Peace peace peace

When will we be getting some?

Peace peace peace

Can come from

The beat of a drum

Peace peace peace

Comes from a calm blue sky

Peace peace peace

Can arrive in the blink of an eye

Or leave just as fast

But not if

Balanced visions

are vibrant and vast 

**

Peace peace peace

When will we be sharing some?

Peace peace peace

Can come from

A guitar strum

Peace peace peace

Comes from blending colours

Peace peace peace

Can arrive

By loving all others

Or leave if we forget

That we need

Balanced feelings

for our safety net

*

So we catch everyone

**

If the sky is falling

We can save more of the world

By clearing our minds and then hauling

Every voice that is calling

Synthesize a vision

With a balance

that keeps out hate

We may have to wait

But after a while

Stop feeling vile suffering driving revenge

Find a smile with more strength

That quite plainly

makes more sense

For our humanity

**

Peace peace peace

When will we be getting some?

Peace peace peace

Can come from

When we sing and hum

Peace peace peace

Comes when we share and listen

Peace peace peace

Can arrive with

one group mission

Or leave if we split

But not if

Balanced feelings

Always return quick

I am a stranger to you

And that’s a danger to me

There is no way to get through

With what I have to say

*

There’s no way to share

What would benefit us both

There’s no way you will care

And you will never know

*

While I think I’m so smart

There is much more to learn

Like how to climb up to your fire

Without getting burned

**

You are a higher up

And I’m a further down low

There’s no way to get past that

So I have no where to go

*

There’s no way to share

While we’re in the same boat

I am much more aware

But you will never know

*

Though we think we are smart

There is much more to learn

Like how can strangers be trusted

And how can we share this world?

