Lyrics - OK Not the End

The saying "Everything will be okay in the end, and if it's not OK, it is not the end." Is credited to John Lennon. It may be better known as being quoted in the movie “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel”. Warning: dark!

Okay Not the End
Bonus Poem for Day 231 – 20150819

Loving friends with kind intents,
purveyors of many gentle thoughts,
present me words that do trigger
intentions of a kind not meant.
If it's not okay, you're not there,
there is even more yet to come.
Not yet the end, but if it were
everything will be all okay.

Okay okay okay okay.
It will be in the distant end
okay okay okay okay.

The limbo of in-between is
neither the end nor is it okay.
Please bring the end here to me
or change the meaning of the other.
Either the end or the okay,
one could come before the latter.
Everything will be okay in the end
if I would not wake up tomorrow.

Okay okay okay okay.
It will be in the forced end
okay okay okay okay.

Here I am waiting for the end,
moving toward the finish line,
the place where everything will be
okay okay okay okay.
Okay okay okay okay.
Okay okay okay okay.
Okay okay.
Okay.

Poem - Blame Target

First Target removed gender specific signage from children's products in its stores. Then Facebook user Mike Melgaard came to Target's defense posing as as a Target customer service rep (http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/man-poses-target-facebook-trolls-haters-its-gender-neutral-move-epic-replies-166364). The haters showed up in droves and Mike laid on the comically sarcastic replies for sixteen hours. Many enjoyed the humor. I thought it was sad (and funny). The poem “Blame Target” celebrates the sentiment that Mike faced in his posed role.


Blame Target
Poem for Day 232 – 20150820

What should I buy my child,
be they a girl or a boy?
Will I choose correctly
when all signs are removed?
These are the words I see
when I read the social feeds.
There is another sentiment
buried beneath this puzzlement.

The slope is steep and the devil lurks
on PC wings of gender benders.
First the toys and then the clothes,
first the bikes and then the johns,
first the beds and then the joining
of confused adults in matrimony
to the same gender, plushies, or furries,
it will be all the same to them!

So man the barricades of outrage,
built with dogmatic fears.
Defend the sacred traditions
assaulted by the rest of the world.
Your girl is now a boy,
your boy is now a girl,
all will be transgender in the world
and Target will be the one to blame.
