The Series of our Lives?


Hubristic jives…hollistic skives….the series of our lives?

BazBull dives & deprives and Stokesy only just survives

Worst ever Ashes was a kids bid just playing with knives

Connives but no revives must be banished to the archives 

Sate our thirst or egos burst just boozy hives & golf drives

Collapse

The collapse 

They built an edifice
On a shining hill and
A sandcastle
Here the truth was
Spoken hubristic 
One can say
However, they believed in 
In the illusion
A man came and stepped
On the castle, it crumbled
Lies and shenanigans
Toppled out for all to see
It was just sand. 
The hatred turned to 
The truth-teller
He was called a traitor
Rots in a tiny prison cell.

Embellish My Day

Embellish My Day

Embellish my day into a full life worthy to be lived in your presence. 
Erase my nonchalance and hubristic thoughts before the fiery declivity
consumes this life and body. The bird's song is gibberish in my thoughts; 
matching my heart and life. Seeing a happy family reminds me of my sadness.
Dry tears sting my eyes and laughter is removed far from my being. 
Renew and enhance my spirit. Mold me for your purposes.
