The Magical Away

The Magical Away is neither magical nor truly away…

Non the less…once a week sanitation magicians come and remove the unwanted remnants of our consumerism… allowing us to persist in the delusion that it no longer exists.

But exist it does…and it grows at a reckless pace…

Some among us, and even abroad, are not afforded the luxury of averting their eyes, or worse, must abide a close proximity and suffer the toxicity of the poison refuse the wealthy are able to heap upon them.

For the sake of humanity, and the planet we must aspire to a world that is natural, sustainable, and recyclable…

Lest the truly magical vanish permanently, and irrevocably into the away.

Secrets and Lies

It was the night of the fire…who can forget?

We were all in places we would come to regret

Every single one of us had secrets to hide

But only one did evil they could not abide

At half past midnight in the meadow, we met

The silence we vowed remains unbroken yet

The horrific crime is hidden from all but one

The rest of us wonder who, and what can be done?

Unbearable guilt is the price we pay for the pact we keep

Someone died that night in the forest, dark eerie and deep
