Empty Thought

Written without thought at 4am...after a dream from childhood...

Guard your bliss like love's first kiss
A feeling of exquisite delight
Protect your happiness
Like a Mother's watch
O'er baby's peaceful plight.


Be not afraid of life's threats
Onward in strife or fortune
To an end of torrential right.


Whisk through your day
Never-ending in joy and goodness
Look forward to the night.


Dissolve dark clouds
With solutions of cheer
Bring gladness to all in sight.


Ensnare bad luck
Then cast it down
Look up to absorb the "Light".


Unhappiness' seeds are sowed in fields of desire
Not desire to do good
But want of material height.


Come down off your pedestal
And bring your neighbors to boot
For material gain is happiness' blight!


                           *ED*

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
