That I can sit here

With comfort

And happiness

While there is none there

*

It seems unfair

A far worse life takes hold

*

I can make an effort

To reach out

For the world around me

**

Hope is boundless

Time and space

are incomplete

Past the sky

or on the ground here

All I can see

Will stay or change

Depending on me

**

That I can sit here

With comfort

And happiness

While there is none there

*

What happens there

is beyond my control

But I can make an effort

To reach out

For the world around me

**

Hope is boundless

Time and space

are incomplete

Even the sky

and the mountains

River and tree

Will stay and change

Eventually

**

The universe holds us

The Earth is immaculate

Nightmares smash lives

While we rest in a day dream

The universe is unfolding

There is

something beyond that

The world holds many lives

Find a positive impact

**

Hope is boundless

Time and space

are incomplete

Stars in the sky

We are counting

The ones

we can see

will stay or change

Reach out

So more life is free

***

I’m always thinking about

Super practical stuff

Like how to stay happy

And how to nurture our love

In the back of my mind

Sometimes I find

The most amazing solutions

Such as: Just being kind

**

I pay attention to

the day to day

Because there never will be another way

But I also notice

an intricate design

And explore it in 

the back of my mind

**

I’m always thinking about

Super important stuff

Like how to be happy

And how to be deep in love

In the back of my mind

Sometimes I find

The most amazing solutions

Like: Just finding the time

**

I pay attention to work, rest and play

Because there really is no other way

But I also notice a transcendent design

And explore it

In the back of my mind

**

I open doors

To escape wars

*

I crash thru walls

That always fall

*

I hit the roof

When I choose

*

And to help me find

the bright daylight

Or clamber thru

The darkest night

I bide my time

In the back of my mind

So I can find

The best design

For better days

**

I’m always thinking about

Super radical stuff

Like how to be more happy

And how to always have love

In the back of my mind

Sometimes I find

The most amazing solutions

Just following the signs

**

To never want more

Than what’s at my core

*

To hear the calls

If I have it all

*

Either win or lose

Work to improve

*

And to help me find

More bright insight

To get us through

The darkest fights

I guide my time

In the back of my mind

So I can find

The best design

For better days

***

Moments of brilliance

Defeated by mediocre efforts

Pull the moments together

Don’t be so reckless

Daily responsibility denies the art

We work to perfect the lost soul and heart

Revision corrects what we lost at the start

Understanding grows

To become smart

Imagine finding truth 

Grinding rocks down to a gem

That we add to our cart

**

Moments so smart

Halted by uninspired reform

Pull the moments apart

Don’t aim for the norm

Religious experience

Denies that science

Correctly rejects absurd alliance

Suspicious assertion

Spurs defiance

Understanding grows

Changes reliance

Imagine finding truth blinding

Others’ strong systems

With our new appliance

**

Moments in time

Art and science align

Like the stars in the skies

When we see with our minds

Then open our eyes

To all that we find

If we close doors to perception

Our lives fall behind

*

Be open to who we are

Don’t get lost

In blind obedience

Learn to trust what’s best for all

When we find our own experience

**

Moments of resilience

Pushing past disbelieving people

Pull the moments forward

Don’t act so evil

Like when social pretences deny our health

Please aim to protect us all with kind wealth

Decisions to reach out make more of us well

Understanding grows

Makes life less like hell

Imagine finding truth winding up the crème de la crème 

And life needs nothing else

**

Moments in time

Health and society align

Like the stars in the skies

When we care with our minds

Then open our eyes

To everyone we find

If we close our heart to compassion

Our lives fall behind

*

Be open to who we are

Don’t get lost

In blind fear so tense

Learn to trust the best of us all

And be kind to all

All experience

***

Here I am

Do you give a damn?

*

I’m working hard

To treat us right

*

Caring always comes naturally

Hope what we want

turns out alright

*

If nothing else

We could still share the wealth

As we fight to stay above water

*

The temperature out here is either

cold as ice

Or too hot and getting hotter

**

I picture that we all get along

Like in some science-fiction movie

-*

All connected to what we want

A world that feels so soothing

*

Then the monster rears it’s head

But just for our private viewing

*

Seems now our nerves

are all shot

And the scene ends in ruins

*

What else should we be doing?

