I strongly fear
that I might not be able to continue
the remainder of this next chapter
of my journey on willpower alone

It not enough

I need a committed partner ship

You know I do*

Without it my value system,
code of ethics, morals
and overall sanity
flies out the window

I'm at my breaking point here

I know you could make it happen
if you really wanted to

Please

I urge you to consider my plea
and act accordingly

Thank you for your time

Brief brief!
The clock is a thief
it takes and it takes
all your days, minutes, weeks!

Last I remember
I was still just a boy
playing on swings
and screaming for joy

Now work and bill paying
fills my day, noon & night
grey hairs and back aches
fill my mind up with fright

So....

PLEASE

don't be wasteful
heed this message, dear friends
enjoy life to the fullest
from beginning to end

Brief brief!
The clock is a thief
so don't live with regrets
....
let them go...
...
See?
...
Relief ;-)

Grinch grinch
You are my to command!
You're the foulest creature in all of the land

From far east to west
you scurry about
looking to quench
that insatiable drought

Yet this drought is not real
I'm afraid to report
this invisible scarcity
only serves to distort

Oh Grinch, fair Grinch
you are bound to your ends
I do hope that perhaps one day
you and me can be friends

There's a tree by the edge of a cliff
Where ol Donald sits and wonders what if
should he jump to his death
he's got nothing left
but to hope that his end come quite swift

The sound of the traffic at that hour was completely deafening

She tried to pick herself up
but couldn't

After a few minutes she finally managed to lift herself up
Bruised and bleeding, she limped over to the curb nearby

"Fractured arm, for sure" she thought as she looked around for her phone

She'd been using it only moments before the accident
She spotted it in the middle of the intersection

Crushed into oblivion
  
The car that hit her was long gone
She was lucky to be alive...

Always...
ALWAYS...
Keep both ears wide open...
*And never ignore what you hear...

They never spoke

Both usually arrived at the coffee shop around the same time

Those hours right before the sun arose to share its brilliance with the world

For weeks they would always be the only two people in there that early

One brisk morning the old man glanced over his steaming cup
and spoke to the young man

He looked him dead in his eyes...

Always...
ALWAYS...
keep both eyes wide open
And never ignore what you see

The very next day the old man never arrived

He never saw him again...

Last night  I arrived at the ghastly conclusion
that our species really might be quite doomed

We **** and we pillage for fun, yes we do
and we won't quit until our planet is ruined

I had wished and had hoped
that our kind might make haste
To make world hunger a thing of the past

But alas it won't happen
well just keep on consuming
until our beautiful home is turned to ash

This is an ode to my brothers & sisters
who valiantly tried to save us from ourselves
Although the efforts were noble,
we were doomed from the start,
so I guess we'll see you in hell
