The Constant Battle
cruel people and life will always
bring us incredible challenges
trying to prevent us from thriving
even just surviving sometimes
people must stand up for what they believe in
each individual has to have the courage
the passion, and the knowledge
of how to address what is wrong in this world
so when bad things happen
by evil people who exist
we can’t let ourselves be steamrolled by them
life is just too short, and there’s still much worth living for
Oh, Oh
no words were necessary
her face boldly vocal
the displeasure evident
the emotions experienced
nestle behind her squinted eyes
and crease deep lines on her face
quick, change your tune
lest she opens her mouth
to release her disgust
and tread lightly for a bit…
Disputes
let’s be mindful
stop all this judging
cool heads prevailing is an art
be still, be in the moment
as if on film, act right
demonstrable like a slight breeze
but wire your jaw shut if need be
leave your opponent with a puzzle
rather than let your mouth betray you
blinders are not needed, but filters are
let your mind rationally come to the table
before you end up on the ground
Dominance
establish power
fighting the establishment
secure your future
Battles
Redux
Conflict erupts, yet again. Respond or slink away?
If I stay, I face the cacophony of fieriness; I put myself in danger of being wounded.
Leave, and I’m embarrassed that I didn’t defend myself.
It’s a lose/lose scenario.
How do I represent? Why do I care? What do I gain and what is at stake?
All thoughts are firing amidst the chaos playing out in front of me. WHAT DO I DO??
The internal struggle dominates in this external battle, this the more pressing issue.
The voice deep within gets louder. “WHAT DO I DO?!?!”
I hesitate, I’m crushed.
I match the tone, I’m angrier.
I fear, I lose.
The indecision is killing me. Thebest of us dies too.
I bloody my world.
I feel red.
It’s the anger at myself, and others who put me into the mode of having to figure it out.
I see…

Warrior
every day challenges us to the good fight
for friends, for family, the world and for me
this reality needs coddling
daily righting wrongs
our existence depends on it
for that, i am a warrior
… albeit, sometimes a tired one
If You Must…
There’s honor in a fair fight.
Relations
anger flairs again
tears are rolling down my face
time changes nothing
could you abandon your ways
will I realize my part
tears are rolling down my face
time changes nothing
could you abandon your ways

Teaching Moments
it’s annoying
and disappointing
you vow one thing
and do another
where is the care
you promised
i count on it
only to be let down
i gave you
too much credit
trusting you
to do your one job
fulfilling the deed
you signed up for
i should be able
to believe you’d deliver
“My word is my bond!” you said
that commitment
was and is
bullshit
things get
out of hand
you expect me
to pick up the pieces
like i always do
like an obedient servant
dutifully
avoiding defeat
but in the end
i
take the hit
this party’s over
