Mission Impossible

Shuffling through the woods on a ghastly night

In search of answers from a ghastly knight

Gripped by fear yet exuding a demeanor of audacity

As he skips through the forest with much tenacity

And suddenly before him his destination appears

Perspiration consumes his face and unveils his fears

The rhythm of his heartbeat quickens to a crescendo

As he is ushered in by a mystic sound composed by the meadow

A strange being, his face concealed by a hideous mask

Welcomes him in and reveals his arduous task

A Poem for HAITI

A tune of devastation plays over the land
Time is trying to heal yet still no one understands
A lifetime of work all buried under endless rubble
And all over the land people gather in a huddle
In search of an explanation that for now remains a mystery
Mourning the many thousands, their eyes unleashing their misery

Perhaps in the case of most developing nations, Dudley Sears offers the most suitable measure of development.
