journey to work(a poem)

edited June 2005 in General Banter
Hi,
I got inspired the other day to actually write down my thoughts on the different sights I see on my way to the hospital that I work at.
and LOL I haven't wrote a poem for 20+ years but here goes...

Another day's dawn I cross the lake
Windows down to catch breeze
College rowers in the distance
Gliding gracefully across as one

I take a deep breath
and let out a smiling sigh
"May peace be with all"

Past by group of women at bus stop
Wearing pretty chiffon Hijabs
Wait at light near men sparring in gym
Rap music flows out from within

I take a deep breath
and let out a smiling sigh
"May peace be with all"

Vendor carts on each corner
Get your lattes,mochas and chai teas
Downtrodden man holding sign
Homeless Vet. need money and god bless

I take a deep breath
and let out a smiling sigh
"May peace be with all"

Bullet helmets zoom on by
Cyclists on an adrenaline high
Dreadlocks skaters on last corner
Working on their bigspin kickflips

I take a deep breath
and let out a smiling sigh
"May peace be with all"

Up the hill walking by
Couple in garden doing tai chi
Fellow workers seeking parking
Ready for another working day

I take a deep breath
and let out a smiling sigh
"May peace be with all"

Here at last to start my day
to touch all with a smile of peace
for this place we share the joy
and try to ease the sorrowing pain.

And so ....
I take a deep breath
And let out a smiling sigh
"May peace be with all"

    i thought id take this opprotunity to post some of my poetry.. i.e. get banned or have my post deleted :D :

    i get some money in my hand
    damn, its more then i need
    ive allready got what i want
    wait no, what about weed
    shit my bags down to crumbs
    i gotta make a hookup
    to get the mad cron
    and chill and toke up
    so i throw on my shoes
    grab the cash and run
    gotta get to my dealers house
    before his bags done
    i come knockin on his door
    he says yo what do ya need
    i say whats up man
    i got the need for weed
    so i step into his pad
    waitin for my dope
    he gives me a fat sac
    now ya know im glad
    of some ripper chronic
    i say thanks bro and jet
    faster then sonic
    back to my house
    where i bust it up
    i roll a fat jay and
    fire it up
    one hit
    two hits
    half a dubie
    now im feelin great
    in a dreamy mind
    some high state

    Well Indecline your poem has not been deleted...LOL thank you for sharing it!
    I recall those days way,way back then weed was the only thing that got me through the day.
    But that was over 25 years ago.
    I don't always have great spirit for work but found that chanting "may peace be with all"on my drive helps for a better mood for work.

    Actually, BSF, if you re-read the post, i think you'll find that I was merely enquiring whether you wanted to place a small wager. I personally never gamble. I do however take an uncalculated risk and put my head on the block by being a pedantic Little Miss Smart-Ass....!! :lol:

    Is "whatever gets you through he night" skillful or unskillful in and of itself?

    heres more:


    welcome to your tv dream
    the golden age of extremes
    wants are endless soon youll see
    your whole life is vainity

    immitate what they simulate
    its your mind you masturbate
    build up hopes beyond your reach
    in god we trust they will preach

    soon youll see its captivity
    they claim you to be free
    yet you slave for your country
    youre all still pheasants
    as far as i can see

    the modern day knight
    fight the good fight
    feed your wants
    your wants are greed

    its allready too late
    youve allready decided your fate
    im not trying to be pessimistic
    im trying to be honest

    but dont take my word for it
    who am i to tell
    we are the gods of this shit...
    we are the gods of this shit!
    welcome to our hell!!
