Every week we meet.
Vans apart socially distanced.
Wrapped in blankets.
Warm socks in the boots.
Today will test our fortitude.
True friendship knows no bounds.
Also coffee!
Tasteless
A cruel joke
who doesn’t care.
Now it is
a reality.
A symptom
of our society.
Pandemic induced
and politically endorsed.
Can’t Sleep
She woke up.
So now I’m awake.
She will get into things
if left unsupervised.
Now I need to nap.
Why won’t she go back to sleep?!
When work needs work
Looking for a job requires energy
and commitment.
Going to interviews, even on line
requires patience and confidence.
Acquiring the longed for paycheck
takes diligence and determination.
What happens
when you have nothing to give?
You work on yourself
before you can work for others.
Aftermath
How do you talk to them?
What response is appropriate?
People have been hurt.
The victim most of all.
We all are victims of this crime.
Still the one hurting the most
is the one most will blame.
Dumb down, gullible, idiot child.
Disabilities do not define him
yet that is still how everyone sees him.
Drama and Trust
Jewelry taken.
Sentimental only.
Fear overrides logic.
Police visited.
Threats from the scammer.
Potential to lose everything.
For his sake I will stay.
He was not in his right mind.
Forgiveness is easy to give.
Loss of trust?
Situation dramatic.
Family is everything.
Money is not.
Life will go on.
Gear Marching
A fashion look.
All the nuts together.
Bolts run wild.
Wheels are cogged.
Step by wrenching step.
Time for the thingamabob to its job!
Weaponized Hatred Destruction System
Propaganda machines.
Televised recordings.
Misinformation proceedings.
Pamphlets of demonocracy.
Spreading division amongst us.
Emphasizing the wrongs
when they know it is right.
Disunity is their heaven
and one which we all have to live with.
Give me the red button.
I will press it and hope our world does not self destruct.
The Waiting Game
To be or not to be
Patient.
That is the question
which makes the game so questionable?
When life gives us lemons
whose lemonade do you wish to drink?
The bitter sour kind
or the one sweetened with kindness and respect?
We all get angry
and have the right to do so.
Just remember
that not everyone is deserving of it.
Give the good
Fight for what is right.
Believe in the truth.
Trust those who accept their share of the blame.
Anyone who refuses to see the facts
will also refuse to see you as a person.
Be the one who forgives the sins
but do not let the ones who laid the hurt to be forgotten.
Punishments must be given
and love should still be shown.
It is a radical thought
but it is possible
to love someone you do not like.
