The world as I know it
A world where the sun doesn’t shine
HAS IT ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS?
CHILDREN IN CAGES, MEN IN RAGES. WOMEN. WOMEN HAVE BIRTHED US ALL. YET THEY ARE TREATED LIKE AN ORPHAN WITH NO MOTHER.
MOTHER. MOTHER EARTH. MOST NEGLECTED AND DISRESPECTED. SHE BROUGHT US ALL INTO THIS WORLD AND CAN TAKE US ALL OUT. WILL SHE?
THIS WORLD, OUR WORLD, FULL OF GREED. THIS MONEY SYSTEM IS MADE UP LIKE A GAME AND WE ALL JUST PLAY ALONG LIKE WE ARE HAVING A GOOD TIME. AFRAID TO LOOK LIKE A SORE LOSER, WE PUT A SMILE ON OUR FACE AND KEEP PLAYING, EVEN WHEN THE ODDS ARE NOT IN OUR FAVOR. WHY?
HAS IT ALWAYS BEEN THIS WAY?

After the Storm
After the storm of winter snow there sat a small bear by the name Ted, of course. He loves the snow and likes to roll around in it making all sorts of trails and whatever he has a mind to do. He wondered where all the people are, but in a way, he is hoping that they are all snug in the homes maybe drinking hot chocolate-one of his favorite drinks with mini-marshmallows and eating something homemade for he likes this winter wonderland all to himself to romp and play and maybe even catch some fish down by the river.
