’re just you. And now you’re king of the Andes Queen of the Rockies, Fool to no one And the hope of your kingdom, Population 1 and that’s enough for now.

The Blood Moon is almost upon us. It is when there will be a total lunar eclipse, where the earths shadow will turn the Moon a blood red colour. The Blood Moon will be visible worldwide.
One of the great things about lunar eclipses is that they are completely safe to view with the naked eye. No special filters are required to protect your eyes like those used for solar eclipses. You don’t even need a telescope to watch the eclipse, although a good pair of binoculars will help.
In Paganism a Blood Moon opens a gateway into the heavens as the Earth, Sun and Moon align. For a brief moment in time we can commune with the spirit world and other realms.
In many religions this is a great Omen, many Christians believe it will be the return of their savior Jesus. The King James Bible predicts: “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD comes,” [Joel 2:31] The Blood Moon is also on the same day as the Jewish feast of Passover. And is just before Easter.
The Blood Moon is part of a very rare event which is called a Tetrad where there are 4 blood moons in a row. They are spaced out between each other 6 month apart, this gives us 666 between the Blood Moons which has some Christians and Jews worried. The First Blood moon was 15th April 2014, the second was on 8th October 2014, the third is on April 4th 2015 and the final one will be on 28th September 2015.
