Month: May 2022
we litigate our sorrows
mediate happiness
negotiate contentment
barter wisdom for unsuspecting logic
did we stop
looking
for the trust
for the certainty
in what we know
what we carry
veiled imperfections
spiteful recollection
accepted resentment
the perseverance of inadequacies
as we keep
close
to the truth
to the familiar
to what we know
what we carry
compromised ethics
unwritten guarantees
pathetic promises
admit what you have lived through

What can I say?
What should I think?
Why?
This can happen anywhere.
This man was walking down the street with a gun, apparently towards a school.
What was he thinking?
Why?

as with all we accept,
we choose that which
brings colour into
our lives.
Beauty is there,
offered and accepted.
Choose to see where
it comes from.
