Premium Member Drones Take a Back Seat Tonight

     Sightings reported all across the globe
     Perhaps a weird, undulating space probe

        First it’s way up in the sky
        Then it dips down to say ‘Hi’

     Scares the bejabbers out of technophobes

"...But from the beginning it was not so".
Matthew 19:8b KJV.


Division   is sometimes necessary, but

IN   the beginning, it was not so.

Values   tend to fade in divorce, and

Ownership   seems to take precedence.

Religion   and faith often take a back seat.

Cost   should be calculated beyond 'dollars'.

Every   marital separation is unique.

Raging Spring

Siblings
will take care of the morgue.
I am going to hang my god
today. Howling winds
are crashing into my breath.


In the sea
of flags, the white death walks on
naked bodies of faith. Innocence
will take a back seat
listening to the roaring assault
of blues.

Was it a hymn to drink
the religion of rage ?
The men sitting in the glass vases
worshiping the rising sun in awe 
with folded hands.

‘Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?‘
(Romeo and Juliet, Act 2, Scene 2)
By Shakespeare

that night they were to meet
but Romeo got cold feet

on Valentines Day
he went away

Romeo was afraid to commit
because he would have to submit

her sweet exterior 
hid her real demeanor

she passed herself as shy and sweet
but he knew he would take a back seat

so, he sent her a short letter
saying “I’m outta here!”

Premium Member The Truth Walked Away

The truth has turned and walked away….
finding noone care’s anymore.  

Seem’s people are trapped in the conviction 
it’s how they feel that matter’s more

The laws of nature are no longer respected 
While math and physics take a back seat

To those who cry they’ve been wrongly offended 
as they raise their fist shouting in the street 

The louder they yell 
the more their minds clear

No longer the facts 
but their feelings they hear

Premium Member Protesting Authority

Protesting Authority Miracle Man Thoughts 5-8-2022 Oft times we protest making the evening news, and it isn’t always from our differing in views. Rather than bend to authority & take a back seat, we’ll make signs and line both sides of a street. Following others advice blindly we simply won’t, and it isn’t always about what we believe, or don’t. But all about the narrative big brother has sold, our innate nature just rejects our being told.
