End Game
Mortality is setting in I feel it in my bones I feel it more in my heart and soul Real life losses are hammering the point home This is not a long game we play Time on earth devoured by work, obligations, and bills Simple joys enjoyed more Time with loved ones becomes more important than things Memories invade Straining to remember...

Premium Member End Game Conclusion
When you’re dying of terminal sadness, It’s easy to fall for false cures, Distracted by tempting amusements Whose needs seem more pressing than yours. When you’re two moves adjacent to checkmate In the game of asserting control, You’ll get ghosted and gas-lit, By a gold-digger’s gambit Hell bent for a piece of your soul. ...

End Game
Countless pages of heartbreak and balancing wages I’m tired of waiting ages and writing about my blues. Cuz all I thought about, was you… Putting a pen to paper Re-reading words that faded. Because what I want is love destined for greatness. Love shared and exchanges, fair With like minds and passionate chemistry Without toying, put me down; pick me...

End Game
Asking for your support not your agreement I looked into your eyes Seeing rejection your stare blank and cold our connection was untied Your words became hollow your touch nondescript new distance did we share Alone while together the ending in sight —finality laid bare (Dreamsleep: July, 2023)...

End Game
I figured it out A long time ago. Call it a hunch; Bulls-eye! With an arrow. Faith and wisdom will Sort it all out. Pieces of a puzzle Strewn all about. Good and evil, No neutral ground. Can't ride the fence Or step out of bounds. "God, help me!" I can't Do this alone forever. "Can't beat 'em, join 'em?" I said, "Not me! Not ever!" God has a plan and I...

The End Game
I'm bunged up. I need a filter for my gutter. My bone-headed Doctor reckons I don't eat right but 'Little Debbie' Donuts are my delight as I binge-watch re-runs of Game of Thrones. Blood, gore, and sugar - but i'm stuffed and must take the cure. Now I dare not stray far from my own porcelain throne....

Right now is a good time for an endgame; This moment, not tomorrow or the next day; Hesitation is jealous of ambition; Listen to your foolish grin; For everything restless inside of you? Stop waiting; The art of knowing, merely the starting block; Opportunities look for you to courageously jump; Fall in love again and again, relentlessly explore...

Premium Member End Game - Panmunjom, July, 1953
Three years of 'police action,' Conducted according to The doctrine of 'limited war,' In order to pursue A policy of 'containment.' Police action? Containment? Limited war? Guess that’s why I don’t feel like Patton Pissing in the Rhine. War is all hell. Don't sugar coat it....

When the end comes nobody will know Stop sitting and waiting for God’s final show It’s time for our actions and to get things done This world we are creating is absolutely no fun Think of your kids, we must teach them class There are too many people now parked on their a$$ This is not the right time for this...

Retirement
Retirement Retirement sounds so appealing Perhaps a time to regenerate Gather energy rather than spend It on the labors of mid-life and The needs of those we serve Stay a while play a while Bask in the soft light of whim and Fancy picking the day’s adventure As we eat our breakfast rather than Having to consult the day planner For work scheduled beforehand No calls...

Grotesque Blind query No plots of glory To find Justification Of being bound To heartache Intense Belonging Personification Of trees Enlightenment Autumn shining Through the colors Blasting Through casting Shadows Brought upon The angles of the moon Full towards The end game Being that it may Open minded Closed By the pain But facing The evils Death Entails Loss But we learn Everything has value And processed Correctly Brings about Positive Energy Towards life And enlightenment With the moon And its rays Of fullness Upon Your heart To be filled With peace Without The grotesque And blindness Lost upon Glory Now has power Over nothingness To bring Greatness To all Russell...

Letter To the End Game
Hope, that sounds so familiar to me, I remember whenever I was a kid and it was so new to me. Something fresh when the world had color, Now everything seems so dark and bitter. Considered walking with Jesus? Used to be all me, I used to followed him faithfully. Now look at me? Without an ounce of faith...

The union of hellions and the hallowed In an effort to further each of their unique and twisted agendas Gives forth the notion that equality must be dictated In an effort to promote the rank and file Mediocrity is rewarded There is no distinction made between the competent and the indolent Without acknowledgment, excellence ceases to flourish and is crushed The weak...
