Just one
Fish in the sea
Of all humanity
Swimming towards eternity?
You matter!

Faces
Faces are all around me
Young, old, dark, light,
As far as I can see
Faces are all around me
Some sad, some friendly
Some mad, some drawn tight
Faces are all around me
Young, old, dark, light,

There are so many faces we see daily. Sometimes I don’t take the time to look at every face but other times I make a point to focus on each face I see. I guess that’s called “People Watching” and it can be very interesting.
“Homeless. Anything Helps”
I see you
Walking about
Standing on the street corner
Holding a cardboard sign that says
It all
Cinquain
You
You matter
Amid masses
Of all humanity
You are unique, special,
Needed

Wanting and wasting are we
Living in a plastic worldly tent
Of high tech commodity
Wanting and wasting are we
Our waste destroying the sea
And littering our enviroment
Wanting and wasting are we
Living in a plastic worldly tent

This poem is based on an “up-ended” meaning of this phrase: “waste not, want not”
This is actually a proverb which means:
if you use a commodity or resource carefully and without extravagance, you will never be in need.
This was one of my mom’s favorite sayings. She lived the the Great Depression. We would all do well to learn to do this nowadays.
