Don't give a jot or
A sod this lot
On your tod..just nod
Seedier greedier leaders
Stun..Shun the Needier
Not just down trodden
Sodden...run roughshod
Beseech each of those clowns..down
In the dumps chumps who chose
Plumps for stealthy
Leeches who teaches
Fools at our schools
Only the wealthy can stay healthy
No education for the nation
Uses...abuses..eschews..media issues..then sues
Argy bargy - sarky malarkey ensues
Bemuses readers…forsake news as fake
It's a Maga Saga ruse for f**ks sake
No immigration...deplore integration
To restore order…close the border
Hardcore race riot diet of denigration
Likes 60's generation segregation
Damnation not salvation..just devastation
“Each morning is an invaluable gift- To be alive is a boon, to be able to stay healthy is a bonus, to enjoy love and beauty is bliss”- By Poet
Early morn, I wake up from my sleep,
Sensing on my cheeks, dawn’s first gentle kiss.
As the shroud of gloom is lifted off from earth’s face,
In my heart rises sweet whispers of bliss.
Yesterday’s mistakes, gone like vaporous nothings.
A calming peace gently overpowers my soul.
The air is crisp, quiet and pleasantly still.
The morn opens new scenes and vistas whole.
Flowers gently sway in the passing breeze.
Bees buzz around, not giving rest to tiny wings.
Coloured confetti fall from the Gulmohar tree.
Butterflies flit around as my soul in joy, sings.
Remember, how lucky we are to see another sunrise,
To savour what nature offers as an inestimable prize!
Grass-eating animals are their favorite food
Lions don’t eat carnivores, they are not in the mood
When they devour the tasty stomach of their prey
They can stay healthy one more day
Saved
I feel the presence, the calm that resides inside me through the storm. Waves of emotions try to shade the light with darkness, but the light will prevail because “It is finished”. I am not alone in this sea but held safely in the arms of a higher power. Remembering who I am is not the problem. It is the forgetting, the blinding waves, but the more I reside in the light the harder it is to lose my path, the path laid out before my birth, my way home. I am like a child at night calling out “Abba” assured that he will come and all will be right when day rises again. I know He is never far, he will hear my cry and comfort my fears as I give it all to him. His embrace sweeps away the dark and I am home once again. Let me be the light because it is good, let me not forget how You see me. Shine brightly in the face of the darkness that plays tricks on my eyes and shatter all illusions that lay before me. For there is one truth that produces fruit, let my harvest be bountiful, let my branches stay healthy, quench my thirst. For You are in all and All is in You.
Love is kind, love is blue
To Love someone means to treat them true
Love is like a flower it grows over time
Love is people who are sweet and kind
Love is a passion that draws people together
Love is a formula that has been around forever
Love is abstract, and you can't see it or touch it
Love is a feeling that has creativity
Love is powerful it breaks when you're hurt
Love is what you get when you enter at birth
Love is the very thing that makes the world go around
So love everyone and be happy to stay healthy above ground
Clean water,
We all need it
To stay healthy
And live a long life.
Clean water,
We all need it,
Wherever we live,
Whatever language we speak.
Clean water,
We all need it,
But not everyone has it.
We can help those
Who don’t have it,
By donating money
To charity.
With this money,
Everyone can enjoy
Clean water and
A long life.

"How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him." Hebrews 2:3 of the King James Bible
Never neglect God’s light, truth-rays
Leading by divine care’s delight
Guided for joyous worship praise
Along prayer, smiting guilt’s blight.
Toward kind reaching-out welfare
Never neglect God’s light, truth-rays
Radiating hope midst love’s share
Optimizing grace for divine gaze.
Increase faith, trusting Christ always
Trusting His Word that conquers woe
Never neglect God’s light, truth-rays
Ignited to go, glow, and grow.
Stay healthy in pursuing goals
Doing best to face trials’ maze…
As you enjoy fulfilling roles
Never neglect God’s light, truth-rays.

I need the satisfaction of a cold carbonated cola
it smooths my stomach with a burp, love that soda
I drink diet caffeine free don't need empty calories
Like the Coca Cola gold and white label Pepsi
Try to get the Dr. Pepper one is an impossibility
Sometimes I just want the fun and flavor of a bubbly
those bubbles tickle your nose and make a happy tummy
Diet fruit flavors and the clear lemon limes
are almost all caffeine free for bubbly time
A doc told me that caffeine could trigger my gout
so now caffeine I can gladly live without
Sure I drink decaffeinated coffees and teas
And water is always a way to stay healthy
I need the happiness you get with an ice cold cola
so allow me my caffeine free diet sodas
stuck in a place with i
introspection
figure how to get out of my mind
a new perspective
got to live life love
happiness in lifes a must
wont answer gotta keep strong in my mind stay healthy
i keep for my heart
i see all my scars
im better momentarily
healing better and its scary
im thinking clearly
light as i just a man set high
just to last
course line been in fast i just a man get better as i grow
One of us will be the winner,
it could be you.
You get the big house with its walled-in acres.
You get the perfect genes and stay healthy
and good-looking all your long life.
You get the recognition you deserve
or do not deserve but you succeed.
You have the perfect family
the luck, the inherited wealth.
Then again you may be just good
at being you, and you made it
because you worked hard to win
and you did.
I have no envy.
I should like to try being you,
but for now
being me is not so much a loss.
I am not convinced that winning
is winning, or to lose is to lose.
Nevertheless,
one of us is winning,
it could be you.
There are many people who help us,
They help in many different ways,
They help people of all ages,
And people of all abilities.
Farmers grow food for us,
Carers help people who can’t manage on their own,
Doctors and nurses help us stay healthy,
Charities help people in different ways.
Dentists help us look after our teeth,
Police help us keep the world safe,
Teachers help children to learn things,
Firefighters help us put huge fires out.
Lollipop people help us cross the road,
Post workers help us send letters to people far away,
Lifeguards help beach visitors in trouble,
Transport drivers help us get from one place to another.
There are lots of other people who help us,
We can help each other.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way,
While sun shines, let’s make hay.
Eat healthy and stay healthy,
Write poems and be wealthy.
For creativity is true riches,
It neither drains nor ditches.
Poetry is an art magnetic,
Only versed by folks majestic.
A royal hobby during leisure,
Perfect pastime of pleasure.
Let’s compose couplets cool,
Being royal they just rule..!!
"One day I woke up to a world of topsy-turvy
one minute sharing a meal and hugging my kids
and the next, keeping my distance with a masked smile"
I believe that tomorrow was never ours
and that hope is the rafter that keeps us afloat
I believe that this pandemic has changed our attitude
and given us a chance to realize how precious life is
I believe that if we persevere and work together
we can find a solution to this dilemma
I believe government is doing the best it can
we can't slap our leaders, if we need their hand
I believe in miracles, especially in these difficult times
one day can make a difference
I believe that mountains can crumble and so can people
but if we fight the good fight, we can win
I believe in good old fashioned courage
putting a little water in our wineglass
I believe we owe it to ourselves and to our loved ones
to continue to do all that we can, to stay healthy and alive.
Snatch
Taken
In the dead of night
Run
Hide
Stay out of sight
Hurry
Faster
Get out straightaway
Longer
Farther
Still a distance away
Stop
Breathe
While there is time
Movement
Tension
Keep on the climb
Flee
Leave
So you can be free
Advance
Arrive
“You’ve made it finally”
Crush
Mix
“I knew you wouldn’t quit”
Cup
Drink
“The trip was worth it”
Settle
Cuddle
“To help you stay healthy and alive”
