Normal Man

The Ogeechee River - 2021

Well the candles lit and after a good nap, I’m up again. After a few moments of teasing my baby. The light from outside is under a blanket of summertime clouds. Looking at my social media I see a number of my friends and followers are either sunning or cleaning or attending church somewhere. While I myself was reading the Sunday paper learning a little more about the world and the people around me. Wondering if this new era we’ve been forced into will be good for my health or even yours.

So I look outside at a world that doesn’t change that fast unless disaster comes. And considering what we went through last year, what’s going on now can’t be good. So I brace myself for another round of hard times, just as I have so many times before. When the desires of a few men are willing to cut off their own foot just to keep the rest of us from moving. So I take a sip of my lemon tea. Eating on the snacks my daughter no longer wants. Complicating what was always a simple solution to a simple problem. Instead of just leaving well enough alone and letting sleeping dogs lie.

While the rest of us do our best to carve ourselves out a piece of the pie. Hoping that we’ll all get treated fair in the eyes of the law, without having to fear the law. But so much for wishes when a certain few decide to have their revenge all in the name of power and gold. Where even the elect and the silver spooned are fooled by the lies of a grifter yearning for the love they never received. Where pain is their pleasure and the consequences of such would lead a normal man straight to hell.
