skippin'

by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed — Read all 584 poems by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed

Some of us are skip to the beat of a brand new drummer in our lives. The greater majority will get skipp'd over because they refuse to learn how to change their rhythm, ignoring the seriousness of the invitation to be partners at'The Dance.'

Poem Artwork


skip three church services
. . . go directly to jail

skip three house payments
. . . imprison the banker

skip three national sporting events
. . . dethrone the advertising company

skip three meals with the family
. . . go to court for abuse and neglect

skip three kind words "I love you"

. . . charge 1st degree murder of affection

skip a one last chance to do something good for yourself
. . . & just-a keep-on-skippin' all the way to the grave.

(This less-stressed, more assured for the future of her life poet only promotes and edifies things that make common sense. . .but don't take my poetic word for it. . . .Be a consumer, or be a controller. . . the choice rests before us all.)

Let's partner up. . . .because we skip over nothing!
(Click 'About Me' at www.steps2ytbsuccess.info to see thru our hearts. This is so much more than money. . . and for me, becoming a better servant for people who deserve better than life is dishing them IF they want to make a permanent change to do what they want to do, on their own terms this time, for good.)

You got that right sistah cynth'ya. The wisdom in these lines is like foam on a beer. To avoid it you have to blow it off.

Cynth'ya,

I love how your mind works: you are on a higher, compassionate plane. 'First degree murder of affection' is BRILLIANT, and yet, so spot on! Well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
