A new poem just finished today and while not intentionally socio-political, in retrospect, it may in many ways reflect on that which is happening in/to this country. I will leave it at that and allow you to form your own opinions and draw your own conclusions.
Enjoy your weekend everyone,
Jake.
What’s it gonna be?
Good for you or good for me?
Heads Or Tails
One man’s blessing
is another man’s cross.
~
One man’s treasure
is another man’s loss.
~
One man’s ore
is another man’s dross.
~
While one man’s pleasure
is another man’s boss.
~
One man’s gift
has another man’s cost.
~
One man’s meltdown
is another man’s frost.
~
One man’s found
was another man’s lost.
~
And one man’s line
another man’s crossed.

Whole new perspective on the simple old meat and poison story of two men.
Thanks Ankur, as we must all taste of the poison in life in one form or another, the challenge then becomes choosing the poison that will not destroy us, but will become the antidote to make us stronger and allow us to appreciate the “good meat” which we are provided..
