Heart Achingly Beautiful

She was heart achingly beautiful in her youth
and sexy beyond belief, a living dream many
men dreamed of being with.
Now men who see her just see an unappealing
mishapen, sexless old woman, more like a
nightmare than a dream, and none of them
dream of being with her anymore.
Yet, somehow, she doesn’t seem to care
about the loss of her allure, and I don’t know
how she accepts the loss of her beauty
that amazed men all over the world.
It had to be more devastating than losing
a million fortunes in a disastrous day.
Maybe her mind is more beautiful in it’s
own way, and she sees that beauty is
only superficial and a temporary
treasure in this passing existence
and just doesn’t care about it, like all
those foolishly infatuated men did.

No Proof of an Afterlife

No proof of an afterlife exists
according to Scientists, and
I supposed they are right.
But the common threads in
near death experiences
seem as close to proof as
anyone needs for hope in
a continued existence far
from just being eliminated.
They appear as beyond
just having faith in more.
I tend to believe them and
if I’m wrong, I’m okay with
being wrong because when
I’m dead if there’s nothing
I won’t even know it.
I’ll just be dead and free
from worries and concerns.

Fake News

You can’t trust the news anymore.
It’s biased and often untrue.
Whatever happened to objective
journalism and telling the truth?
Sometimes the news lies about
things we see with our own eyes.
They don’t even hide their lies
anymore or think we’re stupid.
How I pine for the days when
news was more objective and
less untrue and blatantly biased.
