I'm a diet coke addict and not ashamed of my plight.
I must admit I guzzle each and every morning, noon and night.
Whether via bottle, can or glass I really don't care
As my taste buds are hypnotized by this enchanting fare.
...
My government's problems
are my problems,
But my problems
are not my government's problems.
...
A nation valuing its rights more than its obligations.
A nation valuing high class riches more than middle class wealth
creation.
...
A GLANCE, A SMILE. TO DANCE AWHILE.
A CHANCE TO WEAR SOME SHOES IN STYLE.
BABY’S FIRST TOOTH, AND WORD AND STEP.
FINDING WHERE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES ARE KEPT.
...
Stealth, health and wealth, each a curious breed
Are not such strange bedfellows indeed.
Stealth, with its cunning and mysterious ways,
Escapes notice matter not the attention one pays.
...
It's not possible; things are tough.
I'm not able, not good enough.
My weight's not right and shape's a fright.
Each who passes scorns my sight.
...
When you appear, sunrays brighten my space.
My world is enhanced by your magic grace.
...
My fate can be no crueler,
Now that yesterday’s my ruler:
All due to long past pain
That each day enslaves my brain.
...
Katrina, Katrina we felt your winds blow,
With no idea how your waters would flow.
Now we stand in cities forever downed,
Amid homes and bodies forever drowned.
...
When a youth they said I was uncouth, but they were wrong about me.
The world was in error as I could plainly see.
When I disagreed I did not heed whether friend, teacher or such.
I knew more than they in every way. I was better by so much.
