thanklessly

notes for the gratitude brigade

 

trees up

train comes as per schedule

world turns too

 

walls for let the ivy come

 

for first light

all sorts of rising

 

animals of a particular place

accord to prevailing conditions

 

do wars begin end so?

 

gladness yes then treaty

 

thanks for the skin in the game

 

leaves fall golden

and the flowers blow

 

how I am taken for granted!

 

grief gets over us

we come from the scars

 

that old scare

odds are survival

 

grass grew, someone walked over my grave

just a saying

 

thanklessly love runs out

who will obey the signs?

 

idea came to me

vision in a thankless dream

and day tasks too

 

keep a grip

 

much suffered the generations before

and should they be thanked for that?

then what?

 

bowels open

all is expectation

 

some things make sense

and there are others

 

no one said sky

people just call names

 

point these things out

and no one will thank you

 

malignant is its own religion

but what for my lunch?

how about the sweatshop clothes?

 

and off my own back

 

thank the birds for singing, twit

like it was meant for you

 

much blameless

nobody raised from a choir

 

nor does this dent the magic

deny the mystery

 

I’d thank you for listening this little while

but nobody really does that
