Hope with no plan
Is a plan with no hope
Unless hope IS the plan;
Not a good one, nope.
Poetry
What Else Is There
The end is met
The means is fair
Your soul intact
What else is there
Quitting
to quit:
being bitter just to seem truthful
to quit:
being a quitter just to seem youthful
Remorse
let all remorse
drip like dew
welcome the dawn
welcoming you
Distracting Thoughts On Distracting Thoughts
I guarantee you do not need a cellphone,
A bag of fries, unopened can of pop,
A passenger behind you raising hell, drone
About your driving with no plan to stop;
A toddler trying hard to lose his harness
Or children crying out to have their say
Mixed in with whines complaining of the farness
Of wherever you’re headed to this day.
You do not need these things to be distracted
Although they’re bound to help without a doubt,
If you won’t rest until your life’s impacted
By injury that glamorizes gout,
Just tell yourself that you’re distraction-free,
Then watch yourself distract you totally.
This truly is intended as a public service message. (The cynical tone is deliberate but NOT meant to make light of the matter.)
- Distracted driving is a hazard
- Thoughts can distract just as much as anything else
- Don’t let your guard down
- Focus on what matters!
Holding On
The sun sets on one loss
And rises on another
Every setting though
Reminds us letting go
Is holding on to what matters
Fields Of Praise
Harvesting fields of praise
Can dull the scythe
Of wisdom
Burden Of Lies
Every lie we fabricate
Comes back to us one day
Consider it the dues of fate
That liars have to pay
Feeling Down
When I feel down
I call this friend
He tells me of
His pains and then
I only feel down
About feeling down
Unidiotic
Nobody is an idiot
Each of us acts like one
On occasion
Some choose
To stay in character
