Earth in 2024

Moscow massacre...
Haitians, Houthis and Hamas...
Violence all round...
The world we've inherited
is hell in a handbasket.

I inherited
my father and my mother's
cherished furniture
a sparkling vibrancy
seems to have left
the shine
since my parents
passed away.

Silver Mine

He inherited a silver mine
Which had such a beautiful shine
Others heard about his luck
Tried forcing him to buck
Their tricks showed that he had a spine

the light we had once set out to seek
bliss drenched presence employs no force
truly as said, earth shall be inherited by the meek

My evergrowing songbird family
My chair by inherited shelf of books
My circle of virtual mentors from

The first son inherited by right
The second,off with his king to fight;
Ab third in a rectory might dwell
The youngest was to marr well..
Family coffers...more to swell.

Will Surprise

She inherited the old farm house
why in the world was it her?
She’d never liked those people
Uninterested parents
had other favorites
never liked her
surprising
crazy

George Zimmerman

Hello, son.
You're a big one.
Lucky for you you inherited somebody's genes
That gave you light skin
That made you get away with murder.

May your day of jubilee
be all you want it to be.

Washing-line musings

I have inherited pleasure:
the rhythm of pegs, the smell
of buttery sun on sheets,
a whispering murmur of trees
standing around, and the company
of magpies inspecting
with one eye looking for worms.

Smile Your Style

What you have is a favorite style,
That is being happy with a smile;
Surf up high;
A great guy;
Now marriage is no longer on trial.

Start writing poems.

You have inherited the ability.

Fish Kiss

I inherited a rellie's goldfish,
It lives in calm and placid bliss,
I approach, it blows a fish kiss,
Here, I own the snacks,
Even the fish knows that,
I'll feed you, you drive your tank,
That's how a fish says "Thanks!".

Else, all are gifted

One's born with brain inherited, 
Or gets made with a lot lifted. 
It’s not what can one quote, 
How much his be of note, 
Or else everyone is gifted!

The Complex Man

Karma is a complex of your nature and nurture 
That load acquired through aeons of incarcerations
What you inherited over generations of ancestors 
How the environment exposes you and builds you
Your true response to life is from that complexity

The Kuttab

Rigid and small in dunam
Revelations glued into baldam
Literacy filled amalgam

Inherited from its predecessor
Abram the Hanif ancestor
The legacy of pilgrim Lordor

Revealed command “read”
The order was repeated by lead
Coupled Shafa than ennead

Perfect Love

I can't imagine more vivid beauty than that I've seen on Earth,
and when I try to picture Heaven in the somewhere up above
I see flowers and trees, fields, mountains and seas, inherited at birth,
envisioning Heaven as our own Earth, enhanced by perfect love.

Coping Mechanisms

Inherited or 

Developed 

Disruptive or 

Destructive 

Whatever your way 

Of getting through the day 

Know you're not alone 

Know that it's okay

For the beast is strong 

But you are too 

You have more strength 

Than you think you do

Inherited Traits

John had his mom’s eyes
Inherited her kindness --
Keen sense of humor
 
Sweet sister-in-law
They shared love for animals --
She and I still close
 
Never met father
John tried to avoid his fate --
Died young like his dad
