annoyed by recent events

where’s the common sense

so much harried flurry

our thoughts paled and blurry

hapless sheeple follow the parade

so proud of their masquerade

they hide behind masked faces

too intoxicated to play their aces

they’re no names but play the game

wondering where to lay the blame

the playground bully is an adult

a doyen of the word insult

time’s up, let’s clink cups

and chinwag about wazzup

into, onto, about fake news

life’s short dance for those accused

seems mindfulness a lost art

life’s a gamble served à la carte

A gander at me –
I enjoyed a dedicated career in the insurance industry for over 20 years being rewarded both professionally and personally. Now it’s time for me to follow my dreams by doing things I enjoy…spending time with family, learning, sharing, traveling, writing poetry and encouraging others to pursue their goals.

A throwback to my Tuesday Chatter series, since retired.
