Needs and Wants (3/20/10)
To live in a society of want
Requires all to suppress their deepest needs;
While those around us act so nonchalant,
We rush and scramble to gather our seeds;
Look at the glowing glamorous glory
And the flashy fame and fearless fortune
That the vain tell as part of their story
Which reveals that their journey has begun;
Toward their greatest wants they swiftly rush
And leave behind necessities of life;
Away in the water the needs will flush
While on dry land the wants will cause much strife;
What you want is not always what you need
Because in the end life is what we bleed.
Destinations (4/9/10)
I am going away for a long while,
But I did not
want to leave you behind;
The last
thing that you gave me was a smile,
But you will
always linger in my mind.
We humans
are so breakable and hurt
With the
thought that we must leave from this place
And journey
on a path with different dirt
To arrive at
an unfamiliar face.
Why must I
be volatile and fragile
Enough to
choose to abandon my love?
The dreams I
had once wanted to fulfill
Are left
alone in a blank head above.
After we
forever on the earth roam,
We
will finally reach a happy home.
New World (8/27/10)
The sky turned gray and the clouds grew yellow
While she ambled through bald and barren streets;
At the final crossroads stood a fellow
Who swiftly gathered unwanted receipts,
Purposely discarded by the Wastefuls
And left to be picked up by Survivors
Of the dreadful day. Gone were Distastefuls
Who abused and ignored faithful Drivers;
The woman approached the hard-working man
As he directed his focus to waste;
She whispered to him, “A New World began
The day of the destruction we all faced.”
Instantly enlightened, he delighted,
New
possibilities he had sighted.
I hope you enjoyed those! Have a great day and live life!
