Hit by Belt
Bomb blasts are nuclear
Countries threaten countries
Leaders large egos tested
While population on edge
Fingers inches from buttons
Satellites search for blame
Then bravado turns to fear
World unsure of next steps
When engineers discover
Origin is “Kuiper Belt”
Two Haiku
After first contract
Aliens never return
First met with congress
Price of groceries
Move up at such a fast pace
Thought it was cable
Show Me Don’t Tell Me Green
Man who told me about global warming
He flew here in a private jet
Has eight thousand square foot house
Some rooms he has never been in
Others he never uses at all
Electric bill for one month
Is more than mine annually
Uses more water on his lawn
Then I can drink in a year
He has three or four large cars
In his heated garage
That is bigger than some homes
Tells me he is a environmentalist
While I never says that about me
My footprint is tiny
Compared to his giant shoes
If him and all like him
Instead of being hypocrites
Lived like the average man
Who do not have to brag
That they care about the earth
Maybe the problem would not exist
Spend your money how you like
But do not preach to me
Things you do not do in your own life
You profess that you are green
Maybe with the wallet
Words only do not help the land
Ad Vance D
Dreamed as a young child
Many of wondrous possibilities
Thought the future would be
Different than the present
Seems like the priorities
Are twisted in odd shapes
Military machine beams
Huge give-a-way plywood
Cell phone nails
Or celebrity insulation
Wonder if old astronauts
Are disappointed too
While the new circle around
Day after day in a tin can
Most of population unaware
Of the lost future
Maybe simply do not care
Long as they have their
Fix or daily dose
Of the latest bandwagon
Feels like only advance in space
Is large, medium, or mini
Storage areas or buildings
For all the junk gathered
After the entire garage is full
Years since it held car
Of course, we all must have
Latest and then newest
At least until next week
Plowed into the land
Branded into our minds
Like the cattle we become
Bomb blasts are nuclear
Countries threaten countries
Leaders large egos tested
While population on edge
Fingers inches from buttons
Satellites search for blame
Then bravado turns to fear
World unsure of next steps
