Ugghhh....

I’m in a mood.
You know which one.
Yeah, the one where you just want to hurt someone.
I don’t know why.
I think that it is because I am just getting so tired of the bullshit going on.
Kids cannot go outside without being gang beaten.
Kids cannot leave for school in the morning without getting caught in the middle of a gun fight.
You would think that I live in large Texas city like Dallas, or Houston.
We don’t.
We live in a small West Texas rural city.
You know the type.
The one where you think nothing bad could happen at.
That’s not the case anymore.
I blame society.
So, who do I hurt?
The media?
They are the responsible ones.
Society?
They do dictate what the media airs.
The people that our children idolize are criminals.
From the media our children learn that you can do anything you want and not have to deal with the consequences as long as you have a lot of money.
Life was good.
For the most part, life is good.
The world sucks.

A tear is a story,
It starts very lightly, climaxes
Then it fades away

Love is a snake,
It pierces deep into you,
And poisons the heart.

Love is a rainbow
Glows only after tears have
Fallen as the rain.

I Should

Today,
I should bake a cake
To remember the man you were.
I should make a call
To sing in celebration of your birth.
I should present a package
For you to unwrap sealed with love.

But today,
I feel the pinpricks jab my heart,
The hot salty tears sting my eyes,
And I realize you are forever gone,
Never again to be held in open arms,
Never again to dry the tears and set my mind at ease.

So tomorrow,
I shall awake to find a new day,
I shall cuddle my babes in my arms,
I shall sing my praises upon a high,
And send my prayers through heavenly skies.

And tomorrow,
I will let you go!
