The young!

The young, what can you say? naive and innocent, and damm frustrating, no sense of life, always rushing in, and they know it all, until they fall, and then they ask for assistance, they show (this time) no resistance, so we help them up, (again) and help them on their way to this video game of life they play, until reality comes to call,
it's then they grow up,................. just like us all.

About you!

Can you live without expression? Can you be,,,,,, alone,,,,, not for eternity, but if you were locked within yourself for a time?, then what would you see?, reality?, defined by who? you or me? would it be then, you would feel,,,,, REAL.

But it was fun while it lasted!

And tomorrow will be, oh yes, with or without you or me, its strange to see, such continuity, but that is the way, come what may, when playtime ends, it's goodbye my friends.

A Word To The Wise

She talked of him filled with love,
But never could remember what his name was,-
And how love - how it filled the air,
When no one was there,
In such despair,
No one here cares,-

He disappeared into that night,
Caught the last ride out of town and took the first flight,-
For a ride from then onto now,
Where no one is allowed,
Oh, so better than thou,
No one here cares how,--

Her angel cried,
His demon smiled,
Together such beautiful music,
A word to the wise,--

She lost love and gained love to hate,
But never knew how to lose her faith,-
And how life - how it gained wear and tear,
Beyond disrepair,
Nothing is fair,
And no one here cares,-

He came back one sunny summer day,
He saw her alone and merrily went on his way,-
For the ride that made a star in the sky,
Where no one else dared to try,
Some star's never die,
And no one cares why,--

Her angels wept,
His demons ran wild,
Together such intoxicating music,
A word to the wise--

About this poem:
I wrote this 3-7-2022. A Word To The Wise is the title I've been working on for over a month or so by different forms of writing it. The song is about a girl I once dated back in school and on Easter week vacation I vanished into the night and completed my grade without anyone knowing of my intentions on leaving. Over the years she found faith in God and I just do Rock-n-Roll/ Heavy Metal.

I am!

So, I'm an old oak tree, frostbitten, snowed over, windswept and left to be be!.. Seen and then forgotten. BUT young elves have played at my feet, swong from my arms, lovers lost in bliss, underneath my leaves, held in my arms, but they did not know, ,,,,,,that I know, that I am!

I see the light!

That shining light up in the sky, appears, then disappears as clouds pass by, and life down here, is lost in fear, tomorrow may never be here, for humankind all could be lost, one man , can, change it all, we stand or we fall, unite to the rallying call, fight, or flight ,but let it go then we disappear, when we give in to rational fear, but that shining light will reappear, whether or not we are still here, everything goes on, and on and on, we are but nothing in the big picture, but in the small picture, well, there's a shining light to brighten my night.

When your number is up!

I don't want to play this numbers game, life has changed, its not the same, only yesterday I was 2 and 1, where the hell has that gone?, Woke up today, what can I say, I'm now 6 and 1, that didn't take long, so I suppose tommorrow will be the same for you and me, I wonder , can we deduct 2 or 3, or minus -- it all, before we fall, into negative equity, unfortunately, its not up to you or me. The End.

A question of difference!

What's the difference, between life and existence? If I shoot myself in the head, do I spend the rest of my life dead? Is that impossible? An illusion? or a Cotard delusion?
Do we exist because we are alive?, or are we alive just because we exist?
Now quantum mechanics finds it so...it does not matter where we go,. the quantum superposition is not a superstition, it shows where we are at, its, well, Schrödinger's cat.
Ok?

See!

What do you see through your eyes? Is it differnt to mine?, Is the world conspiring or just fine? Do you believe the world is round?, alien invasion? what have you found? so, we think we are right, always, day or night, you say that, I say this, then we eventually dismiss, and pretend we know, agree?, its all a show! In the end, its not you, its not me, we just dont know.
