The rally cry of the tired
A worthy cause flamed out with vigor
Passing floating rolling
I have tried
To do good
Good to be undone
So much has to rely on a rally cry
When your tired
And lonely
Not alone
You feel sad
Disconnected from the world
How did it work out not the way it was
All planned
A plane in flight unmanned
The plane now is in the final descent
It will land
How
Unknown
But through all of this
I
We
Have grown
Grown up
So here we come
‘Up, one, two, three…”
Rest
I wonder how long I can do this
Just maintain
Sustain a healthy life
What about my career
Am I headed in the right direction
Ah f*ck directions
‘Up, one, two, three…”
Rest
I wonder if we will make rent this week
Can we afford to get some food tonight
I am sure we will be alright
Last time I checked we were
‘Up, one, two, three…”
Rest
I can’t believe how sore I am today
Walking over 5 miles a day
It’s a little much
To work and play
But I am tough
I am a New Yorker
‘Up, one, two, three”
Rest
4 workouts in a weeks
Trying to keep my body in peak shape
Just for the strength I need
To carry on life
To make progess where I thought
I could make none
Back
‘Up, one, two, three…”
Well I got started a little late. But I know that if I put my followers of my blog on it… We will take this thing by storm!! Well… I think… haha 😉 I just put this together for fun as a way to document some of my work over the past couple of months. Needless to say – I am proud of it. Thanks for being there with me – and here is to many more poems songs and moments! Cheers!
Oh Florida
Are we really selfish from conception
We asks our mothers to give us life
From the moment of our inception
Taking nutrients blood and life
From deep inside
Of our mothers belly
Asking for oxygen and food
To be taken care of
Regardless of her mood
There is no waiting in beginning
Asking asking asking
Wondering how we will survive
How will our mothers keep us alive
So it makes me wonder
Was I born selfish
Is human nature itself intrinsically selfish
To take rather than to give
Is that the way we begin to live
I understand that life is freely given
By the one who creates us
Whether it be god you believe
Or the forces of nature
It has no relevance in this conversation
I want to ask
Are you selfish
Wanting a life to live and food to eat
Is that the core of the selfish life
Or is it pure survival instincts
We surely cannot sustain life without
It is our job then to destroy selfishness
In the end
To see it’s light burnt out
Dedicated to the last cause
Very devout
People begin
Some grow
Emotionally
Some grow
Old
Some grow
Selfish
Some grow
Cold
We may be born to our selfish ways
As we grow old it is our responsibility
To shed the selfish life for independence
Dignity and responsibility
And that is the way it should be
