As Usual

I did say I was going to finish the presentation I was preparing (you can hear it; here it comes), BUT as I continued more ideas came to mind and now i have close to 45 slides in the presentation. Shee, these people will suffer!!! (Laughingly) Not really. There are some interesting aspects to it, plus, it is in two parts. Of course, the Item 13. I am digging through my old things and unearthing poems and things I wrote in basic school, high school and college. I will be posting those I find that are appropriate to post.
Stay in touch.

Advanced Procrastination

I got up this morning all gingered up for the day. After making sure everything was working as it should, I settled down to finish the slideshow I have to present early next month. Somehow I got sidetracked and I lost my train of thought. Oh my. So I decided to write an article about plastic waste management that will be posted on another blog. I am almost done with that. I guess this means I find the article more interesting than the presentation. Maybe. Or I am stretching out the completion of the presentation because it is something I can use about a hour to finish?, and that is not far from the truth. So tomorrow, I am going to totally focus on the presentation and finish it, like I meant to do today. Fingers crossed. When I am done, I will be in a better frame of mind to finish up with that long overdue documentation I am working on and then hasta la vista.

That Thing

Took a while
But I finally gathered the courage
To tell you what it is about you
That drives people away
I told you last night

Made sure there was no one around
No one to be witness to any embarrassment
And after some hesitation
I said it
The thing that drives people away

People have remarked on it
And though I do not know you that well
I have been asked by others to have a chat with you
I waited
I thought hard and long
Hoping you will heed my little promptings
But you were blind to it
The thing that drives people away

I told you
I said it last night
You made as if you understood
That you were aware
Of the thing that drives people away

Today is a new day
A change to take place
Nothing
I thought you understood
I am not the only one who has noticed
It was for your good and everybody's when I told you
About the thing that drives people away

Earth Mother

Out of me
I sprung you forth
And as a good mother
I nourished you


I slowly churn your excess
Taking it back to myself
I give to you expecting not too much
Respect thats all I ask

All you do is take, take, take
And I give, give, give
Till I can no more
My churning is slower than your taking

I am drying up
Listen to me, child!
I am drying up
My belly is quaking
My eyes are welling
My heart is burning
Listen! child,
Heed my warning

Stop Pushing!!!

If it is meant to be
It will happen
Stop explaining yourself incessantly
Silence works when words cease
Stop pushing!
And let the chips fall where they may.

I Choose You

Why do you find it so hard to believe
That out of the crowd I Choose You
With your jovial countenance and unserious attitude
That I did?
I Choose You

Why must I keep reassuring you?
It is getting pretty tiring
Just accept it
Out of the crowd
I Choose You

Go to bed

Y'all, go to bed!
I will be counting the stars
They seem to want to say something

Will tell you what is revealed
But first, go to bed
While I decipher
