It benefits whomever decides.
Those who deal with the consequences are muted.
No say is given to the victims.
Those who say they deserved it know the truth.
Just like all the other lies spread by the ones who decide what is best for you and me.
Push
Life is hard.
Things get difficult.
Choices need to be made.
Decisions followed through.
Others want you to push them.
You need to focus on you.
Help is asked for
not always freely given.
Especially when the help is taken advantage of
time and time again.
Sparrow
The Hawk glides effortlessly overhead.
The song bird quiets.
The nest is hidden, safe.
The bathroom vent fan is plugged once again.
This year the eggs will not be blown out.
Instead maintenance will be called.
Polite Rules
A Four way stop means you take turns.
A Merge means you share.
The yield is to caution you.
Stop means stop.
The road is has signs
and those signs help you to avoid accidents.
Listen to them.
Please.
Banned Should’s
There is no supposed to.
Should’s are banned.
If something needs to be done
The phrase is…. I want to do this.
It supersedes the guilt and I find myself still wanting to do the task.
Robe of Discontent
Ratty.
Full of holes.
Ripped.
Torn.
Threads loose.
Smelly.
Dirty.
Still used.
Sleep Receptacle
The bed is made for dreaming.
Worrying.
Wandering.
Thinking.
Listening.
The mind floats
As the eyes begin to close
And the body rests.
Post
Crooked Stile
Walked a mile.
My cat is furious
I fixed her serious.
The chips
have no dip
about to flip.
Rhymes are dumb
Now I am numb.
My Domain
Comfort is key.
Luxury a bonus.
Friendship vital.
Financially free.
Politics forbidden.
The world awaiting.
Just me and my thoughts, emotions calming.
Broken Habits
Harmful ones we need to reject.
It is the helpful and balanced ones
that are hard to resume.
So how can I be a better poet
if I forget to write one every day.
