POEMS & FLEETING THOUGHTS: CONFUSION
THE PAST AND PRESENT
I recall the little boy
Full of hope
And no one
To give him
Guidance.
Thoughts beyond
His young mind
Could not understand.
He became a man
And as in his youth
There are no answers.
POEMS & FLEETING THOUGHTS
THE SECRET MESSAGE
I know I promised to return to the art of writing, but thoughts and life interfere.
Life
We settle
For the superficial,
That is what we are taught,
What we are trained to accept,
But those
Who think beyond,
Pondering their existence,
Pondering questions
Their life does not fulfill
Risk madness,
Or perhaps,
True happiness.
OUR NATION’S HEART WEEPS
I hesitate to write this piece. Knowing human nature I am sure many will write articles about the tragedy in Los Vegas to express sorrow but a hidden reason, perhaps hidden from themselves, is to draw attention. With this in mind I write this article, not to draw attention but to voice an attitude I don’t understand. Therefore, I am not including any taglines for this piece. I don’t
When Sandy Hook occurred resulting in the death of twenty six and seven year olds, I thought things may finally change. That the nation would wake up to a wrong some hold dear. I have nothing against hunting. But who hunts with a semi-automatic weapon. Handguns are used to protect one’s family. But who needs a semi-automatic pistol to protect that family. I don’t understand how anyone can purchase a mass amount of weapons and not raise a red flag.
As I hear the numbers of fatalities I think this is not a shooting, this is the result of a plane crash. Then when I hear the number of fatalities and wounded, I think, this is not a shooting, this is on the level of a natural disaster. Unfortunately, this disaster is all too natural in our country.
OBSERVATIONS AND OPINIONS
I fear our species
Is an experiment
To be eliminated
From our precious planet,
Greed and denial
Are the culprits,
Religions encourage
Our destruction,
Our mindset
Offers no help,
Our fate is sealed.
OBSERVATIONS & OPINIONS
What is happening in Houston few of us will never comprehend unless we experience such a disaster. There are so many stories that need to be told, here are some.
OBSERVATIONS & OPINIONS
HARVEY
I know I promised to begin posts about writing which is the purpose of this blog. But my mind is ready to explode with what is happening to this country. Please forgive me for venting some pressure.
I have read stories of those who died trying to help relatives and friends during Hurricane Harvey. These are the true Americans, not the ones gaining exposure on the news with acts not even close to what this country was meant to represent.
Those who gave their lives for others with no want for publicity are more worthy of our attention and praise then those who represent everything this country is not.
HOPE
No matter how this county is fuc#ed up, there is still hope.
Americans still care for each other even if those who pull the strings of our lives don’t.
OBSERVATIONS & OPINIONS
It is getting tiring.
I have no doubt this will be labeled ‘fake news’. All I can say is that our nation is in trouble.
