I'm a William Shakespeare fan. He referenced the world as a stage and us merely being actors upon it. I do a lot of acting in my everyday life to stay out of trouble, but I don't expect an Oscar. Even some of the famous actors can't act like they have any sense off the silver screen. What about Kirk Douglas's grand son being a drug dealer and hooked on drugs, off to jail he'll be going. Danny Glover just got locked up here recently. Charlie Sheen can't seem to act like he has any sense either. And the beat goes on, it never ends.
It's kind of hard acting like
you have some sense
amongst all the crazy worlds
negative pretense
However this I trust
if we want to live a good
postive life we must
until the day we return to dust
No matter how mean and stupid
others act
our response must be close
to exact
that is to avoid this fact
The authorities have a place
for those who can't cope
who act too crazy drink and
use too much dope
We see it each and everyday
with all the crap
especially when others go off
and zap
Just watch the evening news
it might influence your views
Even if you are having a hard time
walking around in your shoes
In this world we never end up
paying our dues
You might as well be enlightened
cause nothings left but the blues
The deep-dive literary meditations presented as stories, poems, and essays in The American Poet Who Went Home Again, A Mosaic of My Soul at Work, have captivated and inspired readers ever since its first paperback publication in 2008.
