This world and its problems have been here for thousands of years. Many poets have come and many poets have gone, right along with everyone and everything political. I'm 53 years old, if I'm lucky I might make it another 20 somewhat good years. I think the world will last long enough for me to do my little time. If not, so be it, I'm not going to worry about it one way or another. What I am going to do is try to enjoy the rest of my little time here. I'm going to grow my rose garden in this world of sh-t. Enjoy the flowers and dodge the thorns. Some get to consummed in world affairs and politics while their own personal world needs attention. How you going to help the world when you can't help yourself? Knowing balance is the key.

Who's operating the hand with the pen,
just what type of brain gives a word its spin?
One of trouble and pain within,
lost in his own world falling apart,
not in touch with his own soul and heart,
full of hate and resentment,
looking for a fight in statement,
full of negativity,
expressing hardly no positivity.
negative trait operating,
selfish mode dictating.
Politically up the creek,
home life about to break.
Losing touch with priorities,
soaked up in to many curiosities.


OR


One who is at peace with his environment,
void of hate and resentment,
understanding of others,
trying to truly help his sisters and brothers,
knowing that there never is perfection,
but taking advantage of the best connection.
Aware of all the negativity,
still preaching positivity,
a believer in personal responsibility,
against any type hostility.
Preaching love and peace,
avenues to positively release.


*********************


We all have a right to our choices,
just what our pens voices.
If negativity and hate is your thing,
then be the pen king.
If positivity turns you on,
then sat on the light throne.


Just make sure you're satisfied,
and
try to express more dignified.
If you're politically motivated,
others may get agitated.
If you're agitated,
others may be politically motivated.


Some like the president,
others resent the president.
Some like our country,
others resent our country.
Some are never satisfied,
others learn to be satisfied.
Some want peace,
others want violent release.
Some want to fight,
others don't want to fight.
Who's wrong and who's right,
basically lives in the mind.


So be it!


G

I remember a time when someone on TV, was it Jack Parr, lost his job or his fame for daring to say the word peace during a war. Thanks for reminding me of that, Grady.

when it comes down to it, right and wrong are moral illusions, subjectively interpreted ...
