A planted seed that

never should have been

Now decades on still

remains unseen.

 

The gift of life –

A random gene

Is now the time to

finally come clean?

And in a life

that had a

chequered past

And mud once

slung was

surely there

to last

And fortune cookies

eaten until sick

No other option

was there

but to tick.

 

 

 

 

 

Upon this earth we dwell

as best we can

In harmony and trust

with fellow man

Until the time when

in our coffin lay

A job well done

until the close of day.

 

 

 

 

Oh God, I sat there

mesmerised as he

analysed each word.

His trained voice bringing

a whole new meaning

to ones I’d thought absurd.

 

 

 

 

 

Today is yours and

all things are possible

Tomorrow is but a day

that might never be

Live in the present,

wasting not a single

moment

The future is for fools

too numb to see.

Come back to your homeland

and your friends, be among.

To remain imprisoned in this

crazy, self imposed exile, can

only be wrong.

Come back to New York

where you belong.

What fool, whilst on a whim,

would leave for pastures new, in order,

a better lifestyle to pursue?

What fool, without a care,

would seek out greener grass, only to

end up in some concrete underpass?

 What fool, who saw the folly of his ways

would disappear and put himself to graze?

What fool, who stark reality could not face

would regret forever, fleeing his home base?

What’s ‘forever’ when one is

finished anyway? It’s only the

blue horizon, and as far as the

eye can see.

Why worry about the future, when

we are all but dead leaves on a tree.

None of us being immortal, nor

ever reaching eternity free.

 

 

 

 

Think hard until you find the answer

It’s there somewhere gathering dust.

Use it, or lose it forever

Don’t let the mind turn to rust.

Simmering gently,

Coming to the boil.

Bubbling nicely,

Worth all the toil.
