What Charles Can’t Say Anymore

Audio Recordings, News / tagged Coronation, King Charles, Leadership, Queen Elizabeth, Royal Family / May 5, 2023 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

The planet it warming
the rain forest is burning
much modern architecture sucks

When you get to be the king
you no longer get to do your thing
at least not the way you used to do it

Unlike his mom he can't just wear
a suit of yellow and flower of blue
to show Ukraine that his heart is there

They say his mother never set a foot wrong

This may be a little too much to expect
perhaps he will have to get by remembering
the worlds of his mentor Laurens van Der Post

"If I look after the footsteps, and lengthen my stride, the miles will take care of themselves"

You Can’t Steer from Steerage

Audio Recordings, Personal Growth, Travel / tagged Destiny, Leadership / September 21, 2022 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

The bottom of the boat
doesn’t get a vote

You may be escaping chains
or in them

You may be traveling
to a whole new world
where all of this is
supposed to change

Someday you
might become the captain
