I can’t always say

Things I want to say

*

To keep our lives together

We have to be smart

I can still love

The way I want to love

Even if I can’t say it loud

From the bottom of my heart

One day at a time

Chip away piece by piece

Tear down barriers

Try to make it right

Even pure words don’t always do justice

That doesn’t mean we can’t still win the fight

*

Look at who we are

Conscious beings

Different folks and creatures

All born from a spark

No matter where we came from

Or how life is going

We can find brighter hopes and features

To get past nights that are dark

Quiet or loud we win

When care and love are on the mark

*

I’m right on target

Arrow splitting arrow

Maybe you can see it

But you just can’t speak

The bullseye we’re looking at

Is the aim of our hearts

Incomparable

Maybe you can feel it

When this thought is complete

*

Say a word for peace

Say what you want to me

Don’t leave anyone out

Aim higher to help us all live better

*

We can’t always say

Things we want to say

*

To keep life together

We have to work hard

We can still love

The way we want to love

It can be best to say it loud

From the bottom of our heart

One day at a time

Chip away piece by piece

Tear down barriers

Try to make it right

Even pure words don’t always do justice

Doesn’t mean we can’t still win the fight

*

Look at who we are

Conscious beings

Special folk and creatures

All born from a spark

No matter where we came from

Or how life’s going

We can climb over higher slopes and detours

To get past days that seem dark

Quiet or loud we win

Caring

Way more

like

A walk in the park

***

Can we find some time to meditate

Or at least feel Peace in the moment?

Please give us signs of well-being and Wisdom

Look at a symbol of nature

that is calm

A flower or a fence

No vision out of place

If you can embrace opposition and then face

The world with a smile

that overrides the system

*

Can we find time to meditate

Work to create peace for more moments?

Recognize signs of sacrifice and progress

Accept symbols of nature

that are known best

A flower or a friend

Everyone in this place

If you can keep pace with contradiction and then base

Our world on the light

We have inside that grows blessed

*

To find peace inside

and clear our mind of gross pride

Are the first steps that will guide

Peace in our life and worldwide

But we have to believe it

Cleanse our minds and retrieve it

From the most chaotic days

Dark and dirtiest ways

Find the light that stays with us

Through all time that won’t hide

When we conceive it

Peace

*

Can we find time to meditate

Be allowed peace for more moments?

Follow the signs and find more sense and meaning

Worship symbols of nature

Now convening

A flower and face

Won’t feel out of place

If you can save grace with protection and then chase

A world out of sight

We make alright with a mission of peace

Intervening

***

The view that I maintain is born with me and the world

A no-name knock-off

I know just about nothing

But when we put our heads together

Oysters holding wise pearls

Beauty in our vision

And grit in our Soul

*

Share the sands of time

Exploring Land so fine

Sea and Sky forever

Achieve every breath

*

It’s easy to scrutinize

it’s not fair to capsize me

They should really know by now

I aim to do my best

Anxious moments

Melt into acceptance when we get well

I’d like to prove to you that I can pass every test

*

Hold onto empathy

As we look past to the bottom line

Don’t let a few nerves

Unravel all the rest

*

Believe Believe

Achieve every breath

Achieve nothing less

Than our absolute best

*

From conception to

Our dreams, we are that which we imagine

The view of society

Determines how they grow

I will hold my confidence

in the heart of my dense brain

And keep myself connected

To life’s ebb and flow

*

The view of myself is born with me and the Earth

As Sunshine Superstars

We are all something certain

And when we put our heads together

Trees shimmering with mirth

Beauty in our vision

And for life’s every worth

*

Share the branches of time

Exploring Land so fine

Sea and Sky forever

Achieve every breath

*

It’s easy to criticize me

But it’s not fair to penalize me

They should really know by now

I aim to do my best

Toxic moments

Melt into acceptance when we get well

I’d like to prove to you

Accidents made the mess

*

Hold onto empathy

and Look past to the bottom line

Don’t let a few safe swerves

Cause me to fail the test

*

Believe Believe

Achieve every breath

Achieve nothing less

Than our absolute best

*

From conception to

Our Dreams

Are all that we can imagine

The view that we share

Determines how they grow

Let us hold confidence

in the Soul of our dense brains

and keep ourself connected

To Life’s cosmic flow

***

Love we have

Hides beneath the seas

And above the skies

Within hidden hearts

And behind dedicated eyes

*

Dedicated to a way of life

And important causes

Dedicated to what makes us different

As we try to avoid losses

*

Could we share this love

Without conflict and confusion?

