Rubber Ducky Poetry Hour

Standing out under the sun
Thrusting my hands up
Giving a little prayer to the Sun God
My feet start to move
Dancing around as He fills me full of life
Sparks come from my finger tips
As I spin and dance wildly
Loving life and loving all around me
A spark leaps from me to you
Then you start to smile and dance
Laughing and twirling as sparks fly off of you
The spark of life leaps from you to another
And to another, til it takes over the whole world
It starts with one.. one smile, one dance step
Spreads like wildfire across the planet
Help me carry the spark of life to cover the globe
To share the Love and Peace I feel at the touch of the Sun
The Sun the giver of warmth, the giver of life on a cold winters day
Come lets celebrate that the Sun rotates our fair Earth and be thankful

Abandoned this building
We humans have crafted
From brick, from wood

We rip the resources from the Earth
We mold it to what we want
We use it for a time

Then we abandon it
To be reclaimed by the Earth again
A new home for the wild

The plants move in first
Growing up the walls
A tree sprouts in the middle of a room

The mice and rats come next
Making homes in the desks
Using the random cloth left behind for nests

Then come the cats
Hunting for the mice and rats
And maybe a dry place to stay awhile

Yes Mother Earth has reclaimed
What we have abandoned
And made it beautiful again.

Black and white
That is all you see
The gray is invisible
To your naked eye

Your way or the highway
So you say
But honey, take a step back
The world is changing

Open your eyes
See what is truly there
The future is before you
The world is changing with or without you

You don't have to like
Truly you don't have to accept it
But at the very least respect it
Or in the end you just screw yourself

I sit here, letting my mind wander
Meander, drift, and roam all over
These thoughts of mine keep coming back
To one thing of great importance

The blessings of my life
I have the usual of course
The roof over my head
And the food in my stomach

But I have blessings of the heart
I have blessings of the mind
I have blessings of the soul
I am blessed in so many ways

Peace in my heart
Peace of mind
Peace in my soul
I feel complete

Love filling my heart
Love spilling from my mind
Love surrounding my soul
I am complete

My heart one with all around
My mind hearing what the Earth has to say
My soul connected to every soul out there
We are One and We are complete

We are blessed
Be thankful
Touch another's soul
Share the joy

Who are you?
Before this storm moved in
Causing so much destruction and grief
You were just like everyone else

Concerned about your parties
Selfish to the core
It is great that you see the the suffering
Around you and feel compelled to help

But darling you aren't Mother Teresa
You aren't better then anyone else
Not everyone can deal with the pain and agony they see
Stop being mad at the people who cannot cope

Forgive them and pity them
For they are unable to have compassion
For any other then themselves
Forgive them and pray for them

Give them an example of how to be
Maybe they will learn from your caring nature
But if all you express is your anger at their lack
They won't learn anything but a more negative nature

Lead by example
Love with all your being
Forgive with all your heart
And do the best you can no matter what others do

What we once were
Is no more
Through the fault
Of you and me

Our harsh and cruel words
Have driven a wedge
Down the middle of us
Time to part and go our separate ways

But we persist and hold on
Those cruel words continue
I still call you when I have a problem
As a matter of fact, I have you on speed dial

Speed dial exes
Those we should give up
Those we should let go
I know I should move on, but alas I cannot

Speed dial exes
I should tell you to go
I should tell you it is time to move on
But I don't for fear that you might forget me

My speed dial ex
Come save me
From myself yet again
Because apparently I cannot save myself

Have I really become this
This creature so lacking in self confidence
This creature so lacking in self respect
Time for me to delete my speed dial ex

We are Democrats
We are Republicans
We are Citizens
We are Americans

Black or White
Gay or Straight
Christian or Muslim
We are Americans

No one can take that from us
No one can take our rights from us
But for those we allow
For we are Americans

We fight for our rights
Right of Freedom and Happiness
We fight to help others to achieve these rights
As they are Human Rights

Lets not be divided by our politics
Lets not be little red and blue states
For we are more as our President says
For we are Americans

We are Americans
We are One
Lets show the world the power we can be
For we are AMERICANS!
