Perhaps we’d have… (poetry)

Perhaps we’d have

More confidence

If what we’re told

Made more sense

Their response

Is be more strict

But in their lies

They contradict

Even themselves

It’s just so weird

But as it unfolds

It’s as I feared

Gone from bad

To strange then worse

What they are doing

Is so perverse

It boggles my mind

How all don’t see

They tapped our fear

Of mortality

And are using it against us

It seems that maybe…(poetry)

It seems that maybe

Some didn’t see

We’re already chased

By mortality

But using every

Daily breath

To spend your time

Avoiding death

It seems a loss

And quite a waste

When time is short

We should make haste

To live our lives

And make them full

Just be aware

And responsible

For you and yours

And what you do

To keep it real

And know what’s true

In these dark and strange times

Rhyme and Reason

Stonechat close up

We had a number of stonechats in Spain which frequented the garden, giving me ample opportunity to get some good shots. But this one stopped near me while I happened to already have my camera in hand and didn’t mind me gradually getting closer and closer. Even singing a bit while I was taking pictures. You can’t help get the feeling sometimes nature enjoys being watched.

How is it really… (poetry)

How is it really

Meant to play out

We can talk and cry

And scream and shout

But in the end

We have to admit

The logic has crumbled

Bit by bit

And stuck we are

On doomed repeat

Within our minds

We can’t feel beat

Although a madness

It does seem

Has taken the helm

Like in a dream

And into the dark

Your mind is steered

You try to wake

But as you feared

There is no change

In what you see

Because the madness

Is reality

Rhyme and Reason
