greed arises from fear,
disastrous fearful actions -
sitting on a pile
of gold hoarding everything
only sorrow results

FIRE SALE

One kitchen table, smoke-stained.
Four chairs, three survivors.
A box of photographs
with no faces left.

Everything must go,
the sign says.

As if the fire
hadn’t seen to that.

A poem "Uneasy" by Robert Emond. My heart grows uneasy as hospital stay nears end Should be time of joy Yet I Fear Falling Falling back into destructive patterns My art cocoon is unraveling Will I emerge the glorious butterfly I know exists in my soul Or will I Fall Fall back into Fear Fears that led my heart To Fail My heart grows uneasy

A poem by Robert Emond: I am heartbroken when I look at the state of the world. It seems all I see is greed, intolerance, and violence. Fear driving it all. I am heartened when I look at the state of the world. It seems all I see is generosity, kindness, and compassion. Love driving it all. I am resolved to starve the former and nourish the latter. Because although it is our eyes that see. It is our heart that creates OUR world.

Outraged at negativity my body and soul gave out. Outrageous as it seems my outrage has evaporated. Out of rage now I strive to live in serenity."

Insecurity's Horror by Robert Emond There are those who live a life dominated by fear. Believing the isms capitalism nationalism classism grant security. They grasp for the illusion of control seeking money and power. The empty shell of their cowardice roams society, Like the zombie masses they would fear the most. Ironically inflicting insecurity on those who live a balanced life. The difference those with balance keep both feet on the path to enlightenment While they live as an empty husk devoid of meaning an joy.
