The simple life We all strive for Cannot be called simple If we ignore the Brothers and sisters Needing our help Go live in nature In a 10 X 15 foot hut And try to answer To anyone but yourself You make a good case For peace with nature But what does it mean With a world collapsing About you – peaceful existence Living off of nature But fails in our assignment To be of service to each other I visualize the parade With the band and majorettes Music is powerful But what about our deeds We must reach out To those in need Serve them beyond Their expectations We inspire them – Those in need and They adjust their greed Get involved in life Keep it simple too Only then will the Simple life be true Stanski May 9, 2021 ^
THE SIMPLE LIFE
The simple life We all strive for Cannot be called simple If we ignore the Brothers and sisters Needing our help Go live in nature In a 10 X 15 foot hut And try to answer To anyone but yourself You make a good case For peace with nature But what does it mean With a world collapsing About you – peaceful existence Living off of nature But fails in our assignment To be of service to each other I visualize the parade With the band and majorettes Music is powerful But what about our deeds We must reach out To those in need Serve them beyond Their expectations We inspire them – Those in need and They adjust their greed Get involved in life Keep it simple too Only then will the Simple life be true Stanski May 9, 2021 ^
GOD HELP US

I MISS STANLEY
I MISS STANLEY Before all the crisis There was a time When I was enthralled by The Poet Laureate, Stanley Kunitz He was a good philosopher Respected by the intellectuals And he understood nature and Also loved his garden He wrote for himself and his Gardens were for his own satisfaction Solutions to internal conflict Came out in his musings and poems Satisfaction with balance came With his passion for the garden He observed and drew conclusions As critical thinking often does He was sometimes frustrated by condition But safeguarded himself by belief in solutions Knowing that everyone would not be satisfied Because control or power was lost Stanley was a dreamer but had foresight He knew potential and how to achieve it He lived in the moment; knew when to move on A hero, now gone, but will be remembered Stanski May 12, 2021 ^

WHAT SHOULD WE DO
What now my friend? Like a ship stranded Waiting for a tide Wanting a changing wind Relief of any kind And at what price When it trouble One cannot factor cost Emergence is what is sought A ride back to the top Then the application of disclaimers Fault and blame expound You are not surprised Did not expect change The club has its rules Applying to most everyone Mistakes or intentional actions Are painted to cover up Truth no longer a factor Two people cannot agree May even become hostile Convinced by partisans Who have trouble with reality So where are we going It is our country Shall we wait for the tide? Or begin on our own Stansberry November 17, 2017 ^
TROUBLE
Where are the workers They are getting the stimulus More than they can earn So why work? The money is from the Government And they are here to help Unemployment is temporary You should get back to work Remember – each according To their means To others according to Their needs So why work – Until you run out Of other people’s money Wake up America This is a great country Wake up teachers Are you not smart Enough to understand What you unions are doing? Get back to the classrooms No more indoctrination You will be eaten up By our own failures Free riders – get back to work Joe-Joe – close the border Do the right thing Asylum seekers Must remain in Mexico Mexican cartels are terrorists Deal with them, Joe-Joe Now!

PEACE
We look for peace For our self Our friends and family The country And world Conflict exists Gets in the way of peace What can we do? There are always sides One pitted against the other Desire for control and power Winners and losers Who owns the peace? Those with respect Who will reconcile between Good and evil And are willing To endure Until justice is served Hunger and homelessness Are no ingredients for peace Time heals all wounds Many factors involved Peace is a dream We arrive at it in Various ways It is individual Until sometime We can all come together Stanski May 5, 2021 ^
