Honor

What is the term honor

Honor for achievement

Honor for the moment

Honor for what reasons

What earns honor and distinguishment

I am certain that it is not a light word

Should be dispersed with great review

Discussion

Honor the people

Who honor this country

Not those who run loose

For when it is honor given

We hope not to lose

Certain now

That honor itself has become a point of confusion

Amusement

What honorable actions happened today

For such a reaction

Temerity of Winter

Incoming nights rain

Late April showers

Coming down like baseballs of ice

Slamming the grounds

Sprinkling a tap dance sound

All around

Tonight at winter makes a temerity

Run reckless and shrewd

Under a spring moon

Blowing wind in from the Great Lakes

While we wait

For the power to stay on

Ill-Fated Truck

Ill-fated truck

On a late night run

Blowing through the red light

Light posts undone

The hum of the blown engine

On the side of the road

One second notice

A repeating note

The world and it purveyors

On the streets tonight

Underneath the crashed post

Right by the trucks side

Short of Glory

Lights on the scene

Lights unseen

Halo burned out and smoking

Guns held up

Stoking

The national conversation and call

A tenuous decision

To watch it unfold

Is like watching old food

Grow mold

Another day

Another story

Words fall short from glory

 

Consequences

Thorough decisions

Consequences

Lack of precision

Hopeful feelings

Lost in translation

Hard to lay brick

With no foundation

Meaning or purpose

How can we know the truth

When money follows lies

Lies for money

Are alive and well

How could we tell

This was the end game 

The ultimate decision

One loses

On wins

And it all begins

Again 

A Word of Concern

To all it may concern

There is no concern

From me

In uncertain times followed by

Racketing horns

There is no word of concern

Only words are the words

Flying from the horns

On top of the sky

On the bottom of the ocean

The words are submerged

Deep

Far away

Planet B

How could this be

The truth and I agree

There is no planet B

No do over

Mulligan or retry

We have to make what we have

Work

Agree to disagree

But mother nature will always be

And should be

Our top priority

Current sacrifice

Rather than living from a vice

Over consumption

Is our most destructive

Assumption

That is not alright and good

We must live the way we should

Treat this world with respect

Dignity

That is truly

The way it should be
