Things We Do

Jerry Reynolds

 

Things that people do
Everything they do
Is for power, glory,
Achievement or love
Or a combination
From the above.

    I really like this! You have inspired me to try writing something shorter next time. Nice style! X

    Good write Jerry.

  • Doggerel Dave

    Got those bases covered, Jerry.
    Any date time and place re the picture?

  • FredPeyer

    I agree with you, Dave. But I think we might add 'fear' as another motivator.

    • FredPeyer

      Sorry Jerry, got the name wrong!

      • Jerry Reynolds

        Thanks, Fred.

          that wisdom of capitalism, at its very best representation:
          'I'm a get minez'
          'y'all just do you'..
          behold: that inevitable 'we' that results, where everyone just grabs blindly..
          (and that foolish keyboard armed: 'woke' soldier, begins to type
          'so is u wanti'n marxism two prevail, then - eh, eh?')
          lol...
          this is why its so much easier to exist as one of Bukowski's 'genius crowd'..
          just drape
          'ignorance over our awareness' and continue to survive, hoping - someone with actual intellect will come-by
          with our answers

          True enough!
