lost track of my focus...

Poem Artwork


 

My choo-choo went round the bend

My trolley done did derail

The cheese fell off my cracker

Four cents short of a nickel am I

 

My sun is hiding behind the clouds

The moon is made of cheese,

Could that be where my cracker went

My life hard to see for the shrouds

 

Whereas, on the other hand

I speak in riddles and in kind

New age music what I need

To exist in an old age world

 

My focus on the wrong track

Is there a wrong rail

Unless one wants to take a differing trail,

Is it my mind, or the lack thereof

Or is it you who does not understand

We walk paths as needed even when we do not understand them. I read somewhere there is no wrong path.........all paths lead to the light. There is truth in this; I just don't understand it :-)

Maybe it's me who does not understand. An excellent poem just the same. There are a lot of poems I don't understand.

Reaching a higher level of conciousness in this poem, could it be a clearer head?;-) Sounds like you're on the right track, but your old habits don't want to let your train go any faster for fear they'll lose you! Take control!Let Rufuz help...woof woof!;-)

Well done Ed!!

This might be one of your best poems, yet - besides your nature writes, of course.

Ed, been there... done that.

Talk a walk each day
change your diet
bake your foods
never fry it
Explain to Rufuz
he's a good shrink
Buy Green Day's American Idiot
and tell me what you think.

I like this.
A sad sign, but compelling.
Somehow I escaped the world of substance abuse.
But I live in a world alone because everyone else is stoned by something. Doesn't matter what the addiction is, something owns everyone I know.
I personally think what was so shocking about Jesus was his freedom.
But his audience was stoned, so how could they properly relate their experience?
Just...because this was a philosophy topic.

Love the sign, but at least life after drug abuse we can remember what we did yesterday.
