Jan 23 2021 "productivity"

———Get up, workout, write to do list.-

I will conquer whatever the Day brings-

I will get stuff done today, I will do this!-

How long have I been laying here? -

It's ok it's fine rest is important -

But i have no effort to get out of bed-

Don't just lay there, at least sit up, write down the gist-

just get it together and let me finish things-

Come on brain it's not that hard for you to do more than exist-

Maybe when the deadline is near-

Give it a thrilling slant….-

Maybe that's what I need to get out of my head.-

I hope I can start tomorrow morning-

Or maybe in the evening———

"Future"

———I dream of a life with you-

to wake up early and make breakfast-

stay up late reading and talking-

fall asleep in each other's arms-

You make me so happy——

"Shining sky"

———So bright in the sky-

It makes me wonder why-

People would ever want to be inside-

For it is just a place to hide-

Don't worry mother nature isn't that shy———

Jan 20th 2021 "purple"

——I use to think I was quite purple,-

That I would consider all the options-

Before choosing which one I want-

But as I have grown and the world had changed-

I have figured out that my choices are limited -

I only have half the options put on the table-

It's no longer agree or disagree on one thing-

Now we put a letter by our name -

And anyone with out that same letter-

Is the enemy-

There is no discussion-

There is no compromise-

I can't wait to get back to a world-

Where difference in view-

Doesn't mean a difference-

in someone's human value-

That world starts today——

And congratulations to Biden and Harris. Thank you for what you will do. I'm excited to end the chapter in favor on this new one. Women better where shoes because that glass ceiling has just shattered.

Jan 19th 2021 "bright"

——The stars in the sky are so bright-

It makes it hard to sleep at night-

When I can stay up and see this delight-

Occasionally noticing a satellite-

Or a plane on an evening flight-

I truly want to stay up until the morning light-

I know that would give my sleep schedule a fright-

I have to give the sleepys a fight-

To stay up under the stars and write-

But really now against my spite-

I have to do what's right-

And get the sleep I need tonight-

Good night——

Jan 18th 2021 "fear in the distance"

——I can hear them howling in the distance-

As the night goes on they get closer-

I have nothing to do but fear-

Until fear itself takes over——

Jan 17 2021 "Seemingly imperfect"

——He fears for the day they will collect him-

He knows his time is getting low-

One day he started running on a whim-

Where to he'll never know-

They will not Grant him any leniency for his actions-

He knows what he did but cannot yet atone for it-

In this life he is paid for but a fraction-

Of all the suffering he will get-

Alas he could never hush the demons-

They were always there, gnawing on his bare soul-

The farther he runs the more he summons-

He knows when he stops he will have to pay the toll-

So run he shall run until he has died-

Then he will find out what waits for him on the other side——

Jan 16 2021 "Im late for coffee"

——If there is one constant in life it is my caffeine addiction-

I cannot go without the sweet Bean Juice-

I would like to add physical books in addition-

But really my Kindle gets a lot of use-

I wish to express it has to be sugary sweet -

black coffee makes me quake from my head to my feet-

While I wish I could go without such additives-

Without it list lack of caffeine on my motives-

Without coffee to sustain me I am a puddle on the floor-

I will be late everyday if I have to, just to have-

Caffeine throughout the day more and more——

Jan 15th 2021 "green and gold"

——I feel the shackles heavy today

They weigh me down, take my joy-

I don't really ask for much okay-

But someday I hope not to be employed-

I toil away the hours, they are not used for my own-

For you see I'm on someone else's dime-

Through my emotions it is really shown.-

They take something you can never reclaim, time.-

I have spent years of my life talking to folks-

Selling things they don't even need-

Getting them to buy it all with my jokes-

For this is how I have survived the capitalist greed.-

While I will never Escape capitalism's hold-

I hope to learn to use it for my own, if I may be so bold——

Jan 14th 2021 "the grim planter"

——I don't know why you always die-

I don't want to keep saying goodbye-

Please I water you and I put you in the Sun-

But I have to chuck you out when you're done-

I talk nice to you and I give you pretty pots-

make sure they're big enough to hold Lots-

I clean your leaves make sure there aren't bugs-

Pouring water in from coffee mugs-

I wish I knew what I had to do-

To keep everything alive even you——