**

Here I am

What is the plan?

*

I’m working hard

To see the light

*

Sometimes it

seems to come naturally

Other times we 

Really have to fight

*

Then someone else

Finds a way to share health

But it’s far away across the water

*

The proximity to healing is either 

Within sight

Or so far it gets forgotten

**

I envision that we all get along

Like in some comedy and action movies

*

All sure we will get what we want

A world that keeps improving

*

Then the villain has a hold

But only in our private viewing

*

Seems now these thrills

Mean a lot

The scene could use reviewing

*

What should we be doing?

**

We should be sharing our views

And accepting others’

No matter what it is

Consider what it covers

If it is harmful

Then reject it

Or heal the issue

With new ways to discover

Think about the scene here

And try to help out one another

*

Easy to say but hard to do

Always accepting others

While getting our point thru

**

Here I am

Please try to understand

*

I’m working hard

To keep insight

Many times it

comes so naturally

Other times it seems

I am not right

*

Then someone else

Has a solution to sell

Like a bridge over troubled water

*

The speed of traffic out here

is either slow at that price

Or too fast for us

at full throttle

**

I picture that we all get along

Like in some documentary movie

*

All learning to share what we want

To keep our industries booming

*

Then the narrator takes a stand

That we see in our own private viewing

*

Seems now our attention is caught

Scenes in life are congruent

*

This is what we should be doing

**

We should be refining our views

While allowing others

Sure it depends what it is

With patience we discover

If it is harmful

Then reject it

Or heal the issue

With new ways to develop

Think about the scene here

And try to help out one another

*

Easy to say but hard to do

Allowing perspectives of others

We can share a world view

***

I can’t help?

I’m an insect

A fly on the wall

*

I can see what’s been happening

when I reach out and call

*

I’m lost in the woodwork

Roots hold me down to the ground

The head of the town

Tramples forests and mountains

When they come around

They don’t notice the buzz in the air

And they don’t seem to care

**

They are protected

With a screen and by a crown

They may ignore completely

Or hover over and pound

They are being unfair

But some don’t even know

We share the same air

Think they’re fast

But they’re slow

They are humans unaware

*

We are every living creature

And the river’s undertow

**

They hide behind walls

Like I do myself

We work hard for our living

They just want more wealth

I’m denied when I crawl

But they are beaten down and broken

It’s so convenient that the system

sets back loving words spoken

Brush us off

we are all a nuisance

With feelings and soul

I honestly sense

Karma’s patience grows old

**

Talk the talk

Walk the walk

I’ve been here before

It’s a lovely place

It is freedom’s shore

People were killed so you could be born

And many still suffer because of our scorn

We have a hard world

But our worlds is not torn

Like so many before us

Covered in orange

**

I can’t help?

I’m a reptile

A snake in the grass

I can see what’s been happening

And I’ll take a hard pass

I won’t crawl under a rock

I work to cover more ground

The country we “found”

Has forests and mountains

Will humanity rebound?

They don’t notice the lies being told

Or the souls that are sold

**

Some find protection

Being mean, wearing a frown

They may ignore completely

Or stay above and push down

They are being too cold

But some don’t even know

While they’ve been told

Think they are fast

But they are slow

They think that they are “in the fold”

*

We are every living creature

And the bright sun’s warmest glow

**

They hide in the grass

Like I do myself

We work hard for our living

And care for our health

I still smile when I crawl

So I don’t feel beaten down and broken

It’s ridiculous that the system

sets back loving words spoken

Brush us off

We are all a bad joke

With feelings and soul

It is common sense

Humanity should not be bought and sold

**

Talk the talk

Walk the walk

They were here before

It’s a permanent place

For some: Freedom no more

People were killed

Hope will be reborn

Yet many suffer more

because of our scorn

This is everyone’s world

But their world is torn

Help culture restore

Show up in orange

**

I can’t help?

I’m human

A man with a plan

I can see what’s been happening

just how I understand

We work on this project

Can we get it off the ground?

