Guidelines Road Signs

While traveling on vacation,

Anywhere across the nation,

Look for signs high and low

So you know where to go.

Hoping that by using GPS

You’ll avoid getting lost,

And steer clear of any mess

That would add to the cost.

In an unfamiliar location

It’s easy to misinterpret

The guidepost’s indication

And decide the right gambit.

In cities with multiple lanes

Sometimes it’s hard to see

Which way is right and pertains

Or leads to missed opportunity.

One wrong turn and suddenly

You have to get back on track.

The map app helps certainly

When you’re out of whack.

Still it’s a traffic matter 

Of being in the right place

So you don’t go splatter

From being in the wrong space.

Today my personal power and wealth

Are indicated by my good health.

I’m strong enough that whatever life’s endeavor,

Today I feel like I could live forever.

This internal sense of superiority

Comes from my very own authority.

I don’t need any one else’s permission,

For sure I’m not bowing in submission.

I’m grateful for my physique’s agility

And all that gives me a sense of virility.

Even if I’m the one and only witness,

I’ll celebrate to honor my fitness.

Xenophobia Phobia

As I juggle my internal struggle,

Emotion says they’re strange.

Logic says it’s time to change.

It’s hard to predict my inner conflict.

One part gives an unalike sermon,

Another whispers we’re all human.

One idea that I wrestle

Is they’re not people to nestle,

Versus we’re all in the same vessel.

Eternally I grapple internally

With an urge of what I ought

Against all rational thought.

I have notions of conflicting emotions,

Of wishing others ill and harm

Or keeping them safe and warm.

By day and night, myself I fight;

Against impulse to ignore and deny

Hoping my better self comes by.

As I blunder, sometimes I wonder

If it’s innate, this instinct to hate

Or if I can overcome that trait.
