Fleeting Thoughts

This world is so Un-attending Where do we go With condescending How do we know We are complaining We have lost Our social grace We live so fast We’re out of place Will it all last Without disgrace I ponder why Every single day I am at a loss For a true answer I wonder why We live this way Who is the boss Are we a cancer The frightening thoughts That we all have Are always in the paper Our sadness comes from last resorts After we all gave To the government reaper Why do we do The android Can we not choose or get annoyed Are we just fools Who are denied The climate changed We no longer live Life’s been rearranged We now must give We now have insane As we survive The words you just read Are of fleeting thoughts They come from all over But land in one place I have said what I said The fights have been fought There is no four leaf clover just a slice of micro peace Copyright © 2014 Steven Cetta All Rights Reserved Image Credit: CoolText.com

Cool Steven

Its great you can gather these fleeing thoughts together and make something of them. Micro peace is very significant..like that term. I will adopt it..it is better than no peace at all.

A very interesting poem from a concerned, caring and observing person whose thoughts can go anywhere and everywhere and hopefully someday, somewhere.

@1hopefulman Thanks. I am no stranger to MyLot. As you know I have been here for many years now. And yes, this is the best forum to share my poems and my short stories. I tried many there sites that seemed to fail or stop paying for content.

I don't want to think much of the problems of the world in which I have no control of. I can barely have my own control here.

Life has been somewhat up and down for me for awhile. Some good and some bad. But now everything is good. So I am happy to be posting again. Although I still go through periods of not coming online. I have been getting back into vinyl records with my son. So that has been taking some of my time up.

@inertia4 Yep, I believe that the place got a good deal for their $250. It is good to have a hobby that you can share with your son!

@Shellyann36 Wow, that's cheap. I wish I was around for that. I still have all my vinyl from the 70's and up. I did stop buying them for some years but got back into it with my son. He loves vinyl. I guess it's cool again. And the one thing with that is that you own the music. And always have it.

With everything going on right now, your poem is not only great but so very apt too. "We now have insane As we survive. " These words of yours are so very true.
