Returning?

Poem...Returning?

Roulettes keep on spinning
Billionaires keep on winning
Circles within circles
Living high in the sky

Earth keeps on turning
Oceans keep on churning
Species saying their goodbye
As we keep on with our burning

It was a grand event
Several billion year extent
Producing a species
Claiming Heaven sent

There is a tearful goodbye
Heads raised to the sky
In warm air hard to breathe
Nothing left to try

The Galaxy keeps on turning
Suns keep on burning
Perhaps in some future time
Life will be returning

Sweet Potato Pie

Poem ... Sweet Potato Pie

Sweet potato pie
Sweet potato pie
Running through the yard
Jumping toward the sky

Putting my fork
Into this heavenly blend
Sweet potato pie
This joy you do send

Predictions

#poetry

"Prediciions"

predictions fall
like snowflakes
on a cold mountain stream
and I
am none the wiser

Suits and Ties

Poem ... Suits and Ties

Suits and Ties
Hurt my eyes
As we reach
Toward the skies

Economies this
More growth that
Only thing missing
Is the hat

So where are we going
Suits and Ties in the lead
We have some clues
Watching the environment bleed

Can we stop
This Suit and Tie onslaught
Not very likely
Consequences not their fault

Rabid Poet

We Pretend

Poem...We Pretend

We pretend to know
What's in this show
But down deep
We're just like sheep

We buy their cars
And feel like stars
Highways to nowhere
And we don't care

The privileged know all
And make us feel tall
As we pretend on our way
Approaching that fateful day

Rabid Poet

The Candle

Poem

The Candle

My candle dims
The light gets low
Not much farther
Do I go

When first lit
It burned so bright
My energy flowed
Well into the night

My path was lit
Anything I could achieve
Not a thought occured
About when I would leave

The light now glows
Over memories past
And I cling to ones I love
Candle burning to it's last

Rabid Poet

Rhyme Time

Rhyme Time

I look around me
Struggle on land and sea
Trying to be heard
Just trying to be

Onward we march
Roads without end
Filled with shiny cars
A must we pretend

Butterflies fewer
Bees so confused
Where do I fly
With honey infused

Another day fewer
With more things consumed
Used to be trees
Now carbon exhumed

But we will hopscotch
On our merry way
Doing a Fred Astaire
Another joyous day

Rabid Poet

Aloof

Poem..... Aloof

A winding path
Through friendships I make
Looking for joy
Or perhaps a snake

Who do you trust
On this journey Odd
When attitudes change
Where so many plod

So what do I do
To get to the truth
You can't get there
Just remain aloof

Rabid Poet

Move on Sweet Jesus

Move on Sweet Jesus

We have gone too far
Looking for our star
When right beneath our feet
Is your holy treat
Move on Sweet Jesus
Move us on Sweet Jesus

The path we choose
Where we all lose
Is not for you
And for us not a clue
Move on sweet Jesus
Move us on sweet Jesus

That holy place we seek
Can only make us weak
Your place is in The Now
Help us understand your How
Move on sweet Jesus
Move us on sweet Jesus

And when this all ends
And we seek amends
The fault lies not with you
Who tried to see us through
Move on sweet Jesus
Move us on sweet Jesus

Move us on sweet Jesus
Move us on sweet Jesus
We hear you calling
Move us on sweet Jesus

Ali

Ali

He fought the fight
Long into the night
Floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a Bee
But in the end
The count was ten
And he has found
A better place to be

The Road Ahead

Poem....The Road Ahead

We move ahead
Toward our vague destinations
Driven by hidden desires
And our clever procrastinations

We look for certainties
To define our goals
Only to find uncertainties
Digging at our souls

What are those road signs
Do this, buy those
People will like you
Be glad you chose

So can we know
Where we want to go
Whilst buried in culture
An actor in their show

Make my life grand

Poem ... Make my life grand

When I am old
And no longer know your face
Please hold my hand
A smile will lighten this place

When my words
No longer make sense
I know what I want to say
Just give me a chance

I want the best for you
Old Earth full of life
Every day I will wish for you
A life without strife

I know my days are few
To be with those I care
And even if I don't know you
The gift of time we share

So sit down beside me
And hold my shaking hand
And though I don't know you
You make my life grand

Rabid Poet

Buttermilk Day

Poem ... Buttermilk Day

Those fluffy clouds
Making my day
A mixture of the gods
Having their play

Those thoughts passing by
None serious I hope
Will I grab on
To their slippery slope?

I think I will watch
Those creations float by
And dream of bisquits
And buttermilk sky

Rabid Poet

New Ways

Poem ... New Ways

New ways of thinking
Leaving the old
Embracing the new
A new story told

Of a Planet we care
Our only place
We back away
From our endless chase

Live and let live
Words from the past
From those who new
These lifestyles can't last

So join the new
A caring few
Earth will thank us
And see us through

Rabid Poet

Don't Tell Me

Poem ... Don't Tell Me

Don't tell me no
Or what place to go
Or who I should friend
Or what I should send

You go your way
Deciding what to say
Arranging you play
To play out your day

Don't tell me how
Or what field to plow
Or what things to plant
Self enjoying your rant

When you have done it
And the shoes fit
Then I will hear you
Your words will ring true

Rabid Poet

Prognosticate

Poem ... Prognosticate

They warn of events to come
Eventuality a must to be
No serenity for them
Their prediction a must see

Leave me out
Of this game they play
This game for attention
Happenings that they say

The Future is unknown
And events unseen
Change happens quickly
Being caught inbetween

I prefer an unfolding
A freshness of view
Not of prediction
But trust in the new

Rabid Poet

Loosen My Load

Poem ... Loosen My Load

I walk this country road
As so many times in the past
Your face on my mind
Hoping we could last

You had places to go
And people to see
Your head in the clouds
Beyond ole country me

But as I walk I know for sure
The city ain't for me
I wish I could have followed
The two of us to be

But as I said before
I wish the best for you
Maybe in some future time
Being together we may pursue

But for now
I walk this country road
Looking at the clouds
Trying to loosen my load

Rabid Poet

Unusual

Poem ... Unusual

To go to new heights
From where we were
To see through those warnings
Of difficulties sure to incur

To walk away from the crowd
To write and sing our own verse
To pick up a guitar
A future to rehearse

We are Unusual
In a future we see
Humanity backing away
Nature to be free

Things happen fast
When truth becomes known
When we become Unusual
When compassion seeds are sewn

There will be those
Who cling to the past
But they will be left behind
As Unusual moves fast

Rabid Poet

Suits and Ties Journey

Poem ... Suits and Ties Journey

Suits and ties
A corporate disquise
Pulling the wool
Over all our eyes

Boards of directors
Their hands in the soup
Manipulating our lives
We cluck in their coup

Hidden in disguise
They do not think
And their goal is apparent
Make money and not blink

So where does this go
Journey of suits and ties
Ending very soon
Ending their lies

Rabid Poet

Spinning Wheel

Poem ... Spinning Wheel

Round and round we go
We don't know how to slow
Part of the growth machine
Part of the human show

If we try to slow
Bank accounts drain
Corporations condemn us
Have we gone insane?

So faster and faster
We spin this wheel
Calling it progress
Becoming our zeal

And here we are
Hamsters in a wheel
Don't know where we are going
Not caring what is real

Rabid Poet
