At The End Of The Day

 

Their day has ended, so it’s time to analyze

What have they done, we think to ourselves

The followers of the famous, is who they are

But what about their life, is there progress to be seen

 

The famous ones are the established, followed by eyes and ears

The public's success is non-existent, struggles at a high level

Social media lemmings, no time set aside to get better

The ones with the silver and gold, are the literal Pied Pipers

 

It’s the obsession, from the magazines to the television news

Around the clock grabbing, what did they say or do THIS time

Gossip seemingly necessary, while the priorities are ignored

The entertainers get more famous with each pair of new eyes on them

 

At the end of the day, for the followers there’s sadly no regrets

No thoughts given that this was wasted time

They’re in the same position as 24 hours ago

That’s income, and the other standings in their lives

Cascading Of The Frozen Rain

  Among the many in the collage of the weather This hard rain is an unwelcomed sight Winter time is when it makes an appearance Pain it can cause, and not just to the humans down below   It resembles tiny silver slivers, as it cascades from the heavens Falling on the weak branches, and others that can’t take its weight Damages can be to the extreme, in spite of the brevity of its descent The people moving around, look up at the sky more than usual   Other misery it causes, is the loss of power to the homes all around It’s funny how this frozen rain can resemble a cold bomb at times It’s a rare sight, introducing itself like a rarely seen, annoying relative Not one we greet with joy, and disappointed at the mess it’s left behind

Cautious Whispering

  So tempting to spill, that life she endures Wanting so badly to vent, maybe ranting can cure   Very few she MIGHT trust, too many big mouths Rarities among those who often shout   She looks among the people in every direction Who can she choose for their undivided attention   I won’t say a word, they’ll say with no smile Lying words if their silence can’t last awhile   Thinking about what she’s going through No time for anyone who leaks her bad news   She knows that even those who are close, can betray How quickly they can voice before the end of the day   She’s finally settled on the ear for her anxious voice Hoping that this time, she’s made the right choice

24 Hours To Move, To Be Still

  The beauty of nature fills my room Its sunlight piercing my eyes I've awakened to another morning Another chance to make progress in my life   Before I rise, I give thanks Grateful for another day given to me I think about the passions I continue to pursue And the talented one I am capable of being   When to move, when to be still There's a struggle with these two These 24 hours are like playing chess While deciding on which one I should NOW do   So many hours in a day Making me think there's plenty of time Yet the day can fly by so fast With little accomplished, I sometimes feel, in my eyes   It's been said that Rome wasn't built in a day But I feel like SOMETHING has to get done by me There are ones of many lives who I think about Who don't get these opportunities
