~ A Human Writes/Rights Journey! ~

There’s always more to write

About our rights,

I mean, what is right, after all?

As the pages turn

A new lease on life is there,

In all the words & imagination

Creativity lays

To the page(s),

Whether with words or another form of art

It’s what fuels us,

Keeps us going from start to finish.

Without this ability to express

Unload or explode in this way,

How does one replenish

How does one reload?

To be prepared for the next round

Of drama and grenades?

It’s necessary for us

To be,

‘Some Kind of Able’

For each new day.

We must be sharp

And ready, like a balloon dart!

To get past the obstacles

In our way,

Day by day!

There’s always a need to escape,

The irony of the cruelty of all things

Unfair!

So, write I will, create ‘we’ must

Until we take our last breath,

And our bodies

Return to dust!

How do people live without a way

To unload, their journey

Along the way?

I can only imagine,

All the images

Thoughts, sounds, words,

Muddled up

In their hearts and minds,

Whirring around

With no place to go…

Of course, it’s common sense

That it would lead to decay

Of our Society,

Sickness and disease!

We are made to feel

And live,

In all the colors

That can be made.

My heart is now gloomy

Like a rainy cloud, over me

For it’s not enough to just write,

These words

It doesn’t take the inequality

Of the situation,

Out of the equation…

It simply puts

‘My’ thoughts at Bay!

But surely as I live, love and breathe

I’m grateful I can pick a pen

‘UP,’

In my hand

And write down what I want,

My soul’s demands

Letting out what’s driving ‘Me Mad!’

A Human

Writes/Rights,

Journey!

Written by,

Jennife Cooley!
