Good write H.
A corny joke about time: I took so long finding out what \'Carpe Diem\' meant, that when I had found out, there was no more day left to seize. It was night. Who put the lights out?! Doh! lol.

Seems so, at some times and in some situations.
Not me though, I said, as I trampled over everyone in the rat-race to get to the top of the ladder! Heehee, not really!

Play fair

Thanx, O. I, too, am a so so amateur singer. I\'ve given over 3,000 shows at nursing homes over the last 30 years up until COVID. I have a youtube channel with over 1,100 songs. If you like to visit just put my name, Howard Zugman, in the youtube search line and click on the picture of me and my deceased wife\'s picture It\'ll have a sample of the songs. And thanx for the comment.

Focus, focus, focus
L. B. Mek said:
so true, dear poet
in most cases, keeping it simple
yields greater rewards..
(wise words)
when we overthink, we complicate
ergo
to demystify our chaotic lives
we need only
keep in mind, one prize at a time...

Face it
hzugman said:
Hi L. B.
I appreciate the time and thought that your put into your response. (I read your comment twice.) Truly poems can be interpreted in many different ways and to be interpreted at all is a compliment.

Face it
L. B. Mek said:
problem is, dear poet
as a consequence of modernity\'s progression
\'seating on the bleachers\'
is becoming a viable option for far too many
and thus, rather than be inspired by your wise, challenging words
purposed to be engaging and inspire
I fear majority, will read them as reinforcement
for their choice to withdraw themselves
from society\'s battle fields
but you see
having a customised utopian-like
self-secluding civilisation
devoid of fighting mentality\'s
is all fine, until
fate, plants an invasion army
at our gates
and then our collective option
would be to open and submit
without even challenging our leadership\'s decisions;
maybe
something like being caged in our
homes for two and a half years
on the premise of a virus
that more than half the world withstood
without barely pausing
to acknowledge its impact
let alone four rounds of enforced injections...
and watching-on as the world
says nothing about its origins
or any action taken to prevent it
from happening again?!
(well that or all-out anarchy
insuring we make those dystopian
movies
a reality)
So yes
\'Face it\' is a great message
sadly, I fear its true message will be lost
to modernity\'s, trepidation seeped translations
(forgive me for my lengthy words
I lack the intellect to refine my thoughts succinctly like you do)
thanks for sharing

Why get angry?
mvvenkataraman said:
When we delay anger is lost,
The poem tells that clearly,
These four lines admonish
To quit anger via calmness!
