Well honestly is makes sense. I made the change to exit high tech and of course the people I helped are still involved in the capitalism lie. But honestly, I’ve done so much to advance their careers yet I never hear from them only when they need help. What’s up with that? But it makes sense.

We are all interconnected and one day they will awake. Good in the world is good for all. Helping others i...

Coffee With A View

Adele McLean

1 min read

The winter’s so hot,

James burned to the ground? Missing?

Just to the viewer.

Fade away from truth,

help the seers understand.

Live life in plain view.

‘Yeah though I walk in

the valley of common greed,

be evil and viewed.’

‘Coffee never tastes

As good as it smells’, he laughed.

Viewing is obscured....

Insignificant Beings

Day,

Today,

Yesterday,

What’s on your mind?

Constantly spinning

the world, it is complex.

Agitatated agony,

and again beautiful at once.

Today, tomorrow, love outlasts all

Devoted divine world we are guests of...

City Garden, Fresh Strawberries (I Really Did Think That Song Was About The Jetsons)

Adele McLean

Seven am chirps.

Breakfast smells, pink blanket, cartoons.

‘How did you sleep my darling?’

Moving slowly, stretch.

From snug bed to big brown couch,

Grandpa in the garden now.

‘Here come the Jetson’s,

one, two, three’…out the back door,

dewey grass, wet toes.

‘It’s time for breakfast’

Rosie the Robot tells George

Freshly picked sweet strawberries!

Nineteen eighty two

Lazy days at Grandma’s sta...

Fractured

Adele McLean

1 min read

Tether is broken

Hearts out in the world alone

Love breaks away now

We were much better

Then his deception arrived

Love’s not so honest

I thought us better

Though humans, not gods, are we

Stupid and simple

No one loves pain

Yet all of us create it

Decency is lost

Twenty three years now

Yet we know each other less

Sad how the years pass

Enjoy, love grows they say

But resentment rests here now

Tell your head to stop that shit

Follow natures sound

Breathe in life, laughter, levity, and love...

Disdain for Venezia

One you’d least expect.

‘To put bread on the table

for my wife and son.

Twenty-seven awful years,

mainland living suits me now.’

But look at the sights!

To the left, church of Mary,

To the right, sorbet.

‘Don’t worry about my thoughts,

your pleasure, my employer.’

Rowing and towing,

quiet ripples in canal,

lovely Sunday ride.

Cynicism won’t blind us.

Our sour, grumpy gondolier!...

Unfallen

Half-winged, still flies.

Soaring, living, healing now.

Be careful out there!

Solo wing surrounds,

rat race of life keeps us down.

Hear the angel sound!

Ancestors beauty,

Romans, Greeks, the Vatican.

Hear the ancient calls!

Too careful, you die.

Reckless, and alone you cry.

A wing, you still fly!...

Betrayal

Family they said

Save the farm and save their cash

Off the Christmas list

Family they said

Untruths behind my back

Tangerines no more

Family they said

My husband called it bullshit

Three of Hearts, mine breaks...
