Air
Friends Come and Friends Go
by Aileen McPherson
by Deadpool
We all need to breathe, with a beautiful
Gaseous mixture surrounding our earth, our home, sustaining life.
So, why is it we have airheads, who think
It’s a waste of time and resources, to
Maintain and restore the quality of the atmosphere
When no such problem exists.
We, humanity, caused this infraction upon our
Planet, the Industrial Age kicked it into
Full tilt, and we’ve proliferated the problem since.
Those of science viewed the shame, while they
Studied ways to reclaim, rebuild, and restore •
Needed oxygen bodies demand.
Rebuking politicians forthright for little to no
Action taken, with evidence critical, these
knowledgable beings made clear, just how
Irreparable this problem will be in just a few years,
While continued neglect will cause exponential irrevocable damage,
Now please remember we have only
One planet.
Friends come and friends go
Sometimes to stay for a while and
Sometimes to stay forever.
They make an impact in your life
Whether good or bad
But even though they may not stay long
It’s still sad to see them go.
It hurts to lose a friend even
If they’re in your life for a week
But even more so if they are in your life longer
You don’t want them to leave but sometimes
You have to let go and move on.
You will not let them go from
Your heart 'cause they take a special
Place in your heart.
Even though they are
Gone and will be missed
They won’t be forgotten,
Missed but no less loved.
So to all the friends that have gone,
You will be missed
Always.
Some will say: Our politicians are first rate they’re
Fixing our world, making it great again. Really
At what cost, to what end, or merely lip service,
While saving face yet again.
When will the consumption lies end?
Need help getting health care?
