Loss For Words

Seldom at a loss for words,

Yet at times, none seem to come.

It is then I realize, silence is golden.

 

Cranking a car is useless

If the battery is dead.

What's between our ears, the same.

 

Know thyself, oft repeated,

But does it sink in, I doubt it.

As we do little to offer a change.

You've got to create some kind of change and I believe you do in your own way.

Love ya!

I don't know so much about that last stanza, I have continued to "change" a number of times over the years, until I am now exactly where I want to be within myself. I'm happy, George. I might still write dark poetry, but it is always taken from the past when I wasn't so very happy.

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.
