An Gobharnoir...The Governor

 An Gobharnoir

He felt the pull of governmental gravity
engulfed in it he rose in society
the weight of acting as Governor
justified a climb that lasted forever

He struggled in rarified air to soar
riding political winds evermore
and during periods dark and unforgiving
spoke words that gave hope to the dying

Like the incarnation of the Savior
he used his life's labor 
to procure young women, his delight
and asked them to work late at night

His anxious lips freely given
surprised those who were awe-stricken
and his wayward touches masked hypocrisy
full of perceptions lacking decency

Tarnished reality eventually stained his deeds
and in disgrace with desperate need
he swallowed his pride under duress
packed his bags and left

The Rushers...

The Rushers

Much like children they touch everything
they hardly hold them for any time
the beauty of life that's happening 
makes no impression on their fleeting minds

Virtual bricks of time are bypassed
to never construct their reality
as existence is hurried forward ever fast
during the rushers momentary conformity

Todays rushers savor future days
they cast hopes on unplowed dirt
believing that tomorrow will arrive and stay
to confirm their joyful rebirth
To swiftly assist their morning rituals
To run to work and hurry back
To quickly absorb needed victuals
and forget time passing fast

This gives one cause to wonder
what is so important and significant
about the present being cast asunder
while disregarding the days' beautiful incandescence
