Off We Go

Foreign roads

Lead to treacherous results

What is known is more unknown

Facts are no longer facts

Fiction and fantasy

All intertwined sarcastically

What is literal

The truth

Tied up

Dropped to the bottom of the ocean blue

We have to decide and research

It’s now up to me and you

Hard Power

What in the world

Strength throw dumbbells curled

Javelin hurled

Bench press thrust

Is this a must

Such poor word selection

Power hard

Fast and furious

This leaves more to be curious

Than resolved

Our new mantra to be debated

While people in our country are confiscated

Why such ignorance and clamor

Why the subtle glamor

Celebrating the courageous politicians

Who are much more to be pitied

With blame

 

What We Lose

What we lose

And what we gain

It’s all part of the game

How we take it

What we take away

Who are the refs

And how do we play

How many players

How many shots

Whether we play in the cold

Or play in the hot

How many balls

How many strokes

What types of games

Fit what type of folks

No one decision maker

Gets the sole power to command us all

Destroy us all

What we gain

And what we lose

I guess its up to me and you

Blues Walking Shoes

Tune out the news

Blues walking shoes

Vacate twitter

What happens when we decide

To take growth 

Over whither

Return my life to its original place

Before the trace

Of overbearing promises

Fights and rejections

My God

The insurmountable resurrections

With a flick of a switch it was gone

Life was back

Life was back

How Friendships Change

Friend and moments

Time and history

What changes ahead and lies behind

Can be one great mystery

From meeting to realizing

From analyzing to growing

Friendships have a way of outlasting

While the mind keeps going

But at some point distance can be too great

Challenges and differences to obtuse

That is when some friends just have

To cut loose

But friendships change as do all living creatures

If history be true

This surely it will teach us

Strangers in Their Own Land

Strange feelings amongst the regulars

Uneasy thoughts run through worried minds

Somehow what we once knew

What we now know

Is crossed quickly

As a very fine line

No one human can erase loving heart

Who have created a better hope

For us to believe in

Through thick and thin

No man or woman

Should ever feel a stranger

On their own land
