Gosh, I didn't want to go first, but this came to me. Hope it works.
Mass What?
She saw him everyday as she skirted into the coffee shop for her latte,
him, with his same glazed eyes, like the glazed donut that just sat there on his plate.
He really should get a life she thought...wake up, smell the coffee mister,
always, the newspaper laid out in front of him.
She clicked her fingernails on the counter and looked at her watch,
ah, extra time today, and so she sat at a table next to him, flitting through
the pages of her Cosmo, looking for new techniques she would never get to use,
constantly looking his way hoping she could engage him with her hip effervescence.
Finally, she could stand it no longer, and with her biggest smile, said,
"So, what are you reading?"
Slowly he glanced her way and looked her over, straightening his glasses,
he lifted the newspaper showing the headline, Mass Evasion in U.S.A.
Her eyes grew wide as her breath caught in her throat, "When did this happen?!"
A small smile touched his lips as he laid the paper back down on the table,
and she, checking her watch again, jumped up saying,
"Well, I'm sure our military will nip THAT in the bud! Gotta run! Nice talking to you."
He watched her race out the door and as he picked up his glazed donut he thought,
like a charm, like a charm.

Oh, how sad.
The poor dears.
May God bless them.
Did you hear that * got a promotion?
We’re planning a cruise to celebrate!
What a pity.
Yes, the poor are always with us.
It’s a good thing there’s a social program for those people.
Well, we’ve been blessed again
Another baby on the way!
Don’t look dear-
Just keep walking and don’t even think of giving him a dollar.
He’ll just spend it on cheep liquor.
Honey, look at the new drapes that just came in
I may have to change to sofa to match.
Apathy
Who knows?
Who cares?
Is it really my concern?
Am I my brother’s keeper—?
Go and ask him for yourself!
Oh, whatever!!
Are you writing a book?
Yeah, well, that’s how it goes.
You learn fast that life ain’t fair.
What does it bleeping look like?
Sure, sure. Right.
Un-huh.
Look, it’s my life, OK?
So that was back in your day, old man.
This is now; things are a whole lot different!
Of course I know what I’m doing!
Do you see “stupid” written up here?
Sheesh!
Um, hey Dad?
You got a minute?
Well, I kinda messed up here, a little.
Um, yeah, you could say that.
How long will it take you to get here?
Yeah, I’ll be waiting.
Thanks, Dad.
Love you, too, Dad, love you too…

Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Great you guys!

i hate writers block

Turn the channel,
I can’t look at that.
“Can we send money?”
Turn the channel,
Find something else.
I’m trying to eat
And I can’t watch that.
“But the babies are crying.
They are hungry and cold.
Can we send money?
I have some of my own.”
Turn the channel,
I can’t see that.
It ruins my sleep
And I need my rest.
“But they look so sad
And I have a bank
Filled with nickels and dimes
I don’t need it at all.”
Turn the channel,
I don’t want to know.
Be a good boy now
And do as your told.

How about..."Hidden"Originally Posted by Granny5
There is a word that is hidden from each of us.
A different word for you and me.
Our own sacred “rosebud” or Open, Sesame!
It is there on the tip of our soul’s
aching tongue, that longs to proclaim it.
We might see a stranger on the street
and want to call out: Sister! Or Brother...
But that isn’t it, exactly.
Or to the wounded child within us
we might want to say “There, there...”
But that isn’t it, exactly, either.
What is the word?
Can you provide it to me,
or must I still go on searching?