**

There is much more to learn

We have a universe

Packed with stuff

And sometimes

We can

Perfectly understand it

*

I can understand based

On what we all know

And from being pulled

Through life by an undertow

*

Strange what we learn

When it’s all for show

And then we learn what we learn

When we are getting down low

Or while we just make it through life

And go with the flow

**

I am a stranger to you

And that’s a danger to me

There is a way to get through

That’s what I have to say

*

It’s not exceedingly rare

But it benefits us both

it takes both of us to care

To bring solutions close

*

There’s a clear way to get smarter

And a clear way to learn

If we know strangers enough

Their perspective is observed

***

Hiding beneath the October moon

Secret thoughts

Actions unseen

by another living eye

Winding through forests

or above clouds

Creatures elusive

Prepare for the night

Hastened by Autumn reflections

Large in the sky

Flashing signs of full form

Days away from eclipse

A world blocking our view

**

Wicked lives

Crushing sacred visions

Known only for their plastic souls

Eyes behind images

Light up like fire

Aware only of the night

Until day burst through

Clamouring for our attention

Soon a time arrives

When all eyes look together

And see past the day and night

Past yesterday, today and tomorrow

Into our collective consciousness

**

Flying into the forbidden dream

Faster than a nightmare

Forgotten like we are falling trash

Clinging to branches of life

That have held us up this year

Frail from the Fall frost

We create a cool fire

A distraction

Dangerous only to the unprepared mind

And we sink our teeth

into the candy-coated moon

**

What we eat

Should not defeat our morals

We can push to make it better

Take care with what we are consuming

Forbid pain

In practical ways

With more heart

To make it more fair

Sacrifice harmful pleasure

Improve the balance over time

Reflect calm from the day

The sun

Always

Out of darkness

Emerges

The moon

**

Flying bats

And terrifying cats

There are

No living creatures without feeling

What we show on stage

Should not be an example

Unless promoting

More wellness than suffering

Screens are buffering

Kindness endearing

Hope more frequently appearing

Rhymes and song words

Should not be unheard

If they prevent

Harm, hate and fearing

**

A cool fire

A distraction

From dark night

The moon

Many suspect

that it changes our tune

If it’s full

Some reflect

It may get hectic real soon

But in my eyes it gives us

Power and energy

Majestic wolves croon

We can realize our urges

Not just dirges

Find magic and passion

Like the call of the loon

**

No stigma

Let’s have justice

Midnight or noon

Let us all be protected

Share respect for

All others

With the Sun in the day

And no matter how

Mysterious

Be brave

And don’t misconstrue

Good intentions obscured

*

Find strength in the light

Of the night’s brilliant moon

***

A storm

Reaches out into my day

Words are said

Into skies dark grey

*

A storm

Reaches out past the weather

Intense events cluster together

*

I speak out

Aiming to improve the situation

My ranting

Is presumed as sycophantic

And my heart sinks into my shoes

*

Along with puddles and raindrops

Dampening my views

**

Sun’s warmth

Reaches out into my day

Words are said

Into bright sun rays

*

Sun’s warmth

Reaches out past the weather

Calming events in our endeavour

*

I speak out

Aiming to improve the situation

My reason

Concludes with an advantage

And my heart floats into the blue

*

With wisps of clouds and birds flying

Lifting up my views

**

Moods change and so can views

With storms or sunny weather

Moods change and so can views

Of storms or sunny weather

It we climb up each day

To share our view

We can keep it all together

When people have their say

And share their view

We can keep us all together

Dont feel bad and don’t feel sad

We always have forever

There’s always change in the weather

**

Clouds form

Reaching out into my day

Words are said

Into the white and grey

*

Clarity forms

Reaching out past the weather

Brand new events happen forever

*

I speak out

Aiming to improve the situation

My angle

Renews yet it is all planned out

And my heart always beats on cue

*

Like thunder, lightning & the warm sun

Perpetuating my view

***

It doesn’t matter

How nuch we learn

There is always something new

Sometimes we get farther

Taking it slowly

But sometimes

when we are out in the world

No matter what speed we go

In the big picture

Between death and life

Sometimes there are things

We should be knowing

But don’t hold your breath

Some things won’t be showing

**

It really matters where you are

When it comes to your expertise

Sometimes you are smarter

Than you are showing

But sometimes when you are

out in the world

No matter how much you know

With all the chaos

All the stress and strife

Sometimes it’s harder

To keep on going

And the challenges

continue Growing

**

They say we are nothing

Compared to stars that are tall

in a system that’s falling

No provision for humanity

Unless we

take a stand to be

On our own

with more plans complete

To live well

And share everything

*

Then we are something

*

Deep battle scars

It’s not our fault

Coyotes calling

**

It doesn’t matter what we say

If it doesn’t impact a mind

Sometimes we are guarded

By staying low and

In those times when we are

out in the world

No matter how much we show

With all the conflict

It’s still best to drive

Sometimes it’s chartered

We just keep going

No way to impress

We just keep flowing

**

They say we are nothing

Compared to wars above all

In a system appalling 

No provision for humanity

Unless we

have planned to be

On our own

No demands to compete

To live well

Then share everything

*

So we are something

*

Between guns and cars

It’s not always our fault

Coyotes calling

***

Whatever

I said it

Does it matter to anyone?

*

Maybe it’s just me

*

And I’m still feeling fine

Maybe we don’t have to worry about it

And no one crossed the line

*

Let’s just get past it

And on with the day

We don’t have to think about

Everything

that comes our way

What was it again?

What did I say?

Whatever

**

Whatever

I try to reflect

Now we’re on the run

*

Maybe it’s just me

*

I must be going blind

Maybe we will make it through fine

No problem 

Just by focusing our mind

*

Let’s get down to it

And dial in our day

We may have to think deeper

About Life

that comes our way

What was it again?

What did I say?

**

I won’t say it then

It is not that clever

But if you say,

“We can’t make it better”

I’ll say,

“Whatever”

*

We can make life better

And balance best

Don’t just say, ”Whatever”

Work hard

And take care of the rest

*

End of the day

I must confess

Time to chill out

Time for a rest

Wait

Pop Quiz

Another test

Whatever

**

Whatever

Early dismissal

Now let’s be more fun

*

Maybe it’s just me

*

But I keep getting signs

Maybe we are on the same wave length again

There’s more energy to find

*

Let’s get through to it

And boost our day

We should really think about

Connections

That come our way

What was it again?

What did I say?

