Stupidity

Some people vote, but never think,  
Their choices shallow, quick to sink.  
They cheer and boast, with voices loud,  
But wisdom’s lost inside the crowd.  

They claim to fight for what is right, 
But never see beyond the sight. 
Lost in slogans, round they spin,  
Too blind to see the mess we’re in.  

So here’s to those who blindly choose,  
Their judgment lost, they’ll always lose.  
They choose without a second glance,  
Then wonder why they’re stuck in a trance.

  • You

    Meeting you is like spring water reflecting pear blossoms,  
    Seeing you is like the chirping of cicadas accompanying the summer,  
    Thinking of you is like a thousand arrows piercing my heart,  

  • Ish

    Not quite,  
    but close.  
    A shade off,  
    a soft blur,  

    Almost there,  
    but waiting,  
    somewhere between  
    yes and maybe. 

  • The Sun

    The sun hangs high, a golden blaze,
    Filling the sky with unblinking gaze.
    It watches over the land, fierce and bold,
    Turning the ground to burnished gold.
