Maneuvers' the ‘Enola Gay’, chosen...

Suspended in perpetual animation
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
From hours of travel though inches gained
Spewed forth from the bowels of existence I stand
Before me lies the road

Like a pond turned solid...

GOODLUCK 

Gutless muffled monarch wooed millions to the poll,
Oozing pathetic speech of poverty (I once had no shoes) 
On congruent grounds we let him, though we hated his coterie.
Disappointed, we wail, waiting substitute to end...

THE GREATEST PERFORMANCE OF MY LIFE

Ahhh… I had performed so many characters in my life.
A mother, then a single mother with all its encumbrances
of being a breadwinner, a homemaker and sometimes

I’ve taken many a walk by myself…seen the sunrise…
been greeted by a morning breeze
walked along the streets, the sand…followed a path among the trees.

Poor folk line the bottom floor
While the educated are in the middle
Because the rich MUST tip the top
So they can condescend to the little

A song that must be sung
That melody is sweeter

Many of them silly, many about love

Honey...

Yes, dear.

When a woman and a man get married,
why does the woman traditionally stand on the man's left,
rather than his right?

Most men are LeftBrain right hand dominant.
So they're used to keeping that hand free

We slum dwellers strive through arduous thistles of hardship
We tough it out through the mere adroitness of apprenticeship
We writhe morosely, carrying the world over our shoulders
But we tussle toughly the travails like soldiers

More Thoughts To Ponder
Written: by Miracle Man
1-22-2020
