Premium Member From the 1960's To the 2020's

In the '60's I thought we were headed to the Stoned Age
    Psychedelics were huge, PCP was everywhere
  Yet by the '80's America had turned the page
    Teen-agers newly serious, off came their hair ... 

  And today, post-pandemic, where do we stand
    Seems it's every man for himself
      ~ Never mind where we land

Every Man For Himself

Peculiar,
I caught you weeping,
On the side of the street,

To console you,
Is that up to me to be done?

I’d think to you
I'm just another person on the road

But in a world so everchanging
When trust is always broken,
And hope, never given

I don’t think I’ll be making the mistake
Of turning back
And gazing your eyes
Again

Mind of a Pesimist

Shakespeare brought good to life
Human nature to find the person deep within
Every man for himself
Humans of individuality all so different
Be stronger upon now
The path of a different way lays before ourkind
Community cut; slices our artery of connection
No need to associate ourselves
In times association sourced survival
Once weak and nor wise - we die
In times it masks of false happiness

Good

"Why can't we all get along?" For the good of all Why cant little kids share a ball So they can play together until tall Who is that teaching them how not to share In schools, every man for himself, no care Competitive world of cultures, religion, technology, status, appearance, even air Like nature's children Even the dangerous listen The equilibrium for all and peace in the system

Premium Member A World at War with Itself

         Football’s not a game, it’s a weekend war
    Baseball’s a battle a day, myriad games played

         Business is cutthroat competition
    ‘Dog-eat-dog’ ~ every man for himself

          Hollywood and hospitals: grapevines
     like lightning, with stab-in the backers

     Computer systems assaulted by malware and hackers
          
          No easy answers to a world at war
          No one questioning what life is for
