Writing True

Idleness Kills

What bores you?

Read.

Run.

Walk.

Talk.

Write.

Draw.

Dance.

Sing.

Cook.

Eat.

Run.

Jump.

Shop.

Learn a new skill.

Meet someone new.

Watch TV.

Listen to radio.

Tend to your garden.

Hike new heights.

Call a friend or a family.

Whatever you want and can do,

Do it!

You’re alive.

You’re meant to do something.

Turn to espresso for the pushing.

Death Who?

Updated February 22, 2024, 11:40 HST

Who is death?

Why many is afraid of him?

Is he the boogey boo

Or the big foot whom we frighten ourselves—

As kids—if we don’t sleep at noon?

Who is death?

Why no one can tell where is he from?

Is he a republican or democrat?

What is his ideology?

Election time, shouldn’t we need to know?

Who is death?

Why no one wants to meet him?

Why even the notorious criminals

are shaken to hear his. . . in verdicts and sentencing?

We live avoiding him all our lives, mean.

All I know, when I meet death,

I’d get to see and touch God’s face.
