Is The World Going Crazy

 IS THE WORLD GOING CRAZY OR IS IT ME

 

Stop asking so many questions or

I could begin to think you’re a cop

I can’t think up the answers that fast

Are you the prosecution or what

Stop looking into my eyes so deep

Like if you look real hard you’ll see what you wanna see 

Like you can see through me

Crinkling like cellophane my body withers before you

You want answers to your questions or what

What are you trying to see

Is it the I in you

Or the I in I

Please see I’m only trying to bring the situation to fruition

It just takes a little more preparation

Forever searching for direction

It’s making a huge impression on me

How many decisions do I have to make

No, I’m a grown woman I don’t need permission

I don’t care about your trepidation

I’m searching for liberation

Haven’t found it anywhere

It’s not as clear as it used to be

I thought I was so aware

It isn’t always fair either

Too many discussions

Deliberations on the same old themes

Wars & losses, poverty, and gasoline prices

Dresses & designers, writers & artists

Vacations & lives, returning home again

Our time and space is limited,

We’re here on this earth to enjoy life do

What we can, our minds so full of clutter

the glimmer the shimmer outside

draws into the glow

mostly it’s all show

sometimes we can’t see what’s right in front of us

I couldn’t see that book that’s clearly right

there on the bookshelf where you left it before

after we looked and looked;

neither of us could see that book right there on the shelf

right there on the shelf

looked once then twice we saw nothing

Looking through the glass pane window

Should I should go in or wait out here

Alone in the rain of my life

The drops glistening on my skin

Should I join the crowd inside

Watching diamonds in the rough

Watching is never enough

give me a moment or two

I’ma go rearrange the universe

DRUGS ON THE RISE

DRUG PHASE

 

Living life in a daze

So many drugs create a haze

By now I know it’s not a phase 

After all these years it shouldn’t faze me

 

Someone said, “It’s over a dozen years, 

going through the same fears.”

Put your life in arrears 

you should know it’s not a phase

 

“After all these years, 

you should know it’s a way of life”

So should I stop trying now 

After all these years 

THE WORLD IS A DANGER ZONE

Listen To the Poetry Queen, Violetwrites, Read  plus read while you listen 

- this is 2nd half - Below is 1st half of poem.

Fear to venture out

Afraid of myself 

Have to hide myself away of my own free will

Because I’m dangerous

Dangerous to my health and yours

So try to stay away from me

I’m fat so all these layers of fat are there to protect me from you, you, and you

I’m the you, the you – you never want to be, you even define yourself by the absence of affect which clearly puts me there at the center, and you look at me and say, “I will never be you! I would never be able to do what you did,” but walk a mile in everyone else’s shoes and somehow you find yourself there, in my shoes and me in yours

That’s what happens in interchangeable movies, right! We exchange the old for the young and young for the old. Then, somehow, when the young come back to old, who they really are, they all know what they thought they didn’t know, and after the interchange, and exchange, they recall, maintain and retain the change they knew and came back to

Where it all began and where we’ve been, what we learn, what we have to do

It counts if you went to the school of hard knocks

Please don’t send me back there

It’s how this all began, there, where I was born

No way to stop the clock, lost in this reverie 

Each day I’m more unhealthy to myself than the day before

A cycle of self hate, blame for who you are

Who I am who I say I’ll never be

Intentions matter say some

Others say only actions

I don’t know who to believe

Do I know where I am?

I don’t know anything 

Everyday that I live I know myself less each day I live

I try my best to know 

Yet what I know is I know less instead of more

What a dilemma!

I seek peace is hard to find

Peace

Peace to the planet

Peace to all who survive here

Where 

Here on our planet

Pray we humans all survive, animals, all inhabitants survive

Peace to all

Earth to all

Spread the Love and Peace to all

Om mani padme hum

Aooommmmmmmmm
