Asleep At The Switch?

Posted by 2garrabrants

1

Is writing poems

this election season just

fiddling while Rome burns?

~

Poets may put out

the fire when voters are

asleep at the switch.

Deep Peace

Posted by 2garrabrants

Walking in the woods

always fosters inner peace.

Why is that the case?

~

Don’t ask me, ask that

bear. He just dined on several

 walkers thus inclined.

Super Tasty Bites

Posted by 2garrabrants

When what we see is

not what we get is someone

running for office?

~

Either that or else

ad-men are having their way

with someone’s breakfast food.

Greeting And Farewell

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

When a two year old

greets heads of state in his robe,

can he have a normal life?

~

Robed or unrobed, two

year olds greeting heads of state

say goodbye to normal life.

The Price of Wisdom

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Any suggestions

on how elders can best cope

with youthful indiscretions?

~

Just harken back to

your many youthful follies

and remember, you survived.

Common Understanding

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Why do words alone

fail to snare the attention

of the common man?

~

Perhaps the common

man is wise enough to know

words don’t always make it so.

Flaws, Faults, and Fixes

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

If Shakespeare was right,

why do we insist the fault

 lies in the stars, not in us?

~

Shakespeare placed his faith

in “Deus ex machina”;

and so, therein, lies the fault.

What?

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

When considering

exploitation of heaven,

shouldn’t we explore it first?

~

What? And ruin our

hard-earned reputation of

looting before we look?

Lost Horizons

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Once we’ve poisoned our

  land, air, and  water, will we

seek refuge in yonder stars?

~

If history repeats,

we’ll be seeking yonder stars

for resources, not refuge.

Killing with Kindness

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

If compassion can

help the world be safe, why do

 we resort to force?

~

Some say “might makes right”

but taking force from the fight

lifts compassion to new heights.
