I recently located my limit
(Although some would just call it Kismet)
Directly beneath a glass ceiling
Imposed by a self-righteous being
Who's name shall never be spoken
Lest his pact with the Devil be broken
My limit should involve a lawsuit
Instead was a Big n Tall Blue Suit
Rumpled from high blood pressure pulsing
Beneath his huge gut (repulsing!)
My limit has found eager freedom
From the Big and Tall blue suited kingdom
And so now in pajamas I work
Drinking coffee and muttering "jerk"
As I rip open a big fat paycheck
Not feeling that throbbing in my neck
And grateful for a newly minted life
Free from the twisting back-knife
My new limit is far in the distance
It's my life, now I'm gonna dance!

Poetry: Limits
Almighty God who stopped the sea,
And said that here the end must be;
Limited the number of stars,
And said to us that these
Life
Life has got to end somewhere,
Why not here, why not there?
Time has got to stop sometime,
Why not now in it's prime?
Everyone
Limits reached, moving on
Rising up like the dawn
It's not bad in fact it's good
Now I'll find what I feel I should
It's times
by Michael York
When you lift the weight,
envision any number of people,
filled with sadness and dependent on the quest for knowledge.
After
when i'm not bound with chains
i know i have no limits
when my legs are still strong
i'm confident i have no limits
my lips
