Improving

4/1/17

Flowers blooming
Spaced out or in a tight-knit grouping

All around things looming
In space objects still or moving and zooming

Birds pluming
And other animals grooming

Downloads queueing
Electronics in need of a rebooting
Or powering off, to enable cooling

Below, on and above the roofing
Toxins spewing
And other particulates polluting
Some of which are made for fueling

All weeds were removed by uprooting
Trees and bushes getting a pruning
Especially any areas that are drooping

There's just no excusing
You'd better stop snooping
And assuming

As well as tooting your horn
Or ridiculing the poor
What the hell are you fooling for
When deep down, you know you could be doing more

Ocean life caught by fishing poles, harpooning
Or cage using

Die hard fans rooting
Or booing

Times of booming
And continual losing

Certain insects and people cocooning

Humans continually feuding
Suing
And fuming
As if there is something they want to be proving

Major scale jobs, including
A lot of or very specific tooling

Drugs and alcohol others may be using
And possibly abusing

In the right conditions, water pooling
Near and far from any rocks protruding

Live a life of your choosing
Continue pursuing
Knowledge, and ways of improving
With or without musing
