Life, Love, and Longings

Life, Love, and Longings

A Poem by BR Chitwood

Short, Tall, Lanky, All Sizes, All Colors,

Males, Females, Cats, Dogs, ‘Beasts of Prey’,

Gays, Straights, Old and Young, All Creatures,

Popes and paupers, have precise engineering

Which allow them to satisfy their needs For Love,

For Hate, For Expression – with different styles and Languages, of course.

There are many Specialists who make it their

Life’s work to journey through knowledge fields

To enlighten our minds with new information…

We are landing on the Moon, entering deeper into

Outer Space, Exploring Mars and other planets

With newer technology, giving the US public new

And promising information…

***

Here on Earth, we live with raw street violence,

Robberies, Murder, wanton terrorism in our cities,

And ‘Politics’ has turned a different scary shade of

Yellow, without sensible leadership, Marxist drivel

Occupying many college campuses…it cannot be

This writer alone seeing our country going to hell

in that ‘proverbial hand-basket’!

****

I am not the smartest ‘ape’ in this jungle but I need this moment to express my concern for our United States of America… In short, we need, badly need, new leadership to restore border law enforcement, to rid our political representatives from receiving big money from ‘K Street operatives. We need a person who cannot be bought…

*****

I'm a young man in an old man's body, trying to catch up to myself, trying to find pieces of me I left back in a disconnected youth and the early years of manhood. I'm a stereotype of many in my generation who can play the 'blame game', yell 'foul', and 'let's start over'. But, we are what we are, the sum of all the scary kid-emotions we experienced, the gin mills and piano bars that became our sandboxes of pleasure - lotus eaters of the best (or, worst) kind, the love affairs that did not quite settle us down, the sad poetry and songs written in bars and motels along the way... A Dreamer! A Wanderlust! The world needs such fools as we to write our books, our poetry, our songs, to offset the madness that plagues the soul. I've written fourteen books, over three hundred blog posts, in search of those pieces left somewhere in many parts of the globe. You can preview my books on the next page. There's even a Blog page...all my posts are not showing on this recently created blog page, but, if you want to read more, go to my official blog site and check out the archives: http://www.thefinalcurtain1 Writing for me is therapy for the soul.
