Possessions-with short glossary

Possessions

If one writes poems today
Heedless of how the wind blew
Come tomorrow     What may
So  Who? You or me? Will pay.

To live or exist without possessions

Could be compared to freedom
As in nothing else to lose
Do you'all wish to be them.

Whacky though this may seem, or is that seam

When you are fourteen stories high
Would you choose to step off the beam?
Or simply grab what good can buy.

Often then the best went askew

Before anyone thought it through
Has the indictment been proven?
We all weren't groovin' .

Notwithstanding,   you may sing and dance

If its past, then went the chance
Drummend out by its own beat
Now that's quite a feat.

In all this parlance, as expressed herein

Not a play on words today
Have we been reminded
We are proven simply human.

Choices we have to make

To not allow the good to be the enemy of the best
To live within the rules and not jest
Recognize my Higher Power and not bake.

Since I live not as an island nor glum

My time on earth not a pun
As I live and pray under the sun
Exchange words, work, aide, smiles with aplomb.
