The sweetness in my mouth
Isn't the Chai as it slides down my throat
But the charge that was laid to it
When you gave it to me as a gift
Now that was sweet…
“Wishing for decency will not make hateful people be nice/kind or decent towards others.” – Manea
I cannot beat the anger down
Within me with mental banter.
If I want peace
It is my heart whom
I must negotiate.
Living at Mach 10
And burning the candle
Not just at both ends
But in the middle too…
My body revolts
And sits my ass down,
For a good long talk.
Take time to sleep
Until done
Walk instead of drive
Drop a class
Instead of taking on
Too much…
Eat living things
Not microwaved ones.
Take time to plan ahead
Not just at the last minute…
