Awakening II: The Poetry of Gunnar Våken

Poem: Love

I love my cell phone
I love my wife
I love my kids
I love my life

I love my mommy
I love my broz and sissez
I love a few other rellies
Their Misters and Mrs

I love being alive
I love being cancer-free
I love being relatively healthy
I love the birds and bees

I love having a goal
I love having a condo
I love having education
I love the whole mondo

Hate
How can there be love
Without hate?

I hate the high cost of living
I hate how hard it is
To get a decent job
I hate corporations and their hired
Politicians
Reaching into my pocket
To rob

I hate having always to lose
F-ing weight
I hate climate change threatening
To burn up my family
I hate liars running our nations
I hate the words versus actions
Anomalies

Okay, I think that's enough hate
For one day

Neutral, no emotion

I'm emotionless about more or less rain
I'm emotionless about trannies using M or F washrooms
I'm emotionless about top hits on Billboard charts
I'm emotionless about neighbours feasting on
Magic mushrooms

That's about all I have for
Emotionless

Life involves a range of emotions
Some extreme, some mild
This roller coaster may bore me on downturns
And make me puke when
It's too wild

Let's live to the full
Give it our best shot
Coz life is what it is
Even when it's not
