Use Time Expediently
Written: by Miracle Man
5/13/2024
Yesterday’s are always unforgiving,
for hourglass sand can’t defy gravity.
Thoughts should be on time we’re living,
we shouldn’t live life in depravity.
We cannot alter the hands of time,
nor learn what amount remains.
But know it shortens with each clock chime,
and once used, affords us no refrains.

OH!
You punched holes in my system
Now, I am incontinent
I can't hold water for a second
You blame it on indiscipline
You licked my mind
Now , I am permeable
I can't sieve immigrant thoughts
You blame it on gullibility
You dragged my true self
Now, I am a masquerader
I can't meet the world without the mask
You blame it on cowardice
You attack every step of mine
Now, I am calculative
I can't choose expediently
You blame it on Indecision
Oh Society !!!

A Christmas wonderland greeted me immediately
Train delivering gifts to Christmas tree expediently
Miniature snow village with blinking lights gave thrills
Santa and Mrs. Claus dancing next to snowy hills
Knitted into stockings – Christmas cats and snowmen too.
Jesus surrounded with angels, in a heaven of light blue.
A nativity scene with a baby lying in a manger of hay.
A gingerbread house with frosting harder than clay.
Three wise men, one turned with his face to the wall.
He was hit yesterday with a grandson’s ball.
There are six trees – in different colors, all lit up.
They are dressed in themes by Ms. Buttercup.
One is full of bubble lights that make it incredible.
A gingerbread tree has a sign that says it is edible.
There is a color wheel that changes silver tree’s color.
There are tiny Christmas mice hidden one place or another.
It’s a magical place; we only get to see it once a year.
There are peppermint candies, and chocolate fudge near.
There is a cinnamon smell, and mistletoe hanging.
It is truly busy, but I am not complaining.

The beach was warm the air was warm and funny
I spied the boy almost immediately
The day started out happy, gaily, sunny
But how would I meet him expediently?
Shook out my beach towel with the bright pink bunny
Begged sister to stop looking repeatedly.
Had forgotten for a minute this is Spain
Handsome lad came by at the first drop of rain
Is this seat taken? He asked, sitting down hard.
My titter laugh carried clearly and loudly.
He was a witty clever poetry bard.
Smug in a cute way, not totally proudly.
I offered him a brownie made from fresh lard.
Took a bite and said with a flirtatious wink
Into your hazel eyes I quickly could sink.
Malvarrosa Beach was never so pretty
The boy’s magical ways spoke close to my heart
I too became very clever and witty
Mesmerized by deep brown eyes, love at her start
Just a memory but please do not pity,
For thanks to Camarlench’s powerful ink,
My muse has been playing and stays in the pink.

All around the wide world,
a new flag poised to be unfurled,
when all the peoples obtain sympathy,
we can live as one upon empathy.
Even the haters, ignorant and violent,
will be brought to thoughts pertinent.
First they must have safety,
and then control over their economy,
Only then will they be set free.
But without structures to support empathy,
war will rein supremely.
And human's inhumanity to each other;
on flame's embers we'd smoother -
everyone and all together.
If we don't spread empathy expediently,
and distinguish it from sage blither.
Then, we are cut apart by a social scissor
Toward empathy, yea must all come hither.

Snowstorm
Fight for the barrage of snowflakes begins,
Their primary intention is to take over and to win,
The troops rush in only to dissipate,
The successors expediently charge in t’were fate,
Racing in with a fierce fight,
Taking life and causing it to turn white,
Unlike a maverick,
These experienced soldiers reek havoc,
Smothered in a big, white blanket,
So that the opposition is now overtaken,
They fictitiously presume they’ve won,
Oh No, but look here comes the sun.

Choices Do a Fine Journey Make
Living the journey to knowing.
Delivering wonderful news.
A voyage to understanding—
Truths passing through minds’ defuse.
Never forced, always free to pick.
Joy or sorrow by choice accrues.
Wisdom and charity loves quick.
Insights soon make hatreds diffuse.
Together…living…learning tour.
Amid friends, loves, cares, and shared days.
Preparing for eternity.
By practicing heavenly ways.
Life's expedition of choices—
The path to wisdom, a great trip,
Expediently making truces.
Should kindnesses ever slip.
Joyfully searching thoughts and facts.
Mesmerized by theories mistakes.
All mysteries riding their track
There searching does my journey make.

Agony has vanquished amist the smoldering abyss of the sirens flame.
Peace rages within my soul as my heart clings to the cataclysm of freedoms
whisper.
The flaws of the fiery furnace were expediently exposed by Elohim's Angel of
ages.
My apparel omits neither fragrance nor ashen residue, as only my shackles were
tempted by the seething sadism of the infernos tantrum.
Shadows of the Christ - Man cometh, to liberate my mortal being from carnal
captivity in an era before He Himself would be adorned with flesh, in order that
He might emancipate my spirit from the furnace of death.
I rejoice with my brothers as we sip sumptuously upon the celestial dew of
salvation, sporadically spun from the tapestry of Elshaddai's sartorial splendor.

Let's see
Up at three
Feed the baby
Back under the sheets
For a couple hours of sleep
Kids up for breakee
Gulping my tea desperately
Rush them to school gleefully
Walk the baby expediently
This being my time for me
Back home to clean insistently
Do three loads of laundry
Flee for groceries
Video Game Rentals late constantly
Go to work in my office impatiently
Where things have piled up overwhelmingly
Hubby claims I'm grumpy
Instead of crying I laugh hysterically
Baby bellows loudly
Time to change his nappy
Phone rings twenty times daily
Say I never call a bit angrily
Can't explain my life so harry
Don't want it to come out sounding scary
So I apologize gracefully
Kids home noisily
I'm panicky
My office work is not done completely
Oh well, its time to get them to hockey
Feed them first to keep them healthy
Bath time comes busily
Bedtime is love and kisses and favourite stories
Baby sleeping beautifully
My feet are up now restfully
Oops, I forgot to pee!
I assess my day on the toidy
Would I change my life at forty?
Are you kidding
Not this life inspired journey!
