7/30 26 The end of history

The end of history

It's all a big cosmic joke

Soon to go up in nuclear smoke

Somebody thought of pouring hot oil on the invaders 

A bunch of them signed up to be crusaders

Defeat the infidels and saved their souls

Rape, plunder, and kill tear up their scrolls

Now that civilization has created great order

We can fly swarms of drones over the border

Smoke and drink coffee while the enemy we kill

Just like a computer game O what a thrill

Hang onto your hat big is change is coming soon. 

It will tear up our world like a giant typhoon.

Buy gold silver

 

7/30/26 No more for sure

No more for sure

I never listen to my father

I always thought I was much smarter

By the time I was 20, he learned a lot

I began to realize I didn't know squat

But still, I knew so much for sure. 

60 years later for sure is no more 

 So much of what I read is theory

I study and think, but all I get is weary

All I know now is, I'll never know

Sure glad I wound up in The Show

No more for sure

8/30/26 If you think Education Is expensive try Ignorance cc10/22/18

If you think

Education 

Is expensive try

Ignorance

When I was young I knew it all

Then came along my first big fall

Of course I could not except the blame

It was not my fault I lost the game

My first choice was always recreation 

I never thought much about education

After a while I realize it's what I knew

That will  usually determine what I do

So now I study every day

And in most things find my way

If you think

Education 

Is expensive try

Ignorance

8/27/26 Give up all Hope Of a better Past cc11/4/18

Give up all

Hope

Of a better

Past

It's good to reflect on events of the past

Sometimes we extract lessons that last

But to whine, complain and wallow in regret

Will makes you tense and always upset

The past is the past it's over forever

Use what it taught in your next endeavour

The present is the only place

That we can win our daily race

Stay focused on the task at hand

And your skills and talents will expand

Give up all

Hope

Of a better

Past

8/20/26 Stay balanced In both Praise and censure cc 9/26/17

Stay balanced

In both

Praise and censure

If I want to keep on learning

I'll give up all my silly yearning

To stand out and be really cool

Not just one more ignorant fool

So time is short and life is good

Why care if I'm misunderstood

I'll take a stand and do my best

Forgo my concern about the rest

Stay balanced

In both

Praise and censure

8/16/26 Self-righteous Freedom from Doubt cc 5/4/20

                                                    Self-righteous 

                                      Freedom from

Doubt

Without any thinking I launched this great plan

And pretty soon it all went in the garbage can

That was just before I turned 80

 No more will I start anything weighty  

A few times in the past lady luck has come thru

I'd get all puffed up and start something new

No council or thought just time and money

From the high ground of old age it seems really funny

To the young people I say be cautious but bold

It takes more than thought to pile up some gold

Self-righteous  

Freedom from

Doubt

7/9/26 Sweet spot cc 10/27/21

Sweet spot 

We picked a sweet spot in all of history

To be born into this incredible mystery

And now in addition to just being alive

We changed the world so we can thrive

Get enough to eat and a little spare time

So an idiot like me can sit and rhyme

There has been no concern for sustainability

Or how all the debt will create instability

It's been really great to live in this way

But sad that the future will have to pay

Sweet spot
