World Gone Mad

World Gone Mad

© by Bud Lemire on May 31, 2020

I don't respect anyone who loots

Nor anyone who kills and shoots

People want to have the power

I am cheering for the flower

Why all the violence here

So much ignorance I fear

When did the people become

So filled with rage and so dumb

So selfish, inconsiderate of others

What does that say of your Mothers

Didn't they teach you better than that

Put away that knife and bat

Riots getting out of hand

All across this great land

I do believe it is a virus there

But not COVID, so please beware

It's making people mad with rage

When they should be in a cage

Peace is what we need on this day

Because what they do, is not Okay

What's going on this world needs to be contained.

It would help if these people who were looting and

killing, had some common sense. But I fear common

sense was lost awhile back, and not sure if they will

ever find it again. While I sit inside my plastic bubble

hearing all about the riots and looting, and wondering

what's become of the world I love.

Uneeka

Across the galaxy, far from planet blue

Is a man, who looks nothing like you

Uneeka, unlike anyone you would know

Because in the dark, he gave off a bright glow

It didn't bother him, that he never needed a light

Others seemed to think, he was just too bright

He could read a book, without turning on a light

Others who came too close, thought it was a fright

One woman, was intrigued by his glow

She loved to watch him, but he never did know

Ungila was beautiful, Uneeka was too shy

So when she came around, he would pass her by

She wanted so much to plant a kiss

Inside she knew it would cause bliss

She wondered how he would react to that

She had to find out where his feelings were at

So, kiss him, she did, while he was feeling low

Brighter than everything, was his glow

He turned to her asking “why did you do this?”

She smiled and replied “You just needed a kiss.”

Uneeka and Ungila lived happily forever. And their days

were never dim. Because Ungila had a glow too. Together

their days were even brighter, because they had each other.

There was never any darkness, because they always saw

everything for what it was, even on the darkest day.

Behind The Walls

Behind The Walls

Behind the walls, is someone you may know

Behind the door, is such a lonely soul

Now more alone, than ever before

Inside the walls, her fear is even more

“Leave me alone COVID19, you don't need me for a snack”

“I'd prefer to go quickly, from a heart attack”

“I don't need to suffer, with what you want to give”

“Because what you offer, is no way to live”

“Go back to where you started, leave me alone”

“Just disappear, or turn into a stone”

“My life was good, before you came along”

“Now it feels, that everything seems wrong”

“It's all your fault,yes, you are to blame”

“Killing off the humans, is your only aim”

“You don't belong in this world, killing is a crime”

“Leave me alone, because I don't have much time”

“I don't have the strength, to put up a fight”

“It's not fair for you to pick on me, it's just not right”

“Behind the door, I am a lonely soul”

“Behind these walls, I'm someone you might know”

I think about those much older, and are going through

so much more than what us normal people do. If we

are scared, just think about how they are feeling about

it all. Give them a call, or stop by and see if they need

anything. They need more support than ever, in these

COVID19 daze.