See eye to eye without so much

competition-driven illusion?

*

I mean well

You mean well

So why does it all go to Hell?

*

Why do people go hungry

living on the street?

Why do we wage war

when we’re the one we defeat?

Why don’t we say hello to everyone we meet?

*

How can we change things up so there’s less need to compete?

For basic needs and Safety

Money should be beat!

*

Love we have

Resides with friends and family

And can at times surprise

Common smarts

Catching dedicated eyes

*

Dedicated to being nice

Press play with few pauses

Dedicated to compassion and light

To join us in important causes

*

Could we share this love

With only care and communion

See eye to eye with clearly the most

Kind and fair solutions?

*

I mean well

You mean well

We each have a story to tell

*

That’s why some are lonely

And thrown to the street

That’s why we wage war

Looking for differences to defeat

Since we’re unable to learn about people we meet

*

How can we change things so there’s less need to compete?

For basic needs and safety:

Barriers should be beat

*

I mean well

You mean well

Still our lives can go to Hell

*

No way to get fired up without taking heat

When kindness is handled badly it brings defeat

Living is work yet we’re treated incomplete

*

When can we put these hours on the big time sheet?

For basic needs and safety

No one should have to beg, steal or cheat

*

Love we have

Hides beneath a deep freeze

And above fiery cries

Within false starts

And behind dedicated eyes

*

Dedicated to a better life

And best of causes

Dedicated to what makes us unique

As we become our own bosses

*

Can we share this love

Without competitive collusion?

See eye to eye with much more

Kind and compassionate fusion?

***

In some ways an uneasy brain to begin with

As I look through an autumn window

I see faces in trees plainly grinning

Yet stuck into an unforgiven limbo

I look up to dark clouds boiling

We reflect on the sheer touch of madness

That we are one with the storm rolling

And manage to clear so much of the badness

*

Hair rises high on Lucy’s neck

Pumpkin hides under the table

Halloween is creeping up on us

Seems our psychic ability is totally stable

Can’t keep clean

Rats deep in blood and guts

Black cat hunts nightly as willing and able

Fat feline, nasty human, vermin and muddy mutts

All of us given a label

*

How does my isolated vision compare

To true death and evil that impacts real people?

First please note: I’m in some way aware

Of the last breath and steep hills causing upheavals

We all live life

Some suffer way more

Imagery poking at strife is tougher at our core

And all efforts are meant for true love retrieval

*

Different people

Labels

Unfit or redeemed

Do all I can to include

Kindness and keep it clean

Fuss on one thing

Intense

About productivity

Can’t bear a gruesome grudge of flawed activity

If I’m feeling strapped

Our world can seem rather mean

I get through days better with a hard-working kind of sheen

*

Endeavour seems like a part of life

We all push for our goals

But without kindred spirits

It can be like

Walking across hot coals

Alone can feel like it lasts forever

Together feels like a stitch in time

My soul reaches out to you to harmonize

Together we are all

Truly sacred and divine

*

We must reach out to the children

Who hold our future dimensions and draw out all our moods

There’s no other world to live in

So let’s boldly ensure attention to all these dames and dudes

Far beneath the surface

We all have the same life-goal

To exist happily here on Earth

No matter how young or old

*

Where is the web that catches all of us?

I know it is there

There is care

That watches over us

If we live with support like a spider

We could feel better and brighter

We should not deny

Connections inside

Or have to decide

When fear is the only divider

and Love is the steadfast rider

*

Year round

Seconds we play

Fly by fiery and fast

I work hard as I can and as I say

“Nice guys finish last”

Me, I do heavy lifting

of spirit and morals each day

Reach from low to high above ground

Rules and reason may shift, drifting away

But injustice can’t hold good souls down

So how do we get around?

*

We have patience through the seasons

Endure changes that are timeless

Bow to the phantom of causality

Appreciate random acts of kindness

We start with a similar seed

And the Earth all around

Shaping us as we grow

To our brains and bodies bound

Determined worthy faces

Rise up from the ground

*

How do we get around injustice?

