Nothing is Something Worth Doing
An inverse poem
Today was a total waste.
I can’t believe
Not a thing was achieved!
Hours slipped by in idle repose.
All I did was see the clouds move slow.
I slept with the flowers and watched the grass grow.
Today was lovely.
Tomorrow is better.
I can’t believe
In the moment(.)
I lost myself to pleasure

Peaceful Purpose
I have noticed that in the professional sphere, as far as I have noticed, that many people choose to come to work, mainly with the intention of collecting a paycheck, which I completely understand, unfortunately, we all need money to survive in this world. I also feel very strongly about the fact that if you are going to work in a profession, you should certainly treat that profession, whatever it may be, with the dignity that its purpose entails, whether you are working in the medical field, or working at a fast food restaurant, you should do you best to do the best job you can, because when it comes right down to it, we are all humans, going through the trials, and challenges that this life can bring us, by working together.
