yikes venezuela
double yikes for red china
lost their human's rights

corrupt governments
pillaging their own people
with just signs to fight

they let it happen
trusting in greedy humans
no one else to blame

lessons never learned
our founding fathers teachings
history repeats

lithium mines
earthly sores bleeding ore
for electric rides

It takes me longer
slowly working to your goal
age does have it's perks

the air between us
fills with anticipation
as the heat rises

saw this cross last night
safely sleeping in my bed
God's little blessings

long waiting shadow
looms ever larger now
youthful light fades

you make my heart ache
sweetest, deepest, truest pain
loving you just hurts

traffic flowing south
while northern geese point away
the quiets coming

dark clouds loom
promising bad news
not yet known

critical thinkers
diamonds lost in thoughtless rough
humanity wanes

tides' slow rise
catch you by surprise
how time flys
