Disappear (a #poem)

So what if she made him cry 

tears of sadness 

have a right to exist

At least as much 

as happy tears

Which she brought out

with a nod and a smile 

with a look without fear

And the fear,

that restless feeling?

They made it disappear

Protect the children!

A few children died because of lawn darts and Kinder Surpirse Eggs. So those children's toys got banned. Smuggling a chocolate egg into the USA is punishable by a $2,500 fine. Per egg.

The ban on lawn darts and Kinder Eggs was implemented without any fuss or any politician crying it was absurd. Because not a single US politician had shares in the companies that produced and sold them.

Now you know why other stuff that kills children won't get banned.

Since the US government banned the sale of laws darts in 1988, not a single child died from the deadly stuff. 

Despite people screaming "Yeah, but criminals will get their hands on them anyway!" and "It's not the lawn dart that kills but the thrower!"

Do you think a government should ban something if it could kill children? Except for cars and guns?

Staring at the moon from an open bedroom window (a #CirclePoem)

Staring at the moon 

from an open bedroom window 

he realised the moon

doesn't have to be full 

to enjoy her company. 

Which he did. 

Happiness was a fleeting feeling 

but contentment lingers on

and moments like these 

could always be recalled. 

And so he smiled 

thinking of that moment 

his arm around her shoulders 

and them 

staring at the moon 

from an open bedroom window