Try to share what we’ve found

Cities, forests and mountains

All come with a sound

While injustice is the buzz in the air

Hope folks can change

And start taking care

**

We can protect more

Living beings all around

We can’t ignore completely

Real feelings we can’t discount

I mean come on: fair is fair

Make it all that we know

We must clear the air

Think we are Fast

But we are slow

Make more people aware

*

We are every living creature

Science and religion will show

**

They hide in the plans

Like I do myself

We work hard for our living

With our books on a shelf

I’ve decided, I’ll crawl

So no one is beaten down and broken

I’m just here to see that the system

won’t set back loving words spoken

Brush us off

we are all abusive

With feelings and soul

It makes perfect sense

No one should be left out in the cold

**

Talk the talk

Walk the walk

We will live before

It’s a beautiful place

True freedom’s hard core

People were killed

so we could be born

No living being should suffer

And never through scorn

Their is only one world

Aim for a world

Where no mind is torn

With days to restore

Respect in orange

Every second we are feeling

We are learning

We are worth it

*

Every minute we are breathing

We are living

We are working

All the time

*

Just to breathe

We are existing

Here on Earth as

Feeling beings

If we think we are

*

Because just to think is to be

That includes you and me

Everyone and everything

**

Some have more

Some have less

I want more

I must confess

*

But seems to me

It would be best

If those with less

Start to come first

With content get blessed

Give them more

All that’s in store

So they feel alright

And don’t have to fight

For what many take for granted

Utilize the rest

We need to plan it

**

Every second we are dealing

We are learning

We are worth it

*

Every minute we are believing

We are living

We are working

All the time

*

Just believe

We must be caring

Here on Earth

Aware as beings

Do we think we are?

*

Because just to think

makes us free

So care more for you and me

Everyone and everything

**

Fuck the lies

The half-ass tries

We need to work together

To make a difference

*

Summon all your strength

Go the extra length

Extend your hand

To make a difference

*

Push for what is fair

Prove that you care

Don’t let them lie all the time

And act unaware

True care will make a difference

**

To the higher ups:

