Greed!

Greed!

Arrrh greed,
Macadam to the place of ultimate destruction,
With an allure of satisfaction,
As fake as the wig on a bald head!

Mighty wave...

Mighty Wave...

A mighty wave of the emptiest vanity,
Sweeps across the world,
Unless you stand firm,
It will sweep you off your feet,
Help me God...

The storm is raging!

The storm is raging

Beyond taming and beyond reach, the storm is soaring;

With nature’s loudest voice , the storm is roaring;

Caught in one of nature’s cruelest mimes;

Almost losing my mind;

As life teaches its best lesson yet;

In the process transforming a mindset;

A lesson of beauty and of pain;

A lesson about the price of gain;

That the thorns take away nothing from the beauty of a rose;

The rise from a planted naked stalk to beautiful, enchanting, charming rose;

That some of the most astounding petals of beauty sit on stalks of thorns ;

And every natural rose bush comes with thorns;

That those who refuse to brave the thorns;

May settle for petals of the flowers of corn;

That redemption's greatest possibility ;

Lies in the eye of the greatest storms;

That even the finest eye of faith;

Cannot see beyond the storm;

But it can trust, trust, trust;

An all loving, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent God;

Beyond the raging storm and more.

Grim diagnosis

Grim diagnosis

She could have been anyone,
Nothing had prepared her for what she was to hear,
As the doctor uttered that one word,
CANCER,
She wished she was suffering from auditory hallucinations,
For a brief moment she lived in a world of denial,
The world seemed to have come to a still,
She panicked,
Flooded with an unexplainable cocktail of emotions,
Channeled in a river of tears,
Gushing from the fountain head,
Of a ready producing gland of tears,
Then she quickly pulled herself together,
For after the diagnosis,
Comes the prognosis,
This needed her full attention,
Some decisions had to be made,
Combination therapy,
A knife on her,
Some poison in her veins,
Some poison from the rays,
You would know from her hair!
She'd seen some win the battle before,
With exercise and diet and deeply abiding faith,
She will not lose without fight,
Help her God,
Combat,
All,
New,
Cells,
Escaping,
Rules of proper living.

Valentine's day!

Valentine's day!

I embrace you as a reminder,
Reminder of what everyday should be,
A ceaseless expression of love,
I despise you as a single one day,
When we show our love,
If you choose today,
To make everyday Valentine's day,
Happy Valentine's day.

How!

How?

How can we win if we do not fight,
How can we triumph if we run away from the challenge,
How can a breakthrough come when in the face of the impossible,
We redirect our path to the previously done possible,
How can we be original when a taxing and daunting creativity is left to die ,
And all we seek to do is imitate,
How can there be a mountaintop without a valley,
How can there be a high without a low,
How can there be sweet without bitter,
How can there be joy without sadness,
Bad makes good possible,
Failure makes success possible,
Every negative makes the positive possible,
Fear not,
Fear only makes courage possible,
Don't embrace fear,
Don't dismiss it,
Supplant it with bold action.
