A Rhymist Reading The News

I read

Every weekend

The Wall Street Journal

The NY Times

This information I gather

Opinion pieces I’d rather

Center my thoughts upon

Current political ideas

Future current event rhymes

Information in the new era

Can feel as racing forward

On The Audobon!

Conspiracy theories

Rabbit holes

Alternate facts

Are not traveled paths

I have explored upon

Journalism and books

Varied rich information sources

Help me to choose a side

Formulate an integral literate guide

Go The Distance

Walk a mile in my shoes

Hit the fork

Pick a route

Go the distance

Then compute

Start from A

Then get to B

Along the way

Helps you to see

Movement sways

Possibility

Intrinsically

Sets you free!

Let go the distance!

Be your plea

As you climb upon the trees

Eat the fruit

That you can reach

Be kind to those you meet

Go the distance

You will succeed

Let go the distance be your creed

Build a better society

Go the distance!

As a seed

Grow infinitely

Ready to pull the weeds

Making flowers for the bees

Healing comes to those who seek

Along the way you will experience grief

Never fear

Take the lead

The One

Proceeds

Go the distance!

DIAMOND

Diamond

Crystal structure

Unique

Solid carbon

Light-giver

Highest sound velocity

Thermal conductivity

A gem to the nth degree

Pyramid

Apex

Less mass

Towards the pyramidion

Majority of its mass

Close to the ground

Monumental

Built for Emperors and Kings

Throughout the world

A symbol of man-made ingenuity

Of which doth

The One

The Universal Seer

Seeker beseech?

For the working class people!

Down-trodden poor

Women

Men

Children

The elderly

And the babies

Via a social uplifting economy!

A sparkling fat middle class

As it postulates

Celestial fates

In Deuteronomy

And all around of me!

Pyramids are entombed

With massive income inequality!

Living on in exalted infamy

The economy!

Says the feminine deity

Must be built as a diamond!

Not a pyramid

With a burgeoning middle class for posterity

Awake

Awake

Sentient being

From your nightly slumber

The unconscious mind

Director of hands

Feet

Movement

The inner thought rumbler

Conduit from the Divine

Daylight is upon us!

The sun shines

Rain

The sustenance of life

The Universe provides

Forget for a moment

Thine strife

Awake!

Dear time traveler

Be mindful

Then get on with the vagaries

Be strong!

Right from wrong

Navigating the peaks and valleys

Of your own unique

Challenging

Finite Life

Prior to your expiry

Respire!

You belong!

When I Was a Boy

When I was a boy

And I goes to school

Listen to the Teachers

Learn the Golden Rule

All my classmates say

Each day

You gots to be cool!

If you wear the Skippies

Then you’ll be a fool!

Catch the Cooties

You hair will turn blue!

The Maypole dance!

Hopeful

Bashful children

Performing traditional stepping hand-in-hand

Music

Music

Enhances mood

Well-being

Set out on a string

Sound enters

As an audition

To the living being

Notes fill the Universe

The anxiety freeing

Content creations

Dance sensations

Mood deviations

Transmit subliminally to The Sentient One

Jazz

Rock n roll

Swing

Lend gravitas
