Zen Mode

we do nothing
yet doings are done
in as ordained, perfectly

whilst engaging as needed
our vibrant nonchalance 
exits hypnotic trance

From Words - Everything

Words are a peculiar kind of magic.
Alone, they do nothing of themselves,
and yet through the Great Orchestrator
they became everything else.

Pain

The red in her eyes will stay forever.
She won't be happy, oh, not ever.
Her nights full of sorrow and tears,
will do nothing to control her fears.

Do Nothing

silence speaks
be quiet
please listen

do nothing
just be still
voids will fill

magnetism 
pervades form

Invoking grace

Save aligning with throb of love,
each touch mindful, like a peace dove,
we do nothing to alter fate
and have no agenda to state,

White As Snow

I'm never letting you go.
Your beautiful skin, white as snow.
There's nothing I can say that you don't already know.
But everytime I talk to you I do nothing but glow.

Silence With Freedom of Speech

Silence EQUALS Death. Again and again. But we have freedom, even here.

To Do Nothing More

May you be blessed at least once in your life
for a few moments 
to do nothing more
than sit upon an empty beach 
listening to the waves
as they wash against the shore.

Election Year

When beasts that can do nothing but roar
Meet creatures that can only ignore,
They always reach an impasse,
A pain for tiger and ass -
I'm glad it's only one year in four.

The only thing necessary
for the triumph of evil
is for good men
to do nothing.

Bertha Bea

Bertha Bea
Barbara Bathwork
will not do her 
homework
because she
wants to do nothing
but play all
day and not sleep
at night either.
So do not even 
bother her for
eternity.

Dent Your Pride

Does it dent your pride
Just going along for a ride
And not making your mark
When the day turns to dark
For the ones who do nothing
Will end up with nothing.

no interest in diddle daddle do nothing dan

diddle-daddle, do nothing Dan
fiddle faddled with Francine’s fan
he’s your guy said her sis, he’s your man.
Too lazy to leap from a frying pan?
He is a sloth said his neighbor, Fran.

Summer Laziness

Long summer days bid everyone
To finish the work to be done
But also think of ways
To do nothing but laze
In hammocks hung far from the sun.

My Sloth-Like Attitude

I purposefully do nothing.
My house can wait.
Mess delights me.
I thrive on it.

I purposefully do not care.
Wandering aimlessly.
Taking nothing seriously.
Enjoying my slothfulness.

Violated

The pain is nearly
unbearable. You are
filled with a deep sense of
violation and despair.
Yet you can do nothing
to save yourself,
just as no one else will do
anything to protect you.

Sleeping Man

look at him
he looks so dumb on his bed
i pity him
it's on the bed where lie the dead
nothing comes to a sleeping man 
but dreams,Pac said
a man can do nothing if all he has
is dreams.

Care

When I am lucid
I 
Dare nothing
Desire nothing
Do nothing

Free from

I am bound by
Need, greed, deed

I am care-full

Have Become Hostile

Have Become Hostile

These days politicians are all hostile,
While going through period of denial;
Can never trust;
Live life of lust;
Do nothing and everything away will file.

It Is Yours To Have

A warehouse of blessing has been set before you
Choose and take action and you may have it
Sit and do nothing it will pass you by 
You have hands, feet, eyes, and a mind
It is yours to have.
