REALITY

Unfit To Rule

How can mere man select one who controls;
to prevent evil’s tendency to oppression;
should man be ruled by a monarchy of souls;
with a family line of succession?

One of life’s great puzzles; who’s fit to rule;
should we vote; or have a

Unrequited Love

When young; we referred to it as a crush;
feelings of love toward another;
we kept it secret; but tended to blush;
in the presence of a potential lover.

Usually, it was said to be merely infatuation;
our heart and mind were confused;

Most are concerned about family lineage;

even reality seems bizarre.

To Be Loved Once More

I feel, in my soul, so emotionally young;
I so dread what remains in store;
discouraged and sad at what life’s become;

some, to love; others; as friends;
many, very

The Observer

My life has taken a new perspective;
I don’t even know where to begin;
today; I have become more objective;
I am now an observer; looking in.

I’ve not lost my zeal; life is magnificent;
its wonder and beauty, surrounds;
I’ve simply become a bit
