Nothing

Do you know when the lightening will strike?
No
Do you know when the wind will blow?
No
Do you know how many stars are in the sky?
No
Do you know how hot it will be this summer?
Not exactly
Do you know the winning lottery numbers?
No
Do you know more than what you don't know?
Certainly not
If you divide what you know by what you don't know what would it amount to?
Nothing
So basically you don't know anything
You are correct
How do you reconcile?
All I know is that I am alive
And I know how to live forever
That knowledge is all I need to know

Living On The Edge

With the world population
Of seven billion and rising
And every individual having unique
Possibly close but not exactly
Same personalities
It is only statistically inevitable
That somewhere at some time
Or at any time
There is an individual who
Is doing something
At the edge of the bell curve
Outrageously out of the average
But not crazy
Living on the edge
An edge becoming harder
And harder to achieve
As the society as a whole
Once under a bell curve
Is slowly but surely
And ever more steadily
Becoming a flat line

In Constant State of Flux

These days
You cannot say a word
Or a phrase
About anyone or anything
Without offending someone
Or anyone

It is almost as if freedom of speech
Is only free
As long as you say the right stuff
Politically correct stuff

Or else you will get chastised
Labeled as an ignorant
Uneducated bigot
Looked upon with disdain

People place themselves
In such high regard
Morally and ethically superior
Ultimately proud
And self righteous
To say or more like not to say
Things that will offend others

It has become more important
To certain people
Most people
To be politically correct
Than to be right

Totally confused and misled
To think that what is politically correct
Is what is right
Or rather
What must be right

In constant state of flux
Right in the past
Wrong at present
Right at present
Wrong tomorrow

The sooner one realizes
That the only thing true
Remains true through the test of time
Sooner will seek the truth
And see the truth

The Entire World

Merry Christmas
To all
To Witness
The Power
And spectacular irony
Of the One
Who commands
The entire world
To celebrate the birth
Of the One
Who will condemn
The world

While Strolling The Yard

Tic toc tic toc
People always make a big deal
About someone on death row
Awaiting to be executed
Many believe that is inhumane
Regardless of how atrocious the crime is
Terminating someone's life
At a given time and place
So everyone knows including the criminal
Exactly when
The life will end

What if the law was changed
So that everyone but the subject
Knows the time and place
Of the execution?
And it was to occur without any type of harbinger
A bullet shot through the head
While strolling the yard
Would that be more acceptable?

Perhaps
At least that will make the prisoner
Live the life he or she has
However long it may be
No different from
Anyone else
Not on death row
