Knowledge, Knowledge, Everywhere (National Poetry Writing Month 2015 #4)   Leave a comment

Knowledge, Knowledge, Everywhere
But no one stops to think.
They’re busy playing on Facebook,
Or having too much to drink.

Knowledge, Knowledge, everywhere
But no one seems to care.
They’re too busy shoving their heads
Up their collective derriere.

Knowledge, Knowledge everywhere
So what’s a man to do?
The world would be a better place,
If more believed in what is true.

Knowledge, Knowledge, everywhere
I’ll teach them how to yearn
For discovery, exploration
and all the cool things to learn.

For My Mother (National Poetry Writing Month #4)   Leave a comment

For My Mother

I can’t save time in a bottle,
or say I love you in a song.
The feelings are too complex,
The emotions far too strong.

I cannot comprehend it
Cannot find the words to say.
But were it not not for you, Mom
I would not be here today.

So for all the times you loved me,
When I would only push away.
For all the times you held me up,
and kept the darkness at bay.

I may not always show it,
But know that this is true.
For everything you give me
Mom, I love you.

Happy Birthday Mom. 🙂
