people bragging about things
that used to be embarrassments
that they used to be ashamed of

people awarded with some fame
for classless and indecent acts
few awarded with some fame
for noble and gracious acts

in this ever spinning world
many are out of orbit with
what used to be decency

happy to hang up my hat
on this dying life that is mine
at this temporary moment
with the expiring breaths
and the failing heart beats
will recap in a new world
of afterlife light and love
adios to impermanence
hello to permanent eternity

bob boyd

drifting through this life
found some purpose
had some successes
made many mistakes
high times and low times
happy times and sad times

could have done better
foolishly rebellious
in his wayward youth
missed opportunities
damaged reputation
screwed up choices
many hard knocks
by the end of his life
straightened out
helped countless others

I thought multiculturalism was great
until I realized it’s not so great if
if you let people into your country
who disagree with your politics
and refuse to assimilate peacefully
who desire to bring you down
who establish their own countries
within your country’s borders
and hate your country and you

Bob Boyd

One world government
All world loses
Your country’s hands
in one biased entity
that may not have
your country’s welfare
in their indifferent
power hungry hands
The EU is the example
bureaucrats forcing
countries to fall in
line with whatever
they demand regardless
if it’s destructive to you

Bob Boyd

Through many loves
and some marriages
lasting love eluded him,
like a bird fleeing a feline,
like a felon fleeing a fed.

Just when it seemed he’d
found true and lasting love,
like a mirage sooner or
later it had vanished.

Steadfastly he tried again
and again and again
but like a will-o’-the-wisp
it faded away and vanished
in the sobering day of
yet another forlorn love.

Bob Boyd
