Speaking well of the dead

I never want to be that person who waits until someone has passed to start speaking well about them, or treating them nice

Big talk

after my passing

I do not want

say what you want to say

to my face

don't wait

till I  am gone

without a trace

furthermore

say nothing to me

say nothing of your feelings

show me by your actions

let it be apparent for all to see

let my heart be filled with your love

do not let me leave

until you are sure

I understand I am loved

evermore

Mornings don't really excite me

#207 Each Morning

Each morning

when I rise

I am grateful

that I am here

to see another day

I rise with anticipation

in awe of what the day may bring

I think of those who are not with us

reflect on what they may have done with this day

I hope I am not wasting my day

so I jump up

refusing to snooze any longer

I am grateful

for the opportunities

this day will bring

each morning

when I rise !

Helping others whilst helping yourself

whatever you do for someone is between you and that person.  Why do some people find it necessary to annouce all their good deeds, exposing that persons current predicament. which maybe they do not want broadcasted

Do we do things for others coz it makes us feel good or do we do things that just benefit the other person, because it is the right thing to do

#208 Noisy Workers

A midst this confusion

and the noise we accept

as a working city

the louder it is the more work is being done

how about those who go about silently

with no accalaid

that this noise brings

some need the noise to continue on

others work in silence

they say empty barrels make most noise

who shouts the loudest deserve to be listened to

how about those who speak quietly

move silently

is their work not valid

are they not counted

I know I would rather move silently

a midst the confusion

we accept to be a working city

Equality Overdue

  Just watched 15 minutes of 'The March'.  I grabbed my remote pressed record that's all I could do.  I couldn't move I was transfixed to screen.  I've had heard about the march I have seen clips of the march.  I was astounded by the sheer volume of people there who were truly integrated, they showed a water fountain where you saw black and white people drinking from the same fountain. powerful.  

Best thing I have seen on tv for a  long time.  totally inspiring.  


prompted me to write this.

 #209 Equality Overdue

They owe me

they owe us all

for the equality

that is overdue

forced

to treat

me different from you

if I was taken on my merit

where will I be ?

what could I achieve ?

I will live her life

while she looks at me

5o years ago he had a dream

the dream is still not realised

I am sad to console

all those who were there

who marched

and walked

who made their voices clear

everyone had something to say

it is as if there never was that day

did it happen?

did it really occur?

all that they wanted

is still wanting

this is 50 years on

equality is still haunting
