2D
People who are no deeper
Than the pages or screens they write on
The air they use to speak
Or the layers of foundation they smear on their faces

Sleep
Cluttered thoughts sweep
Through my mind
Chasing sleep
Away from me
Glow Nov 2017
Mist
Cool whisps
Caress your face
And chase
The the fever away
A brief respite
Lasting only the night
Fading away
At dawn's first light

To the men in red and blue
Who fought in the ****** snows of Valley Forge
To protect our fledgling country
And her right to fly free
Thank You

To the men in olive green
Who sat in the red-mud trenches of France and Germany
Who in protecting our own freedom
Gave the world back hers
Twice
Thank You

To the men in leafy green
Who ran through the forests of Vietnam
Dodging bullets from every side
And even though many at home didn't
Some of us say
Thank You

To the men in dusty brown
Who patrol the roads of Afghanistan and Iraq
Sometimes never to return
Thank You

You have given your hearts
You have given your courage
You have given your lives
And all we can do in return
Is say
Thank You

There once was a man
Who wore pantaloons
His exotic tastes also
Included baboons
He took them to the city
To make them look pretty
Now he's locked up with the loons
Glow Oct 2017
Lies are like a drug
Taste one you want more
They're a sweet toxic demise
Of the worst kind
That destroys everything you love
While slowly destroying you
