Everyday Poems

I’m going to
find the tree
That nearly finished me
A milestone a mile from home
A living tombstone
That’s where
I’m going to

I’m going to
“See the world”
George Bailey said
Before saving the
Building and Loan instead
Dreams replaced
By Clarence grace 
I’m going to

I’m going to
Catch COVID
Or some man made plague
The origins of which
will remain forever vague
I’m going to

I’m going to
The criminal court
In the Hague
And press for charges
Against the USA
For crimes against humanity
I’m going to

I’m going to
Hear the sound
Of people unbound
Their liberty found
Whilst others entombed
underground
I’m going to

I’m going to
Sit in a field
A carpet of teal
And let nature heal
Life’s ordeals
I’m going to

I’m going to
Remember times
Where memory chimes
A call to honour
Life’s splendour
I’m going to