Fill the cups

Shut up

And buck up

Don’t tell me it’s

up to the middle class

*

We are sore and hurting

And you are flirting

With the true God’s wrath

That will kick YOUR ass

**

Some have more

Some have less

I want more

I must confess

*

But seems to me

It would be best

If those with less

Start to come first

With content get blessed

Give them more

All that’s in store

So they feel alright

And don’t have to fight

For what many take for granted

Utilize the rest

That’s on this planet

**

Every second we are kneeling

We are learning

We are worth it

*

Every minute we are seething

We are living

We are working

All the time

*

Just to seethe

We are straining

Here on Earth as

Feeling beings

We must think we are

Because just to think is reality

That must include you and me

Everyone and everything

Everything I wanna be is

Everything I got to be

Do do do do do do

Everything I wanna say is

Everything I got to say

Do do do do do do

You can’t take that from me

I’ve got to be free

Do do do do do do

*

Every day

we make our way

All the time we keep on trying

Do do do do do do

**

We do our best to pass each test

We work so hard from the start

No one does it

more from the heart

That’s why we have to

stay on guard

For those around

that are sick but smart

Help to keep

their bad plans apart

from people

Just trying to find health

That don’t have

the same wealth

That are kept down

by the hand they’re dealt

When higher ups

won’t play fair

Because they don’t have to

And they don’t care

It’s gross and evil

They should become aware

Do do do do do do

**

Everything I wanna be is

Everything I got to be

Do do do do do do

Everything I wanna say is

Everything I got to say

Do do do do do do

You can’t take that from me

I’ve got to be free

Do do do do do do

*

Every day

we make our way

All the time we keep on trying

Do do do do do do

**

We break our backs and still get taxed

We work more days with no praise

No one sees that

It hardly pays

That’s why we have to lift the haze

For those around

that just slack and laze

Help to change

their unethical ways

for people

Just trying to find health

That don’t have

the same sort of wealth

And are ignored

Along with what they’ve felt

When higher ups

won’t be kind

Because they don’t have to

And they don’t mind

It’s wrong and awful

They should find the time

Do do do do do do

Do do do do do do

**

All we need to do

Is find ways to be true

To the heart

And the labour

Of those that never waver

Give up some small change

So that we can rearrange

And find better ways

to be fair and free

For all of us and you and me

Do do do do do do

Do do do do do do

***

Longing for the sunrise

Clouds swarm the horizon

While I writhe

Beneath the sea

I’m in a stormy dream

That only I have eyes on

*

Deepest darkest fears

A crow reaches my ears

My eyes flutter open

Into this new sky’s dawn

*

No way to forget the night’s long

And hidden turmoil

Until the Raven’s cry’s done

**

Super connection

We make life happen

Across the changing sky

Because we see

Eye to eye

*

Intense connection

When peace finds protection

*

Black thunder clouds roll by

Forgotten riverbeds are dry

Kind darkness starts to cry

New current rises higher

We make life happen

And across the world we find

Life begins to thrive

Now we feel alive

**

Stretching for new truth

And the end to illusion

While I prove

Everything I see

I find reality

By embracing the new sun

*

Highest brightest gears

When thick clouds start to clear

From blue to sun’s explosion

Into a brilliant fusion

*

No way to forget the new song, lighting up the shadows

Now we get our groove on

**

Super connection

We make life happen

Embrace the shaking Earth

We hold tight

For all it’s worth

Now our days arrive

*

Super connection

We make life happen

Calm the raging sea

We find

Everything we need

*

Intense connection

When peace finds protection

*

Icy mountaintops now gleam 

Cold creeks form a stream

Kind forests starts to breathe

New seasons share our needs

We make life happen

And across the world we feel

Life becoming real

*

We wake up from a dream

Just to find another

A nightmare becomes history

A kind world will be discovered

***

On many days

I phrase life in new ways

But it doesn’t mean a thing

Unless I get to the base

If I don’t like my thoughts

Because they are sad to me

I try to be creative and constructive

It leads me

this way

through the daily maze

Problem solved

Poetry is a passion

*

But better protect

Many people reject

Poetry

**

So many days

I chase someone’s praise

But it doesn’t mean a thing

Unless my work is aced

Some don’t like my thoughts

Because they clash for them

They may seem frivolous and repulsive

It keeps me busy

And my interest stays

Sorry if that seems self-indulgent

*

I have to reflect

I hope they don’t reject

Poetry

**

Don’t tell me what the rules are

Or take these words

Out of context

Best to take them

with a grain of salt

That’s just being honest

I can dispense it

No need for apprehension

against my language

Of blood, sweat and tears

It’s not my fault

it’s offensive to your senses

The iron between us lasts

All the years

**

With many days

I raise hell for this place

But it doesn’t mean a thing

Unless it’s all in good taste

If you don’t like my thoughts

Because they seem wrong for us

I argue for potential that’s productive

It brings me

Today

And all time and space

*

For all involved

Poetry is a passion

***

When summer has

Come and gone

We still love what it brought us

Never cold for a moment

Unless inside

Some AC caught us

We cling to the sunflower

Better than ice cream

that I bought us

Just to look and see

The growing green

The yellow petals

And face there is a lot of

It’s Fall now

Not as hot as our Summer dreams

**

When Autumn has

Come and gone

We still love what it brought us

Never bored for a moment

Unless inside

A dull school taught us

We cling to Halloween

Better with candy

that I bought us

Just to look and see

The wicked sheen

The orange pumpkins

And faces there are a lot of

It’s Winter now

It can’t rot

Our Autumn dreams

**

When Winter has

Come and gone

We still love what it brought us

Never too hot for a moment

Unless inside

A yuletide fire caught us

We cling to Xmas time

Presents red and green

that I bought us

Just to look and see

The child’s gleam

In their shining eyes

Faces there are a lot of

It’s Springtime now

But nothing tops our Winter dreams

**

When spring has

Come and gone

We still love what it brought us

Never dull for a moment

Unless inside

A rainy day caught us

We cling to the new flowers

Better with the deep clean

that time brought us

Just to look and see

The growing green

The coloured petals

And faces there are a lot of

It’s Summer now

Not forgot

Are our springtime dreams

**

All year round

We share our dreams

Seasons change

But it stays the same, it seems

*

If we keep on loving life more

Fill up the spaces in between

Work to find bright faces

And never become mean

We will feel better

all of the time

We all play for one team

Love each season

Love each part of life more

And our year of dreams
