'Teen Lesson"

'Teen Lesson"

Going to your room by choice

Is different from being sent

To sit the entire day

No chance to vent

No phone, no computer

No games, no one

To tell the injustice

To you that's been done.

Time drags on

A day is a year

Your too proud to cry

And "she" might hear.

Gramma would understand

But they sent her away

Said she could come

Another day.

Gramma doesn't like it

But what can she do?

She can't even freakin

Tie her shoe.

I'm frustrated, bitter

Ready to scream

I wish this was just

Another bad dream.

I am supposed to be

Pondering

Just what I did

Can't even remember

I'm just a dumb kid.

Well, that's not entirely

True,

For I really am smart

So why am I stuck here?

Maybe to find out what jail

would be like?

Hmmmm

'Circumstance"

'Circumstance'

Oh, there it is

The light of understanding!

Why was it hiding

In that dark place?

Why did it take so long to embrace?

Circumstance.... circumstance

Is the answer.

For we don't know an other's burdens

Nor can we guess their strife,

Nor pain nor sadness in their life.

Observe a child

Who's problems to us are nil

Yet to them so large

They make them ill.

Or one who mourns a loss

But acts like all is well

When in his heart

He burns in hell

For he takes blame

For what was just

Circumstance...Circumstance

And lust....

Comfort

Comfort

‎" There is no death. the stars go down

to rise upon some other shore.

And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown,

they shine for ever more."

John Luckey Mccreery

"When Loved Ones'

"When Loved Ones'

When loved ones

Don't believe in God,

It sears your very soul...

'Silence'

Silence

Silence is a silver knife

that slips so easily

into a loving heart.

IMPORTANT~READ THIS!

IMPORTANT~READ THIS!

Drain the sludge out of your hot water tank twice a year.

(That is what the little faucet is for at the bottom of the tank)

If you don't drain your hot water tank, eventually all of the

pipes will be corroded and both

hot AND cold water will taste like swill.

If you forget to drain your hot water tank for twenty years.

your water will smell like puke.

Get a hose and run it outside or to your floor drain

to drain the sludge from your hot water tank.

Run it until the brown sludge is gone

and then for another ten minutes.

The Human Condition

'The Human Condition'

We all need someone

That we can trust

Who will never leave us

Who will never fail

Without this we just

Flail around

Frustrated, lonely

In life's sweeping gale.

Some can't find anyone

They live in a fog

Until they discover

The trustworthy dog.

Emptiness

Emptiness

The emptiness that can't be filled

Because you lost what you have killed

You can't go back and make it right

It haunts your mind

Most every night.

You chose in moment's "temper flash"

To turn her love

To acrid ash...
