The River

The river called humanity

flows downhill all the way

which most don’t recognize

until way too late, but that’s

the way it is, and anyone

who has regrets soon forgets

or dies and gone forever…

So, appropriate thoughts for

Day of the Dead, November 1,

2012, Day of the Dead,

where all that’s gone is remembered,

and all that is still here is

forgotten, lost in the current

of circumstance.
