A Quiet Fool

If a fool keeps his mouth shut
Then no one will know
That he is a fool

But a fool is a fool
And not wise enough
To stay silent

So it seems safe to conclude
That there is no such thing as
A quiet fool

Blaming The Police

You can complain about
The random check points
But to whom can you blame
For getting a DUI

You can complain about
The surprise pop quiz
But to whom can you blame
For getting an F

You can complain about
The scorching hot weather
But to whom can you blame
For getting dehydrated

But people do indeed
Blame the check point
The surprise pop quiz
And scorching hot weather

Like the burglar
Blaming the police
For being in jail

Other Than To Live

Nothing comes to mind

This month of November 

The year almost over

Faster than the year before

The time for Thanksgiving 

For having survived yet another 

Year since the last

Facing all the unexpected 

Doing all the unanticipated 

Feeling the ups and downs

Million thoughts in the cloud

Being part of the crowd 

In meaningless pursuit 

To find happiness 

Or rather the endless strive 

To forget the fear of realizing 

To avoid ever finding the truth

That there is no meaning
Other than to live 

The Answer

Love the Lord your God

With all your heart

All your Soul

All your strength

And all your mind

And

Love your neighbor

As yourself

Luke 10:27

The answer 

To all the problems

Of this world

Of The Very Thing

There is something that grows
Without water or food
Or help whatsoever

Something that grows exponentially
Much taller and faster with
Each passing year

Even faster with
Title of some sort
Head of anything big or small

Like a hot air balloon
Smoke on top of fire
Rising up and up and up

This being the cause
For so many fights
And self glory

Unwilling to let go
Unable to let go
Of the very thing

That keeps them outside
The promised land
