As you ripple across my life
Unprepared yet calm....

The prepared servant

will be blest, the unprepared

will then be punished.

empty pavements
unprepared streets
slogans don't finish
cries of alone

bit feather falls from sky
usual events...

bread of idleness,
sweet wine of busy-bodies
for companionship
awhile, but what have I done?

That our President wants to swap
Because he's too scared
To lead unprepared
The Coronavirus Block Flop...

Even my hope has limits. 

These last few weeks. 

Have been redacted. 

I am unprepared. 

To be immersed in an unsure future. 

Where I will be stored away....

I'm unprepared
Mental scared
Of what might take over
I get up down on knees and pray
Is this the end I say
The walls are shaking all me
I'm trying to keep my faith...

Upon this brittle passage of music
Brief heard shimmery brook's of
A shy, gentle grace
An unprepared for, inexplicable
Delight! Half forgot, a-float
Girl's allure re-trace....

Plumbing problems in several a nightmare,
closing stores for 6 months which is rare,
gutting them out,
security abound,
shoppers unprepared and downright scared.

Cocksure were we that Spring had sprung
Unprepared once again to be stung

   Fossil Fools we be, reigniting

Unprepared for life 
I live taking 
Each day as it comes 
Accepting what it 
Offers; seek no more 
Do what I must do. 
Time unfolds; I discover 
Each day my life is 
Changed; forever new....

Helmet of Love,
Gloves of Apprehension,
Breastplate of Morality,
Sword of discontent,

We as a people are prepared for the worst,
But unprepared for the best,
Percieved as perfect,
But we, Perfectly flawed......

Love
Often
Comes without
Even knowing,
Like a silent thief
In the night, stealing
Ones innocent heart and mind
And love can be dangerous, too
If, one is being caught unprepared
And the other, is desiring for more....

Back In The Day

I injected myself into a big boys game,
unprepared, for the possibility of losing.
Though It bruised my ego, I felt no shame,
but vanity wasn’t exclusive to bruising.

They were twins,
Not expected to be so,
They came as surprise,
Allen  was John,
and vice versa,
From then on,
Even parents,
Were quite unprepared,
They had expected one,
But got two,
That often delayed their recognition,
As to who was who....

"A storm is coming"
A bird did say
Flew on it's way
To find shelter

No one took notice
For though we heard
The language of a bird
Who can understand it?

The storm came as foretold
Caught us unprepared
Rain drowned the air
Drenched us through and through...

Along the hikes of thunder spikes 
The rest of us are scared
Nobody likes the lightning strikes
That catch us unprepared
Except the tykes who ride the bikes
That somebody repaired.

Death knock unwelcome
Ego unprepared
Clinging to false hope
Till the very end
Life replay regret

Heartbeat soon stops
The veil lifted
What lies beyond
Same as within 

The mind games
Continue
Desires spew

Replay
The same

Phew

Immersed unprepared and unaware in the wrelm of torture, raised by the tormented and confused, told to smile while our cheeks are bruised, creating pariahs out of those who dare to say nay to the way of things ,how dare they not just sway with things while the sickest get away with things...

Her look that day,
Should have told me everything she could not say.
Unprepared, I stared.
She walked away.
As she tossed our ring,
I felt the sting.

If I’d known then
How I feel today,
I'd heal the abscess and my heart’s decay,
Before her affection left me there that day.

I fell into dubious soup of life on a summer’s day
Not ill prepared, totally unprepared
Realizing I did not know anything
When prior to, I thought I knew everything
How to fix the world, how to fix my parents.
I struggled to hold my seventeen-year-old head up 
high above the chili beans of knowledge...

Memorizing lines as dawn grows near,
3 a.m. and still practicing, 
Fearing, Insight no closer.
Wake up to the sound of an alarm,
Fall out of my chair,
Walk out unprepared,
the time arises, caught asleep, unaware,
Stumble forward, assistance needed,
Eyes large and pleading,
As I begin to say my part...

Danger looms as we gather together in clandestine
Anxious to overcome our rival`s plot
Never again will anyone attack us unprepared
Go-to-hell,machetes,axes,guns will do justice to many
Even the police and Army cannot stop this gory combat and war
Rapid attacks,burning and looting will weaken them,we are ready....
