Gregory Huyette Poems

Mediation is a monster when maliciously misused,
Devouring good but weak who are sadly confused.
If mediators have agendas or favor either side,
Their use in any negotiations must be disqualified.
...

Insecurity, insecurity you won’t guide my life
As a dominating husband or ever nagging wife.
As my child I’ll not allow you to rudely interfere,
Reversing my role as parent hoping you’ll stay near.
...

Opportunity knocked but I was always satisfied with second best.

My pitiful self told me I wasn't as good as many of the rest.
...

Oh Mother Dear it doesn't seem fair
That we're still down here and you're way up there.
Another thing that's not a favorite of mine
Is that chronologically I seem to be next in line.
...

When we met my heart told my brain.

That I must remember that deep refrain.

One that would form my whole life

By asking that little girl to be my wife.
...

A girl is a very complicated machine

With moods ranging from smile to shout.
...

Be happy that you have another day

To enjoy all your treasures and say,
...

The world is ruled by law and in a way that's so very sad.

It's not a matter of what's right or wrong or good or bad.
...

When Executive, Legislative and Judicial fail, it becomes official;

The trail is then determined by the people in the streets,
...

How often do words get in the way,
And not express things we want to say?
Once spoken, words can't be reclaimed
So be careful where they're aimed.
...
