My silence is a clenched jaw
Which bites back a toxic tongue
That would lash and rage
At the blind consumption
And desperate throes of a dying world
…
A clenched jaw and teeth which grate
As my raging voice seeks release
From its smiling pearly prison
A smile which filters harsh truths
Into kind courtesies and soft rebukes

My collection of sometimes decent writing
Which I've left "there" for seekers to seek
Though I lack the grandeur of that Pirate King
Perhaps these pebbles can be a light
In this life, this laughing tale
