Very complicated
On how
Things got so convoluted
Into the craziness
Experienced by
Everyone participating
But yet
Not given the same respect
Respect is earned
Though some people
Think it is a given
Regardless of how
They treated you
Behind your back
Or even right
In front of you
You want me to like you
Treat the janitor
And the president the same.

Now why shouldn’t you
Go and be what you wanted
Now why shouldn’t you
Tell your family every day you love them
Now why shouldn’t you
Try something new
Now why shouldn’t you
Apologize for misgivings
Now why shouldn’t you
Start today
-Jennie Nawrocki
Side by side
They have been
With different goals
All along
One wanted friends
The other wanted
Lifetime followers
Both were religious
To the spiritual
Entity they believed
Women’s and minority’s Rights
Everybody’s necessity
Both wanted recognition
For their accomplishments
To make the world
Safer, streamlined
And loving
Only one
Was successful
Though the goals
Didn’t seem
That much different

I have been watching old seasons of shows recently and they have me thinking. I know some say bad others say good your choice to decide.
On one episode I saw this person go out of their way to get to know someone to be their friend. All I could think why couldn’t more people do that. Then I saw the other side of the story where someone continues to say anything you want, have you on their good side until they just dump you. In the past 11 years I have mostly encountered the later. So much so when meeting anyone new I ask, Where’s the poop? And have received it so many ways, it is really ingenious how it comes about on a daily basis. Now I don’t ask where’s the poop because I know it is coming. I simply ask are you really going to be nice to me longer than a moon cycle or a commet? Be a friend.

Is it way too much
To give or spread love?
But how can that be
To feel loved
Only empowers people
Gives confidence
And security
That is never achieved
Unless that hug
That smile
That compliment
Is received wholly.
