Wake Up to the Miracle of This Life ~ Saturday, May 17, 2025

Well, so, nobody explained what it means
as they say, the facts of life, so sorry
kiss my ass goodbye, I hope to die soon
except to make explicit whence these dreams

under the azure skies of anarchy
please forgive me such insolence, worry

troubles the face of this planet, a dune
of rubble and sand in the near future

triumphant the dogs of patriarchy
heaven and hell all in one place, the earth
established as a colony for life

maybe has no other planet where birth
inhabits the structure, creating strife
remember at all times, there is no cure
as loving-kindness has not taken root
clean and clear functions to order the real
leave behind this world better than you found
each day, although, I may be an old coot

order and organization creates
function over dysfunction, to conceal

trauma, distress, and abuse is unsound
honestly, clarity is key, the clew
in the dark of this labyrinth, the fates
slay the beast, the monster of ignorance

look up at the sun, to stare, or to gaze
into the coolfireblue, in fear, we dance
fear of consequences, fear of the maze
each time, a miracle, Icarus flew
