Waiting Game

Waiting

Whats worth waiting

Idealism

Perfectionism

Procrastination

How can you win the waiting game

The hope for another day

Push away

What needs to be done now

Instead, opt to bow out

Fall away

While others lead the way

My friends who wait

Never seem to make it

Never seem to get ahead

They are just going to wait

Maybe until they are dead

 

How Could You

The great descent

Indecent

Sad and true

Lonely

Ruled

How can this agony be true

What happened to the old 

Red

White

And blue

History in motion

Terrible ideals 

Now in light display

If we make it through

The next generation will say

How could you

How could you

Trust Us

Trust us

The people

The workers

Bakers

Musicians

Let trust run in the people

Not the controller

The ruler

In the everyday 

Neighbor 

Let’s trust one another

Stop the clutter

And trust 

Each other

Yesterday’s Wars

We can’t talk about yesterday

When the vitals 

Are happening right now

In the moment

When the words fall short

No returning to precious fair

Previous affairs

I hold concern for the current

Not the past

But words craft

A simple talking point

When the conversations been lost

How we spend time

Dwelling on

Yesterday’s wars

When tomorrow’s are

Sitting on our front door

Back to Words

Back to Words

Renewed and new

Old and worn

Planted and grew

I refresh in a new 

Set of words

Tied in meaning

And time

I return to Words

In search of rhyme

Chaos Control 

Let the trolls

Roll

Let the birds

Fly upon them

I am sick of lies

Sick of tails

Tired of being the end 

Of the joke

Let the chaos control

Roll out

On the world
