Day: December 31, 2024

Nights and days grow shorter.
Weeks and years fly by.
And more and more
you become aware
of your fleeting mortality.
You read about celebrities
you knew all your life
dying in the news almost daily.
Friends begin dying as well.
And more and more
you become aware
of your fleeting mortality
until you are dead too.

Too many young women get murdered
all over this unpredictable world.
I see this on true crime shows.
I read about it in the news.
The numbers are shocking.
It’s all tragically sad
Lives ended far too soon.
Killed by people they knew.
Killed by strangers.
Killed by serial killers.
Too many young women
dead in the ground.
If there’s a God above,
and if like a song says
He’s in control,
I have wonder how He can
let so many young women
get murdered all over the world.

Bob Boyd

A children’s entertainment company is in the hopper
can’t trust them to provide
clean children’s entertainment anymore.

Ruined their brand with inappropriate
shows and cartoons for kids.

Dying like the dinosaurs, going extinct,
and gasping out lousy programs
in futile attempts to remain alive.
