I keep my life in boxes, neatly labeled and arranged
Here's the box I have for you, no surprise, it's named deranged
Michael Murphy Dec 2015
Come live right here in my magical village
Everything in abundance, so no need to pillage

You'll see that there's more than you ever will need
So no need for money, and no need for greed

All the food you can eat, or drink if you please
All the shelter you want, so you never will freeze

All the *** that you crave, love the birds and the bees
**** robots provide, and they're free of disease

We don't allow violence, evil doers beware
Sentry robots galore, ensuring your care

If drugs are your pleasure, use the ones we supply
They're clean and they're measured to ensure you don't die

We suggest that you work 20 hours or less
Still having a purpose we find it works best

There's no one that governs, restricting your choice
So do as you please, it's time to rejoice

Just one simple rule, and I'll tell it to you
"Do no harm!!"
Stick to that rule, pretend that it's glue

No hurting the fish or the animals here
No hurting each other not even a hair

Break that one rule and you'll leave us that day
By our sentry robot, promptly taken away!
Argh! I tried to buy beer at 7 am, but there is a law against buying it before 8!   Makes me crazy!  Just sitting in a room thinkin dumb things up so they keep their job!  I want my own country! Jimmy Buffett has it right!

Our lips first touch, so sweet, so tender
Fulfilling dreams, my Angel's render

I breathe out, you breathe in
Now it's me, you feel within

Feel the warmth, my soul exude
Drink the love, my heart has brewed

Get lost in me, I'm lost in you
Old world gone, we're born anew

Chewing words, this one's sweet, look a sentence, more to eat

Crunching nouns, I love the sounds

Grinding pronouns into grounds

My favorite words are adjectives, like herbs they're flavor additives

Conjunctions help to bind the meal

Verbs now helping chew with zeal

Not sure I can articulate how much I love what I just ate!
egg
inspired by
Lidi Minuet
and her poem
"HATCH"


I found an egg of crystal
it had a little crack
though beautiful as opals
integrity it lacked

I asked the Lord to help me
"whatever should I do?"
He told me to go and plant it
when the day was new

and so I looked for soil
but no soft could be found
so I planted my wee egg
in hard, forbidding
ground

I watered it with tears
for others suffering lack
and after a little while
the ground
began to
crack!

a tentative green sprout
pushed up its tender head
it grew up from the rocky ground
I had thought so dead!

I continued watering
I knew naught else to do
and a tulip flower appeared
the lightest
eggshell blue!

I watered then in earnest!
I wanted for to see
that flower strong and healthy
and what it'd bloom to be!

slowly the petals opened
and lo! there fast emerged
a'singing and a'fluttering
a little crystal bird!

out of the light blue flower
the creature dipped and soared
it was then I realized
my hope had been restored!

flying 'round my head
its feathers sent off light
as brilliant as a diamond
shattering the night

it was only then I realized
as the darkness fell apart
the soil was life's hardships
and the
egg
had been my

HEART**

I know every trouble i experience
now is nothing compared
to the joy of God.

I must remember that
JOY

J esus
O thers
    Y ourself

Oh, the fertile mind of a child, plant a thought and watch it grow wild

So much to explore, and they always want more, with such vigor, which leaves me beguiled

Tend it well, give it light, plant good seeds, keep it bright,
most of all keep it safe from the prey

Using love as the feed, it is all that you need to keep it warm at the end of the day!
