LIFE CHOICES
By
Kevin L Fairbrother

He sat in his rocking chair, willing time to pass
A stubby of beer in his hand and a *** in his mouth
Rocking to the country music blaring in the background
This man so alone, thinking about his last breath

Once a family man of...

the father sees a neighbor
screaming with child as she runs
out the front door to shelter
he hustles his own to shelter
and turns to see other neighbors
with their two dogs come running behind

the shelter's too small to hold everyone,
the father says climb in but we can't fit...

Life Choices


Expanding spectrum
Rain falls on my color choice
The color is you...

Every choice one makes in life,
Is another step forward into their development.
Each and every choice
Has a meaning.
Sometimes, the one that makes the choice,
Is unaware of the consequences.

Speaking, such choices I’ve made in my life
I was unaware of surprising outcomes.
I’ve found out sad things of other...

Life Choices
Written: by Tom Wright.
7-20-2016

Tangible success or inner gratification,
Were the choices in life that I once faced.
My life could remain just an aberration,
And the family name, become disgraced;

Then I arrived at my road’s branching,
Firmly entrenched, I faced a life choice.
Trembling, I stood, with color blanching,
Jesus...

This is is the day
Where push comes to shove
To get what I want
I must rise above
Ignore all the people
Saying this saying that
I’ll use what you said 
For this motivational rap
You think you’re one up
You can’t see your own flaws
Narsassistic tendacies
Will soon cause you to fall
When...

Choices that impact my life...

A clown car or an elevator?
A forest or a meadow?
Sad or happy?
The choice is yours.

Pink polka dots or Linen Gray?
A kitchen accident or a freight train?
Joyfulness or Melancholy?
The choice is yours.

A magical kingdom or a jail cell?
Pie or cheese?
Excitement or Boredom?
The choice is yours....

I'm in a cage, with plenty of doors-
I do not know from which to get out. 
Out of the cage, I see the world-
different from every separate door.

I'm a caged bird, 
with a mystery yet unsolved-
where the future of a caged bird will be. 
Where...

He’s holding the key
That opens minds, hearts
And souls
He called the
Gatekeeper of
Life!...

Hear the flames crackle
Fall on your sword  
Live like a Jackal  
Die like a dog  

The lion is weary
Hyenas dart and bite
Their laughing is eerie
He'll lose his last fight.

The vultures are circling
Eyes that see far 
Their shadow is on you
Wherever you are.

Betrayal...

As if in opposition it stood
Like a distress call from a precarious time
Juxtaposed perpendicular to an open grass laden field
A horizontal girder of ominous warning
A marker of trespass.

Abandoned, it was kept secret for many years
I have stumbled upon this inherent passage in time.
This parapet before...

Who Am I ?
By George W. Clever-----12 June 2020 
	
Who am I?				I’m just a nut.
Patch on my eye.		Big ears to help me fly.
A Weird kid in school.		So they all say.

Mother had me tested.		Never received the results, I guess.
Life has been busy.			A smorgasbord of interests.
How could...

I paused to stand and watch a man who had come to the road’s divide,
my wonder soared as I watched his stare slowly shift from side to side.
He stood as if not noticing that many passed him by,
they moved without a second glance down the...

Life’s a fragile thread
Balanced on a knife’s keen edge.
Careful of the cut!...
