Life Is Good and Getting Better

No, no, no~ the human race is far from going away.
Some of our brightest days, ever...are definitely headed our way.

Don't let rabble rousers in the streets acting like fools and clowns.
Dampen the human spirit of you, your family or your hometown.

Fools and anger, a horrendous mix, like a cocktail gone awry.
You watch them poured on you, alas, by satellite shakers in the sky.

That's their job, to cause you to worry and to fret.
Do not listen to these cynical, high priced fools, whom you have never met.

Make your plans, dream your dreams, there always is a tomorrow.
Alas, if you have none, alas , you  might face emptiness and sorrow.

We need many more people reasoning like you, Panagiota. Life is how we make it, even if others might try to sabotage our intentions. Your positive outlook on life in general is worthy of praise, my friend. ~ Best regards // paul

Hi Paul. How nice of you to say this. Somedays, it's a struggle to be positive. And the sabators are there to see we are not. I like this poem also. I am a realist, however and not everyday am I the bluebird of happiness~ just the majority! Which I am grateful for. Great mentors contributed to that.)) Panagiota xoxo

I love the positive poetry, Panagiota. I agree, we should enjoy life but also be sensitive to other people's pain. Let's pray for more peaceful times ahead, my friend. Blessings, Rhonda xx

Rhonda~ I feel pain for good people harassed and threatened by mobs. Ifeel no pain for people who act like victims. There are real victims and faux victims. More of the latter-((( I pray for my understanding. Once we have that, yes we have a chance at peace. People are run by lies perpetrated by high priced liars on TV and in the news. They raise the banner of VICTIM on criminals? I pray they disappear. We must be strong and kind, eh! Let freedom and truth ring, PR xo

As I told you Tom, they have tried for decades to crush me..they leave tread marks of arrogance on my back, but they can't crush me, I crush them and their dweebish hearts! Zamboni courage I possess,...they are as bits of crushed ice...melting.)))) Panagiota
