All and Sundry

All and Sundry

They all went through my life so fast
I thought they would stay from first to last
Given the present they soon became past
Relegated to memories of having a blast
Brothers, lovers, wives and mothers
Sisters, sons, daughters and fathers
All one act plays of fleeting cast
Something about myself
As the ship sails
I watch the mast
Caught up in the friggin' rigging
I suppose you could see it coming
On life's horizon
Where the moment is vast
While standing still
In the middle of it
All aghast
As everything sinks
In a colorful mess
And flesh stinks
A rotting cess
Crawling toward extinction
This
Is the brightest outcome
Yet laugh I will
When tears erupt
Volcanoes and beans spill
All to make life worth living

God's Bell

For God's sake There was a fence There was a bench There was a moat There was a boat There was a trifle Moment There was a rifle There was a whore There was a war There was a lot more There was some gumption There was an assumption There was a creation Chaos There was a little There was a lot There was a child There was a cot Entangled Mangled There was nothing There was no sense There was the long and short of it Sentence There was no way out There was no way in There was no start From which to begin In all this madness In all this Hell I still heard the ringing Of God's bell
