things saved

The best things
saved for all this
                 forever
are neglected
in dust on the shelves

not much
living
in this
living room

maybe its a warm blanket
for the dark
there under all the other crap
that life throws
on top and in front
of them

maybe they are screaming inside
or just as silent as my ideas
that got set back in safe places
for a later they're still waiting for

strong shelves
just stand and hold
but a ground that just is
sometimes starts to just be

mystery, caring and any excitement
all less
than the sound
that light winds drive

may the rain
grow and destroy
at good will
what needs either

The best things
saved for all this
                 forever
getting lost
and now that time looks more worn
through my eyes
I start to see all the not
      to be

till then
its time to start digging
digging out of all these years
into a different now
in which I can smile more

and make these
best things
more of now
not just potential



               

better world

a better world
needs happy people

everyone goes to war
for something better
and only when that is impossible
do they go for revenge

the means alone
are always horrible
and make it so easy to throw chants for peace and shattered war around
like feathers in the wind

or worse our own soldiers
on every street

but as long as someone has it horrible
and there is enough of them
there will be fists or bullets
and if lucky
only lots of words
with sting

a better world
needs happy people

we can't make them give up
because we are stronger
nor could they us

but happy people
tend to be too busy
having fun
to throw it down

take your dog
and stick it in the corner
with no fulfillment
and you'll get bit

and the all of us
are no different
sans all the trappenings we use
to distract from the fundamentals

a better world
needs more
happy people
way more
happy people
