(001)▪︎[ Magic Genie … 2025 ]

You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for?

[ If I Had Three Magic Genie Wishes, What Would They Be? ]

[ Well I Could Wish For The Obvious … ]

  (3) More Wishes, That I Want To Win The Mega Bucks Lottery, That I Would Never Die, That I Could Have Magic Powers, That I Could Buy Whatever I Wanted, That I Want World Peace, That Billionaire People Would Lose All Of Their Money & Have To Live On An Income That Varies From Small Paycheck To Paycheck, etc… The Obvious Wishes That Could Never Come True.

[ My 1st Wish Would Be Having The Knowledge To See The Changes That I Would Need To Make, That Would Help Me Be The Best Husband/Friend/Client/Writer & Person That I Could Be ]

[ That Would Guide Me To Be The Person That I Know Is Inside My Jumbled Head ]

[ My 2nd Wish Would Be That I Would Have The Quick, But Much Better, Writing Skills That I Had In The Years Prior ]

[ My 3rd Wish Would Be That I Could Have The Imagination & Thought Process To Be A SUCCESSFUL Entrepreneur ]

[ So I Could Imagine & Produce The Next Big Want/Need Of The General Public ]

[ My Invention Could Be The Most Obvious Need For People In Their Everyday Life ]

[ My Invention Would Get Trademarked, Sold To The Right People That Would Be Able To Mass Produce My Invention ]

[ When I See All Of These Wishes Were Done, I Would Have My Will Re-Written So I Could Allocate My Life’s Belongings To The Right People ]

[ I Would Have It Be Written That Any & All Proceeds Of My Invention Be Given To My Wife, Nicole ]

(1121)▪︎[ How Will You Hope To Cope? … 2023 ]

[ How, Do You Wake ]
[ When You Use Sleeping, As A Coping Mechanism ]
[ Instead Of Looking For, Some Kind Of Medication, To Take? ]

[ When The Experts Say (YOU CAN’t BE HURT BY ANYONE) When You Dream ]
[ Ummm, (NO!) ]
[ People Can Work As A Team ]
[ So … ]
[ The Dreams/Nightmares, Can Make You Scream ]

[ Dreams Can Bend Around The Corners Of Time ]
[ Causing A Minor Memory ]
[ To Become Sublime ]

[ People Who Are Decades Apart In Your Past ]
[ Can Come Together ]
[ Even Though The Difference Of Time Is So Vast ]

[ An Event From When You Were A Teen ]
[ Could Be Happening Now ]
[ Without Any Wasted Time In-Between ]

[ How Did This Person Relate To That Person? ]
[ Or That One? ]
[ Or The (2023) Version? ]

[ Your Dreams Now Seem So Vivid & Life-Like ]
[ Messing With Your Mind ]
[ While Disrupting Your Psych ]

[ When You Finally Wake, You Find That You Are Not Doing So Well ]
[ Trying To Reassure Yourself That Things Are (OKAY) ]
[ Is A Very Hard Sell ]
[ But In A Way ]
[ If You Want To Talk About It, You Wouldn’t Know What To Tell ]

[ When You Wake, You See That Your Dream Did Not Make Any  Sense ]
[ It Was Not Like You Were Looking For Greener Grass On Your Neighbor’s Side Of The Fence ]
[ It Was So Believable ]
[ You Woke Up Feeling Really Tense ]

[ But As You Try To Put Your Dream In Order ]
[ & She Is There ]
[ You Are Ignored By Her ]

[ That Does Not Make Sense @ All ]
[ She Is In Your Dream ]
[ But She Treats You Like A Wall? ]

[ Some Dreams Center On A Past Event ]
[ But Maybe Things Did Not Seem The Same Way That They Went ]
[ Maybe, That Was Not How It Was Meant ]

[ Dreams Can Go Whacky, In A Second ]
[ If People Are There ]
[ Was There A Purpose ]
[ For Them To Be Reckoned? ]

[ Why Does Your Dream Still Seem So Vivid, Once You Are Fully Awake? ]
[ Some Dreams, Make Your Heart Ache ]
[ Causing Your Hands To Shake ]

