Teachers of Life

We are all underpaid.

Some have the title but no recompense.

Sometimes the only thing that can be done

is watch as they make a mess.

Hopefully they will learn one of life`s great lessons.

Otherwise you might end up steering them a little longer.

No matter what though

They will learn somehow

and you will to.

So thank your teachers.

all of them!

Life would not be the same without them.

Under Lying Fear

As opposed to overwhelming

where in you only get a sense of dread,

of unease in everything you do.

No one looks you in the eye anymore

and you are sure something is up.

All denied of course.

Paranoia sets in.

You are doomed either way.

Start looking for a way out

or you will no longer stay sane!

Courage

Standing up to the bully.

Reporting the abusive coworker.

Leaving behind the spouse who hurts you.

It is not about getting into fights and trying to win.

It is about realizing your potential

and not letting anyone else define you.

Progress

Can be so hard to see in a positive light.

Society deems it inevitable.

Yet there are many times

when the progress of time seems to have stopped

or reversed.

It is most notable in the children.

For good or ill

when they stop doing a behaviour

you start wondering if you will ever see

the good old days before such progress came along.

To Vote or not to Vote

There should be no question.

If you don’t vote you won’t be heard.

Yet many feel downtrodden

a hopeless sense of despair

of nothing they do will matter.

I understand.

Yet remember.

No vote is a wasted vote.

It may not be heard this time,

but someday your voice will be heard.
