Purely Selfish

Every body’s,
Got a reason,
Client,
Customer,
Capitalist for sure,
Castrated
Saturated,
Masturbated,
Sexual and pure,
Wants for you,
Wants for me,
Wants for everybody,
They ain’t here,
You ain’t there,
Only one thin line,
To declare,
A moment,
Of self,
A moment in time,
A moment they want,
Just in your line,
If not for them,
Then another,
Brother Sister,
Father Mother,
They all want,
We all need,
That moment of greed,
Wouldn’t be there,
Wouldn’t know the time,
It’s all purely selfish,
And always right on a dime.

Sage

As we grow with time,
Like a flower on a vine,
We weather the storms,
As our shape forms,
We stretch in the light,
Sleep in the night,
Spread seeds to multiply,
Sweet honey bee fly,
Our wisdom is made of scars,
Our years no longer at large,
Grace, elegance and beauty,
In smile of scrutiny,
The age of the sage is not told in years,
Or in the counting of our fears,
It is shown in love everlasting,
In the fine art of compassion,
From the hungry belly fed,
To good night and off you’re led,
There is now wonder and no pretense,
Of the ones who make a difference……