[ Going To Sleep To Escape The Problems Of Your Life ]
[ Might Sound Good ]
[ But In Reality, Can Cause More Strife ]

[ Than, Before You Closed Your Eyes ]
[ When You Are Searching For A Hiding Spot ]
[ The Decisions Made, Are Not Always That Wise ]

[ Trying To Cope This Way, Is Equivalent To Hiding Your Head Under A Rock ]
[ No One Will Talk ]
[ There Is No Watching The Clock ]

[ Nothing You Will See ]
[ Will Possibly Be ]
[ The Key ]

[ To Coping ]
[ But … ]
[ You Can Keep Hoping ]

(1311)▪︎[ Hope May Not Be … 11•12•2019 ]

[ Sometimes Hope Is A Terrible Thing To Give ]
[ When Someone Is So Depressed ]
[ They Don’t Want To Be Forced To Live ]

[ Living Is The Last Thing That Is On Their Mind ]
[ If Only They Had The Power To Rewind ]

[ The Quest For Hope ]
[ Can Be Washed Away As Fast ]
[ As Water Washes Away Soap ]

[ They Could Tell You To (SHUT THE FRONT DOOR) ]
[ Because They Don’t Want To Hear Anymore ]
[ Then What Are You Saying That For ]

[ For Recognition? ]
[ For Validation? ]

(3)▪︎[ The First Day … 1•1•2020 ]

[ Today Is The First Day Of The New Year ]
[ Is It Going To Be Full Of Cheer? ]
[ Or Are There Going To Be Problems That Kick You In The Rear? ]

[ To Some, This Is The Start Of The 2020 Decade ]
[ Will You Need Or Come To Someone’s Aid? ]

[ If You’re Always Going To Be There @ The Drop Of A Hat ]
[ Are You Able To Let A Stranger Come Up To Bat ]

[ & Take Their Swings? ]
[ That May Help Them Get Their Wings ]
[ When You Randomly Give Things ]
[ You’ll Soon Realize What Happiness It Brings ]

[ But Always Use Your Common Sense ]
[ Don’t Leave Someone Hanging ]
[ In Suspense ]

[ If You Are Going To Give, Then Give ]
[ Make It Easier For Someone To Live ]

[ Will The New Decade Bring New Problems ]
[ That You Won’t Want To Face? ]
[ Can You Solve Them? ]
[ So You Can Put Your Priorities Back In Place? ]

[ Face This New Decade Head On ]
[ If You Run & Hide ]
[ Then Throw It Out Onto The Lawn ]

(1111)▪︎[ What Is Hope? … 12•13•2020 ]

[ What Does It Mean When Someone Exclaims That They
     Have Hope? ]
[ Could It Be Squashed When Another Person Says ( NOPE ) ? ]

[ Can Someone Go Through Their Whole Life Without Any? ]
[ That Would Be Uncanny ]

[ What Is The Difference Between The Words ( HOPE ) & ( FAITH ) ]
[ Can You Ever Get Them Straight? ]

[ Faith Can Be When You Believe In Something Or Someone Every
     Day ]
[ Hope Can Be Having Faith In Some Imaginary Way ]

[ The Two Words Can Be Intertwined ]
[ Both Are Kept In The Depths Of The Mind ]

[ Neither Can Be Based On A Command ]
[ Neither One Can Be Physically Held Or Touched By Your  Hand ]

[ Can This Be Something You Could Teach? ]
[ Not Preach ]
[ But You Would Still Have To Define Each ]

(595)▪︎[ I Hope They Think … 7•18•2021 ]

[ It Is Really Tough Not Sharing My High’s & Low’s ]
[ Of My Blog ]
[ With People That I Personally Know ]

[ A Few Stories Have Been Read, Liked & Commented On By Two
     People That Are Physically In My Life ]
[ One Is A Good Friend ]
[ The Other Is My Wife ]

[ Besides A Few, Most Of My Likes ]
[ Comes From Others That Write ]

