Lethal Warning

Whether the Good Lord or Charles Darwin gave Adam his fruit Regardless of ideology versus faith rules our common pursuit We need to accept that life is dangerous and fraught with peril Don’t jump the gun before facing the reaper or his rifle barrel Instead it might help to live for today and embrace what goes on Make hay when the sun shines before the finite moment is gone Roses have thorns nettles may sting and snakes poison for real Not unlike families who can spew toxins they are unable to conceal Choose carefully with whom you share your knife to slice bread Not rocket since that otherwise you might be prematurely dead You can turn a worm ridden table as often as you consider fit Oil cleans surfaces and place mats but inherent fissures can split Share a jug of water with a hint of mint draped with olive branches Without preconditions or anger when you apportion the tranches If life only gives you lemons plant yet another citrus fruit tree Sour seeds hold promise and possibilities not that easy to see Felines are said to have nine lives but humans have no such luck It is best to unwind and enjoy current presence before we get stuck When you stride in your strife remember you might be an example Children are attentive and they learn fast what might not be ample But whatever you decide do not toss out the baby with the bath Don’t put the cat in the microwave as it might explode on its path 25th February 2020
