At the age of sixty five he was accepted for employment
at a business dispatching organic, non hybrid, heirloom seeds
His specific duties found him in the garden
preparing soil, planting out pulling weeds
The tools that were used would sometimes seem to vanish
No matter where he searched unable to locate them, so outlandish !!
When the owner of the business found the tools that were required
" you've only had a boys look " a frustrated comment she uttered in despair
He could have replied , it's the only way I know, 'cause I'm not a girl
your remarks are discrimination and totally unfair
Instead he accepted her response as an accolade
I only had a boys look 'cause I wish to remain forever young
There are many situations where words have intensive connotations
Just be careful how you utilise your tongue
The profascist enforcements
with lead jacket endorsements
will rate your performance
dispatching with diligence
violence and indifference
the idea of innocence
and rebrand it insolence.
Thank you for your attention on this blather.
Today’s Thought
By: Miracle Man
11/4/2024
Every morning just before day breaks,
come thoughts, God is dispatching my way.
Before the rest of the house awakes,
I'm arranging my thoughts for today.
Today’s Thought
It's easy recalling your struggles,
that to ME you are yet beholding.
But you give scant thought to the struggles,
that I've prevented from unfolding.
Follow me,it's this way Alice
Through the woods to the white Queens Palace
On the way we'll stop for tea
to visit old friends you'll be glad to see
Then you'll rest up so as to feal cocky
before you face the Jabberwocky
Some days you'll grow and some you'll shrink
Some days your chained to the kitchen sink
The twins are waiting as is the Hatter
You'll witness the transformation of matter
A worm will appear and dissolve in a poof
First at your side then on a roof
And when this journey nears it's close
Another fearful sight has arose
You'll defeat the red queen without backin
dispatching her champion when you slay the Kracken
Come hurry now,We're running late
For this your auspicious tryst with fate
Bernard has been begging
Bernard has been begging Lord God ‘Please’
For life of buffeting unease
Bernard’s lung’s finest sound an odd where,
He’d been trying all his life to ease:
Lots of menthol that should make him sneeze
And all over again taste sweet breeze…
Bernard has been dispatching his please,
God asking where he might him appease;
During Winter seeming he would freeze
Often no better than frozen cheese;
The countenance of White smeared with Grease
From head to toe captive for release…
Bernard plans not to stop Hoped-On Please
Not when one’s captor is Smiting Disease…
Eye of newt, wing of bat,
A dab or a dollop of dragon fat,
Stirred in a pot o'er a witch's flame,
A potion for love, or riches, or fame,
Or delousing a kid, a dog, or a cat,
Or dispatching a spouse, or suspending a spat.
As much as time changes,
what remains is the same,
the same dirt on the ground,
scattered around and above,
devil's chasing and catching,
injecting and dispatching fake love,
sympathy sweet on strings of violins,
laughing at violence in symphony,
why listen when voices wallow,
they are hallow lacking substance,
lies are sharper to yourself and cruel,
oh and pity those who believed,
left bereaved of the truth found in a fool.
These are among my favorite things
Drinking coffee in the morning
While watching the news
And writing in my journals
Recalling my dreams.
Talking to my wife
When she wakes up
Filling the room
With the light
Of her love.
Dispatching my nightmares
Replacing them
With love and happiness.
Drinking tea
In the afternoon
As I work on my blog.
Evening drinking wine
At sunset
With my wife
The love of my life.
By my side
As long as I have her
I am the richest person
In the world.
Despair short-circuits the will to believe ~~
Dispatching its victims to the realm of defeat.

Blood-soiled hands waiting for a mere barrage!
Soldiers in camouflage
Who had at hapless souls fired in a fuselage,
Several times hitting the four- times smart mirage;
In their honest opinion avenging a sabotage,
When they were time killing in their ménage
And some dropped- from- the- air soldier
Wasted the president’s entourage
Dispatching Spoke person Roger…
But it was some other fingers still blood-red
That did the killer triggers massage
Turning out some twenty for the death bed!
In searching of peace
soul of writings sought hermitic milieu
O loneliness of mind shrine
know that you’re curse!
O loveless love of wedding heart
know that you’re curse!
On the nib of starry pen
all words of loneliness and cruel love were dancing
the pen grinned by the feathers of outcast love!
Oh! the silent head tomb devours the writers penning insight
at the end no peace was there
from strolling vacationer to whole unknown
the writer was dispatching in absconding .....!
by this way alone bard is decaying!

Our spring arrived! Its welcomed rebirth, so
resplendent- yet, confined from it, are we;
together, home alone- nowhere to go,
ruled by a monster-virus we can't see,
dispatching fears of its life-changing blow-
God- bring us back to normal times- we plea.

Last letter of the first word of each line

Existence evaporating in loves empty extinguishing,
Resistance resonating amidst forthcoming futile exile;
Distance desecrating dreams dormant diminishing,
Subsistence sacrificial amongst hominids hostile.

Disappearing divinity divergent of idols imaging,
Fearing forever fading loves upon vacant voids;
Appearing apparitions abandoned forever finishing,
Domineering demons dispatching destructive droids.

Decisions
Decisions can be hard to make...
dependent often on the heart.
Dispatching to the mind can wake
discoveries that sometimes smart.
Direction from clear goals may lure
discretion that might reassure
distinctive edge that saves heartbreak.
