Depression is the mother of all disease
love your mother
but not disease

when one is idle with no work
at hand
sing a song
or
join a band

else dance alone
if you have to
exercise your body and mind
you must too

stay healthy
of mind and heart
keep them besides you
as life’s inevitable part

Style / type: 
Free verse

More wise words. I like them. If you read my poem "Madness in the rain" you will see that I do keep my mind and heart healthy. Thank you.

put on some righteous music like Funker Vogt Arising Hero
or some trance rock..female muse singing...
tidy up my place..rather then groan
or moan...think of the positive of my life
Like no criminal record
a job..many female friends and male
nice things that I saved and worked
for or was gifted by admirers
a beautiful nature trail too take dog
for walks....
Work....I have to work hard to get
out of a lousy attitude sometimes
the depression hits me like bricks
but I keep busy...errand running
a visit too the dock too see the islands
meeting people who nod ..say hello
so many sour pusses out here...
why bother living then if so negative

I smile...meet new friends
invent new meals with my meagre
rations from the food bank
help out my chums...

it always works...

so many people blowing off
their own heads or making others
blow their own off through
bullying or negative power trips
ha....bullshitters

not me..I work for the good
and cover my own ass!

great poem...

thank U!

why was ?
you esker still are
and foreever will be
thanks for reading my pieces
some others will also enjoy my slices
I was about to remove
some unread ones
as desired by others

i write every day or therabouts
I have a majority that people have
commented on
I do not have a mass majority on
unread...It appears that way
And some do not write at all
giving some excuse
We should demand they write
before they speak
Work is the worth I say
it is easier for some too demand
others to bow before they
then They to construct works
which have just as much accumulation
on the commented side
then the Undiscovered which I am
working through to make them visible
All poems I am finding are very great
poems!
as for my own! they are gems
and treasures that are complex
encoded and written as too be
rather curiosities...but many
have pm'd me saying they love
them but find it hard to say anything
of that style of work..as for the
rest of my works...MANY MANY
have found comments from
the other poets here!
I have equal amount of time
to write poetry as I do to comment
on poetry...
I find few that I can put down
as I see the creative effort
and genius of each poet
with his her gift they are
sharing here by being a productive
member by producing work
be a hard place to promote
with little work for people to
read...
Come to my site where there is
but three poems
ha...some site...
come to my site there there
is a thousand poems
you will like equal half good
and half a mystery
I offer to offer a choice

thank U

We should demand they write
before they speak

superb
