In the dumps
Feeling rather lost
my darling mother passed
my heart feels ripped out
leaving me empty inside
She was 96; weak at the end
I know she was glad to go
she missed my father
and was pleased to join him
She was one hell of a lady
very strong willed to the end
she hated it when I cried
told me not to

Dog-Tired
Used to gad about town as such in my day
but don't get around much anymore
conked out zonked out
(perchance to dream)
I prefer to remain
housebound indoors
yes it's an age-old refrain
my dogs are barking
and my best guess they may really be
completely up the wrong tree entirely
but my best bet yet feeling my years
(the weight of the world)
I'm

Down in the Dumps
I once had me a dark-haired lover,
I was riding high on our romance.
She said she would be mine forever,
so, I decided to take the chance.
Then I found out she was the devil,
just all dressed up in an angel’s clothes.
She taught me the path to happiness,
is where I will never get to go.
I thought I could

Down the Dumps
Down the dumps
Fog everywhere, walking on a mass of corpses
sludge of rotting flesh, sinks deeper into arms and legs
embracing me like I should be one of them.
Swam ashore in the lake of loss, soup of death
banks of bones.
A woman in white helped me up; she too
a haze and disappeared.
Totter in a desert of nothingness, heard

South Africa Dumps Diapers On Streets, My Street
I
Please help me and poor, "Coloured" residents of Newtown, 5720, E.C. become "civilized" about basic environmental rules and practices. Government fails us at all levels. Yes, I am praying, talking to people here & churches, and also cleaning the street as I just did ( 8am, RSA TIME on Wednesday 2, February, 2022).

I wait, practice,

Through Disspare To Rejoicing
Through Dispare To Rejoicing
By Charles Gerald Patrick Chard 2nd
Chevra Gavri Hanita Hazaka Abir Selek 2nd
Am I alone ? Does GOD hear the prayers I pray ?,
For I wonder in my heart if HE hears anything I say,
So many questions of things I need answers too,
Sometimes I feel so tossed inside,unsettled and blue,
I feel HE

Down in the Dumps
Fog everywhere I’m walking on a mass of corpses
sludge of soft rotting soil. Sinking deeper, arms
and legs embracing me as I should be one of them.
In a lake of loss I swam ashore, a soup of death,
banks of bones, a woman in white helped me up...

Discovery Dumps Its Load
Discovery, while still in space
Dumped its bowels but left a trace
An arc of crystal pee and poo
Seen against the mid-night hue
Like a comet with its tail
As through darkness it did sail

Down In the Dumps
lifes a little joke but im not laughing
helpless to the things happening
wanting to grow and learn to laugh again
to heal old scars and avoid new bruises
to make new friends and honor old truces
scared to move yet must move on
all lifes story one long sad song
pick up the tempo sad wont work
im sick of depression sick
