Poetry from the book {The lion and the Sun} by Artist Troy Richard Thomas

                                  Control 

                               Conformity

                                   Power

                                 Privilege

                                Grievance

                      Violence, War, Civil War

                        Jealousy, Envy, Covet

                                   Greed

The hatred of others, Groups, xenophobia, Preeminence, rules are whims made by the smallest of people, Stagnant Minds, Rich and Poor the suckers game, love and beauty in this world has been discarded, The struggle to survive, The waiting game, They don't have your best interest at heart, Back to the word "Control".

Poetry from the book {Bunny Hop} by Artist Troy Richard Thomas

Do we really need you, can you ever sing our song?

I head East into a reservoir called a river

The giant heads of sand rise like serpents

You can't reach me here in this place of water and sky

Prolific little shit falling into the that mix

Bum,Wanderer, Drifter, Loner, Painter

I tell a farmer that I am an artist, and he asks me to paint his barn

John Muir was evermore a walker and genius, he could live off a loaf of bread for a month

The river gives life and takes life, (a body is floating in a backwater

I dearly needed you, more than I realized, that knife to the heart doesn't matter at all

No stretch of this river is true wilderness

Bridges falling, dams breaking, roads cracking, wires cut

The telephone poles sprout with life

The jungle cat becomes king, whatever for, he did more fighting than ruling

A wound stretches across my arm, the sun dries the wound to a crust

There's nothing the good old sun can't cure

Flying pigs and the Jesus of Detroit

Headless chickens run around Miss Van Campballs living room

She tells me she used to be a Dutch treat

Sperm floats from her mouth like a Lawrence Whelk bubble machine.

  

Thunder Bay by Artist Troy Richard Thomas

 I had a wonderful time in Thunder Bay, I met some nice tattooed girls, I had pancakes at Hoito a Skandinavian Restaurant, ate dinner at the Nook an Italian Restaurant. The weather got down into the 40's with spitting rain, it wasn't a kayak day, but I got to meet some really nice people.
