In their likeness

 The state , the state!

Oh the sad state!

Mad rage and greed rampant,

Tempting karma, tempting fate.

The Gods above, look down on us

"We made them in our likeness" they say

But people playing God, have lost their way.

Looting, thieving, conniving ,

Killers out there are thriving.

Children dying,mothers crying.

Homes destroyed like cinder boxes.

Who is this for? They say it's "for our people", but that's just lying.

The death toll just a statistic.

The world moves on, why isn't it going ballistic?

Silence has never been this deafening 

Watching it burn, watching it burn. 

The gods look down upon their piece of art.

Their lives' work, their soul, their precious part.

"We made them in our likeness, 

wish we gave them a heart!"

    This piece is a powerful reflection on the state of humanity—raw, evocative, and painfully honest. The imagery captures the chaos and moral drift of our times, while the rhythmic urgency in each line pulls the reader into deep contemplation. It’s both a lament and a wake-up call, reminding us how far we’ve strayed from empathy and conscience. A beautifully haunting piece that lingers long after reading.

    Heart wrenching.
    Did the gods lie and tempt, showing us the fruit and calling it forbidden?
    Are Gods just a figment of our imagination?
    The truth is ,it is man against man, for mannah, for whom no man knows.

The High Road

Take the high road, they said Hold your peace and be the "bigger man". Swallow your pride, your hurt and what you know is right. let them go their way, they said. Hold your tongue, they said be the calm in the storm don't let them get the better of you, don't stoop keep your head held high they said. weather the storm, they said he sees it all they said hold your peace and keep your grace life comes a full circle, they said. when others live by "at least", you must live by "my best" , they said. when others cursed and shirked, you must embrace it and bless and thank the lord, they said. The high road is lonely, cruel and harsh up on a pedestal, expectation abound the path less taken for sure. the divine light is at the end they said. but honestly, can't even see it any more.

LIFE

  W hat is life , B ut a collection of moments A bundle of emotions A thread of relations A n infinity of happiness in a single hug A n aching heart when a loved one is lost The big grand gestures aren't oft remembered with the same warmth Of the childhood games played Of the nights spent talking Eating raw cake batter That knowing smile across a room Finding the one who knows you as you The first time I held my child And the second time around Knowing you would never know love like this again Hearing your children laugh Watching them learn,fall and grow and do that some more. Life goes on, The memories stay on in our minds And when we turn to dust They stay on in the hearts of the ones we loved And who loved us in return.
