This is pattern after the tv show Kung-fu, conversations between the master and grasshopper.


Poem Artwork

Master I don't want to do
I feel lazy too

Grasshopper this is a human trait
quite a few exist in this state
but it doesn't have to be your fate

But master how do I overcome
such a trait
without it affecting my fate

Grasshopper you are asking
a blind man how you can
overcome something you
have eyes to see
I can not even see where
I'm going
Must less a lot of times what
I'm doing
I mastered kung-fu anyway
this is why I'm a master today
In life you will have many handicaps
also there are many traps
How you overcome
seperates you from the rest
and makes you your best
Go now and do something
constructive
instead of something destructive
Go find some ants
and watch them work
you should get a perk

But master I've seen the ants
carrying heavy loads
Should I go try and lift
something bigger than I

Not really grasshopper
you can start by
lifting your behind up
when you feel down and corrupt
Just don't sit and wallow
even if you have too
get up and scream and holler
Do anything except
just sitting and being lazy

I will rest now grasshopper
I feel tired and lazy
See it is natural to
feel this way
especially after a hard day
but not before you
work or play

Enjoyed this my friend, I've not watched Kung Fu in....I don't know how many years it's been! I always enjoyed the show, and I enjoyed your poem as well. I could envision the old man sitting calmly giving the young lad advice just as he did in the show! A wise message within the lines also my friend, I too cannot stand to see someone idle their life away! Well done, enjoyed this much!

Blessings,

Joyce B.

The Ghost of Mavis by Mary Lynn Plaisance

Mavis asked, "Am I a ghost again? I don't remember being a ghost, but I know I was." Do you believe in reincarnation?
