Nights are long
You fail to breathe
Stretching your arm
It hurts what's wrong
Must exercise in time
Muscles did dwindle
Lifting and bending
Do you have to.....
Of course
It's never too late
Be again strong
In the morning dew
A whistle a song

Just a self assessment

Drum up the memories
Slide into your past
Enter a long lane
Where blurred memories
Identify dreams
Long ago cast
Push away your Demons
The ones who haunt you
now and then
Cause those you want to forget
Not the good times you had

Just a thought practiced
Flatfielder Dec 2020
During conversation
Between young and old
Certain leader mentioned
His practices beyond scope
Human civilization
Dignity and charm
Not nurtured but contested

A young person gives a point
Thinks coarse language and lies
Are better than smooth talk
Or suffering cries

But how will that person ever know
If blinded by rhetoric
Out of the land of dystopia
My worn knee
Just made that hurting click

Immense beyond comprehension
Once you hit time changes within
A country a human being
Only the latter might commit sin
The sinner the lover
Who plays by the rules
Ever-changing measures
To be hot to be cool
Changes in temperatures
A degree up maybe down
Dynamics of a country
Causing floods same time drought
Our hemisphere be large within
Like the country or sphere
How far do we look
To value we are here

Appreciation
Flatfielder Nov 2020
Stand up straight
Regain posture
Commands ring my ear
Always feared
Never experienced
They are still around
You ducked life as it ought to have been
Take pen and paper
They endure
Your self doubt exhillirations
All combined and accepted
How to be sure?

Exhaustion
Flatfielder Nov 2020
Lines of discontent
Drawn out for decades
It doesn't make sense
Keep on going scratch and muddy
Self-righteous behaviour
Why bury yourself
Diminish family
Isolate friends
Can't see a light
Dullness sets in
Where are you now
This battle you won't win

Observations hurt
Flatfielder Nov 2020
Years as a loner
Under the big changing Sky
work and commitment
Family shared, misbelief  a far cry
Yet down in his heart
A burning light
Hidden, secretly shielded
Condescending bullies outside
Illumination never extinguished
Shined at an occurence
Where clashes opened windows
Into a new bright world
He had to find a deed personal
To give it all he had
Persona physic in real time
No apprehensions met
Taking the reign of his gatekeepers' soul
Chose desires to be freed
To find freedoms mole
His mind at ease
A song danced his whistle
This lad with a brithel
