Toils of Lifes Fortune

Oh, fortune then a
breeze blowing me
past my life and into
the next.

I neither remain
vigilant or even hopeful
for values higher than
the worth of my ruin.

This longest of ends
makes dark sorrows
of contemplations, long
held of dreams that since
have departed my reason.

Forward and into tomorrow,
I must surely perish or worse,
suffer hope- that illusive fruit
that grows ever more bitter with
each bite.

Cursing the pains of my
indignation, while I must
tow the wind of  life behind
me. When hence it fails to
make sail and carry me thru
to the ended torment of its
long winding traverse.

Soldiers adorn the road
telling things of youth and
wearily giving me glimpses into
the nature of this travel.

Neither catching rest or being
able to cause this delay in my
fate. I trust not, in using my
experience to guide me further.

Wonder has ceased to arrive.
Acceptance replaces the fray of
my busied thoughts.

The reservation stated thus,
shall be kept no matter what
I have lived or how forceful
I engaged in love through
my time of dying .

An American Economic Limerick

An American economic limerick.
Our money spent and none to find
we are broke most all the time.
Cash that fell like leaves from trees.
Now blows a blustery economic
Breeze. The season changed and
Our government too.

Our capital sent with national dissent .
And spent on foreign aggrandizement.
Leaves us pained and worse for wear.
The jobs we find not anywhere.
They say we are at fault for this.

Cause payments too our lenders we missed.
So now they must act in haste and not a
Moments tax dollar to waste.
Thus to the economy they stimulate.
The banker now has been repaid and
keeps the cash that we once saved.
Lending none for promises sake.
And punishing us yet another day.

The cost of tomorrow grows. And skittish
Is the to an fro. The bureaucrat has made
The claim that soon he will win the game.
So stay and play and he will pay.
It does not matter what team, you see.
They both give so generously.

Issues surrounding the democrats approach to Islamic groups.
