The Weird Burger

At the moment I saw the commercial I wanted it.

I just had to have this burger.

While in the shower it kept running across my mind.

Craving to see what it was like, I jumped in my car and saw it on the drive thru billboard.

Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce and cheese.

After taxes, the burger with the combo came up to $10. 

Sadly, I realized that I’d been gaining weight, my waist size had gone from a 32 to a 45. 

I sat at the drive thru speaker for about 2 minutes before I backed out. 

I changed my mind and decided to eat a salad.

After a run in the park, I felt better, but I was still fighting the thought of the weird burger.

The Devil’s Speech

 “First of all no one has the guts to kill me so I’m going to give it to you straight. Look at all of these countries kissing my a** while all of God’s angels sit wealthy in their mansions. As I move forward with marking everything with 666 who is man enough to face me? I watched for years patiently waiting for this moment. I’ve watched as innocent babies are sacrificed to me. Nasty a** perverts feeding me with their insanely nasty fantasies while whispering in the ears of lonely women as they drop off drug infested bodies at the hospital to die of overdoses. Now beg at the altar, sheep, this is what you sold out to. The hatred and jealousy in your hearts. I made you a deal and you have no choice but to take it. I even painted you a nice friendly picture of how I imagine your savior and you accepted it as your very own, and any saint plotting to take me out will share the equal share of my wrath and his. We can sit on the thrown in the kingdom of hell together and if God is my brother, and he allowed me to do this damage, then the archangel Michael and Gabriel must sit and watch until given the order. They both know man’s ill will. Who can stomach evil and do nothing? Who will surrender everything they have to face me? I know all of your confessions. These are the paths that you all chose, I know your thoughts.”

He drops the microphone as more evil spreads, and the man sent from God to face him rounds up his courage to give his life for the greater good that’s left.

The Devil’s Speech

Who is brave enough to fight the forces of evil?

This piece is only literature, don’t take it personal.

The Musical

There they were, dancing in the rain.

For some odd reason they just kept dancing even in the midst of chaos.

In war, they danced.

In peace, they danced.

They took over my thoughts; I just had to watch them, I couldn’t help it.

Their moves were all in sequence, everyone kept their rhythm.

In the middle of a pandemic, they danced.

In the wrath of storms and tornadoes, they just kept dancing.

Tariffs soon ravaged the markets and there they were still dancing in the streets.

I recall this one back step with a sliver of the body. 

It was groovy.

Feeling the weight of the world I gave up on my own ambitions and joined in. 

My troubled mind left it all on the dance floor.

I don’t know what happened, but they transformed me and they put it all on video.

The Musical

Even on the edge in what appeared as a doomed world, everyone just seemed so happy.

Home

If I told a child that some people live in the woods, he or she probably would not believe me.

So I ask, “What is home?”

It’s a place to relax.

It’s a place to unwind.

Sadly, not everyone can afford a home and, sadly, not everyone has a place to call home.

Home to some maybe on a street corner while a home for others may be in a mansion.

In a world where people seem to never be satisfied, we may find ourselves ungrateful for the home that we do have while others are left to suffer.

It’s important to not hold on to material ambitions because those whom we consider toxic would gladly love the life that many of us take for granted.

A lost child with no where to go…

A mother with nothing left…

A soldier yearning to make it to one place…

A place that we call,

“Home.”
