One Man’s Ceiling

A long list of things have been said about this subject and I somehow still find myself adding to the list.

Around Sep-2021, I saw a text from 712 about a presidential son’s wife who used to be another person’s wife. You may know who I meant who this son is, right? if not, don’t ask, just continue reading. Reading the text, I texted back “one man’s treasure is another man’s trash,”

I was thinking about the current events in the country, around the world, the Ken’s and the Karens, the Pro and Anti, the red and the blue, the young and the old, the thin and the not-too-thin, what in the world is going on here?

Indeed what is going on? The news that day showed 2 men walked into CVS and walked away with a cartful of products without paying as the store keeper watched helplessly. Another news showing a lady emptying her order of hot-soup into the face of the cashier and cursing! What is going on?

Most of the time, fake news are more popular than real news. Who care about real news, they are unexciting and does not sell. I sat down, and started writing…

One man’s ceiling is another man’s floor,
Grab all you can, and you ask for more.
Cash is king and so they say,
In this time and age, it seem that way.

One mans’ pleasure is another man’s pain
In a world of Greed, no place for shame,
Lies and cheats, now you’re in the game
Silver and gold, now yours to claim

Why not…
Be a hand that reaches out and beyond
Be a smile for those with no reason to smile
Be a light for those who live in the dark
For we all need a little love from time to time

And the story goes…
One man’s loss is another man’s gain,
Lost and found, there you go again.
What’s yours is mine, or else I’ll try
Its just too easy, no one really knows why.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure
In a world of greed — success don’tt measure
Hold on to power, you think you’re so clever,
In plain reality, you were never better

So can we…
Be a hand that reaches way out and beyond
Be a smile for those with no reason to smile
Be a light for those who live in the dark
For we all need a little love from time to time

Here we go again…
One man’s wrong is another man’s lesson
Right is never wrong, in simple instruction
Stand for the right, even when you’re alone,
For in the very end, the truth be known

One man’s breadth is another man’s germ
Clinched to your skin, this invisible worm
Take a simple pinch, give a little more space
A little more patience with a cloth on your face
.

So why not…
Be the hand that reaches way out and beyond
Be the smile for those with no reasons to smile
Be a light for those who live in the dark
We all need a little love from time to time.

Oh let us…
Be the hand that reaches farther and beyond
Be a smile for those with no reason to smile
Be a light for those who live in the dark
We all need a little love from time to time


I have this poem sung and music created by my go-to artist Elliot Sheridan, and here it goes..
