Ingratitude
I see you, mom, as you leave
a trace of yourself
on everything you touch:
the shallow glasses my sister
keeps filling up with Coke,
the doorknob that sends you
into a world of supermarkets,
pharmacies and banks,
the bright screen that passes
for a friend from Monday morning
to Sunday evening.
You leave a trace of yourself
on everything, on everyone,
yet, who gives back to you?
What's the reward for the years
that fall behind you
as you work your sad magic?
People and things
remain cold to your touch, ...
a trace of yourself
on everything you touch:
the shallow glasses my sister
keeps filling up with Coke,
the doorknob that sends you
into a world of supermarkets,
pharmacies and banks,
the bright screen that passes
for a friend from Monday morning
to Sunday evening.
You leave a trace of yourself
on everything, on everyone,
yet, who gives back to you?
What's the reward for the years
that fall behind you
as you work your sad magic?
People and things
remain cold to your touch, ...

CHILDREN'S IN THE SAND BOX
Let's talk about the people in CONGRESS, and have a REAL serious conversation on WHY DO THOSE. That WHO WE OF SOCIETY APPOINTED AS THE PEOPLE, THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE HERE TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD. AS THEY SPEND MORE TIME IN THE CHAMBER ROOM ARGUING, AMONGST EACH OTHER AND THEMSELVES, JUST GOING BACK AND FOURTH. YET STILL CAN'T COME TO A REAL, SOLUTION to fix the damn problem. FOR THE TRUE BETTERMENT OF THE WORLD AND IT'S PEOPLE'S.🌍 FOR it reminds me of CHILDRENS playing in the SAND BOX, to see who goes first to play in the sand, or who shall ride the swings on the swing bar...

A Fathers heart
In the depths of a father's soul, a story unfolds,
Of sacrifice and pain, too great to be told.
For in the shadows, I silently carry the weight,
Protecting my children, their futures secure and straight.
Through sleepless nights and weary days,
I labor on, my love never sways.
For my children's dreams, my heart does bleed,
A silent warrior, fulfilling every need.
In my tired eyes, wisdom lines lie deep,
Etched by battles fought, secrets I'll forever keep.
I shield them from the darkness that may come,
Guiding them...
Of sacrifice and pain, too great to be told.
For in the shadows, I silently carry the weight,
Protecting my children, their futures secure and straight.
Through sleepless nights and weary days,
I labor on, my love never sways.
For my children's dreams, my heart does bleed,
A silent warrior, fulfilling every need.
In my tired eyes, wisdom lines lie deep,
Etched by battles fought, secrets I'll forever keep.
I shield them from the darkness that may come,
Guiding them...

Cultivators Rule This Place
I want to live
To walk along your streets as if a beggar
No story of upcoming ventures
No past to endlessly endeavor
Provide for those who will not pay a Thing back
I walk this place with change in pockets
Blessings to spread if I can
I have sought not
I ask for not
All I want
Has been provided
And as I sit
In sanctuary
Watching nearby
As peace is divided
I help my neighbor
Living in close quarters
Generations under one roof
The elderly
Wanting for healthy
Days only...
To walk along your streets as if a beggar
No story of upcoming ventures
No past to endlessly endeavor
Provide for those who will not pay a Thing back
I walk this place with change in pockets
Blessings to spread if I can
I have sought not
I ask for not
All I want
Has been provided
And as I sit
In sanctuary
Watching nearby
As peace is divided

Living in close quarters
Generations under one roof

Abundance
In the dark risen playground
Between the years, he had found her back.
And now among the crowd, she lost him again.
Swinging in the arms of sunshine
She still missed the presence of his shadow.
When there were rhinestones all around her
She still missed the sparkle of his smile.
While she danced among the stars
She still missed his hand that led her through the crowd.
She spent her days in chaos
But as the night grew silent once again
The moon beamed his face in her newly lit eyes.
She let peace take over and silence...
Between the years, he had found her back.
And now among the crowd, she lost him again.
Swinging in the arms of sunshine

When there were rhinestones all around her
She still missed the sparkle of his smile.
While she danced among the stars
She still missed his hand that led her through the crowd.
She spent her days in chaos

Divide you.
Can't get you in there.
Your 6ft 8inchs body.
Admittedly,we've had to divide you.
To fit your body in.

Heavy mat.
Why,Oh why,Oh hi too why,Oh why.
Do people still leave their flat, apartment or house keys,
rarely making a copy,
Under their door mat?
An obvious place any burglar will look
at.
Leaving you bereft of your valuable key(s).
Please,help me understand why people still do that,in this day and age,
Leave their keys under their door mat.

If
If,
What a word
Full of connotations
It's subjective
It's open
Or it's closed
The beginnings
Or the final
Curtain call
If
I wonder how
many times this
has rolled
off tongues
In the middle of
Dilemma
and change
If
It's mighty
Even standing
As 2 letters
Wide
It's depth
Is undeniably
Endless
It precedes
and
Succeeds

Population of Earth
The existence of humans has not been threatened with extinction since homo sapiens appeared. Our human population was under 1 million prior to that time frame, around 10,000 BCE. During this previous era humans were below 1 million a lot of the time.

Since 1800 population increases have been continuous. Although this peaked in 1962–63, and has slowed it hasn’t really dropped completely. Yet, the UN has a lot to say about the opposite happening, I believe this is propaganda. Demographers have totally opposing...

Actions
Working out the steps
Is what humans do all day
To take right actions.
Influence yourself
By the way you treat all others
Rather than clashing.
Endeavor to help
Those that persevere with you,
You'll need them someday.

Spider Babies
It’s been 5 months since
We’ve spoken
And I’ve been stirring it up,
It’s all in my head
I’ve tried to forget
A conversation with my husband;
Me: I don’t want spiders
in my room,
Should we do something?
Husband: no, when they hatch
They’ll all blow away
That spider out my window
She’s got babies
A tiny cocoon;
Like how I call my robe
When I see my bebe’s
Morning face,
My cocoon’s only for my
Littlest ones
I want them to remember
These silken warmseys threads
It’s...
We’ve spoken
And I’ve been stirring it up,

Husband: no, when they hatch
They’ll all blow away
That spider out my window
She’s got babies

Like how I call my robe
