99PERCENT
Ninety –nine percent
By james a. galgano
Now with each growing minute of discontent
To meet the mortgage put food on the table to pay the rent
Without a job or check for unemployment without healthcare
We find ourselves within the midst of growing disenchantment
We the growing indentured college loan owing student servant
We the old and young alike the ninety –nine percent
Captives to the bright...
VIGILANCE
Vigilance
By james a. galgano
A hush came upon the inclement night filled with woe
As if tomorrow held no promise and today no delight
Yesterday was one always looked back toward happiness
Without a care of what one never thought could ever be
So many now go to sleep without hope or someone to care
While the rich get more richer upon others backs
The remainder sink slowly each day into seemingly...
OCCUPY
Occupy
By james a. galgano
To take up space and time
To give notice where there may be a crime
To tell the world we will not rest
Until all that can be better is mad the best
To show those in power we will never concede
To wasted expenditures for war or promote others greed
Especially when half of our nation lives near or in poverty
To subsidize the avarice of corporate malfeasance or wealthy
To...
BELLADONNA
BELLADONA….BY JAMES A.GALGANO
DO NOT WAKE HER FROM THIS SLEEP
PERCHANCE SHE QUIETLY DREAMS UPON
THE FAULT LINE OF EACH HEARTBEAT’S STACCATO
SOFTLY WHISPERING IN YOUTHFUL FLARE
LIGHTING THE WAY THROUGH THE MIRE
OF EACH CORRIDOR’S COBWEBBED DESPAIR
WHERE HER BEAUTY DWELLS INCESSANTLY
LEAVING GENTLE FOOTPRINTS
UPON HEAVEN’S UNREACHABLE STARLIGHT
GUIDING EACH WEARY SOUL’S...
DELIGHT
DELIGHT
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
the tabernacle of human kindness
opened to an ascending flame
within the world’s heart of darkness
salvation gently whispered your name anew
for the seed you planted randomly
sprouted angel wings for each blossom to fly
even if the garden bears no fruit
the soil within which you planted this hope
is thankful for your willingness to try
while...
NO REMEDY IN SIGHT
No remedy in sight
By james a. galgano
Upon some wandering splintered cross we all bear
Heading up an endless trail to obviously nowhere
While our best laid plans gamble away our gains and lost
Calculating the difference as well as the cost
Hoping to salvage some sort of life from the remainder
As if we were some fantasy santa’s blind reindeer
Leading a life we never would never dream
Had we...
MOONSHINE
MOON SHINE
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
A LUNAR LANDING ON LIPS DIVINE
WHOSE FACE IS A VISON OF LOVELINESS
TO REMEMBER FOR ALL TIME AND BEYOND
THIS LIFE OR THE NEXT WITHOUT SUN
AND DESPITE ALL TORMENTS AND TRAVAILS
EACH LINGERING MEMORY OF YOU
WILL BE ENUOGH TO KEEP THIS SHIP OF LIFE
TO SAIL TO THOSE BRIGHTER HORIZONS
WE ALL SEEK TO DISCOVER ONE DAY
TO BE IN HER GOOD COMPANY
WOULD MAKE IT...
