The Stellar Student

Posted on by Bob Boyd

He was a stellar student in high school.
He had a bright future,
a rising star, everyone said.
He became the Class Valedictorian,
straight A’s all the way.

He went to a prestigious university,
aced all his studies in his
freshman and sophomore years.

But became radicalized
in his junior year and joined
an anti-American left wing group.

Tried to bomb a police station,
got caught and shot and
mortally wounded.

Died in the ambulance
on the way to the ER,
a rising star burned out
and dead
in the dark night
of his misguided,
radicalized life.

Sweetness Turned Sour

Posted on by Bob Boyd

At first their marriage was
like something out of
a fairy tale.

Until she got bored
a few years later
and began to spend
more time with her
girlfriends then him.

And he began to get
loney and disillusioned
and started going out
with his friends more
and out of sorrow,
loneliness and
drunkenness
he cheated on her.

The marriage fell apart
and he left her.

Surprisingly she wanted
him back again.
But it was too late.
For he knew she
would change for awhile
but go back to her
same old behaviors,
and he was done
with that forever.

The End of the World

Posted on by Bob Boyd

Many have prophesied the end
of the world.
Whether the would be soothsayers
were deluded or a liars,
The results have always been the same.

The sun still rises in the morning sky.
The moon still comes out at night.
The stars still grace the dark nights.
The world and other planets still spin.

So far, millions of years later,
the only predictable thing that keeps ending
is the lives of the false prophets
that keep predicting the end of the world.
