Mr Life
I’ve got plans
Things to do
Things to see
Don’t want to be
An also ran
I’m depressed
Getting stressed
Because of you
You get in the way
Each and every day
I reach up to the skies
But it comes as no surprise
When I come tumbling down
And as I hit the ground
There you are you rascal you
No wonder I feel blue
If you want trouble and strife
Why don’t you get yourself a wife?

Once upon a time, there was a little me
A courageous little dude that caught a bee
It buzzed, and buzzed in the jar
It buzzed and buzzed till it fell onto the floor
The jar broke and it flew right out the door
I tried to catch but it was too fast
I chased it on my bicycle till my tire burst
Watched it fly higher than a kite
It flew far out of sight
I couldn't catch the bee
And again it was just lonely me
She is the bee and I the catcher, hoping to be, I let go just to hold on

Tick tick tick
Tock tock tock
Tick tock tick tock
The sound of a clock
The unstoppable movement of time
It keeps moving forward
It never goes backwards
If only we can turn back time
Undo the bad things that happened to us
Unfortunately we can't
We can't stop time
Time is a force to be reckoned with
Time is of the essence
Tick
Tock

Truth is crystal clear and whole
Liars break it, just look at the last four years in the United States
Remember and protect History
Learn ,review, and move forward
There are three sides to a story Yours, Theirs, and the Truth
Together we accomplish
Divided we crumble
Check your prejudices at the door and throw the key away
Social media and news go so far
Read a book, magazine, or do research so you are current and up to date on information
Relying elsewhere goes no where fast
If we can write about it then we need to know all we can
That is Poetic Justice
We are a Democracy
The man with a fake tan belongs in an orange jumpsuit with his cronies
Are you listening New York or Georgia?
Rudy got his!

This is the tightrope we
are so privileged
to dance on, my dear
as we tarry on the line
between danger and grace.

Rows of bright
red roses

violets tulips
or tomatoes turnips

and carrots
too

in brown loamy
soil

is there structure
or is it a pallet

of assorted
smudges

grays
or flash and colors

Giverny
or a Victory Garden

we are
what we cultivate

and what and who
we feed

A word painting with a straightforward message.
Disconnected IS
the new connect
the dreams you wrecked
the miles you trekked
the fecks you've given
disconnect
is the heaven we were
waiting for,

I've checked it and it's true
blue is the new eight ball,
fall and we rise with stars
where our eyes used to be,

failure is the common theme
the *******
that primal scream
your
monsters become friends,
time lends a hand by striking up
a marching band,

are you disconnected now?
please wait,
we will answer your call.
