Short Poems

Vol. 12

By Joseph SeveroPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

“What is great?

What you make, steps you take, help you gave;

Associate - the only way:

What’s even greater?

What is good?

When the people sway and move in unison;

Togetherness does tether best whenever better celebrants of life measure whether empathy attests to the detriment of apathy, neglect:

It always does - it’s best to love.”

- Old Dying Joe

“Let it all come to you;

No fret befalls over the truth;

Indwelling drives will guide you through;

Impelling lives impy the proofs.”

- Old Dying Joe

“Heavenly remedies mend any entropy;

Mentally lending some energy

to end what’s left of the lethargy:

I took on the tendency of doing what’s best for me.”

- Old Dying Joe
