Vexation and Vanity

Ah, they drive me raving mad,
A fool, a buffoon, an unruly lad
A prankster, a trickster, a tattler
A gigolo, a lounger and an idler;

An imposter, a pretender, a loafer
A party crasher, a tailgater, a golfer
A boondoggler, a pavement pounder
or a politician’s deceitful expounder.

I often tear my hair out at a silly pun
or at a smart aleck who can out-run,
A hoax or a sly scam drives me crazy
which is but absurd, witless or sleazy.

But a luscious lass looks at me lovingly
and whispers sweet nothing seductively,

the sacrifice

A world at peace
That's what they promised my niece
A planet that is one
That's what they told my son
"he won't have to give his life"
The lie they told my wife
But they send us home broken
We still have to fight
Just to keep ourselves alive
"There's too many veterans dying"
They all say
But until you survive your worst day
You'll never know what life truly is
On the same side of that coin
We're trained killers
No better than those rotting in prison
But ours...ours has a reason

America home of the broken
Because of the sacrifice

Expiry Date

Oh God, Reveal My Expiry Date

I strive each day to craft a brighter dawn,
Sacrifice upon sacrifice, from dusk till dawn.
I pour my soul into a tomorrow I may never meet,
Enduring today’s storms, bitter and sweet.

I carry the weight of now with trembling might,
Chasing a future that may never see light.
I bleed my heart to paint a hopeful sky,
Yet wonder—will I be there when dreams fly high?

games

Hey there! Just wanted to share my recent find, https://sarkariresurt.com/. I stumbled upon this site through an online ad, and what drew me in was the freebet feature they offer. I’m fairly new to betting, so having that cushion to start was really helpful. The site itself feels trustworthy and easy to navigate, which makes the whole experience way less stressful. I’m happy with how I could explore different games using freebet credits and still enjoy some wins.

I want you to believe in me

Father
I want you to believe in me
Because I am always telling you the truth
I live a hard life
Every single day
I also have to make
Choices in my life
And that is very hard for me
But I do it any way
Father today I had slept in
Because I was tired
And I needed the rest
I want you to believe in me
I never forget to pray for you
First thing in the morning

Handle With Care

People often forget that humans
are as fragile as glass.
They are easy to break.

They take ill easily if not well-cared for.
Keep them wrapped and dry.
Eyes turned to the sky, not downcast.

And make sure not to step upon
their feet or feelings simply
because you can.

Handle everyone with care...
for all of us are human
in the end.

As an underdog given a short leash on life

alternately titled give one targeted scapegoat a break,
an unquenchable thirst for moolah before I wake
from nightmare of computer hackers.

I tread upon the oblate spheroid
along the edge of night glistening
like a blade runner wielding a knife.

Dark shadows hoover
from the outer limits of the twilight zone
illuminating one bisel mashugana naked ape
alienated and lost in space.

An invisible umbilical cord
tethers yours truly to planet earth,
whereat sorry excuse for a human
symbiotically uber twittering
