Patterns in life are meant to stay
Patterns in life are meant to break
Routines provide comfort in life
Routines provide ruts of patty-cake
Life has chapters that open and close
Life has opportunities to remake
Now is the time to consider a change
Now is the time to consider a shake
Self devourer
Bitter feelings
Ranging
From past or present incidents
Making you intense or dangerous.
Anger is danger
Always leaving you bitter
Your actions
Determines the end result
Either it better you or it bitter you
For every action, there's a ripple effect.
Anger
It disrupt your health
It disrupt your sense of reasoning
Furiously avenging
Without discernment
Leads to regression
Causing emotional distress
Control your anger, so you don't disrupt yourself.
When others
play by the rules,
in their comfort zones,
my spirit
craves
the unknown.
My soul
only knows
to disrupt,
to innovate,
to rewrite
the game.
Longshanks drainpipe and whistle through the day.
pterodactyls got it easy in this wide-open sky,
they glide too far up to be real anymore.
The beady-eyed slinkers that wriggle under our plodding boots,
they also avoid the earthshaking heaviness of light sleepers.
Beyond the curtains, a plastic pelican
has got its bill and belly stuck on a satellite dish,
now we can only receive small-minded thoughts in a soup bowl.
Strong winds are disrupting sleep patterns,
static pictures can only take baby steps or crawly shuffles.
Leggy winds go out to play in front of green screens,
illusions, made to promote the good-looking and perky.
Disrupt and Corrupt
America, Putin and Trump want to disrupt;
Much that this could end up being corrupt;
For sure we know,
And I told you so;
With you about this we want to be abrupt.
Jim Horn
Corrupt and Disrupt
Trump sure seems to be so corrupt
Does desire our country to disrupt
Screw things up to very lost thread
When I see him always do dread;
We wish his end would be abrupt.
James Thesarious Hilarious Horn
Retired Veteran and Poet
Seek to know now
That abrupt feel
That seems to plough
A brand new thrill
Seek to go forth
With ample grace
Right up true north
To find your space
Seek just to be
Calm vivid poise
Where you can see
To hurl pure voice
Seek to know truth
In witty play
That offers proof
Through night and day
Seek to be true
In all you do
For love now cues
To win and woo
