The Golf Hole

You have been golfing your time away when When your authority is dying and babies are crying You have been golfing your time away when there is no coffee in the pantries, and no food on the kitchen table You have been golfing your time away when the baby’s milk is spoiling in the kitchen sink and the pigeons are dying. The roosters are crowing aloud and the lions and tigers are gallivanting about with a headless crown .Christmas and Thanksgiving is a time for family gathering but millions had nothing to share because many people were not there. Some have been torn apart, others are left in the dark while others are still six feet below the ground and their spirits are prowling around . You are golfing your time away When the postal service man and the courier service van did not get an extra dollar to add salad to their evening supper. The nights are cold, the rooms are dark and the rich is singing and shouting amen hallelujah over a lavishing dinner. Listen carefully to what I have to say and don’t let your pride get in the way. You must pay attention to what is transpiring around and read the messages that nature is sending you. The big and bold the bright, smart and beautiful is the the cardboard laptop woman who have been feedings you I need your help with enhanced technology and resources to feed my belly They have sworn to cut off my head and replaced it with a chicken head but the chicken head fell to the ground before you could get to my throne .Keep your eyes on the ground and look carefully at the hole It is difficult to roll the ball in and you cannot throw the dice in The ground is baked with rum punch and fruit cake You have missed the shot because the covering around the hole and the hot grass on the lawn was too shallow .The heat is chiming in and you have to pay for your sins. You have been golfing your time away and don’t have time to pray. You tweet bad news in the middle of the night and your ego have made many sighed. Look up at sun and tell me what you see? the sun is shining with intensity in the sixth degree, and the galaxy is moving ferociously around you .It is time bury the guns and close the chapter behind you. The golf hole is closed and at midnight the lights will go out and darkness will descend upon the golf courts.
