Karen On Her Mind Poem by Richard Wlodarski

Laughing in spite of tears of pain
Tasting life in spite of disdain
Painting landscapes of the mind
Searching for what's hard to find

Drawing on strength for mind and body
Walking the road of soulful loneliness
Dancing the night away to Let It Be
Crying tears of joy nonetheless

More human than man or woman
Less threatening than maddening of the mind
Humane time and again yeah man
Karen is the caring of the human kind

She cries for she is only human
She laughs for comedy in her men
She's scared because life's a bitch
She's alive not in the ditch

She's Karen on their mind
Every souls' hard to find
A creature of earthly divine
Her heart so classically fine

She wakes experiencing life
Last night's dreams in so much strife
A glass of water helps her breathe
Fighting off cancer that's beneath

She struggles eating her poor lunch
Remembering she's in the crunch
She smiles as she cries out for God
Waiting for Him to give her the nod

Her legs finding small steps to take
Her mind focused on what's to make
Karen on her mind
In this shitty find

Her eyes now seeing the eternal light
Her ears hearing music that's so bright
Her nose smelling much longer living
In yesterday's and today's striving

Souls searching only to be kind
In lives that have been in a bind
Mother's lost and find
Karen on her mind
