Random thoughts



Mixed ups

Do fireflies cry,
When another firefly.
Shorts out it's life,
By burning out it's light.
Does it leave behind,
Its children and a wife.

Does it get reborn,
To start another life.
Or are fireflies like moth's,
Get drawn into the light.

CREATURES

Who am I to deny,
The creatures in my bed.
There's a one tooth vampire,
That bites me on my leg.

Summer time?

As the world turns black,
It's nice to see the starling's back.
Do I feel a early summer breeze,
After all where I live it feels,
As though it's above zero degrees.

Putin

The modern day Hitler,
Of our time.
Hope someday soon,
He'll pay for all his crimes.

Megalomaniacs

In history how many evil men,
With upto six letters in their name.
Trump, Putin, Stalin, Hitler to me,
They all seem the same.

Looking for myself

Sometimes I feel as if I'm not here,
I have a sense of nothingness.
That goes from ear to ear,
I seem to lose my mind,
At least once a year.

In Supermarkets

Funny things you see.
Recycled toilet paper,
Just sounds wrong to me.

Reposts

Occasionally I feel,
Wouldn't it be nice.
If only:
I could do a repost,
Of my ill remembered life.
