08/13/15 Meteor Shower
C Allen Hall Aug 2015
Stars are falling from the heavens
tonight in the desert
One every minute
sometimes two
Streaking like bullets
Shot from a hot cannon
Beautiful
But seems dangerous
Earth dancing through a wave
Of rocks
Floating through space
falling faster than sound
Billion year old stones
Meeting their end
It was good run
Lucky to have lasted this long
what do they carry with them?
Water, metal, gems, microbes
Creation and death
Going hand in hand
Amazing!
the power
The cycle
the life
The death
Natural delivery system
beautiful
exceptional
pure
Real
Fast and to the point

Remembering T.S. Eliot
C Allen Hall Aug 2015
Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom

Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow
Life is very long

Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom

For Thine is
Life is
For Thine is the

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

Trump Haiku
C Allen Hall Aug 2015
Oh My! Donald Trump
You sure are a ****** nozzle
Please jump off a cliff
C Allen Hall Aug 2015
Once we lived a dream
Providing the world with imagination
A place where everyone came
To expand their expectations
Now the dream is over
Nothing is left to bare
Once providing imagination
Now only nightmares.

Kings and Paupers
C Allen Hall Aug 2015
Kings and Paupers share the same fate
buried in the same fields
together standing at heavens gate.

Praise all the kings who stashed away
drowning all the poor men
dying with debt to pay.

One will cross to the other side
royalty bellowing in the flame
nowhere else you can hide
there's only you and shame.

So take this bit of good levity
treating all people the same
extra money goes to charity
your the only one to blame.

— The End —
