  The Loss of A Precious Being My heart is aching  I can’t dull the pain I cant forget I can’t accept  The loss is too great I’s been a lifetime But the wound is fresh It’s still bleeding It’s still hurting  There is disbelief There is denial But the reminders Are everywhere Every second of every hour Every day There is no respite No sliver of hope  No panacea No miracle Just agony Just pain

Why Couldn’t I Have Been Simplistic

  Why couldn’t I have I been simplistic, Oblivious, Happy for no reason? Waking up each day joyful  to be alive? Taking it all in, minute by  Fast minute. Going about my day without a care. Watch as wars rage on, for reasons No one remembers anymore. Let hunger and famine Wipe out countless  humans While I have food to waste. Let people be happy wining awards And congratulate each other. Let people feel important Uncovering old mysteries  And finding new answers. Turn  off the TV Ignore the news Scroll past headlines Watch only cute cats  And smart dogs. Watch funny people  Cover their pain  In  jokes older than time Let them sedate us into numbness. Forget about  Death and dying, the mortgage, The bills. Forget about feeling Insignificant  Knowing well we are.
