Day: December 9, 2024

the seasons keep changing
and so do I

I went from the bright springtime of my life
into a warm and golden summer

I barely made it through the windy fall
with a cancer intent on killing me

now I’m in the cold winter of my life
with death approaching like the
stagnating ice and falling snow.

This life is so hard and so unfair for some people:
a baby born with cancer –
a girl born disabled –
a boy born fated to become bipolar –
a baby dumped in a dumpster –
a brilliant young woman murdered by a serial killer –
a teenage boy killed by a drunken driver –
a little girl kidnapped into prostitution.

The list goes on and on and on and on
and continues and continues and continues.
Why God Almighty does life have to be
like this for so unfortunate many?

Bob Boyd

a valedictorian in high school, he had
enormous potential for a phenomenal future.

he got accepted at three ivy league schools
and decided to attend princeton.

he got involved with the wrong people there
and became brainwashed and radicalized.

he participated in many protests for many causes
and became a celeb among his radical peers.

eventually he and his cohorts concocted a deadly plan
to assassinate a notoriously conservative president.

he volunteered to pull the trigger and end the president he hated
and go down in history books as a savior of his country.

on the designated day, he put a scarf over most of his face and concealed his gun
underneath a thick woolen jacket.

when he saw his target and his chance to kill him with a clear shot,
he pulled out the gun, took aim, pulled the trigger and missed

and six perfect shoots from the president secret service agents ended
his life, and his enormous potential for a brilliant future

was gone forever thanks to the ivy league college radicalization
and his being destructively brainwashed by it.
