Call to Activism

When you are sure attention

is already upon you

and it is not the kind you wish

Something must be done.

So go out and fight

call out the problems

See others and join them

Do not let injustices go by unseen!

But most of all

realize you are doing something

incredibly important

Something you may lose everything for.

And will it be worth it?

Doubt will creep in

Stealing your heart energy

but fight nonetheless

because there are those who can not fight

and they need you

even if you think you are not making a difference

The world will know you did!

Slow Moving

When the energy does not exist

and you still have to do things.

The children need breakfast

and the cats need to be feed.

Clothes take an eternity to put on

and not just your own.

Coffee, the universal saviour of the tired

has to work double hard this morning.

Once the kids are out the door and at their schools

all y ou wish to do is nap

but there are so many more things that need to be done!

So go on and move like a snail

I won’t judge you

because I am in the same boat

Times Change

For better or worse

Things do not remain constant.

People always believe in glory days

or we had it worst of all!

The younger generations can never compete

with an old persons self inflicted misery.

Yet we still survive.

Somehow.

Still if hope is lost

things remain static

for a time at least.
