In relationship troubles
Wish you had a stand in double?
People will make their own assumptions
See your marriage flooded with infection;
Window shopping
Gossip dropping;
What you see isn’t always what is
When you open a bottle of wine does it always fizz?
Life is not what it seems
Until you get behind the scenes.
Month: March 2020
THE WINDOW TOSS
Carry your burdens on your chest
Never get a fruitful rest?
Can’t get to Sleepy Heaven
Because they are bothering twenty-four seven?
Money running out
Want to run to the highest mountain and shout?
Just take it for a ride
Don’t allow your fear to guide;
Do the window toss
Show it who’s boss!
TELL ME WHEN
Daddy are you there?
I’ve been looking for you everywhere;
The deep heartache of it all
You decided to leave during nightfall;
You left me high and dry
You didn’t even say, “goodbye;”
At times my life needs some balance
I still need your parental guidance;
You departed when I was in my mid twenties
Since then I’ve missed you plenty;
Now I’m part of the senior parade
I’ve lived a life of six decades;
Tell me when
Daddy I can see you again;
To look into your beautiful hazel eyes
Feel you wipe away the tears I cry;
At times I smell the scent of your cigar
Are you looking at me from afar?
Are you floating among the clouds so blue?
Daddy I can’t see you.
GOOD GRIEF!
In disbelief
All I can say is good grief!
At times Leaders
Become everyday bottom feeders;
No ABC recalls
Dollar signs embedded in their eyeballs;
When we put our lives in the hands of a reality star
We can’t expect to go very far;
Money over mortality
A human abnormality;
Disregarding the pressing issue at hand
A Pandemic that full attention demands;
Amped up is human affliction
Take away all quarantine restrictions?
Multiple daily casualties
Where is your fountain of reality?
For this Question Mark Pete
Has created a world of pure deceit
As human life has taken a back seat.
A POWDER KEG
The deadly chill
A child that was deathly ill;
Slow your roll
To the smother mother patrol;
Pushed and shoved
Bullied by the ones I was suppose to love;
To not follow the loon
Instead choosing to dance to my own tune;
Cast out
What’s that all about?
Living in a powder keg
Treated as if I was the plague;
Walking on hot coals
It’s taken a toll;
Rub a dub-dub
I’m given the stink face snub;
Like a chicken that’s been fried
My life has been a wild ride;
All the negativity has ceased
Whereas I have found my happiness and inner peace;
Thanks for your Peanut Gallery removal
As I am not here for your approval!
SHINE
(Good Day. Around the world our Sunday Services have been cancelled due to this viral outbreak. I ask that you keep your God within your heart. Never cease praying for it is the peace that we all need during this time of uncertainty. God Bless You all and be safe.)
Do you wake up sappy
Are you constantly unhappy?
Are you in immediate strife?
Is your life just not right?
Is the beautiful rose
Ready to foreclose?
Do you need to reroot
Life reboot?
Full of personal turmoil
Plant yourself in a fresh pot of soil;
Take flight
Surround yourself in the nourishing sunlight;
Stop the tug
Give yourself a gigantic hug;
Unwind
No more poor me pity time;
Cut the ties that bind
You are a child of the Great Divine
It’s your time to shine.
PAPER DOLLS
Heed the family protocols
No flaw paper dolls;
In a straight row
Overlooking their shadow;
Cookie cutter banners
Twin manners;
Off kilter
They have mouths with no filter;
Unbelievably
Harsh with insensitivity;
Ice cold veins
Overactive brains;
Selfish views
Short fuse;
Down right mean
Confidence bursting at the seams;
Evasive
Non persuasive;
Duplicated carbon copy
A little more than cocky;
It’s no joke
These are real kinfolk.
DOES ANYTHING MATTER?
Ugly reality
Loads of insanity
Multiple fatality;
Tear rain
Pain train;
Human loss
Spirits in exhaust;
What gives you the right
To tell people they must end their fight?
To live in despair
Take away the fresh air;
Mind scatter
Lives shattered
Does anything matter?
DON’T TRY
Greed
The bad seed;
Poison salmon
Plagues and famine;
Financial hole
Situation out of control;
Last breaths
Thousands of deaths;
Scrambling
No cure gambling;
In crowds with no consideration
The younger generation;
He is never far
God continues to drive this car;
Things happen, only He knows why
You’ll never figure it out, so don’t even try.
THIS IS JUST A TEST
“THEREFORE SHALL HER PLAGUES COME IN ONE DAY, DEATH AND MOURNING, AND FAMINE; AND SHE SHALL BE UTTERLY BURNED WITH FIRE FOR STRONG [IS] THE LORD GOD WHO JUDGETH HER.” Revelations 18:8
Are we actually close to the End Times? In my opinion I think we may have a while left to go. This is just a miniscule part of what’s to come. Like your local television broadcast station says, “This is just a test.” The million dollar question is, “Are we passing, or failing miserably?”
In this time of uncertainty, we can open our eyes to see what we are made of. In adversity, there are caring individuals as well as those who are only out for Number One, themselves. The Number One’s are those who purchase in high quantities to hoard for their own use, or for possible price gouging. The caring and considerate take only what they can use and leave the remainder for others. Which one are you?
We are being attacked by an invisible adversary. Therefore we are ordered to social distance and self quarantine. There are some people who aren’t adhering to this request. To those I ask that you please take this pandemic seriously. As a result of this virus, people are dying. Please be considerate of your fellow man. For those of you who are, Thank you and God Bless You,
My condolences go out to those who have lost their loved ones from this deadly virus. May the Peace of your Creator be with you always.
By now some of us have become stir crazy. With fear boggling our minds, we don’t know what to do with ourselves. It may be time to test your creativity. Who doesn’t love music? We all have a favorite genre. Listen to the music of your choice and just dance. Dance like this is your last opportunity. You can also stroll down memory lane and recall all of the happier times in your life. There are also board games to be played. Or you can catch up on the episodes of your favorite television shows. Most importantly, keep in contact via FaceTime with your loved ones. That is the best medicine of all.
It’s a new dawn and a new day. Who would have ever dreamed we’d be under self quarantine?
