Can’t understand
Why the world allows
Sickness
Sadness to have command.
Can’t understand
How we got from here
To a place with no grace
No gentle kind.
Can’t understand
Can’t understand

Can’t Understand
September 18, 2017
I Did Not See
September 15, 2017
I did not see
I did not know
The courage inside I’d have to show.

I Understand
September 13, 2017
I understand
I must be truthful, honest
And
Of course full of courtesy.
My question is…
Does that entitle me
To a blessed life
Or
One that’s just ordinary?

Whimsical And Saddened
September 7, 2017
Whimsical and saddened
I feel and touch
The gladdened
The ones left to guide
To show the heart
The way
The trodden path
The journey
On which I need to go
Today.

Please Let Me
September 6, 2017
Please let me
Be friendly
Not bitter nor condescending
Let me see beauty, dignity
In the world that surrounds me.
Please let me
Give help
To those that need
Strength to ones
Who are weakened.
Please let me
Show vision
To those whose minds
Are imprisoned.
Please let me.

Smug, Complacent
September 5, 2017
Smug, complacent
Morally wrong
Stepping over
Standing on
Those that helped you
Get where
You don’t belong.

See Me
September 1, 2017
See me
I am here.
See me
I must not fear
You see.
See me
In all I be
See me.

I’m Amazed And Mystified
August 31, 2017
I’m amazed and mystified
The way the world turns
And magnifies
All goodness inherent
On the earth
And up in
The clear, blue skies.
I am amazed, I’m mystified.

Angry
August 22, 2017
Furious and bitter
Mad and angry
Hate the controlling people
Who try to control
Me.
Their ashes and residue
Spewing forth
Needless discord, no harmony.
Angry
I’m angry
Angry at me.
