(1433)▪︎[ It’s Not As It Seems … 12•26•2019 ]

[ He Says He’s Smiling Inside ]
[ But Don’t Let That Fool You ]
[ His Insides Had Died ]
[ In Year Number Two ]

[ How Could He Just Sit & Smile When He’s In So Much Pain? ]
[ There He Is, Going Through The Motions Everyday ]
[ With Nothing To Gain ]

[ Smiling Again & Again ]
[ Is That Committing A Sin? ]
[ Who Loses? ]
[ Who Wins? ]

[ As Good As It Is To Lie ]
[ It Must Have Been Done ]
[ By The Other Guy ]

[ But Why Do They Make A Joke ]
[ About Going Up To That Old Man ]
[ & Giving Him A Poke? ]

[ Poking Another ]
[ Should Not Be A Laughing Matter ]
[ To Someone Else’s Brother ]
[ Your Comments Does Not Bring Any Laughter ]

[ It Is A Bit Unrealistic ]
[ To Say People Are Helping ]
[ When They Are So Antagonistic ]

[ But Where In Life Is The Finish Line? ]
[ Is It Anywhere Close ]
[ To When You Go Dakine? ]

[ So Many People Leave Life As An Unfinished Project ]
[ When They Started Out As Such A Good Prospect ]

[ Some May Have A Mid-Life Crisis & Never Bounce Back ]
[ Is That Because They Are In Hiding ]
[ From A Blind Sided Attack? ]

[ When You Finally Have The Answers In Life ]
[ Someone Changes The Questions ]
[ Given To Them By Their Wife ]

[ The Moral Of This Story ]
[ If You Go Through Life Looking For Glory ]

[ Glory Is What You Make ]
[ When You’re In A Giving Mood ]
[ Instead Of Being In The Mood To Take ]
[ Or Being Rude ]
[ & Nobody Needs A Fake ]
[ Attitude ]

(484)▪︎[ Man On The Inside … 5•16•2020 ]

[ Is The Man On The Inside ]
[ The One Who Almost Died ]
[ With His Eyes Open Wide? ]

[ All Bloodshot ]
[ From Thinking Through All Of His ]
[ Incoming Thoughts ]

[ What Should He Do, When They Come Into His Mind? ]
[ Does He Handle The Negative Ones ]
[ Differently, Than The Positive Kind? ]

[ His Mind Is So Complex ]
[ Because His Memory Is Like A Large Rolodex ]

[ When The Thought Comes In ]
[ & The Memory Turns On ]
[ That’s When The Rolling Of The Cards Begin ]

[ One After The Other ]
[ Does He Remind Him Of His Brother? ]
[ What About Her ]
[ & His Mother? ]

[ But The Memory That Comes Into His Head ]
[ Is That Those Two People ]
[ Have Long Been Dead ]

[ If Not, Than Who? ]
[ Each Card Brings Back A Memory ]
[ A Face, A Name ]
[ That’s What They Do ]
[ But In His Eyes ]
[ Most Of Them Looks The Same ]
[ Too ]

[ One By One ]
[ He Doesn’t Remember, He Just Can’t Tell ]
[ He Does Know When He’s Done ]
[ It’s When He Comes Upon The One That Rings A Bell ]

[ & Then The Next Day It Starts All Over Again ]
[ Then ]

[ This Time It Is A Familiar Face ]
[ In An Unfamiliar Place ]

~ The End ~

[ Mahalo ]
