February
Where art thou oh Day twenty-nine?
I long to be with thee
Where have you gone?
You are the one I long to see
Your extra twenty-four hours
O how mysterious you are
Are you stored away from us?
We need you to be right here
Come again soon and share
All your wonderful sweet
Tales of near, there and far
What a treat!
February,
Most patient month of all-February.
The Current State of Affairs
Human lives are nothing but strings pulled tight
Lower cost of life, away with caution
Circumstance and consequence limit flight
Expectation hovers, smothering fight
Stuck in the old ways, no forward motion
Human lives are nothing but strings pulled tight
Opinion conquers fact with all its might
Fools prosper under official sanction
Circumstance and consequence limit flight
The death of our wills robs us of our light
Secure our borders, close off our factions
Human lives are nothing but strings pulled tight
We stumble headlong, with little foresight
Emphasize divides, separate nations
Circumstance and consequence limit flight
Too much to overcome, too hard to right
Too few stirring, straining, to take action
Human lives are nothing but strings pulled tight
Circumstance and consequence limit flight
