Underwater StoryDream along with a multitude of sea creaturesCradled in the warmth of their unstable watery lair Each diversely unique dweller living there Having to guard against toxic waste scare Many a needed proposed, enduring solution As the millennium draws ever closer, let's Hope persons come up with save the sea Life resolutions Sharks, dolphins, undersea botany, All yearning to remain alive Just as human families striving to survive Fisherman and boats with nets in tow Are as lethal to sea life As the gunshot, to a tiny doe Never forget to protect what we can Saving the planet for future, by lending A helping hand |
The Dreaded CallOne by one they file inNot anyone in this group With a smile, or grin Each carrying a summons For jury duty to report Citizens musing, can there by a retort? Equipped with newspaper, books, and magazines Page upon page filled with the latest Newsworthy scenes Men and Women representing a wide Diversity for the jury pool When selected, most obey the golden rule Names are called without rhyme or reason You'll be excused if you advocate treason At last the day is over Each person not picked will have to return Grumblin and eyes ding a slow burn Luckily for me, I'm a chosen one I'll miss a day of work, out in the hot sun I return home and open the door There is my dog Glover, who just spilled His bowl of food all over the floor |
The Twists Of NatureFever pitched choreography, balletSwirling tango, twisted gray spiral coming closer Bass throated roar, barely audible A vision, both magnificent, and ferocious The brain can hardly comprehend A millisecond in reality Time stands immobile, as nature Unleashes its wrath upon the unsuspecting Property, called home destroyed like Pick up sticks, Trees uprooted, Boats, Trucks And automobiles tossed about like a salad Drama unfolding - Baited breath No prophet can predict, the next occurrence Man can later rebuild from this fury Human life thrust to their endurance limit We must have forgiveness, although never forget Only a higher being knows the reason |
ThoughtsCan you be still my heart?While starvation, disease, global conflicts Are so much a part in today's society Why do some turn to terrorism, violence Devoid of human feeling, Is this the answer? How come we don't acknowledge more compassion For those who are homeless and starving Instead we bask in the glow from our own Material possessions, Some have stirred passion For events that invoke sorrow, and destruction As their result, A sunrise is still beautiful Mountains, and oceans will forever create wonder Energy and time should be spent to conquer the Ever existing plagues to human survival This and other challenges should fuel the power For society, to check the pulse of humanity |
