Again, another hot day.
The heat is unbearable.
Need to cool down, fast.
Only so much to take off.
Air conditioning, now please…

Overcrowded places.
Bring out my anxiety.
Remember to breathe.
Don’t let it overwhelm you.
Just be brave and keep going…

Why Did You Leave?

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony

Why have you left me

In my deepest hour of need

You have let me down

Deserted, I seek comfort

Alone, with no one to hold

Abandoned

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony

https://empathmuch.wordpress.com/

I am abandoned

Dropped just like a bad habit

Really a sad thing

Lonely and forlorn, I weep

Longing for warmth and solace

Inflation

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony

https://empathmuch.wordpress.com/

Here prices skyrocket.
Need to find new ways to pay.
The struggle is real.
You’d better save up my friend.
As it’s not getting cheaper…

Interesting times.
Don’t know what is going.
What the world will be.
I’m sure it’ll crazy.
Just buckle up, buttercup…

Adult Tantrums

Adult tantrums,
Tempered and wild,
Grown-ups acting like a child.
Frustrations unchecked,
Emotions untamed,
Rationality, completely drained.


Words thrown like daggers,
Actions fueled by rage,
A storm brewing on life’s stage.
But when the storm passes,
And the dust settles down,
Regret and shame, wearing a frown.


For in this moment,
We forget our age,
And unleash our inner rage.


So let’s take a breath,
And count to ten,
Before we lose ourselves again.
Adult tantrums,
Tempered they may be,
But the damage they cause, we’ll forever see.

Society Changes

What would you change about modern society?

I believe that we should strive to create a society where compassion and empathy are the guiding principles in our interactions with one another. This means taking the time to understand and appreciate the experiences and challenges of others, and offering support and kindness whenever possible. By promoting a culture of compassion, we can create a more inclusive and supportive society for everyone.

SAUCE
CAUSE
SCARE

Sally put sauce on her apple tart,
‘Cause without it, it’d surely fall apart.
It gave the tart a little extra flair,
And she ate it all without a single scare!

WELCOME
SHANTY
GIRL

Welcome to the shanty, said the girl,
Where the walls are thin and the roof’s a-twirl.
The mice may scurry, the roof may leak,
But our spirits are high, never meek.
So come on in and have a seat,
In this shanty where life’s a treat!

Square Pumpkin

In a patch of round pumpkins, one stood square,
Different and unique, but beyond compare.
It inspired others to embrace what makes them distinct,
For in being true to ourselves, we find strength to coexist.