[ I Am Overjoyed By That Point ]
[ When Other Writers Take The Time ]
[ To Read A Rhyme ]
[ & I Hope That I Don’t Disappoint ]

[ I Cannot Appeal To Everyone, That Stops By ]
[ I Do Write Stories Where I Ask ( WHY? ) ]

[ Some Say That Asking ( WHY? ) Is A Conversation Stopper ]
[ I Don’t Want It To Be An Idea Dropper ]

[ In A Blink ]
[ I Want To Ask Others To Think ]
[ Not Drive The Reader To Drink ]

(1134)▪︎[ One Hard Year … 12•23•2020 ]

[ When Will The Year 2020 Give Us Good News? ]
[ If The Year Was Set To Music ]
[ It Would Definitely Be Someone Singing The Blues ]

[ The Year Started With A Bang But It Sure Is Ending
     With A Whimper ]
[ If This Was A Cinderella  Movie ]
[ She Would Never Be Able To Find Her Slipper ]

[ Or Was It A Brand New ]
[ Shoe? ]

[ It Started Out Being Made Of Gold ]
[ But Because This Year Had Been A Year Of Death & Sickness ]
[ That Missing Shoe Would Be Torn Up & Old ]

[ Year 2020 Had Alot More Downs Than Ups ]
[ There Were So Many Mountains To Climb ]
[ & Long Roads Laden With Bumps ]

[ A Bumpy Ride Would Be Putting It Mildly ]
[ Getting Better By The 1st Of The Year ]
[ Will Be Highly ]
[ Unlikely ]

[ Some Say That This Vaccine Is Like The Lone Ranger Riding
     In, To Save The Day ]
[ Others Don’t Think So ]
[ Because Most Of Society Won’t Change Their Ways ]

[ Far Too Many People Only Care About Themselves ]
[ & Refuse To Wear A Mask ]
[ Even After They’ve Been Nicely Asked ]
[ To Help Save Someone Else ]

[ 2020 Has Brought Out The Selfish Side In Some ]
[ Okay, Many ]
[ The Many Reasons They Follow A False Messiah  Is So Dumb ]
[ It Is Uncanny ]

[ Those People Will Never Listen To Reason ]
[ All That Some Of Them Care About Right Now ]
[ Will Be The Bowl Winners Of This Years College Football 
     Season ]

[ To A Man ]
[ They Would Never Reach Out Their Hand ]
[ To Help A Stranger ]
[ Because Their Head Has Been Buried In The Sand ]

[ Good Times In 2020 Have Been Very Lean ]
[ Good Times This Past Year ]
[ Have Been Very Few & Far In-Between ]

[ So After The Year 2020 Is All Done ]
[ Hope Is All We Have ]
[ For The Incoming Year, Of 2021 ]

(1116)▪︎[ What Is Eternal? … 12•16•2020 ]

[ When People Say ( HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL ) What Do They
     Really Mean? ]
[ Are They Putting Their Faith ]
[ Into Something That Is Sight Unseen? ]

[ How Much Is Faith Worth? ]
[ Do People Always Have To Have Faith Only When Their
     Circumstances Could ]
[ Should ]
[ Or Would ]
[ Get Worse? ]

[ Nobody Wants Things To Get Worse By Any Means ]
[ It Could Be As Detrimental To Some ]
[ As Having An Anaphylactic Shock Reaction After Eating
     Some Beans ]

[ Being Killed Would Be The Very Worse, Of Course ]
[ You Never Want Your Last Ride Through Town ]
[ Being The Only Passenger In The Back Of A Hearse ]

[ But Some Say Having Hope Is A Terrible Thing
     To Count On ]
[ Alot Of Life Can Go By ]
[ By The Time All Of Your Hope Is Gone ]

[ You Can’t Physically Hold Hope In The Palm Of
     Your Hand ]
[ Is Relying On Hope Like Burying Your Head In The Sand? ]

[ Not Working Towards Anything ]
[ But Expecting Something ]

[ To Happen ]
[ But When? ]