***

Poetry, love and peace

Written just off the cuff

I may act way different

than most people I know

They may think it’s messed up

Yet it won’t ever show

I think of new ways to chill

Just like I’m a pro

I’m sometimes a wonder

To the rest of the world

But they only hear thunder

When the lightening’s unfurled

**

Poetry, love and peace

Could be sent from above

It can seem so different

To some people I know

They think it’s a disgrace

And it won’t ever show

I think of new ways to thrill

Just like I’m a pro

Life may seem hard-wired

To understanding folk

But they won’t feel the fire

Unless somehow it’s stoked

**

Spiking down

From a nightmare

With stories to tell

Of intense days

*

Fires spread

But just a vision

Light saves us from Hell

A calming blaze

*

Drift along

In a daydream

But still seeing well

In practical ways

*

We are immersed

in the world around us

And surface to see

The universe than runs through us

Poetry, love and peace

**

Poetry, love and peace 

I just can’t get enough

It should make a difference

For the people I know

Some think I’m wasting time

And it is all for show

I think of new ways with skill

Just like I’m a pro

I may impress and save

People who are hotter

But they won’t catch the wave

Unless they’re in the water

**

We are all immersed

in the world around us

But surface to see

The universe

that runs through us

Poetry

Love and peace

**

Say a few words

Whatever you like

We will be listening 

While you hit new heights

*

Live up to the vision

You have the floor

We’ve made our decision 

We want some more

*

Don’t think for a moment 

That we don’t love you

If you could just hone it

We will be true

**

I’ve said many words

I hope that you like

Are you still listening?

I thought we were tight

*

How about my vision?

It’s pretty hard core

Is there something I’m missing?

Do you find me a bore?

*

Don’t think for a moment 

That I don’t love you

I try to just own in

And always be true

**

I want you over and over

I need you more and more

Say whatever you want

I’ve got more in store

*

I want you near and far

Like the moon and stars

When it’s

My dreams you haunt

I will never ignore

**

Say a few words

Whatever you like

We will be listening 

Try to make it alright

*

Live up to the mission

Work to end all war

Words with fine precision 

Can go straight to the core

*

Don’t think for a moment 

That my love is new

An eternal component 

Believe that it’s true

**

I see you over and over

I hear you more and more

Say whatever you want

As I open the door

*

I want you here and far

Like your tunes in cars

When it’s

Good dreams you flaunt

I will never ignore

***

No surprises?

*

I can’t promise

The universe is in control

*

Everything, everyone, everywhere

One massive infinite soul

Or just one micro-moment

Towards one indivisible goal

*

We are the time

We are the place

We are what’s in between

We are everything that’s shocking

We are a smooth-running machine

**

No good-byes yet

*

That I promise

All the science is clearly told

*

Everything, everyone, everywhere

Forever existing soul

Or just one quick split-second

Towards one more intuitive goal

*

We are all time

We are every place

We are dirty or clean

We are exactly what we are talking about

Like a Hollywood movie scene

**

Surprise!

I got you

Now it’s your turn

The more that we experience

The more we can learn

*

Goodbye

To what I lose

Now we get another turn

Goodbye to blind obedience

Hello to wellness that we learn

**

More sunrises?

*

I will promise

That is precisely how we roll

*

Everything, everyone, everywhere

One conscious instinctive soul

For just one simplified-eon

Towards one integrated goal

*

We are this time

We are this place

We are polluting and green

There is no angle I’m knocking

Being open

Keeps our minds pristine

**

Sunrise!

Is for you

Any which way you turn

Choose from

Religion, art and science

There are so many ways we can learn

***

Here we go again

It’s another Monday

Climb out of my

garden-planter and

into hard-earned pay

*

Out on the road by 8:30

Start the show by 9

Done at least by 12 hours later

Mondays are a grind

*

Sure I get some down-time

Usually

And when we’re busy

The days go fast

As fast as it goes it’s abusive

Yet I crush it

And the more privileged

Rip off my cash

*

Tuesday’s not as bad

Don’t work the extra respite

People seem to think

hard work is easy

If they don’t do it

They just don’t get it

*

Wednesday is halfway through

But I’m about ready to retire

Where’s a day’s work

that’s more fair for us?

I want to tend to a few desires

*

I hope that the irons

That I have in the fire

Turn out to be protection well-forged

I’ve had an incredible life

And could achieve greater things

But the system

Won’t offer support

*

Welcome to the work-week

Where we all have

some hard days

When I get up and speak

It often seems

Out of place

*

So here I am

in my own private world

I know I could be

in a much worse way

The good thing for sure

Is that we can find the Cure

We just have to

get through

This Thursday

*

Friday arrives

Bees still leave their hives

Birds still have to leave their nests

We are all alive

Don’t want to take a dive

But I must

get this off my chest…

*

Our work should balance

With fair quality of life

That’s overall

Not just the working class

We should all strive

To share ways to thrive

Every day of the week

Should have

More health that lasts
