What Is It Really

What does it mean?
Does it mean
Holiday spirit?
We can all be happy and jolly
We can all be nice
But, what does it really mean?
Deep down inside
What does Christmas mean?
Getting presents
No, Christmas means giving not receiving
Christmas means giving other people presents
That doesn’t seem right
You can’t buy
good fortune, happiness or Christmas spirit
Isn’t that what you’re doing
If you could buy it
what would it be?
money?
How can you buy money?
No, it just isn’t right
I’m being a Grinch
And if you think
all the things I’ve said are right
the things about getting presents and money
you’re a Grinch too
Christmas means
love
being together
with family
and friends
Everyone eating together
warm, dry, full, cheerful
under one roof
That’s the best Christmas present yet
Being
warm
dry
full to the rim of delicious food
Covered in love
 by people where love grows together
like a bond
to hold us all together
I thought so much
For so long
It is now time for bed
After all that thinking
Something paid off
I now know
What Christmas means
What it’s really about
FamilyIt’s really all mental

Juice

There's
orange juice
and apple juice
strawberry
blueberry
very berry
cherry
But my favorite is
Coke

Vultures

The vultures slowly circled the corn field
After about 2 circles she/he would find another patch of
Sky?
Land?
Which one was she/he circling exactly?
I've noticed vultures always  circle in groups
Why? What for?
For protection, maybe
company, maybe
What is it that vultures are always looking for anyway?
Oh yeah,
Meat
Dead meat

Rolly Polly

I put my picnic blanket down
In the middle of
Nowhere
No trees no plants
Just grass
Green grass everywhere
No more than 3 inches tall
All I had in my sight was:
some little ants
3 grasshoppers
3 butterflys
a flock of geese soaring over me
Switching positions
And a single rolly polly
climbing over my blanket
I carefully picked him up
I let him climb up all over my arms and legs
I gently let him go
I let go because nature is not ours to keep locked up
If so he'll die
He'll die from his loss of nature
I came into his territory
They've never set a foot in ours

Confusion

Pink
The color of mattresses
Purple
The color of pink
Blue
The color of oulgie
Black
The color of light
Orange
The color of the solar system
Why, that doesn't seem right!