By aiming for peace and love

For those that don’t know what the fuss is

It’s about working together to get above

Above hate and fear and anger and stigma

Above cruel ends in fate and greed and danger

The smile on my face should be no enigma

I send joy to every friend, family and stranger

*

I have just eaten some brains

And would like to eat some more

Maybe I’m licking my fingers again

Because there’s some heart inside this kind skull’s core

I wander around aimlessly

Looking for a piece of mind

If you really want to give one to me

I’d be glad as it’s all I can find

*

Look deep into my eyes

And I will mesmerize you

I won’t bring bad luck

The days won’t suck

No one in the world will despise you

There are no hitches

Not even the witches

They know I’ll stay true to who I am

As we fly the skies

I wear no disguise

This kind magic we have is no sham

*

On a holiday from sanity?

A helpful view of MacroMichael

Even though I proclaim it’s clean

I use profanity like “Psycho”

The word is over-used on people

that are really just diverse

Special vision doesn’t mean we’re in the movie scene

Stereotypes we choose for people

Often are much worse

*

Welcome to our house

I’d suggest you come inside

But there’s several zombies here

And werewolf dogs that bite

The gnome will not be vicious

If you suggest you’ll do the dishes

If you’re looking for a guide

Invoke oracle warlocks and witches

Follow the prophetic light

That answers secret wishes

*

Once we set our goals

And nurture them till full-grown

We can share light in what we dream

Down low or more well-known

The spirit of the times rises

from the ground where it was buried

Death of past life supplies us

Energy found and then carried

In forms calm to some

And to others very scary

*

Can’t compare our face

Or light from within

Must accommodate

So work together can begin

Help save society

Stand out for good causes

Scare the Hell out of the devil for sure

And all other bullying bosses

At least get them to admit their wrong

With a shallow scream

Remind them to fear our spirit

Every Halloween

***

I’m a day late and a dollar short

So many of us could use more support

Some just to survive

Or begin to make

Our world get so much better

Mental Health doesn’t just come off a shelf

Yet to find good help

We often need wealth

I see that to live good lives

Books and medicine can be

Exclusively clever

*

Ironic we call it, “A wealth of knowledge”

Because we study

And did college

And live with such crime

All of the time

Ignorance causing

Poverty

Illness is judged

by those with a grudge

And not many budge

or take a fair nudge

To save hard case lives

And lend resources to stop

Costly misery

*

No fault but your own yet

You blame us for mistakes

You say that you’ve grown

But your inclusion is fake

How can we get through

All the anger and hate?

When you’re mad at the poor

Their contribution you negate

To be human and have feelings

Has to be more than enough

But easing pain to you is not priority “stuff”

*

You’re a day late and a dollar short

So many of us could use more support

Some just to survive

Or begin to make

Our world get so much better

Mental Health doesn’t

Have a fixed price

Yet to find good advice

We can’t roll the dice

I see that to live good lives

Money and planning can be

A great measure

*

Self-serving, why suggest

“Money can’t buy happiness?”

As we work all days

Without rest

Face dirt and grime

All of the time

Striving to get past

Poverty

Food has a cost

Clothes and shelter are lost

If dollars not tossed

To you by your boss

To help get through life

And provide resources to bring

Ringing success

*

Where’s the reason?

You blame us for mistakes

And imply that it’s treason

But your evidence is fake

How can we prove

Our contributions are great

When you are mad at workers

Who don’t even get a living rate?

