Tiresome Errands Chanso Form
Tiresome errands (Chanso or Chanson)

For many of us, errands are so boring;
Many crucial things to do to show status
rather than wasting time doing routine jobs;
Like, taking Selfie in a new dress, so glaring;

Let’s see, at first as it begins to happen
 it feels like your life is being flattened
By a big ole dozer.
It is an especially dire , disheartening fate,
When one’s...

All her life each day, all she done was quarreled.
Another one I met, all she does is sit and bets.
Spending all her time and money, which...

In the great scheme of life, many choices you make,
Where to work, who to date, your yard when to rake.

Who you love and end up with, is...

Death comes to all of us though in varying effects.

Flesh. blood and bone are we, held together by

this looks like heaven but feels like hell...a purgatory prison in a frozen cell

People chatting everywhere, sounds of laughter fill the air

Hold it jumping knife

Under velvet willows

For All Women
Put your hair up,

Let's see those pretty eyes,
Smile with grace.

Cover your shoulders,
Shorts past your hands.
Closed toe shoes,

Your waist must be small.
Large chest, big...

  Ice cream parlours, sagging deckchairs...

Within the pages of a book
I find sanctuary, a quiet nook,
Where I often retreat and find

Whenever I just feel like getting away
From the rigors of life on any day,

If guns don’t kill people 
Why are so many people dead
Another moms child 
shot in the head
Blackboards white chalk

A teacher killed
For something she said
Victim after victim
Demons need to be fed
On violence they’ve been...

To find a way it can reasonably economize

Ritual religion an abomination

Just how wrong no one can tell

Don't let them in they dress like slobs
