Minor Or Major

6/1/21


Life has been like an elevator

Going up sometimes, often down to the bottom layer

The outcome was minor or major

Paid it no mind, or it started to hanker

Feeling calm or full of anger

Done in good will or with rancor

Always nearby lurks danger

Skills beyond a Texas ranger

Familiar with it, or am a stranger

What I did was a game changer

Kept going or stopped and put down the anchor

It was empty, full or there was only one in the chamber

Fluids separated from solids with a strainer

Near and far from dog trainers

Can't solve every problem with paper
(root of all evil)
(Showing the true colors of people)
If it came to that, then I will turn into a Gladiator
Don't talk to me about the 'so-called creator'

It barely left a mark or afterward there was a crater

All these kids and teenagers

Not to mention too many haters and traitors

Now or later

You will or won't grasp such a concept and what is greater

On either side of the Equator

It was difficult to understand or a no-brainer

Food and liquids staying fresh or going bad inside a container

Wild and domesticated animals eating out of a manger

It's sad that species are continually being endangered

Will it ever improve for the remainder

Of our time, or will it all end abrupt from a Glacier

Or the impact of Mother Nature

I've gone beyond a stargazer

And trailblazer

Cut my wrists with a razor

Or blow my brains out with a green beam laser

Close to or far from a 2022 Blazer
