Behavioural 349

Predetermined

Behavioural

Directives 

Survival and procreation

Are hardwired into the population

Quite a lot are kind and generous

Once in a while cruel and venomous

Then there's very few 

That come up with what's new

Carnegie, Edison, Ford and Bill Gates

Changed how everything operates

And then there's the rest of us folks

Just hard-working regular blokes

Predetermined

Activity 348

Does this

Activity

Lead me to where

I want to be

No is the answer most of the time

All I do is sit and rhyme

Today I'll make a great bold list

Of all the things that I have missed

And one by one I'll cross them off

Then someday soon I'll sit and scoffed

At all the wasted time I spent

I'll learn from it without lament

Oh what great things I'll achieve

Or just one more chance to self deceive

Does this

Activity

Lead me to where

I want to be

Curiosity. 347

Create a

Raging

Curiosity

I used to think that I could know

But now I know it was just a show

Read and study think and plan

do it for your whole lifespan span

And when your old you may realize

That few among us are ever wise

The wisest thing that they can bestow

You will never know what you don't know

Create a

Raging

Curiosity

Can't 346

You can't

Or you won't

I always said

Before I get dead

I would make a hefty mark

So soon I will be eighty

And there ain't nothing weighty

It's all been a walk in the park

Still I keep learning

And the yearning keeps churning

I know very soon it will be dark

But what a great trip it is it has been

If I get lucky I'll leave with a grin

As I think how it's been a great lark

You can't

Or you won't

To close 345

I'm standing too close

This shit ain't personal

(Universal unfolding)

My shoulder hurts my feet are swollen

I got toe fungus and a iffie colon

North Korea has been shooting missiles

The dog came home with lots of thistles

Life is better than has ever been

Garden greens and eggs from our hen

Electric, heat and indoor plumbing

Coffee, wine and the checks keep coming

I'll stand way back and watch the show

Be kind, gentle and stay in the flow

I'm standing too close

This shit ain't personal

(Universal unfolding)

Road back 344 cc

We are all

Walking the short

Road back to

Nowhere

The first time I was dead

I had no troubles in my head

For reasons all unknown

I came into a zone

Of noise,light and feeling

That left me scared and reeling

It only took me 80 years

To put an end to most of my fears

Now soon I'll be dead again

What a great life it has been

We are all

Walking the short 

Road back to

Nowhere

Broke 335

You're born broke you die broke

Everything else is just fluctuation

Making money is no big deal

Study think and plan don't steal

Squirrel some away

For the next rainy day

Then spend your time learning

Give up on the yearning

Breath chew and stay slim

Go swimming at the gym

Be grateful kind and gentle

Our body is only a rental

You're born broke you die broke

Everything else is just fluctuation
