Ayn Rand’s Birthday
Oh, what was in this birth day, who could tell? Who knew what force of life had burst, to swell In total selfishness—one sovereign soul Who chose the real in all, the honest, true, And with completest loyalty followed through, … Continue reading
You Said (A tribute to Ayn Rand)
They said, “We’re sure of nothing;” And you said, “I know everything I know.” They said, “The mind is feeble, A thing we cannot trust;” And you said, “I trust mine completely, And I can prove and show.” They said, … Continue reading
Oh You
Oh you, not here; my yearning grows for you. I see you, bare, and I would be with you, Would take you, dear, with hands that burn to take, My arms as flames grown hotter for your sake. I stamp … Continue reading

Justice Is Ready (with a nod to Longfellow)
Those who preach “service” mean only “serve us” And “teachers” like them should make us nervous. Nay, soul-lechers like those must hear damnation From everyone good in a still-free nation. Then speak out, declare it, shout it out loud—- “I’m … Continue reading

Footprints
Footprints of men on earth Are trails of worth. Footprints of mine Are half divine. Footprints rate. They are great. Footprints of enviros Go round and round the earth, Circling ever deeper. Circling under. Gone. Natural selection. __________________________ The earth … Continue reading

There is a highest place….
There is a highest place upon the earth; It lies along your body, hands and feet. When e’er I look I see you working there, Questful, measuring, calm and sweet. Glad wise theories sweep within your eyes; Sprung from half … Continue reading

Undying Effort
Shafts of silver light through close clouds piercing Strike the heroic statues where they stand. Clouds en-thicken, brown, then blacken quickly; Flash their saving swords in lightning hands!

Steps
A man, for safe asylum, to a monestary went, And then said he was free from the rule of government. Year upon year he walks untroubled, free, Forty paces that way, and this way forty-three.

Glorious Selfish Lovers
Glorious selfish lovers, Unite and fight for Reason’s height And ne’er in selfless lose your light But, egoistic, burn more bright And banish evil into flight. Then bring up day, and charge with cheer Triumphant hills of living here, Where … Continue reading

Strike (a poem of the future)
“The Industrial Revolution!” American workers cry, Who’d rather earn their bread each day And plan their lives and save their pay, Than lie and steal and die. “The Industrial Revolution!” Our guilt-free bosses’ song, Who’d rather teach the willing man … Continue reading

Waking of The Republic
Mine eyes have seen the glory of America restored, She is waking up from slumber to the self she has ignored; She is searching for the rational in each and every word, Her mind is turning on! She is learning … Continue reading

The wizard violinists zweep into the sky With a melody of life in love with right; And the heroic proclamation of a new rebellious nation Overflows the hearts of hearers, giving light. Then a bit of pizzicato plucking flowerets out … Continue reading
