whose idea it was

Sometimes though it’s clear
The lessons of history
Were never learned
In the first place.

Premium Member listening to my body

I am hungry I think
my body shakes with blubbery laughter
now I want sugar
she cries happy tears
getting what she was after in the first place

If you leave tonight, 
I’ll cry
But if I never see you again,
I won’t remember you
Or recall ever feeling this way in the first place

fumbling, embarrassed and too a red face,

Premium Member There Are No Problems, Only Solutions

"There are no problems, only solutions,"
is what many of the hip people say,
but if there are truly no problems and only solutions,
then why do we need solutions in the first place?

Premium Member Don't Be Dismayed

Don’t be dismayed at something that goes on forever.
It never happened in the first place —
only a slanting aspect of the constantly reconfigured patterns
nature loves to play on an uncertain sky.

Let's Chill

In this ??cold weather?,
Don't give me the ??cold shoulder?
because you have ?#cold feet? about us.
We were skating on thin ??ice? with our first date.
But how else could we have tested the? waters??
I mean, that's why people break the ice in the first place..

Bull In a China Shop

Who the f*** do I think I am
Skipping through delicate situations
In motherfreaking rain boots
Forgetting my place
Forgetting why I came to this china shop in the first place
With my bull horns tucked out of sight
And shades of red blurred behind a painted pinkish grin

What will happen to humanity When robots are completing tasks We can do naturally? Will we forget what we were once able to do easily? Will we program them to teach us What we were once able to do in the first place? Kale Brereton Sept 9/9/18

Hate

hate
is a word for someone
you no longer trust

hate
is a word for someone
you no longer love

hate 
is a word for someone
you gave your heart to
and they broke it

hate
was made for the person
who you never should have trusted
with your heart in the first place

Premium Member Rehumanize the Dehumanized

How to rehumanize the dehumanized?
That is the crux of the problem.
A perplexing question.
A philosophical quandary.
Let’s not dehumanize them in the first place an eight-year-old suggested.
What does a child know? 
Said one of the ninety-year old -decision makers in the senate.

Dreams With No Fruit

I am a firm believer that if your dreams do not take any form of fruit for you,
That maybe God did not pick them in the first place to enjoy or ever do,
We might shed a tear or even cover our cheeks with a very long weep,
That some dreams are not ever meant to happen, remain or even keep.

Premium Member Wisdom From a Facebook Reel

A few minutes ago I was outside enjoying the sun...
          The saddest part about betrayal is that it never comes from enemies.
                    ~The Cat atlas_chubby_paws 

When a friend becomes an enemy I have to ask myself was that friend a friend in the first place?

What's His but not His

He didn't choose to have it in the first place
Why would he be so mean to keep it.
Just like he got it
Someday he's gonna loose it
Just like he didn't choose to have it
Loosing it definitely won't be his choice
There's alot he doesn't know about it
So who is he to think he owns it all
