This is addressed to the 18 year old Patrick Peay
I know you will understand because you are me
But you were unaware and blind to things you couldn't see
One day you will be truly set free
Try to behave yourself; don't get expelled from school
Pay more attention in class, and don't worry about being cool
Don't be such a rebel and bend so many rules
Never stop writing because God blessed you with that tool
Some of those women never loved you; they used you
They pretended to care, and then they abused you
I understand how affairs of the heart confused you
Just keep it real, and to yourself be truthful
Don't worry too much; those are petty frets
Believing in God's plan is your best bet
We certainly had our fun, and I have no regrets
But Pat, you killed my credit, so please pay your debts

The Owl and The Quail
Gather around and take in this tale of the Majestic Owl and the Dark Quail
One day the quail was foraging for herbs on a trail when an owl soared by, wings as broad as a ship's sail
The owl swooped down and seized the quail in her claws
The quail thought he was going to die and that the owl would eat him raw
Instead the owl took the quail high and far to her nest
She set the quail down gently and urged him to rest
The quail was very baffled; this seems so absurd
But he napped nonetheless while the owl flew off to gather many herbs
When the owl returned, she and her guest enjoyed a mighty feast
And the quail wondered why he was shown so much hospitality by the majestic beast
Then the quail said, "You are a predator. I am prey. Why are you showing me mercy today?"
The owl answered, "I want you to watch after the eggs that I lay. You are noble and will make a fine father, so I want you to stay."

EXCLUSIVE NEW POETRY 2018
"The Maniac of Columbia"
Birthed from the womb of a woman consumed by madness
Seemed destined for a life of strife and sadness
Wandered a path with trials and tribulations
Abused controlled substances for thrills and stimulation
Laid with many women in search of true love
Then true love and a cure for madness came from up above
