POETIC REVIVAL

  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.    

It takes a long time to become self aware Just to know where you are in life, To know who you are,  Where you came from And where you're headed.  You ask yourself  What’s my mission, my goal Must I have one? Is it worth to strive for To spend a lifetime on? At some point in your journey  You discover,  That there are oceans of knowledge to learn Will you have time, should you even try? There is no rational answer. At first, it seems finding love is a child’s play, Then after countless heartbreaks You stop looking, hoping, Or you settle. Then the questions become more urgent, Whats the most fundamental factor in life? What values are paramount? Will I find them? Do I need them? If I find my answers Will that make me happy? Am I happy? Am I fulfilled? Who said happiness is important? Can I be happy when millions are miserable? Why do humans exist? Is there a divine purpose? When will we end? It’s a life time of struggle To find answers Then your time’s up.

SUPER NOVA You came on the wings of an angel Soft, pink, and lovely   Your big dark eyes wise Your innocent smile knowing. You filled our hearts with unimaginable Tenderness and love. Your little perfect hands reaching For our fingers to grasp. You slept on our breasts trusting We won’t move until you wake.   You came to bring us giggles That resonates like bells.
