Poem Artwork


I wondered if I had any enemies
And thought a lot about relatives but they
Were parties like me to the festivities
Of settling the score in the family way
When it got rough like it does because of stuff
Though not the good stuff so it was not enough
Other than that I do not think I do now

Though wondering so understanding of these
Once with me under the sword of Damocles
Some have gone mad some are dead now and somehow
The sword having fallen and all of us gone
One way or the other who need not bother
With enemies like these as one another
One way or the other yesterday went on

Tomorrow never came but enough today
When just as we must then we learn in our turn
All is forgiven when given the time to
Wonder but understand we go on then do
Life is short but still is long enough to learn
To let it all go and whatever may stay
Is the good stuff enough for me anyway
