Timmy's Journal - 50. Two Poems for Your Consideration
There is evil in the world that makes me not want to be here sometimes. There are mistakes that are made and people who don't think what their acid tongues can do to others.
Yet there is so much to celebrate and love, too. Though at the moment I don't see much of it. Just a couple of poems...
#1
Why don’t we ever learn?
Are we wired to ignore lessons of the past?
Over and over generations repeat,
The sins of their fathers
We are poets and scholars and lovers
Murderers, haters and detractors
Selfish above all life on our Earth
What will survive once we’ve destroyed ourselves?
#2
I am gentle and loving, forgiving
I’ll give of myself, offer my hand
Until you bite that which cares
Then in my wake I will leave you
Though I will mourn that loss
But I will open my door,
should you have a change of heart
And I will bid you welcome.
