brilliance


Brilliance

Going through 
Old papers 
Containing -
Brilliant thoughts and 
     Ideas 
And plans 

- filled up a whole sack 
Of that -
For trash
- can't have too much 
Brilliance
- don't have 
Room

Every day in 
Every way 
Throw something 
Out !

Go through old stuff 
And sift
And sort 

Different things are 
Important now 
The time is running 
Out 

Many things 
would have happened
      by now 
- if they were 
     Going to 

This used to make me sad 
Thinking why not "I"
Why shouldn't I have 
What I think I 
     Should have 
And even better -

     Some wonderful things 
Which haven't even occurred 
To me 
Yet

But now I know 
A brilliant thing -
     - having enough
To eat 
And 
A place to sleep 

Is the best idea 
Yet

Cease Fire !!!

Cease fire 
Oh 
Thank God !!

Decide not to shoot 
     Each other 
Any more

Just -
Decide that 

Make up your 
Mind 
To it !

And while you're at it 
Don't change your mind 
Again -
Ever !

I've had enough 
I am old enough 
To realize 
That patience 
And tolerance 
Are necessary 
In this life 

In this coffee place 
The baby starts to fuss 
So the mom begins 
To breast feed 
Right here 
Right now 

It's what we all need 

Food 
Shelter 
And some 
     Fun 

Breast feeding in public 
Omg
In my growing up world 
This would NEVER 
have happened! 
We were bottle fed 
On 
Corn syrup
And 
Canned milk 

Omg 

No wonder the older 
Sister died 
     At one year old 
And I have a few problems 
     With health

So now we know 
The baby needs 
That food 

We can change 
We can learn 
We can grow

The world needs 
To stop fighting 
To stop "greeding"
And to make sure 
We all
Have 

Food -
Shelter -
And 
Some 
Fun.

Greetings

Peace and hope 
Freedom and wonder 
We have so little time
Left 

Let's not waste it fighting 
Let us realize 
What's important 

Let us 
Take care of 
One another 

No way to do this 
But 
To raise our own 
     Consciousness 
Each and 
     Everyone 

We are the vibe 
We find 
Inside 

Our connection 
With 

For free -
Our own -

Just like everyone dances 
Their own 
Tango 
So 
Do we all know -

We know it when we see it
And feel it 
When 
We meet 
     ourselves 

Within

Human

There is this guy
Has a utube channel
All about his life
God bless 'em -
And now his mail-order wife
God bless 'em -
My best friend and neighbor
Was and is such a bride
I do not fault her -
To do anything to get out of
That poverty
And out of that way
That they treat women -
To come to these United States
To be treated like a human
Anything
To get out of that poverty
And hunger
The guys can think that
It's true love
And it is -
Love of freedom
Freedom from fear
And want
And hunger

Have a child or two and be safe
And warm and dry
And have food
And be treated like
A human being
Yes
It's love
Take it for what it is
It's love -
For immigration
For papers
For food
This is no small thing

We do what we must 
To survive 
Even -
Put up with 
You

And the dude 
Believes in love 
In the fantasy 
He is not bad 
He is just sad 
And a little 
     Lonesome 

God give us strength 
Everyone
