Thats The Way Of The World

Dreary Weather

Todays dreary weather

is the disposition

of the world today

world today like a

keg of dynamite

ready to blow

mans final destructive 

show

Seems no one happy

until the worldd as we

know it

is completely obliterated

Those care free days no more

no longer that way

Destructive days 

cant b escaped

about sitting on the stove makes me smile the way

he describes the creature and situation

My mom and dad uncles and aunts used

to sit around when we were kids talkin

bout old times about Hanks and Witch riding

on your chest paraylyzing u as u sleep

A diminitive mind said to b a drunk in charge

of Defens a Fox news former prejudge host

of the Fort Hood murderer the same diminitive

individual killing hundreds of unsuspecting folks

in speed boats blowing them up to smitherines

The same blunder buster in charge of the Iran war

Mysteries N Life

The body just a shell

of an Inner Soul

Like everything in nature

body deteriorates as it

gets old

but the Soul a Space of time

and infinity 

The body conceals the Inner Soul

of the mind body and Soul

Each day as we know it

just natures space

a space thats been in place

since the beginning of time

The Inner Soul a mystery but

I always listen to mine
