QUARANTINE LIFE: DETAILS

QUARANTINE LIFE: LESSONS IN POPCORN

You can’t always count on others to handle with care what you’ve made. In the execution of their job, they don’t consider the time and effort you’ve spent doing yours. They don’t know the value or delicacy of what’s inside, or the pride you took in creating, but you do. So, you take steps to secure it; protect it. Just in case it gets left to be exposed to the elements, it’ll be just fine. 

Sometimes people have never experienced the goodness of a thing; perhaps they're not familiar with it, so they don’t consider the impact of their haste, inconsideration, or carelessness. How it's handled is no big deal. If they only knew what they was in their possession, they’d treat it like gold, and not toss it any old place just to get it out of their hands. Perhaps, if they knew, they'd take that extra second to make sure no damage is done.

Fortunately, there are those who do care; who do know; who are forward thinking. They consider every contingency to make sure a thing is protected. Because they care, they take extra steps to make what’s inside remains unaffected no matter what...

...’cause I would have been one sad sister if my favorite popcorn had been ruined. 🙂

QUARANTINE LIFE: POETRY PROMPT---THE BANDWAGON

The bandwagon you jumped on

Seems to be moving fast

You've joined the ones you can’t beat

On a trip that will not last

Your patience with the high road

Ran out, and here you are

Waving the banner of those 

Who view you as subpar

The bandwagon you jumped on

Has its own strategy

You on board, are just a prop

A technicality

Your purpose serves to deceive

Your ride comes with a hitch

Don't be surprised as the wheels fly

You end up in a ditch

The bandwagon you jumped on

Proves you have lost your way

At some point, other travelers

Influenced what you say

Convincing you that who you are

And every road you've trod

Is damaged, worthless, ignorant

With no place to applaud

The bandwagon you jumped on

Has never been secure

It drives its own a scenic way

For you, there's a detour

Be careful what you leave behind

What falls off as you ride

Where this wagon will take you

Will leave you dead inside

The bandwagon you jumped on

Is coming to an end

Open your eyes; don't be surprised

When it slows down again

To test how much you hate yourself

And those who look like you;

To seek gullible stooges

As most bandwagons do
