Shiny and Darkened

Today 
I choose the Browned-Coin...

So here's my big insight.
My two cents worth,
which will remain worth only a penny
unless it somehow aligns with your penny
for thoughts and shared feelings.

What if we put our human nature genie 
back in Earth's home-nature...

Oceans and Winds

I have an obsequious unnatural inclination
To sustain my external compulsions 
And convert them to a pre-text of a sub-text

With their noxious
Poisonous weasel words
?The NRA says
Mass shootings? 
Are like the weather
?You can’t control them
You can’t predict...

Levees broke; Homes were broken, Stores broken into,

Survival of the fittest, trying to live another day...what else could they do?

Memories demolished, Lives abolished, not to mention no food!

When someone gives me a penny for my thoughts
They end up putting their two cents in

Deep in the intense, immense conversation
How would you handle my situation?
Better be firm when...

It’s time to pack the rocket,
Because there’s no need for cars.
For our first vacay,
That’s as far away,
As the wonderful world of Mars.

Yes that’s what the brochure said;
It’s a wonderful world out there.
So grab the yout’s,
And...

I couldn't care
Two cents
I'm a nuisance
To rebuttal and conclude this
My intrusion
Is a disturbance

But won't listen
You are me

bound by your own hand
held captive by words on your own lips
but it is the very words unspoken
haunting your thoughts
obscuring reality blackened by self...
