Ugh.

**

Can’t win

Trying to influence the system

*

Can’t lose

If we make good sense of communication 

*

We put it on the line

And we try to reel it in

*

Every single time

The truth begins again

**

Can’t win

Trying to influence the system

^

Can’t lose

If we make good sense of communication 

^

I’ve got something to say

But first I am listening

^

There is not a single line

That I want to be missing

^^

If we never share

We will stay unaware

Of how to work together

To survive in society

and find ways to make it better

*

All we need

Is shared truth to lead

To succeed

We need trust indeed

*

Enough trust

To get past lust

And share any sense or feeling

that leads to health and safety

That we can read

Away from greed

For better ways of dealing

To keep it real

When we need more healing

Balance in victory

is certainly appealing 

***

Things are going great

I feel free and strong

It really seems

like there is nothing wrong

*

So much fun

I take a break

Never make a bad mistake

But somewhere else

Their heart aches

As they go through

such hard times

*

I reach out

And take the bait

We just have to wait and wait

In all we have felt

Our heart aches

As we carry on with

the good times

+

Things are getting late

I feel real not wrong

It really feels

Like the current is so strong

*

Now we run

There is no break

Never our dreams will we forsake

And somewhere else

Their heart wakes

As they get through

such hard times

*

Things are going great

Time just comes along

Sometimes we have to feel

like there is nothing wrong

***

I am feeling well

For most of the time 

Our hours we sell

It feels like a crime

Now I feel like hell

But you can not tell

I lay it all on the line

Somehow that makes it fine

If I give you a sign

Please look into my mind

**

It is a journey

As I climb up

to the top of a mood

*

In anxious moments

I fall down low

and the pressure’s acute

I feel like I’m dying

I don’t even know why

and when I make it through

I find out that it’s true

It is just a mood

*

But communication is crude

Isn’t there something more we can do?

To help out others

when nightmares intrude?

**

I look all around at every scene

Clashes, matches and memories

Realize that I

can still reach my dreams

I stop feeling down

and get through the crowd

Then

Climb up higher

until I am found

At the heights

with the sights

And the sounds

When we all meet 

*

Visions, echoes

poetry

*

Experience is much

more than it seems

It makes up all of our reality

**

I am feeling well

For most of the time 

The keys to our cell

Our world can define

Why are some times hell?

There’s so much to tell

I take care of what is mine

And that seems to be fine

If I give you a sign

Please reach into my mind

I’m trying to be kind

So that we can find

*

An answer

Within our reach

That we can all learn and teach

For better times

To feel well

So we climb out of our hell

How can we tell?

