Something to remember

[Imoutgoodbye]

Every day I have less

in my bank account.

Every day I grow scared

as my losses mount.

Every day there is less

to the house that I own

and the equity in it

like the wind, has blown.

Every day I see less

on my bottom line.

Every day something worsens

that used to be fine.

Every day in my family

there's worry and stress.

Where once we dreamed of more

we now do with less.

Every day I hear stories

of a company's worth

sinking to levels

from before my birth.

And places I shopped

are now closing their doors.

Big firms I grew up with

are big firms no more.

Every day I have less

of a once strong sensation

that the leaders we choose

are good for our nation.

Every day I see less

of the country I knew

of the dreams we encouraged

under red, white, and blue.

Instead I see signs

of foreclosure and sale

and people afraid

of what comes in the mail.

I see layoffs and cutbacks

no help for the needy

as billions are given

to the powered and greedy.

And this news, it is endless

it burrows so deep.

It shadows my waking

It's haunting my sleep.

Yet every day I have less

I cannot ignore it.

Something grows clearer

that wasn't before it.

If I still have a job

I am luckier than some.

If I still have my house

it's better than none.

If I still have my wits

there are mouths I can feed.

If I still have my family

What more do I need?

If I still have my health

I am mercifully blessed.

If I think I have little

Someone has less.

Every day I discover

more mercy in me.

Every day I find out

who my true friends will be.

Every day that I stumble

or say, "I can't do it!"

Is a day I discover

With God's grace, I get through it.

So I learn a new lesson

If I keep a new score

That every day I have less

May be a day I have more.

Jesus can walk on water, but Chuck Norris can swim through land.

Chuck Norris will never have a heart attack. His heart isn't nearly foolish enough to attack him.

Noah was the only man warned before Chuck Norris relieved himself in the Atlantic Ocean.

Most people fear Grum. Chuck Norris considers him "a promising rookie".

The only sure things are Death and Taxes…and when Chuck Norris goes to work for the IRS, they'll be the same thing

Yay for poetry. This reminded me a bit of one of my own works. Enjoy:

-Gaia

Blessed a mother thou art to me

And humbly I do follow thee

Along thy path of harmony

Stretching vastly, sea to sea

Your beauty I wish to behold

In untouched landscapes of the old

Where ancient stories there are told

That burn with heat and chill with cold

From this nightmare I'll awake

Where people live for their own sake

I think it is a big mistake

To never give and only take

Spreading fast we lay cement

We ill ourselves and then lament

Upon destruction we're hellbent

But we don't own earth, we just rent

We build weapons of mighty power

We make dollars every hour

So we can guard the highest tower

And have the most things to devour

Fewer are the sacred places

Sparser are the happy faces

Illnesses are untied laces

Cured with bionic metal braces

Let's not get further from the source

I fear what is our chosen course

What's worse is so few show remorse

Less vision than a blinkered horse

Luckily not all are blind

And amongst the crowd you'll find

People of a wiser kind

Who have Gaia on their mind

The kind who watch a setting sun

Who show respect when having fun

That know from whence it all begun

And do not want it be undone

Those who prefer a soaring hawk

That you'd see on a nature walk

To an outline traced in chalk

On a very dangerous block

I raise a toast to all who care

To earth's friends who are aware

From where it comes that precious air

Take it for granted they don't dare

Sacred is the life we've got

And to use it right we ought

Be kinder to the earth and not

Pile waste and watch it rot

If together we embrace creator

Then the world's a little greater

There's no need to be a hater

Love never needed a translator

So next time you make a decision

Let it be free of derision

And I hope you will envision

Gaia giving you permission
