During the Eve

2/14/17 At similar and different degrees Animals, humans, and objects proceed At lower and higher speeds By the land and sea Near many trees Bearing fruit, or mainly leaves Far too many display greed Being naive, with intentions that deceive And mislead I believe Indeed I'll succeed And achieve While following through on deeds As I aim to exceed Burned, dug and pulled weeds Some of which got cleaved And eventually heaved Into a orderly pile before, after or during the eve Pollen in the breeze Causing those allergic to sneeze Near and far from hives of bees Some pray on their knees In the midst of Summer heat or Winters freeze Evidence and other items getting seized Some but not all could be got back through paying fees What was difficult for many, may have been done by others with ease Regardless of if they have prestige A vast amount of cuisines With greens And or meats, some of which considered lean Either following or breaking the creed In the midst of, or behind the scenes Handmade crafts and figurines And others created by machines Instead of charging in with a head full of steam Better think and heed While trying to grasp what it means Do you agree or disagree That is not all that it seems? Areas with weather considered extreme Occasionally turning things into smithereens Another night where I didn't dream Whether I did or didn't fall asleep in front of a screen Can the soul be redeemed Despite there being no guarantee Finished tasks solo or in a team Above and below terrain having ravines Dirtied up, scuffed and cut my jeans The same could be said for my sleeves Not yet have I had mead Or paid for a limousine Close and beyond places known for the occasional stampede Could it have been preventable with vaccines For afflictions and disease Above and below streams As well as submarines However this all may be deemed There is no hidden strings or schemes It is good to read Brain, body, soul and spirit need to feed Intervene Got to switch up the same old routines And reign supreme By: Dalton Ogletree