*

Less pain on our brains

More light in our minds

Light meaning: Love

*

Love more of life

***

Somewhere in between

The absolute truth

and pure imagination

*

Sometimes we can see

Only bold new views

Without any aggravation

*

Find ways to hear more

Of all the best music

Confirm greatest expectations 

*

With no hesitation

We search for elation

And come out on top

**

At the peak of the day

We can still make our way

Towards future outcomes

And forever systems

That will satisfy all our needs

Optimism succeeds

Pain goes away

Bright thoughts stay

A guitar strums

Highlights the drums

As our words and thoughts play

Music of the day

*

Traffic like

Cars

Or creatures

Humans, teachers

Birds or dogs

Train whistles along

The sound of wind in the trees

Fulfils all our needs

Music and vision

Helps us succeed

**

Somewhere in between

The absolute truth

and pure imagination

*

Sometimes we can feel

Each dream that we choose

With much more anticipation 

*

Climb up on the wings

Of the universe

Confirm greatest expectations 

 *

With no hesitation

We search for elation

We will never stop

***

Health and well-being

Meet with our life

Decide how we live

And for what we should strive

*

Thinking about it is

A way to shape our days

Following through

helps benefits stay

**

Find what we need

to steer the way

Make it through

Feeling great

Or just be okay

More of the days

Especially today

More than okay

**

Health and just comfort

Need more in life

Want fine ways to live

And the good life to thrive

*

Thinking about it is

A way to brave our days

Following through

helps better times stay

**

Find what we need

to clear the way

Make it through

Feeling great

Or just be okay

More of the days

Especially today

More than okay

***

The worst feeling besides

Pain

is the pressure

Sometimes they just go

Hand in hand

We can keep on hoping

For a brand new saviour

Sometimes we have to

Take a stand

*

The best feeling is quite

Plain

It is pleasure

Sometimes life just rolls

Grand as grand

When love we are knowing 

An every-day saviour

Each time we connect

Makes us glad

**

Open to life

The sky that we’re after

The fate of a fair day

Love feeling good laughter

*

Open it up

The ice on the puddle

The lake on a hot day

Joys that are subtle

*

Close your eyes when you are

Safe and sound

Then

Open your mind

And fight some more

to help the scene

on solid ground

**

The one feeling in life

Stays

How we measure

Sometimes it will flow

We can understand 

With best reason showing

We find our true saviour

Love time more when we

Make a plan

*

Love time more when we

Take a stand

For our true saviour

Each time we connect

Makes us glad

***

Only eyes

Pure desire

Only ice

Until there’s fire 

*

True disdain

Eyes conspire

Chance again

On the wire

*

Exploding with rage into

An intense new stage until

True give-aways

Defuse the bomb

A new change stays

Healing for days

And life becomes incredibly calm

**

Only hotter

Dreams inspire

Need some water

There’s too much fire

*

Too much pain

Needs are dire

Chance of rain

From up higher

*

Soon soaking the blaze into

Such a dense grey haze but

it’s a new phase

Hold in our palm

Steam as it plays

Healing for days

and life becomes

more stable and calm

**

Calm seems the best

Or maybe joyfully excited

A controlled fire is blessed

From the moment it’s ignited

A wild fire can lead to growth

But it’s best to be sure

That the outcome is pure

For the most in the world

So we can feel fine

More of the time

People and creatures

Of every design

**

Calm seems the best

Or maybe truly ecstatic

Freezing ice heals the rest

From the moment that it’s added

In time ice can lead us close

To what’s best to be sure

So the outcome is pure

For the most in the world

So we can feel fine

More of the time

People and creatures

Of every design

**

Only wise

Not a liar

Take my advice

The world’s on fire

*

Must complain

Try inquire

Chance can’t explain

Life’s entire

*

Wide open disgrace

The offence of no change

and same awful ways

Leaders that con

With all of their plays

Instead of grace

*

Let’s help life become more fair and calm

***

When I think about some situations

The ideas that the people there have

are so vile and abhorrent

*

If I just take a breath

with them around

Their style stinks

smelling pungent

*

Meanwhile they think

that all their ideas

Are quite intelligent

And they are all hell-bent

On superiority

**

They would rather be the boss

Than work on goals together

They would rather be in charge

Than learn ways

To be more clever

*

So now we spin our wheels

Because of what they feel

*

Dynamics

of their strategies

never lead to progress

A future built with card houses

Still they think they know best

**

When I think about some situations

The ideas that the people here have

are hiding and prevented

*

If I can get a breath

And peace is found

Our style links

Other tangents

*

Meanwhile we think

that all our ideas

Are quite intelligent

and they are all hell-bent

From inferiority

*

We have all paid the cost

and now work on goals together

We would rather live life large

And share ways

to achieve much better

*

When we dig in our heels

On what we all feel

*

Dynamics

of our strategies

Instead lead to progress

Future is built with fair logic

Reason always flows best

***

Why do we fall?

*

The world seems large

And I am small

*

We are people

Thinking beings

With different perspectives

And different ways of approaching the world

*

We find equity when we balance

**

Don’t misjudge me

When I need

someone to talk to

Bold with care

And on the same wavelength

*

Certainly not risking

any rage-fest

Cruel and hurtful

with misunderstanding

*

I never attempt to

Nor would I ever

Cross that line

*

My expressions are stagnant

And you read into appearance

*

I don’t mean to be forward

Not improving one expression

*

I am here just being me

Not disrespectful

*

Connecting

To help love live

**

I am eager to get your opinion

*

Keen to be on the level

Sharing a smile

And a laugh

Finding innocence

*

Feeling strength

just to connect to humanity

*

All I see

I cherish and

imagine to be

Pure 

So that we will succeed

And be happy in our days

*

Thinking what we want to think

Nothing hurts progress

If we balance all of our life

By sharing constructive ideas

*

Building up to the rest of the day

For moments with what we say

*

Unguarded

We stay cool

In seconds together

*

In the next frame of time

Minutes, hours, days or years

We might be alone

**

I try to get things done

For the people that

I will share my time with

*

Sometimes the world stands still

And somehow we suffer

*

I see new ways forward

But they won’t always last

*

I want to get to the point

*

Time feels slow

Yet grows fast

**

Peace and love versus

War and hate

*

I’m above the wait

I know this is a process

*

Charge ahead to get past

Under the weight

*

Unburdened

When we make some progress

**

I’m above the hate

We need a peaceful protest

*

We may want evil smashed

On top of the hate

*

We learn sense

To embrace the most blessed

*

That part of all of us

*

We are always forgetting

*

Something or someone

***

And then we hit the wall

Uncertain of what is beyond

No longer to move forward

Until the barrier is gone

*

Will I put on the brakes, first?

I won’t crash into mistakes

So I have to take my time

I won’t be fooled by the fakes

**

Will the door open

to new places?

Will I see all new faces

or meet up with those

I know from before

Some that want nothing

Some I can’t ignore

Try to love all

I love some way more

*

Do I have to go over the top

To save the world that won’t stop

Or meet up with those

That don’t know the score

Some that do nothing

Have some news in store

Try to love all

Love some so much more

**

And then we break the wall

So certain of the new dawn

No longer to fall backwards

When the barrier is gone

*

Can I put on the gas, now?

I will find a way to get past

So I will just take my time

And find good days that will last
