Suppose the claims of life beyond death
are all imaginary and dead is just dead.
As for me, I am perfectly fine with that;
no problems, no sorrows, no torments,
the cessation of all suffering, and no
me to worry about just being dead.
As for me, I am perfectly fine with that.
And I’ve lived a long enough life.

Bob Boyd

He has asked her to marry him.
Happily she accepted his proposal.
When they were engaged for a month,
she became chronically ill.
He told her it didn’t matter,
his love for her would never die.
But a year later, he left her for
a healthy woman.
After days of torrents of tears,
she adapted to the unexpected loss.
She replaced her love for a faithless man
with love for a forever faithful God.

Bob Boyd

Most are born healthy
some are born sick
some are born beautiful
most are not
some are born into wealth
most are not
some are born poor
many are fated with misfortune
some are fated to be murdered
some live nearly untroubled lives
why this universal inequality
why not universal equality
some say it’s karma
some say it’s random
whatever the reason
why this disparity
maybe it all equals out
in the afterlife

Bob Boyd

I love the underdogs
those that there’s no hope for
the thought to be perennial losers
the seeming never do wells
who utterly surprise everyone
when they triumph in amazing
never expected ways

like a loser who becomes a winner
like a coward who becomes a hero
and oh how I love it when I see
them in movies and in real life
hail to the triumphant underdogs
my all time favorites in this world

Bob Boyd
