And through the hiss and static 
I heard my mind say
kindness is humanity's default setting
everything else is just pain

tick-tock's bite

Not the sort to default or beg
You halt lunch to earn a nest egg
Yet Trump’s tariff plan
Needs a Peter Pan
To stop the croc crunch on your leg

Obsession to splurge cannot halt!

All of Hers

Woman's charm 
Adds the calm 
To the cause 

Woman's grace 
Poise and pace 
To applause 

By default 
Let's exalt 
All of hers

Miles of ocean cable
Mostly North Atlantic
Many attempts it took
Meaning could have been lost
More likely weak signals
Morse code was the default

Bang, Bang - Gotcha

Cops and robbers, we used to play
      Our default way to pass the day

   We'd trade off, so we'd not get too bored
      Not enough excitement, too little reward

Zen mode

in the realm of Self there is no thought
may silence then be our default orientation 
poised in stillness as awareness self-aware
animating the vibrant void of cessation

Leap Year's Poll Vault

Leap Year's "poll" vault
Olympic primary trials
Push-over leaps by party default
others limp away with denials.
Sis boom bah; blah, blah, blah,

You Lose By Default

You lose by default
When you do not try
What are you going to do?
When your life passes you by
Just get at it
Be willing to take action
Open up your mind
Fulfill your obligation

Truth In Default

All the young Jews,
all the young Christians,
all the young Muslims,
debt to confuse

Abraham crying,
prophesy fading,
hellish debentures

Done

Nothing turned out right
I'd wished and tried
It isn't their fault
It's rightfully mine

Maybe I should have tried harder
Now I'm on the run
Because by default
I'm the one that is done.

Let Them Come

When to Jesus little children were brought
his disciples pushed them away for they thought
     his time they did waste.
     “Your views are misplaced,
for in God's Kingdom belong these by default.”

The Last Swan

The sun in arrears,
  its moon in default

With stars in foreclosure,
  the cosmos to halt

All time repossessed,
  the Creator has gone

Awaiting implosion,
 —that last singing swan

A-Lone Wolf

a-lonewolf may stand tall
all pride, stride, and thrall
at times in which they fall
a-loneliness starts to crawl

the abrupt long for someone
animating desires to be one
shut down at the sight of ego
default to the outcast hero