To be human and have our own needs

Has to be more than enough

But your “fair” sharing of resources is a

Cruel bluff

***

We are on our own

for only moments at a time

I’ll give my time for you

Absolutely

No problem

*

We’re totally slammed

With the weight of the world on our shoulders

I’m fine when I’m with you

Only solutions

No problems

*

Together we keep life cool

With the loving words and kind talks

No trouble here

When love soothes

Life rocks

Life rocks

**

So much we can do

Yet sometimes life seems so hard

If it gets worse we’ll just push through

Everyday we get so far

Issues weigh our world down

But we are good at thinking out of the box

*

Together questions and answers are found

When love wins

No doubt

Life rocks

When love wins

Nothing shocks

No problem here

Life rocks

Life rocks

**

We are on our phone

It seems like hours at a time

I’ll give my life for you

Absolutely

No problem

*

When traffic jams

The airwaves seem like cold shoulders

Shoulders

Shoulders

Shoulders

Until kindness comes flowing through

Sure solution

No problem

*

Together we hold life’s views

With calm days and long walks

No trouble here

When Love soothes

Life rocks

Life rocks

**

So much we have to do

Life can be so hard

If it gets rough we’ll just push through

Everyday we get so far

Issues hold our world down

But we’re good at opening the tough locks

**

Together certain freedom is found

When love wins

Moments count

And life rocks

When love wins

We beat the clocks

No problem here

Life rocks

Life rocks

**

We are all alone for only moments at a time

I’ll give my time for you

Absolutely

No problem

*
We just take a stand

Like the wars they wage couldn’t get any colder

I’m fine when I’m with you

Only solutions

No problems

*

Together we see more Peace through

With both good times and hard knocks

No trouble here

When Love soothes

LIFE ROCKS

LIFE ROCKS

***

With well-planned tapping

of the brain’s

Unquestionable

Raw potential

There’s new power and energy

Beginning to form plenty

*

We understand mapping

of what’s sane as

Unguessable

Consequential

Our few hours are merging

Spinning into so many

Time spent to comprehend the mind

Better spent to focus our dreams

*

Nothing’s quite as it seems

The concrete truths that we stand on

And the beliefs that shelter us

Can save us from storms

but wash away with the past

*

If we hold onto our dreams

Completely choose what we plan on

The relief that’s felt by us

Can create the new norm

And crush bad days with a blast

*

Lifetimes grappling

With the brain’s

True dilemma

So existential

Infinite power an energy

Give us strength to go on

*

We fly high tackling

One sand grain

Showing the gem

Of all that is mental

Richest towers splurging

Grind peace till it’s gone

Time spent to figure out the mind

Better spent to focus our dreams

*

Through all time our light gleams

The studied truths that we land on

The beliefs that are dealt to us

Can lead to good days

Yet disappear with the past

*

If we follow our dreams

Muddy blues bring a grand dawn

The griefs that are felt by us

Can meet warmth in the haze

And with calm care clear up fast

***

Can’t fix tricks

From many years ago

Don’t know what they’re thinking

I don’t go that low

We are who we are

Since you and I were kids

Couldn’t be any kinder

No matter what we did

I can’t explain the pain

Or what caused it

Yet we felt it

Certainly didn’t mean it

Here’s some ice

Now let’s melt it

*

Can’t always appeal

To everyone we know

Stories I find wholesome

You can find below

We are who we are

Taken by highest bids

But don’t put on the blinders

Open our soul’s eyelids

If we describe the vibe

And the causes

that have held us

Certainly we’ll see it

Share advice

Let sure words tell us

*

Believe Love

It makes sense

Skip lies and false pretense

Rumor

Corrupt messenger clouds vision

Dirty waters stir

Makes truth hard to see

And we judge carelessly

Stereotype we assume

Misleading label

Seals the doom of

Any other person

And confusion worsens

Don’t decide fate

Or put an unfair curse on

Wake up to the vision

Of fighting for the same cause

Yesterday won’t change

And the present we Live

Won’t pause

Face the future knowing

we are all here together

It’s not like only a few should succeed

In numbers we are clever

The vain must concede and

Leave their greed

And join our great endeavour

*

Can’t find the kind

At times it doesn’t show

I’m looking for true love

Everywhere I go

We are who we are

Passion: a thing we hid

Pressure packed side-winder

Surprise corner screech and skid

I can’t articulate fate

and All causes

Yet it rules us

Certainly can’t cheat it

Calm care will suffice

And grow and cool us

I’m leaning on the future

Like a pool cue on the table

To find peace of mind

We can’t be on the ropes

It helps to have a calm world

Combinations when we’re able

To find peace of mind

We must work on how to cope

Chalk up every effort

And cover all the angles

At least what we can

For the time we can devote

*

I’m sticking with the past

Like an over-used label

To find peace of mind

We can’t gripe and mope

It helps to find a calm world

And remain completely stable

To find peace of mind

We must develop hope

Make a name for ourselves

Don’t lose much time idle

At least do what we can

With contributions to promote

*

No one has the time of day

To be missing any

But this is what they ask of you

To spend lifetimes fot a penny

Seconds of peace are few and far between

But should be way past many

These hours we need

To live well and dream

Best to share so we all get plenty

And not be missing any

It’s the least that we can do

*

I’m focused on the present

Like an unfolding fable

To find peace of mind

We can’t think we’re woke

It helps to make a calm world

Keep up to accounts payable

To find peace of mind

We must broaden our scope

Keep an eye on fantasy

Yet practical life cradle

At least do what we can

To help float our only boat
