Why Can’t We Connect?

Hello to the person

that is out of reach

*

The person that can’t hear me

The person beside me

The person above

All of us agree

Love is more than a fashion

It lasts longer with compassion 

Why can’t we connect?

*

Is it because of the rules?

Written and imagined

Or because I am just on

another intense tangent

Is it because the situation

Is a bad subject

That we can’t protect

So you object?

**

They can’t hear what I’m saying 

So I can’t see it through

The rest of us are paying

Because they won’t make a move

**

Hello to the person

that works for peace

*

A person that shouldn’t fear me

The person next in line

The person beneath

All of us try to

Breathe more good sense and ration

We show true grit and compassion 

Why can’t we connect?

*

Is it because we break rules

Written and in action

Just because in some ways

we share lots of truth and passion

Is it because the demonstration 

Pays greater respect

To what we can’t protect

So you object?

**

If you can confirm

what I am saying 

Then we can make it through

When our patience is staying

Then we can make a move

***

Believe Forever

Allure of the day

and places far away

Follow a path over hills

and vast mountains

*

Find our gratitude

For things old and new

The moon dives way down low

The sun is always rounding

**

Over and over

The Earth rolls

Days and nights

Come and go

*

We try to understand

what we believe

This helps us to believe better

*

We feel all that we know

Whether it’s all for show

Or if it is the fabric

that keeps us together

**

The cure for the day

We are saved by sun rays

Swallow water for our pills

Without drowning 

*

Find good attitude

For things that we do

The sun arrives and glows

The moon is always rebounding

**

Over and over

The Earth rolls

Days and nights

Come and go

*

Seasons breathing

Hot and cold

Days and years

Come and go

*

We try to understand

what we believe

It helps us to believe more

*

We learn all that we know

Whether it all goes by slow

Or if we wash up faster

And arrive on the shore

**

The purest of days

We all crave a new phase

Shallow breaths for the next thrill

Excitement mounting

*

When we are in the mood

For things that are true

The moon is nice as it goes

The sun is always resounding

**

Over and over

The Earth rolls

Days and nights

Come and go

*

We try to understand

what we believe

It helps us to believe forever

No Bad Vibes

I listen to the bad vibes

I don’t want to know them anymore

My preference is for indifference

But I can’t ignore them

when they are

so hard core

*

I want to determine the impact

Or at least what to expect

If I extinguish anxiety

I enable good outcomes to connect

**

If I still feel the bad vibes

I will have to know them better

My preference is for no suffering

Not for anyone

We conquer stress

together

*

I want to understand the problem

And find good ways to protect

When I stay calm and defy the scene

It’s just the bad vibes I have to reject

**

I turn it around

And think more objectively

If I hear a sound

Or see a sight

That gives me bad vibes

I try to deflect the scene

Turn it around

And reflect with peace

Then work through it

And accept the challenge

I may also have to set if free

Just let it be

But I won’t let it get to me

**

Sometimes I just get bad vibes

I start to know them as a sign

My preference is for a reference 

I won’t ignore them

But just think of them in time

*

I want to influence an outcome

With better ways to reflect

When I eliminate biased beliefs

I find more success

keeps my nerves in check

**

I turn it around

And think more effectively

If I hear a sound

Or see a sight

That gives me bad vibes

I will not subject the scene

But turn it around

And project with peace

Start work for it

And select a challenge

I may also have to set it free

Just let it be

But I won’t let them get to me

No bad vibes

Reason for the Team

Open season

To my reason

I have got the go ahead

To take a shot

At ridiculous world brawls

That make good people fall and crawl

It is easier

To form one big team

**

Open a lease on

Life appeasing

Becoming manageable instead

We don’t get hot

Life cools us down overall

More help answers when we call

It is easier

When we join the team

**

Open season

On my reason

You have got the go ahead

To take a shot

At impervious high walls

The integrity won’t fall

It is easier

To just join the team

**

It is pleasing

Enemies freezing

Becoming allies instead

We don’t get hot

Life warm us up overall

More help answers when we call

It is easier

When we join the team

**

Life just happens

We have captains

We should

all feel well-aligned

Now truth be known

Our life’s on loan

Choose carefully

how we spend our time

*

Choose what’s fair

Choose to care

Choose reasons that 

connect our life

To a better time

**

Open season

For our reason

We have got the go ahead

To take a shot

With more energy that hauls

Find a story that enthrals

It is easier

To form one big team

*

It’s much easier than it seems

When we

try to understand

the other side more

Lean carefully

but still stay true to

our most inner core

And confidently

open up the door

To reason

This season

Absolute Zero or Unsung Hero

Hello

How are you?

Long time no see

I’ve been under the dirt

Under a tree

Now I’m on a park bench

as clear as can be

Somehow some way you should

Come visit me

**

Most people treat me like

an absolute zero

But with the load I’ve been hauling

For years I’ve been crawling

Amidst feet that are falling

And I am never stalling

I’m an unsung hero

**

Do you want to come near so

You can hear me more clear? Yo

Please don’t fear tears though

I will not

fall through the cracks

I will make it back

If you just

cut me some slack

Build me up

Instead of burying me deep

You have skills enough

To be wary of a creep

*

And I am not that

Actually in fact

I am more than an insect

With the world on my back

**

Some people treat me like

an absolute zero

But with the weight I’ve been bearing

For years I’ve been caring

Amidst eyes that are staring

And they are never sharing

I’m an unsung hero

**

Can you please come near so

You can hear me more clear Yo

I don’t fear tears so

I’m not

Scared of their attack

I always watch my back

So why don’t you cut me some slack?

