Say Goodbye

Say Goodbye

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Donuts, cookies, or whatever

You know they are not safe there

Especially when milk is close

They will be gone the minute you leave

The Eternal Lantern

The Eternal Lantern

by Lord R.e. Taylor

The lantern lights the darkness

Bringing a new vision to the forest

No one knows who brought it out

Or the reasons behind it

No one ever comes out to light it

Still, it burns eternally constant 

It burns for the lost,  

It burns for the waiting,  

It burns for the dawn yet to come.

Whatever it is or wherever it came from

And even though no one ever sees it

It is a legendary light of hope

Welcome To Earth

Welcome To Earth

by Lord R.e. Taylor

So many things we do not know

Many more things we do not understand

Most do not want to talk about them

Others want to see the truth

But that is being kept secret

Locked away in unknown files

In the basement rooms no one knows about

However, the time has come

People want to see if we are alone

Someday, the files will be captured

Opened before the public

Only then can we welcome them

And we will no longer feel alone

Santa Eats

Santa Eats

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Working one night a year

Eating a billion calories during his travels

No wonder he is fat

Your Hidden Treasure

Your Hidden Treasure

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Everyone has a treasure

Hidden somewhere

Often it is no larger than a spark

Barely able to be seen

Unless you are looking for it

Even so it may just take a second to find it

But it may take days or even months

Sometimes it will be gone for years

But never lose your faith

That treasure was always yours

And rest assured that it always will be

It Ain’t Happening

It Ain’t Happening

by Lord R.e. Taylor

So many voices

From all over the world

Warnings repeated

But the authorities ignored them

Ignored the terrorists coming in from other lands

Ignored the man and his son

And the four guns they had

They also ignored the explosives

Luckily, they were not used

Fifteen people died that day

Thirty-eight people were wounded

The shooters even killed a ten-year-old girl

All because the authorities didn’t care

The time has come to change things

Make people pay attention

And do something to keep people safe

Because it sure ain’t happening now
