Assume and Presume
We impute to the animal kingdom
human thoughts and emotions
My kitty licks herself, so I assume
she's a cleanliness bug
Yet when a big kitty, like a tiger

I presume that she's starving
when

Devotion Poem Anniversary
DEVOTION POEM 39th ANNIVERSARY
On this stilled night,
Dare I presume?
After a listening to the way
Einstein came to realize his
Relativity realities,
Dare I presume to sit once overagain in memory
In a student center’s crowded circumstances…?
To choose you, to offer a share of my
Sandwich, snapping a mental photo of your hands,
Which in our years I

Do Not Presume To Tell Me How To Love You
The difference of who you were to me then
to who you are now...
Lies in the words you use to explain how you feel.
I used to be a beautiful energy you were drawn to,
now I "was" a safe spot to explore the attraction of energies,
where your heart

Presume Nothing
As we go through life, are we not to gain wisdom?
Learning to do or to say the appropriate thing?
I thought by now that it would not be a problem.
But I made a mistake, and I feel the sting.
I like to think that I have some insight.
That I am sensitive to others needs.
But looking at this

Republicans and period of time provoking
Jumping Jehoshaphat you gotta be joking
Always know when a woman will have one
Trump is glad when she is over and done.
Erogenous Trump is being energetic
Thinking women will only be copacetic
To him what about women is the best
His has been hard while hers is to digest.
No matter what

Plenty of Room I Presume
Plenty of Room I Presume
For every breath which I will take
Some say a difference it does make
God sends Son again to save us all
Not wanting to disturb you or appall.

For us here now never meant to last
For who I am go ahead and accept me
With Son and better

Never Presume
A man’s lack of worth, because of dismal origin,
We should never presume
For
Out of, the unappealing thorny body of a cactus,
The prettiest flowers bloom!

Presume
You presume it seems
you know me
Yet your words and actions show me
you seek not
below the surface of my pond
There beyond
your own reflection
where you view me through your perception
and it shows
