What funny things
the way they change
and grow
like plants of every
shape and size
that can simply
up root
and move about
A cactus of a man
a stout prick if ever
one can be described
A dainty dandelioness
whose thoughts and frame
float with the wind


People
What fickle things
they flow
through years
like river water
never the same today
as they were this day
a year before
nor the way they will be
as time flows
ever forward


People
What frightful things
Creation
for the sake of destruction
great beasts
looming at the top
of earths food chain
Hunting
for the sport of
discourse or
fighting for their love
and life
with hate and death


People
what feable things
who cry and
fear and hope
that todays tomorrow
will be greater
than yesterdays
never knowing
just growing
their strong roots
and flowing
with the sands of time
in hopes to survive
the destruction
