Target Practice ….by Jim Adams
I wanted to save time in a bottle so I could spend every minute with her when I found out that my wife was pregnant. My desire was to save every day till eternity passes away, but then coming back from our honeymoon at Niagara Falls, the bus flipped over after it hit a wet patch on the road, and I lost her forever and my dreams would never come true. I became a widow instead of being a dad and now I wanted to smash that bottle to smithereens. She was not having my baby and I had to release my anger somehow. I lined the bottle in my sights and said, “Hang down your head, Tom Dooley, you poor boy, you’re bound to die.” I pulled my trigger, now it’s dead, watch out daddy has a gun and you better run.

Reena’s Xploration Challenge 5/18/23~ New Horizon Arising

Exploding under pressure
Exploding under pressure …. Sadje is first in this week
Composure shattering
Spontaneous combustion

How much stress can I bear?
For how long can my brain withstand
All the demands the society makes on it

Ultimately there will a huge outburst

Beware, for this not a threat but a warning
It’s not just a possibility but an eventuality
That today’s lifestyle is pushing us all towards!

Age-ism
“Age-ism may turn out to be the biggest mistake in decades to come”, opined the auditor. “Businesses lack the perspective of experience.” “Cultural fit is a problem, and then baby boomers and Gen X ask for a lot of money”. “It’s good to keep an eye on the bottom line, but without losing sight of … Continue reading Age-ism
Was That Really Me
Was that really me?
At my heart’s core
beneath sparks of confusion
while wielding a sword of arrogance
too ignorant to know to not take love for granted
while keeping faith I’d find what as you may guess
I’d need only open my eyes to see.
