Selected Poems from
Kenny's Chapbook - "Technopoetry"

In the Beginning


Way, way back,
beyond the beginning.
Before the age of man.

The crystal forming waters
touch the gently waving shore.

The stars above,
the Earth below.
The silence and its reach.

The cosmos humming carefully
A lesson there to teach

of oneness, being, life 
and love.
of Changes ever more.

The eternal ageless conflict
of waves upon the shore.

History Lesson


Are we ever
what we remember
or is past a fantasy

Shaped and molded
by our minds
to fit what we believe

Journeys


Standing in my garden
I see the lightship sail
Far beyond Antares
I hear the demons wail
Wishing themselves to be free
from their deadly sin
Wishing for their own
journey to begin

Mass Destruction


Must we destroy
all that we touch,
as though
it were our right.

Must we destroy
all that we touch,
why can't we
see the light.

Humanity is a virus
infecting planet Earth.
Cities are festering sores
upon our mother's skin.

Foul brown air blankets the wounds.
Scum in the water below.
Maggots of infestation
on concrete covered soil.

Master of our environment 
master of all we survey
Man, he is the master
and destroyer of the same.

Technopoetry


Poems are tools
just like cars
wrenches of the mind
Reaching out, seeking within
for wonders yet to find

Advancing civilization
the technology of art
Line and verse,
pick and plow
never far apart
