Gotta Have Faith?

Faith means different things to different people

And is not only found under a steeple.

Can it be helpful? What’s the end game?

Does it make life better, or more of the same?

It’s been live-saving for many, who knows why…

So if you have holes in your life, give it a try?

The Spirit of Surfing

If you pause a sec, it’s not such a reach.

I mean, you don’t surf to hear someone preach!

But it’s hard to find a surfer who thinks

That there aren’t any pretty deep links

Between riding a wave, pure perfection…

And feeling some divine connection.

Bloody Mary Jane

Well it seems to me that this misses the point.
You know what’s good? A drink and a joint!
So it’s not a matter of replacement
I’d say instead it should be adjacent.
Have your alcohol, it always works well
And then smoke some weed to really feel swell.

Winter Solstice

I’ve always loved when this day comes around

And even more if you’re cold and snowbound.

It’s a turning point, things will get better!

The sun is sending us a love letter.

Meanwhile, as the shortest day of the year

No margin for error to bring good cheer.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

It’s certainly more than we had bargained for
Three presidents at once! Never before
Have we seen a transition this complex.
While one of the three kind of expects
To rule it all and be the big hero
And he’s the one whose vote count was zero.

Say Jeez!

Who would say no to having God in their life?

Atheists, I suppose, and those who love strife.

But mostly I think it will help your cause

And for only a few would it give pause.

But having “Jesus” in your photo op…?

Well that seems just a bit over the top.

Health is a Habit

What a debate between two advisors

Both known for promoting crazy geysers

Of information to support their view

That usually is too hard to sift through.

But on this I’m aligned with RFK…

Habits not drugs are a much better way.

The See Suite

To the extent these drugs have the power

To open the conscience like a flower

And help people gain a much fuller sense

That the world of “possible” is immense

And if there are no bad repercussions

Then add it to Monday meeting discussions!

The End Game

It’s never easy to fill a large void

No matter how much you studied Freud.

And as the hourglass holds less and less sand

The last thing you want is to feel that life’s bland.

The answer’s elusive, not easy to find…

For me? Take lots of risks and always be kind.

Sure, Schadenfreude

When fame results from a self-serving loop

First earned for… nothing! A delicious scoop…

Then builds like a snowball rolling downhill

WIthout being driven by any known skill

Well it’s nice to see some form of rebuke

For a life and style that make many puke.
