So Much More

A.H. Browning




This crisis, that crisis
Take your bloody pick

My unquiet, troubled mind
Is now beginning to itch

The “good old days”
Well, they never existed
Cause we’re often unhappy
Unless everything’s twisted


I turn on the news
For my daily big dose
Of life without light
And existence without hope
Encouraged to be fearful
And reluctant to give
How the hell did I forget

That we were all meant to live


For so much more

  • Comment from author about the poem: This is a slight departure from my normal writing, but I feel very strongly that we are all meant to live for more than what the world tries to take from us or tries to impose on each of us. Our situations and circumstances might be very different but I think we can all understand this. Having said that, my desire is that we can all live fearlessly, prevail in hardship, struggling or loss and live completely for SO much more! Hope. Dream. Love. Live life fully. Never give up.

    The news is so very negative … I never listen to it . It can just make you anxious I guess and who needs that ?

    It’s ok to be aware of things, Sometimes

    A good poem )

    • A.H. Browning

      You are right. The news is often always very negative these days.
      I appreciate you taking the time to read and comment. Thank you for that 👍

      Your words well nail the situation today friend -as "life without light" - agree too that daily news encourages such fear that many now choose to put Hope in first place again -- - -thanks for this powerful reminder.

        Thank you Fay for reading and your comments. I was sleepless last night so I decided to write something I was thinking about. It was short and to the point. After writing, I did find sleep 👍
        May you live fearlessly and have “so much more”.
        Kindest Regards.

        Have to fly like an eagle in our own direction .... the News is all about people who want power mostly and they don't know how to live, only how to manipulate. Putting most of them on mute renders them impotent. I wonder what they will think about on their deathbeds....

        • A.H. Browning

          I love your “fearless” voice. Thank you for speaking with me. Wish you well in all things, and “so much more” 👍

          Interesting, original and under the current circumstances we each face and regardless of where we are in the world, probably very accurate too .... N

            That was written rather hastily and due to insomnia 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

            News are nowadays bad luck
            But I hope in bad news today
            We surely will have good news tomorrow
            Thanks for sharing dear poet
