Blame it on God

When something goes wrong
blame it on God.
When something goes right
blame it in God.
When a baby is born
blame it on God.
When a loved one dies
blame it on God.

Blame it on God

blame it on God.

Some of us get God
the rest of us get Cake.

The Craft

Tears well
followed by
a deep breath,
sadness
is a fine art,
and I’m still
after all these years
developing the craft.

The Happy People

Here’s to the
sad ones.

We feel
your pain,

we just choose
not to share it.

Sincerely,
the happy people.

P.S.
There is beauty in our sadness.

The Sad Ones

Here’s to the
happy people.

We can see
your sadness,

and we’re
with you.

Sincerely,
the sad ones.

P.S.
Happy New Year!

Yea, that’s a fucking excellent idea

If
Americans
put
half as much
attention
into
Americas
actual problems
as this
Sesame Steet Grover
nonesense,
we
the people
might actually
be headed
somewhere,
but
America
you never cease to amaze me.

Better Tomorrows

When
every
little
thing
is
on
your mind,

nothing
of
value
really
comes
to
mind,

like
twittling
two
thumbs,
sometimes
nothing
days

make for better tomorrows.

Another word to an unborn son

Some day
out of nowhere
your mood
will shift
from one hundred percent
to zero,

and you will feel sad

and you will feel weak

and you will feel vulnerable,

and that’s good
that’s natural
that’s life,
so get used to it,
it’s a beautiful thing
even when it hurts most.

Food for thought

The food.

The food.

Everybody’s so worried about the food.

It has to be hot.
It has to be ready.

Is there enough?

If only he opened his heart as much as his mouth,

she might have stayed.

The Hardest Part

I
miss
everything
and
nothing
about
you

and
most
times
that’s
the
hardest
part.

Happiness & Love

Happiness
& Love
killed
the poem.
As
for
the poet,
he lived
mourned his loss
then learned to love again.
