Twin Decisions
Twin Decisions
One in the USA, one in Germany
Too much alike to deny destiny
First the coup attempt, all involved were jailed
Then a pardoning, democracy failed
He set their country back promising a super race
He set the US back, minorities had no place
He controlled the media , all paid their dues
Here in the USA he claimed fake

Choices I make
There are arches and doorknobs
I feel with my hands but,
instead of pushing through,
around and round
i meander clueless,
my head in a cloud
caught up in the darkness
I coddle to the point
of despair and delusion.

Tip aka Don't Do What I Did
Don't go shopping for prescription glasses
when you're mad at your boss.
You'll end up coming home with
don't f*ck with me glasses
that you'll regret!

The virtue of choice
It's conscious.
It's deliberate.
It's empowering to the extent you decide.
Reality is forever up for interpretation ~
Is life ugly or is it beautiful?
Your decisions determine your life,
drag you down or become uplifting.

Decisions
Sometimes I’m guilty of making a bad decision,
when thinking no farther ahead than that day.
Something in my day perhaps clouds my vision,
or before my decision i didn’t take time to pray.
For each life decision there’s a consequence I’ll pay,
and this payment may be either beneficial or bad.
I won’t let negativity make it’s base in my

The Sheer Gravity of Uncertainty
When poised precariously,
balanced on the edge of a precipice,
choice can’t wait for clarity.
For the mass of uncertainty,
tips the balance just enough
to topple you off the cliff
into the valley below.
The sheers gravity of choice,
is unrelenting and absolute,
in the face of uncertainty.
You're blindfolded by fear,
bent over, to leer, too long,
into the valley below.
Uncertainty and

The Quest of Life
The quest of life, it is no certain thing,
No circumstance assurance brings of bliss.
So many thoughts, so very few take wing;
The hit or miss is measured more by miss.
Shall happiness take hold when we gain gold?
The heaping up of stuff shows little worth.
The misery of wealth is too well told;
Tranquility is not composed of earth.
Does

i have decided
not to write this poem
out of obligation
or a pathetic attempt to “sound good” —
because i am so tired;
i've timelessly grown weary
of being useless.
i have decided
not to write this poem
with belief that it will be read

I choose you
Of all the reasons why I love you
Perfect is not one of them
My flaws that you accept so well ,maybe?
No thats not why I love you not at all.
My habits that annoy you sometimes and you still tell me you love me anyway, hmm hmm that's not it either.
I love you because even though

Decisions
Actions speak louder than what we say,
A smile can mean more than a thousand words.
I watch how people move, how their true self.
The things left unsaid are often clearer.
Small details can speak louder than the sounds of birds.
It’s not what’s said, but what’s quietly done,
That shows the truth of the reason,
of what You try to

Decisions Can Save Your Life
No matter what problems come your way.
Your God is with you, to turn them into hurrays!
Even if your best friends, slap you right in the face.
I promise you that is the best gift and far from a disgrace!
God never did create any junk!
So stop feeing low, you are more than a low-life punk.
Comments are

Know Your Life
You gotta have it, if you can reach it, better grab it/
If you want it, you better wrap it and hold it tight/
Pass it down for generations if you know it's right/
Because it's all about your patience if you know your life/
Benjamin Franklin said it best.../
The only thing promised is death, so I hustle every
