Jeff Rushton Poems

The matter unused, unneeded, or displaced from consumption

Aggression, digression, pain, suppression, retention, sadness, remorse, discomfort, distort, regret, and a feeling of debt comprise a small number of the human excrements.

There is a spirit in every creation of Gods hand
A spirit is increased by obedience and observance to God's plan.
Man is the only spirit that varies in such a sporadic and energetic way,
Only he can determine and define his stay
...

Parents have sacrificed greatly in these days
In sacrificing self for the betterment of the children
Many parents have sacrificed their children in providing for them
Childhood is for education appreciation, respect, admiration, concentration
...

The beauty that lies within
Through the doors
Through the walls
Through the sorrow and falls
...

Feeling as though I have committed a sin
Nothing done wrong

Good byes are an easy thing
...

Why the opacity in your eyes
Why the cover or blanket over the reality of your other
Why the lie to every other in your jest or hope for cover
Why the hope and want to be another
...

I gave up what is real

Gone is the nearby love
Gone is being in-love, happiness
...

We will slow as the lights flash on the side of the road
Yet, we go on living our lives in just the same position as those suffering
Just no blood, physical pain, or temporal destruction
Just as tragic, more drastic, less magic for others to watch
...

Not in the past
In making it last

The past leaves when all thoughts, actions, reactions and distractions of it
...

What is your distance of vision
Have you clouded your life with unnecessary white
Have you fogged up your site with precipitous plight
Have you smogged your existence with harmful pollutants
...
