Sometimes the real strength lies in stepping away,
  
Letting others wander, to find their own way.  

Caring isn't always a hand to hold tight,  
But the quiet surrender, the fading from sight.  

To let them stumble, to watch them fall,  
Is not weakness it’s love, after all.

Witness without judgment, without a word,  
A silent support that can’t always be heard.  

It’s hard to let go when the urge is to fix,  
But sometimes the lesson is learned through the mix.

In the stillness, we trust, and we see,  
That love often lives in letting them be.
MetaVerse Aug 4
Repair the world that's broke n with a wrench,
For never can't a fixer.  Can't afford
To fix a mental meaning with a *****,
Though all the world's a floor of concrete poured.
Restore the restoration of the world,
And everything returns to right its place:
The lone construction worker spins betwirled
With bluebirds singing friendly in the face.
Time flies, and so do flying jəllyfish.
Since tempos fugue it, carp the dying day.
Go find a star and make a walrus wish
That aliens would dress away the gray.
The grass is greener if the other side
Where gerbils love and noon has never died.

This humble pie
Is more like a shiit sandwich on rye
With a side of sty
Now there's a plank firmly implanted in each pink eye
Life's painful, but I'm suppose to be too mocho to cry
No one knows how many times I've wanted to die
Or the number of times I gave it a good ol' college try
Who do you think I am... no really, who am I
I think I'm my own stories fall guy
Fall back on the lie
That I can fix it all with a slipknot neck tie
What's more influential? Good or evil
In my experience it's surely a tie
But between you and I
The devil has more pull that the "infallible" eye in the sky
Call 'em both out, see who stops by
Or even bothers to reply
My money's on the pitchfork guy

You can try to fix it
Or just live with it
But dont fix it
Til its damaged

Carbon steel can be easily damaged.  The human heart is so much more fragile.
Good "life" analogy.

Problem is small
Its solution is smaller,
But we can't fix it,
We know
now there's no point
in solving it.

People notice.
Their eyes and minds,
Focused on you.
Like a street lamp,
Judgment flickers,
Off and on.
You have a reason
That I understand?
No judgement.
You have an excuse
That I can't relate to?
Fix yourself.
Work on yourself.
Blame yourself.
Shape yourself.
Wait.

You are not broken.
There is nothing to fix.
You are whole as you are.
Like Kintsugi
You put yourself back together.
More beautiful than you
Ever were.
I have been taking care of myself for the past 23 years. I am no longer accepting life advice from anyone who believes I'm a project to fix.

It seems crazy
To change something
Thats working
The horse and buggy
Was working
It seemed crazy
To stop using that

But then they
developed the car and..
Well that destroyed the planet..

So that's a bad example

You
When will the suffering stop
Will it end when you come back
Or will someone else show me the way out
I truly am chasing pavements

Now I Really Hate To Say This...
But A Lot of People Now...
Need A SERIOUS Fix... !!!

And I’m NOT Talking About...
Those That Give Dope HITS... !!!

Cos' Most Seem To Need SLAPS...
That Dish Out... REAL FACTS... !!!

Because Our Human Kind...
Seems Unable To Find...
The Way To The Light...

And Is Now Losing Sight...
of What's Wrong And What's Right...

And Now Prefer To Fight...
Rather Than To... UNITE... ?!?

So Racism Is Still...
Something That Chills...
And Needs To Find A FIX...
Where PERMANENCE Lives... !!!

But That’s NOT A Place...
That... REALLY Exists... !!!

Where Fixes Made...
Are Things That Stay...

So Don’t Think That Brexit'...
Is The The Type of Thing...
That Will Work For Brits...
Like... Fish And Chips... !!!

In Fact It Seems Fish...
Were … Somehow Linked...
To This Deal That Links...
Itself To STINKS...
Like Those In Politics...
Who Are Now Just British... !!!

... The Fix Is IN... !!!

Like The Type of Sins...
That Religions Bring...
To... Innocent Kids... !!!

I’ve Got A Fix For The Heads...
of... Religious Sects...
Whose Leaders Are Men...
Who Choose To Protect...
Their ******* Friends...

Who Are Like Regiments...
of Those We Call Feds'...

Who Have NO GOOD DEFENCE...
For How They Cause Deaths...
When It Comes To Blacks...
Who Are Prone To Attacks...
Like Those That Happen...
From This Breed of KAREN’s... !!!

White Chicks Who Need A Fix...
Cos Their Attitudes Stink...
When Their Racism Leads...
To Attacking Black Teens...

Over Losing... I-Phones...
And Blacks Being TOO CLOSE...
To Dogs They Let ROAM..............

As If These **’s... OWN...
The Whole God ****** World... !?!

Just Like Miss Ponsetto'...
Whose Now Had To Go...
To Face The Police...
Because of The Way...
She Treated A KID... !!!

But How She Behaved...
Needs A Fix That Makes...
Karens Think About Things...
BEFORE Being RACIST... !!!

Cos Their Reactions Seem...
To LACK... Humility... !!!

Like Their APOLOGIES... !!!

And That’s A PROBLEM...
That Has NO Defence...

Just Like Capitol Hill...
Against Those Who Filled...
It’s Halls With Calls...
For A Vote Recall... !!!

Because of The DON...
Weren’t These Rioters Wrong... !?!

Shouldn’t They Have Been Stopped...
By... Washington’s Cops... !?!

Well It Would Seem... NOT... ?!?

But Now America’s Shocked...
Because The Hill Got Rocked...
By An... IGNORANT MOB... !!!

Did The Cops Get LOST... !?!
Or Was This All A PLOT...

To Creative A Diversion...
From People Observing...
What’s REALLY Going On...
A... Political CON... !?!

Well No-One Really Knows...
Except Those In CONTROL... !!!

But Some ARE Now Asking... !

What’s Really The Fix...
For This Corona Thing... ?

Keeping Masks On... ?
Or Locking Down Zones...
To Keep People In Homes...
As If That Will Stop...
The Spread of A Flu...
That Is Claimed To Be NEW... ?!?

I Don’t Know About You...
But Much Like Todays News... !?!

Things Just Do NOT Ring True... ?!?

About What Is Viewed...
By Government Crews...
As What We Should Do...
To Make This Flu Cool...
So We Can Get BACK To... !!!

A World WITHOUT Rules...
Like Those Now Being Used... !!!

When NO Vaccine YET...
Has Proven To PREVENT...
How This Infection Spreads... !?!

Or To Be One That CURES...
Because It ASSURES...
An Efficiency Rate...
That's A Hundred Per Cent...
Because NOT One Can Claim...
That It Will Be PERFECT... !!!

And Come On...........
When It Comes To All The Politics...
Surrounding This Thing...
That’s Making Folks Sick...

Some Things Being CLAIMED...
In A Lot of These Quotes...
From Political Folks...
Clearly Are Those...
That Seem To BROKE...

So Are NOT Those Equipped...
To Extinguish This Thing... !!!
In Ways That Could Be...
Deemed To Be Positive... !!!

So I’ll Now End This Script...
With These Simple Lyrics...
That I Really Do Think...
People Should Not Dismiss... !!!

Are We Now Being Tricked...
Into... INJECTING Things...
Like DOPE Heads Needing Hits...

Cos’ The PROBLEM Is THIS...
ALL These Problems Exist...
Because What We Resist...

Is Accepting That We...
Should REJECT Politics... !!!

Because Now Humans Need...
Some... TRUTHFUL Leadership...
And An... AUTHENTIC...

............. “ FIX “...........
It's pretty clear that beyond the virus, humanity right about now is like the poem says, in need of one.
