A yes or no is imperative; you must be all ears,
Guts must be taught to grab both decisions equally,
Sins are made through impetuousness;
Sit tight, think loud, be gentle with your thoughts;
A journey to the right side of your heart; flows through a tunnel of pity,
Stick with your backbone; strip with a sense of genuineness,
Condense all the haze, decisions made crystal clear like glass,
No guilt and no regrets of your past can interrupt the decisions.
Infer from what the response has served to you, take action.
A yes or no is imperative, can save you from being a liability for yourself,
also for others.

Blue Jay
I cupped the fallen fledgling in my palm,
And unwittingly, caused the neck
To retract the mere measure as had
Raised the hand.
Lowering the foundling, the head rose.
Really? I continued. Down, up;
Extend, retract, eyes fixed
Always at the horizon.
Was it the avian gyroscope
Tacking as if to turbulence,
Or since motion can betray
Location - best feign frozen?
(Once they mused about millennia hence
But scarcely would’ve thought that whence
The confluence of Saurian and Simian roar
Could ever have writ so poorly a score
As has devolved to: cheep; rap nonsense)
I shall call you Icarus for impetuousness
Has got you to ground; like your hapless
Namesake, he from tempting high C,
You, before finding your key.

As I drive across highway ninety
thinking of what I'm about to do
a possible change in my destiny
a life altering breakthrough
Not sure what will happen to me
listening to my heart, what , I have a choice
can I trust what my eyes will see
or listen to my mind, not her voice!
I've made many mistakes in my life
from my *balls to the walls* impetuousness
has caused so much heartache and strife
cannot have anymore undo stress.
So, with this ride across highway ninety
whatever happens, I will own my destiny

The Iraq war was illegal, unjustified and needless,
The country should never have been invaded;
It was an assertion of distrust and disconnection,
And diplomacy talks should never have been evaded.
With nuclear weapons still functional,
The east and dictatorial regimes need trust,
To educate them about democratic government,
And direct them towards the free world’s must.
Representative governance is the must,
The electorate of the people must preside,
Over matters of community and association,
To wield out what’s required by the inside.
Blair showed impetuousness and recklessness,
When he did not trust the Iraqi government,
When they promised they had no weapons,
Of mass destruction for a western armament.
Russia is now talking, maybe acting up,
And we must interact with her warmly,
‘Cos it is the west that destroyed the respect,
When Iraq was impinged upon coldly.

You had me blown out, baggage and baffled
Our love was on the ropes
Blockages of darkness crawling, festering
To trust in you as much
As a clown painted black
A dirge without delivery
In shame and ruthlessness
I determined to press nerves
Or venture without substance
But when the storm and wreckage passed
I still hear your voice crystallized
The shining gem of your impetuousness
Slowly you pull me back
And offer your greatest hope
As excitement turns the page
