Why This Is
~~~~~ In any time and any place most will stay, but some must go. It doesn’t matter where or when, they feel the need to travel. And this is a need, and not a want, though it involves desire. You wonder why others wander, while those who do, must. And during their ramblings, they reinvent […]
Other Mornings
~~~~~ Misty mornings where I walk Horsetails grow in profusion As to myself, out loud, I talk Seeking escape from confusion Primitive the plants which grow Primitive also this modern man With more misty dawns to know At least that is my current plan ~~~~~ VOTE, November 3, 2020! ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is […]
Casting Shadows
~~~~~ Are we but half ourselves as we wait for the sun to shine? Not for the warmth to bring life, but for the shadows cast. How can we be awake to watch our shadows stroll along, When they walk tall, lead our steps, when they walk after? As if they would linger, search for […]
Someone Like You
Recyclers will come by, Rearrange the atoms, axions, Electrons, gluons, ions To find some re-try-ons. Smile if you want; Won’t change facts none. Happens to exploded suns; Try it, if you have one. Be careful though How you arrange them. Confused, you may cause mayhem, When you hoped for a gem. You’ll wonder how You […]
Some Have, Some Will
~~~~~ Some have called me crazy, so many things worse. Some have called me lazy; work smarter no curse. Some have called me hazy; as I accept the diverse. Some have called me mazy; they’re sure I rehearse. Some have called me liberal; I always seek to give. Some have called me gullible; that’s not […]
So Below
Oh what a trial computers are, yet we cannot live without them. Their bits, bytes, drivers, apps, to most, as magical as a unicorn. Like people, get filled with junk, catch viruses like an alien BEM. We try to tend them carefully, but in time they grow old, forlorn. Like pets, love them, invest in […]
There and Here
~~~~~ I admit I’m a fan of the future, Though there is nothing there. We wish we could take a tour, Problem is, we’re already here. ~~~~~ VOTE, November 3, 2020! ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ See more of my creative offerings and opinions at: Brent […]
A ‘70s Lament and a Moral
~~~~~ Hearing the music of a long forgotten song, A classic, yet we don’t remember its name. It’s not always even what we would choose. Life is its own agenda, some win, some lose. Reminds us, can’t see what tomorrow brings. How any moment might be paupers or kings. What I would say, choose […]
Entropy Increases, Ya Boy Howdy
~~~~~ Why don’t they come haul his ass away? He gets crazier with everything he say. He lives for himself, all alone in his own head. It wouldn’t matter if we all dropped dead. He never ever does the things he oughta. Though I’m sure he would hug his daughter. He’s a senile, demented nut […]
Balancing Act
~~~~~ Where is the light we keep in the window That guides each of us all the way home? What time we ponder wait and wonder; Will our answers ever remain unknown? How can the illness and greed of the few Control the course all our lives will take? With the time now to think […]
