So many things I'd like to say I'll save them for some other day You know the way I think towards you It hasn't changed, the bird's still blue And though not mentioned anymore The shelves are stocked inside my store Provisions for the heart await They have no expiration date...

Unfinished Business
The sun dies hard over the western hills, Leaving red streaks like blood on the sea, And I, with half a bottle of whiskey, Wonder what’s left, what’s still waiting for me. I said goodbye to a thousand faces, Left them all in their endless places. Wars I fought and nights I wasted, Promises tasted, never embraced it. The road ahead was always...

Unfinished Business
Unfinished business, it's causing me distress, A connection so strong, yet full of stress. Speaking through glances, so hard, I’m dead, Harder because I can’t get through to your head. If only I had been a little braver, I could have made "something" into a matter. Even if your heart belonged to another, It’s your love that I am after. But now it's...

No matter who we are how well we've prepared it seems there's always some unfinished business when it's time to go. And when we go we leave our physical remains, body and stuff all accumulated in a lifetime, but we leave deeper traces too, our face or sayings or gestures burned into the memory of those we knew especially of those we loved. But eventually...

Americas Unfinished Business
The woke demand that we devenerate, revise old statues, plaques and history of leaders who were once considered great, as truth confronts a lasting bigotry. To laud and honor what they represent supports and propagates a curse and weight, creating new and growing discontent, to abrogate old hails to racial hate. Blind scales of justice failed to understand and measure damage done by prejudice across...

Unfinished Business
Unfinished Business Feel like giving up. Think I have had enough. Impossible to finish a book. Keep on getting stuck. All begins with good intentions. It all ends with procrastination. Thought it time for me to mention, I never reach the end… Keep it real or never said. We are all a long time dead, So do something that matters. Hearts are made to shatter. Throw your words...

I remember how much pain you gave to me It was five years ago but wounds are still with me You never said goodbye, it was never resolved It was more than an angst tormenting my sorrow But things changed as time goes by Trying to move on but I won’t say goodbye Let fate would pull our legs and would...

Its Unfinished Business
It’s Unfinished Business Knowing so well that you have the answer, To church, Christian theology and beliefs, That’s it’s just a mental illness majestic, That they’re really only sanity thieves. Shut up by the Youth Fellowship leader, Who used disability and loneliness techniques, Under the shelf of nobility, ruined asunder, By their communication fabric and cliques....

UNFINISHED BUSINESS ©Alfreda Williamson July 2, 2004 Outside town boundaries, bustling, noisy din, Deeply in the serenity of peace, calm, the country County, Around a curve, sharp, blind. There it leaped out at me. Suddenly, unexpectedly Catching me off guard, Not foresightedly, not scary Just by way of wonderment . . . why this unfinished business? The house without its finishings. . . . It rose up in the...

Unfinished Business (The Lockdown)
Did you think you were cool? to call in a threat? You Columbine copy-cat, you coward, you fool? Teachers hear the “code,” Teachers who’ve been trained to hope for the best prepare for the worst, the worst that could possibly happen at this or any school Students thought it strange, didn’t get the news, saw my fast moves, the blinds drawn door locked hands that shook the lights off “In the corner,...
