Giving Thanks

Ode to Ned

You lived on a farm

Perhaps in a barn

One day you woke up

And all around was harm.

'Cuz the farmer came after you

Wielding an ax

And you were running and gobbling

Hoping farmer'd be lax.

Alas you saw red

And lost your head.

Oh, Ned. Oh, Ned.

But we are very happy

You lost your head

'Cuz now we can eat you

And go happily to bed.

Thank you, Ned!

Silence



Once upon a time there was a girl

And she was true.

And there were people who looked upon her

And they saw what they would.

And what they saw was not the truth

But that was what they saw.

And they made judgements

And they interpreted things

And they believed they were right.

And she was there

Listening to the whispers

The shouts

The mumblings

The accusations.

And she shut down.

And went inside herself

And chose to keep quiet.

Perhaps one day

In that perfect silence...

Perhaps

The truth will be revealed

And she may be understood.

And at last she may speak

Truth.

Through

A smile

A laugh

A glance

A flick of the wrist

The hip

The little toe.

No more judgements

No more interpretations

Just the truth...

Spoken through the unspoken.

Indifference


Indifference is cold

Peppered with lack:

A look, a touch, a smile, an acknowledgement.

There is no passion

No want

No driving motion in any particular direction.

Just inertia:

A cesspool of stagnant thoughts,

Feelings

Actions.

The question I am unable to answer is the following:

Can you really just be indifferent,

Or is it something that grows on you?

If it grows on you,

Wouldn't that mean that you grow into lack;

That you grow towards death?

And if you are just indifferent,

Doesn't that mean that you live in lack?

That the death has settled within you?

And could it be,

That you can exit that world?

Travel from indifference to caring?

Can the current flow in that direction?

Is is a legend or has there been proof of its existence?

For once I have gone indifferent,

I cannot recollect ever having gone back to the land of the living;

Not with that thought,

Not with that thing.

Disinterest


Twould be a shame


In this crazy game


To lose interest now...


Who’s to blame?




The inane stumblings


Of drunken souls…


Forgotten goals


Ill-fitting roles.




Time passes and


Things fade away


Fall apart


Waiting for the day


When the new


Emerges


And purges


The scourges...




Upon awakening then


In a white-washed den


And all around are men


And you're the only hen...



The routine goes out the window


And every friend can hide a foe


So you come armed: arrow and bow


And hunting your own prey


Hang the status quo...




Interest...


Then,


Keeps.
