life
There are only two types of people on a sinking boat
Those who save the boat and others who save themselves
Nobody knows who they will be, or what compels
One to risk life and limb, or take their chances with sharks and whales
If everyone decided to labor for the greater good
The chances of success would improve the likelihood
That all may survive, patching holes or finding a bucket
But who am I kidding, most folks will probably just say #%?! it!

OTHER POEMS WRITTEN BY WarriorCarryingWater
Humans vs. PrimatesThe opposable thumbs and will power debates Many surmise as the only lines that separate humans from apes However, I’ll ask just one question without refrain Could 30,000 apes sit in a stadium and enjoy a 2 hour football game?  |
Schrödinger’s cat - 1935Both dead and alive, a cat trapped in a box Trapped with a radioactive atom, a hammer, Geiger counter, and vial of poison fastened with locks Theories of quantum mechanics debated in 1935 When Schrödinger and Einstein wrote, to this conclusion they arrived The hammer brakes a glass vial When will radiation spike the Geiger counter’s dial Killing the cat, or not See the paradox? We don’t know the cat’s fate until we open the box Known unknowns, zero, one, or both, fate chose Radiation, nine lives, broken glass, poison, hammer, gravity, who knows? |
UnderstandingPuzzle pieces in an unassembled heap Flipped and grouped to form a boarder neat The frame, the start of one’s belief A collection of unknown shapes defined provides relief How everything is connected, our purpose is to try and fail Colors, patterns, and answers write our life’s tale As more is known than not, and our work is near completion Once our purpose ends, we face deletion. |
