I'm an owl minding my own biz,
Flying o'er a meadow, and see
This human guy below. He is
A bunch of flowers cutting be,
...
'Infidels' did carve up the land,
Including what became Iraq.
And mostly blood has drenched the sand,
As cultures fight to take time back.
...
I am called Wisdom and I be
The oldest wild bird that be known.
1951 - who hatched? Me!
Over three million miles I've flown.
...
Sitting alone on a bench, I
Waited for the bus now quite late.
Every few minutes I would sigh,
Bemoaning my unlucky fate.
...
I watch my comrades one by one,
Leaves leaving the limbs we have known.
Our season's over and done.
I take this last trip of my own,
...
During each day I try to find
Some time and place to sit in peace,
Empty the clutter from my mind,
Let ills temporarily cease,
...
I am a leaf that came in spring,
And take my place with many more.
It is just a natural thing.
But there are times I've yearning for
...
In my old age I like to take
A tub bath long and leisurely.
A special wall rack I did make
For liquors and mixes to be.
...
I went to a Starbucks and did
Order some coffee which I got.
Walking away, off popped the lid.
I felt pain from spilt coffee hot.
