Life & Speed

Living slowly helps us savor
Life’s precious moments;
And living fast
Kidnaps those precious moments
Never to be returned.

Nature & Living Things

Nothing living
Notices everything
But nature always does.

Brutality & Enlightenment

Brutality
Is the power
Of un-enlightenment;
The more enlightened
The more kind we are
And the more ignorant
The more cruel we get.

Stories & Time

Stories told of yesteryears
      
Come to us through little ears
      
Hold us captive in their spheres;
       
When the years will disappear
        
Only stories keep them near
      
For our little ears to hear.

Alcohol & Weight

Alcohol consumption
Can cause weight gain
In seven sundry ways:
-The calories in alcohol
-The cravings for more alcohol
-The carbohydrates in the drinks
-The increased appetites ensuing
-The prolonged sitting around food
-The lethargy and inactivity that follow
-The fatigue and cravings of hangovers.

Trust & Crooks

If we weren’t so trusting
There wouldn’t be so many crooks.

Attitude & Outcome

The means to temper tragedy
And morph defeat into victory
Is with a winning attitude;
The means to amplify tragedy
And morph victory into defeat
Is with a losing attitude.
