Top Choice

Left or right ?

Dim or bright ?

High or low?

So hard to know
the proper life choice to make
or the best course to take
when every option is replete
with variables we can not foresee..

Once upon a time way back in '93
the confirmed bachelor that was me
made the brave play
to push all my relationship chips in
and gamble on the game of matrimony
with a lovely buxomy young lassie
who fortunately
was in to playing long shots like yours truly..

Sometimes odd couples like we
make the very best matching set..

So even when dealt a losing hand by life
and I zigged when I should have zagged
I am a winner in grandest of schemes
cause I lucked out when you agreed
to be my forever wife..

And we ain't done yet

Self Spillage

 

These moral blinders you wear
to justify your rationalizations
are starting to slip..

Like that loose lid on your hypocrisy
currently leaking released reality 
and spilling all over
your once pristine false narrative..

The damage control for this mess
has the potential to be quite an expense..

Next time roll with a tad more clarity.. 

Take the vow of responsibility..
and assume self ownership
of this oft imperfect life

Delusion in a Box

 

I like my box..

Love it you could say..

Though I use to not
relish the restrictions
those walls brought..

Cause I had been indoctrinated
by the whole freedom myth..

That  "Birds need to fly" bullshit..

So one day I flew away..

Blew my peer pressured ass
right out of my cozy coop..

Crash landed..

Bad choices..

It happens..

So I traded in my frayed wings
for that retirement from everything thing

Now I do so love
my flimsy cardboard box
for the security it brings

Fake as it may be

For in this fleeting life
self delusion is the thing

Self Inflicted

Despite massive rationalizations
and desperate protestations
there can be little doubt
that time is running out..

When grading our terra stewardship
it will be the determination
of alien archeologists
that the species in charge really blew it..

Ruining one cool little planet
with their fatal arrogance 
and unrelenting greed

Push For Release

Do not play the part
of outraged middle age 
when your offspring
does impractical things
that young adults tend to do...

They are transitioning through
and making crazy memories
that they will forget too
when lecturing their own kids someday..

Hypocrisy ain't hard wired in our DNA..

It's a just another nasty trait we pick up along the way
