Ponderings.......


Does the Robin sing
As the crows squawk?
Or does it try
to repeat such talk?

The crow with no civility
As the song is complicated
squawks to disturb tranquility
when the tune is unduplicated

Does the lily blush
at the site of a rose?
never smelling as sweet
Nor vibrant red, it knows

The rose and robin
should pay it no mind
for their song and perfume
are shared with every kind

Whether flying high
or planted in ground
it seems rather silly
to become a crow or a lily


I hope this isn't taken badly, it was meant for the rest of us and not to be construed as negative towards anyone.

Yesterday, I wrote another, seems to fit ,to me....maybe we need to think more in terms of love than truth.

Your truth must set you free
Locked in the chamber of a gun
A casing of righteousness
A point of honor
hard as blue steel
With no other place to go
Your truth can blow your mind
just pull the trigger

Tranq.

It was not written as a put down, just a thought. I do not pass judgement on you, as others may.
Usually I write these things to remind myself, for I easy fall into that trap,
These are my mistakes, written to self judge, not judge others.
I am sorry I had to use you guys to make the point, but it my mind and OPINION it seemed to fit. (also made an easy rhyme)
There is a place and purpose for us all, we are not just a rhyme.
i hope you see that.
