poem of the day July 16 

Maximizing

for success 

The need 

to get everything

out of something

Don't leave 

anything behind

Pick them all  

Maximise the potential

Words I have heard

over and over again

on popular talk shows

spouting out of the lips of celebrity

self help gurus from

all walks of life

Why is that a good thing

to maximize  everything?

To take more than you need

To take the very last one

How does that 

help anybody but you?

Wouldn't it be better

just to take enough

leave something

for others

like a friendship circle

Why I am even guilty

I just threw away a long

forgotten rotting

refrigerator experiment

A once delicious 

moldy breaded chicken

even the dogs would not eat

Could have fed two people
