Few have the courage,
To give trust another go,
In this day and age,
Especially if children are involved
So when someone,
Is the recipient of such a gift,
They must give thanks to the giver,
And make sure they know how big a deal it was to give out their trust,
In this day and age,
When there are a thousand reasons for not doing so,
By being honest at all times,
And cherish both the gift and the giver,
Help lighten their burden when they can,
But give back trust enough,
For them to feel confident within themselves,
By not being seen as one who wants to run their life,
And hope that only good can come out of that,
For the gift giver and the one accepting the gift,
That twenty years from now the gift is in good repair,
With no one is the worse for wear,
That is why this sort of courage is rare,
In this day and age.
Life has many ups and downs
Personally more ups than downs
A happy long life with many more years
A bunch more smiles than frowns
Surely one of the fortunate ones
The genes were a very huge factor
Ten kids and us at a baseball game
In the bleachers, we had our own sector
Nine were girls and then li'l ole me
The talk of our little old burg
The Ellison's have finally produced a boy
Biggest news our town had heard
Dancing in the streets, parties all night
A celebrity at a tender young age
Predicted to be spoiled with all those girls
To fawn over this sweet wee babe
Turned out sweet, a stunning specimen
Can still bring it at seventy-eight!
It's getting tougher and tougher, though
Can't handle any more on my plate!
Well that's my life in a nutshell, my friends
Unique I guess you could say
In this day and age of smaller families
Our story is rare nowadays

This morning as I was driving to work
A car passed by that was driven by a jerk.
He flew by me and then cut in front,
But I didn’t care much for his little stunt.
I dare not honk in this day and age;
He might just shoot me to show his rage;
Nor show my displeasure by flashing my brights;
lest I end up as the subject of a fight.
I pull beside him and look at him long;
He flips me off like I did something wrong.
This is my life; it’s such a pity;
my daily commute through the big city.
This daily commute is starting to suck;
going to work each day to make a buck.
I say to myself why not retire,
And quit this commute before I expire.
Let's reach out to
The LGBTQ.
Don't hate because
We're not like you.
Learn to accept people
For who they are.
Quirky, different, odd,
Or bizarre.
Bible thumpers swear
It's a sin.
They say they're saving our
Soul and our skin.
Close-minded and blind,
In this day and age.
With the bible in hand
And full of rage.
Overflowing with hate
And hypocrisy.
Religion has no place
In democracy.
We can live side by side
In autonomy.
Come to a place where;
There is peace and equality.
We are not a disease,
It will not infect your children.
We are not evil, a monster
Nor a villain.
We are good solid people,
Yet, you refuse to see.
You and your god; it means,
Danger for people like me.

A law-abiding citizen is
One who keeps the law.
There are many of them,
Of this, I am sure.
Sadly there are others,
Who live a life of crime,
Conning and conniving,
And never serving time.
Why does this happen?
How does this come about?
Law-abiding people,
Find it hard to work out.
People in high places,
Often get off scot-free,
Why are there no rules for them,
But strict rules for you and me.
Lawyers have a responsibility,
To follow the letter of the law,
Not looking for gratuities,
As the offender walks out of the door,
Footloose and fancy-free,
Confident in his next court case,
He will win as easily.
What sort of world do we live in
When we cannot trust the law,
Filled with war crimes and sin.
What do we employ Lawyers for
In this day and age,
People cannot stand much more,
It's time to turn the page,
It's time that crooked lawyers
Become a thing of the past.
They say
?There are a million ways?
To say I love you

I could only find
?In my computer’s brain?
The words

of the 10,000 languages
?Spoken on this planet
Someday I may be able
?To say the simple words
?I love you?
In all know languages?
This will have to suffice for a start
So I will say it
?Loud, and clear?
Just so you understand:

To the abode
I offer information overload
You can’t tell
Fact from fiction
That’s exactly what we want
To continue this friction
Of us versus them
Them against they
Me against you
Add to the mix
Nobody has a clue
Of what is true
And what is a lie
All they seem interested in
Is watching you die
Emotions run high in this day and age
Where racism rules
And fascists rage
The powder keg has been lit
And the country has gone to s**t
Half live in the absurd
The other half in the blurred
One thing is for sure
2020 has been one big turd!!!
Who’s responsible?
Eric (and sometimes not)
In this day and age, when happy seems vacant
Where people’s hopes appear forever distant,
It’s the little things that see you through the day
Often it seems, in the most trivial way.
A simple smile might spice up your day
Maybe an ‘hello’, said in a friendly way
Or a driver, who lets you pull out in front,
Or the boss who’s ill, you would normally confront.
To stumble across a coin, when you’re stony broke,
Bump into an old friend, when it’s years since you spoke,
Receive some flowers, right out of the blue
Or complete the crossword you thought you could never do.
Wake up with the thought - ‘it must be Monday’,
Only to then realise, actually it’s Sunday,
Or a kiss from a loved one, with an ‘I love you’
There’s no greater act that anyone can do!
It’s the little things that can give you hope
A gentle ‘pick me up’ when it’s hard to cope.
Whatever it is, that brightens your day
We must conclude- ‘it’s surely god's way!!’
I'm here to bust wide open
The hidden world of poetry
Some of the things I've witnessed
Most of the things I've seen
It goes deep beyond measure
Even deeper than I fear
In the laughter of its rhythm
Through the rhyming of its tears
When you take poetry to the heart
Like a literary worm it burrows deep
Listen close when I say it's so
I know cause it's happened to me
Where it works it's way into the brain
So it's all you think about
Listen my friends as I tell you all this
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
I'm not trying to say to stay away
Just a warning to be mindful
In this day and age that's so close to the edge
It never hurts to be extra careful
While some may call me a traitor
Letting go secrets that shouldn't be known
I'm standing strong and refuse to run
I just felt you should be warned...
It is Valentine's day and I find myself brooding
as I sift through thoughts both perpetual and
disquieting;
I watch the crowds as they piously enter the card
shop for that sanctimonious day of love and passion
What do I know about love and the hunger games?
Life has sent me a series of boyfriends that go
swifter then they come. Leaving me in transient
motion and rocking frame.
No, I have no reverence for that clamorous day
of cards, blue mascara and silk slips that throne the
bedroom with sensuous hips that swing in fervidness
and lust;
I refuse to be his middle pass. Lost in a disquietude of
feverish resentment I cling to the fantasy of saving
grace and heroes of the past that show amorousness
not with fired loins but through chivalry & courtesy;
Yes, I thirst for the good old days of longitude and time;
The vehemence of my strong belief originates from past
histories that repeat without empathy and give;
No effervescence of full boy will ever claim my heart
except the love of a true one nothing else will do;
In this day and age of texting and sexting, glass tap
messages pale in my arena of love. I'd rather live in a
castle of fairy tales, then in a world of veneration to
to the holy bod and boob.
So on this Valentine day I will part the valance of doubt
and hope that I can find someone who can truly be mine.