Build me up

Instead of squashing me flat

You have skills enough

To have time for a chat?

With Everything We Do

Respect for the reasons

For everything we do

We may roll like thunder

Or shine bright in the blue

*

We crash like waves

down on the beach

Swim fast until the shore

comes into reach

*

We heat up like

the very best part of the day

But stay cool within

Because there is

No other way

**

There is a good reason

For everything we do

We may rise like mountains

And find a pathway through

*

We stand so strong

Like forest trees

And share the true colours

that we believe

*

We appeal for

The moment and for all of time

There is no fooling 

Because we

lay it

on the line

**

Lightening flashes

The sun is stronger

One season splashes

Then it stays dry longer

*

The mountains won’t move

Forests are in use

The homes of creatures

And many features

Should be the ones we choose

Homes that soothe

To help us all improve

Do what we can do

With everything we do

**

It goes beyond reason

Past everything we do

We may reach like cities

For a much better view

*

We buzz like wires

above the streets

Raise up buildings until

the sky’s complete

*

We have many

challenges that others

won’t know

Like unwritten rules

I guess that’s just

the way it goes

**

Nighttime passes

The sun stays longer

The season blasts us

But our will is stronger

*

The Earth always moves

Day and night are proof

The home of creatures

And many features

Is the one we can‘t lose

Home that soothes

To help us all improve

Do what we can do

With everything we do

***

Connected

There were some circumstances 

We missed some chances

To communicate

In the most productive way

We always cared

More love we shared

Clearly when we said

our last goodbye

We were strong

And atill trying

Never ending

Life surprising

Can never hide it

I miss you man

I’m sure you understand

*

Let’s make a new plan together

*

We still have forever 

Memories last that long

Frozen in time

But then melting

And the future has more

That have not been felt yet

*

Proudly my tears fall

as I know it’s going to be alright

We win fights

Some of us win

just by being

Connected

For the Best (Sharing Causes)

You could make my day

so much better

By being on the same page

as me

Especially a smile

can take me for miles

A moment of cheer

can last for a year

as I think about

when we are each

on our own missions

But share the same vision

There is no doubt

It is working out

One way or another

**

Then my day got so much worse

Because you

totally brushed me off

But only for a while

That is not your style

There’s nothing to fear

We hold our peace dear

As I think about

How we share many similar goals

Way deep down in our souls

There is no doubt

It should eventually

work out for the better

**

Every day it all works out

One way or another

Some ways

are better than others

*

Without a doubt

We do what we can

To follow a plan

And take a stand

So it works in our favour

*

Good love is a saviour

A better behaviour

**

Help the day work out for the best

Savour each moment that we feel sure

Find our favourite program file

In our brain there’s a pile

The plan becomes clear

Put it in high gear

As we realize

In our minds

We are our own bosses

*

When we all share causes

there is no doubt

It will work out for the best

What is the World Coming to?

What is this world coming to?

And I’m an optimist

So many people still prefer

to rule with an iron fist

They throw logic out the window

And cross kindness off the list

Because they won’t risk

Caring

Since there is something

they might miss

*

Something for themselves

It’s understandable

Unless there’s

Surplus on their shelves

And there is plenty more

where that came from

Yet they

keep others

locked up so tight

In thoughtless economic cells

*

Not because

the keepers of the classes

Can’t afford to help

But because they might be blind

Or just unfair and

lazier than hell

**

What is this world coming to?

And I’m a sinner as well

So many people perpetuate greed

it grows hard to tell

Don’t throw honesty out the window

Instead climb out of our shell

Maybe you can’t sell

compassion

But they might listen if we yell

*

Something for ourselves

It’s understandable

Because

nothing else seems to help

And we have to convey

to all of them

That we can create

way more light

thoughtfully answering

wishing wells

*

If we try

We can save more of the masses 

Just because it would be kind

To keep us all

Out of 

A living hell

***

Just an Expression

Who did I wrong?

Did I wrong anyone?

Let me atone for mistakes

That can’t be undone

Because there is a perspective

That’s got me on the run

To get back to you

And the world that has

quickly spun

*

Spinning

You hit me

And fast I am buried

Now I can’t give to you

Explanations that I’ve carried

**

Don’t get me wrong?

Does it seem wrong to anyone?

I will own my mistakes

That I’ve left undone

Because there is a clear reason

That I have close to none

When I get back to you

Our best intentions will have won

*

Winning?

You get me?

Yet you still seem wary

Now I will give to you

Opinions that are so varied

**

Think one way or think another

Don’t bet it all on assumptions

We will all find redemption

Just have some gumption

See the world through

Until the answers all seem true

And peace and love

Have all of you

**

How is this wrong?

This is not wrong to anyone

I did not know my mistakes

So I was undone

Now there is a situation

That is really no fun

Can you get back to me?

Find the truth

You will be stunned

*

Stunning

You hear me?

The note I have carried?

One thing I can give to you

Expresson beyond comparing
