The Secret of Change Is to Focus All of Your Energy, Not on Fighting the Old, But on Building the New – Socrates
Some say they’re old or used
I think they must be confused
When it comes to my lineage
My relatives are truly vintage.

About this word, the pre position
As it is
Seems relatable to the young
What we know as a pre
What position do we seek?
Did it change the rest of your sentence
Or is it just right the way it is?

Walking down this path again, he looked up to see the steepled dome. It symbolized his determination, his dream to complete a college education. The first in his family to strive for such a goal, here he was in his senior year, knowing he succeeded. The world was his oyster.

A tiny light observes the leaning tree
Tall weeds surround as a buffer
Dry brown sticks uphold the center
This glade a solace to all who enter
Even the bright light that flitters.
Seeking another smaller being
Realizes it is only reflection
Unbothered, peers again into the blue
Hoping to find a friend in the stream.

I guess it shows now, more than ever
A leader who thinks he is quite clever
He hopes everything’s taken “literal”
Instead, it is taken visceral
Spouts his defense, even though he’s lying
Following up with actions defying
An honest, heart warming sense
Meaning to incite crowds to tense
Protests against their fellow man
Asked why he does it, “because I can,
I am the greatest, see me here,
I am president, don’t forget it
If you defy me, you’re going to regret it!”
From him there’s no virtual hugs
If you disagree, you’re all thugs
The only way to make America great
Is call for impeachment, quash his hate
His plan of dividing us with walls
Just makes all of us look small
Threatening to bomb
Gives no aplomb
“Gather ye rosebuds while ye may”
Disarm this man, how about today?

Please go to sleep she said
A mother shaking her head
Tired from her mothering day
Why won’t you sleep instead of play
I’ll leave the night light, not the lamp
For your endless games I will not amp
Up your sport, so just dim light
I can’t play with you here all night
Please stop throwing all your toys
Go to sleep my dear sweet boy
Your daily company I enjoy
But sleepless nights tend to annoy.
