The morning sings with the birds
As the flowers wake up.
Coffee in hand
I regret not using the bug spray.
The morning sings with the birds
As the flowers wake up.
Coffee in hand
I regret not using the bug spray.
Cat treats in the nip.
Bills sitting unopened.
Yearning for the sun.
Wallowing in the curtained basement.
Watching youtube videos
and ignoring life.
Until my youngest brings me a caramel.
Pharmaceutical supplies
necessary to manage symptoms.
Things we can control
and things we can not control.
Drugs, medication and the advise needed
when taking them.
Some of us
cannot live without medication.
Others who do not need it
do not always understand.
I want a normal life
but everything I take belies that.
Freedom is a concept.
A choice word
that allows us contentment.
Laws are made that restrict freedom.
Yet we live in a society
that touts freedom as the goal of living.
So if you buy one and get a second for free
you really only bought two at half price.
Deadly
Accurate
Truth
Evader.
Lies are told and yet we believe them.
And no
the truth isn’t always a lie
from your perspective.
Sometimes it is your perspective
that is wrong.
Driving along the highway.
The turn left takes you straight into the path
of the Semi driving on the other side.
The baby brother is in the backseat.
It is funny how the memory of my best friends loss
while we were children
Brings such dark thoughts out.
I wonder if her mother had the sun in her eyes
or if she had made a different, deliberate decision?
Newbs on the menu.
Greenhorns a’coming.
Fresh meat for the pickings.
Little brown mushrooms
Because they all look the same.
Beginners luck and give them time to grow.
You will be pleasantly surprised.
So quick
To point
That finger.
Yet more
Fingers point
Back at you.
Hold out
Your hand
and ask
“How can I help?”
It makes a world of difference.
Ownership is ninth/tenths of the law.
Yet whose law is it?
Is it right to keep something
just because you found it?
Stealing happens when you take something
that is not yours.
So what happens when you steal something
and then change the laws about it.
Can changing the laws really justify your actions?
I guess a lawyer might know.
Though their answer will depend on what laws they are defending.
The prism sits innocuously
Waiting for the right moment to shine.
So will we
when the light hits us perfectly
and everyone can see
we are made up of all the colours of the rainbow.
