Ike

Man, I know Ike was awful, and that it caused devastation, and all that, but man, it affected me in a good way. I got a week off from school.

And I still haven't done my homework. My family had power out for two days, and my grandparents still haven't gotten theirs back on. I think i wrote a poem about it, but i'm not sure whether it's about Ike or Life. I'll have to see.

You'll see a lot of poetry. It's my thing.

WHO

May be important

But most important

Is HOW you treat that WHO

And how that WHO treats you

WHAT

Does knowing matter?

Knowing your soul matters

Knowing WHAT you have

And WHAT you have lost

And have yet to gain

does not matter

your happiness meter matters

WHEN

Time is of the essence

You're only here for a few short minutes

If you put it in

Perspective

Do not live in the past

Do not revel in the future

Be joyous of now

And glad there is one

And that there's always a reason to celebrate

During it

WHERE

As long as you are happy

And have had true joy

Where changes

People change

Joy does not change

WHY

Why did this flood happen?

Why are we here?

Why is the sky blue?

Why did this happen to me?

And not you?

How come bad things happen?

At all?

Ever?

Who knows what's good or bad?
