POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Common Routine
Went to Taco Bell for a little feast
Hoping it is hot and tasty
Tasting fantastic at least
But it was lukewarm and looking pasty
7 miles from the start of the day
After the bank, a few stores and last to get something to eat
Just from the feel of the taco's, off to the microwave again today
Moments later finally at a seat
The money and value do not add up
All food should be of high quality
Yet other Taco Bells are awesome so whats up?
All the uncertainty
This location is in demand
A new look and it is very clean
Yet...

No surrender
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There will be no defeat on this ship
Battle tested and prepared for the next trip
From sea to sea life is on the line
As the wind blows the ships way, its a sign
From battle to battle and war to war
The captain of the ship and his men have been here before
Fight and fight until it is done
At the end of the day only one ship has won
No white flag or surrender
Only victory to render
Men lost and blood shed along the way
Yet the crew and the captain will...

A negative vison of time
A reverse of time
Back to another day
To fix a wrong and a mental crime
Just with different words to say
Because the past plagues me today
In so many ways
Why do moments pass quickly away?
Always counting the days
Tears that may fall
Pain is still lingering there
Their is no solution at all
Agony beyond words to compare
Move those hands of time some way
Solve the mysteries that are here
As I rest and as I lay
All the cries in between walls, yet no one can hear
I am sorry in so many ways
We never can change...

Clear the way
Did you know about the serving size?
The amount we are supposed to intake
That small print, did you realize?
What is good for a midget is not for my sake
Then as well it is clearly printed
2,000 calorie diet
A stat that is out of date, as the average person hinted
Not that anyone lives by it
Perhaps it was accurate 60 years ago
When people did not live as long
In time we live and grow
Slowly growing bigger and also strong
So the data needs a update
The food pyramid also as well
Things change and evolve before heavens gate...
