It’s a hard life, for sure

I know it can be

Definitely for someone right now

Maybe for us as I write this

and now as you read this

You or I could be

having a tough time some how

Or maybe I’m fine 

And you are too

I’m not going to

acknowledge that

Until we get through

**

It’s a big day, for sure

I know it will be

Definitely for someone right now

Maybe after I write this

and now as you read this

You or I could be

having a moment some how

And maybe it’s divine

And we are too

I’m not going to

Expect all that

Unless there’s a

Clear way through

*

Especially when we are getting so deep

Down into a frown

Furrowing our brow

Hearing every sound

Like we are on the ground

*

Let’s lift ourselves up

And carry on

Because we can

Make it though life

It’s a new life

Every moment

View life as found

With calm, fresh feelings

Of vast, strong energy

Always all around

**

It is one life, for sure

I know it should be

Definitely for someone right now

Maybe as I write this

and now as you read this

You or I could be

having transcendence some how

Maybe we are inclined

And they are too

I’m not going to

Proclaim all that

Before we get through

It’s true

***

We feel the time go

Do you think it moves slow

Or do you think

That it’s moving too fast?

*

It depends where you are going

And what you are knowing

Like if there is excitement ahead

Or traffic instead

We must be present

But we can only learn

from the past

*

We can’t learn from the future

And the present rushes by

Looking back is

The only way to learn

We do have to try

**

We feel the time go

Do you think it moves slow

Or do you think

That it’s moving too fast?

**

It depends what view is showing

And what you are knowing

Like if it’s frightening ahead

Or there’s comfort instead

We must be aware

But some things we can’t

learn from a class

*

We can’t learn from a teacher

If the lesson rushes by

Stay on track

It’s the only way to learn

And we have to ask why

**

We feel the time go

Do you think it moves slow

Or do you think

That it’s moving too fast?

*

Time will always go

Whether it seems to move slow

Or if you think

That it’s moving too fast

*

We can go through tough times

Hard on body and mind

Just hope that the rest is a blast

***

We do what we do

In every moment that we

want to save

It’s how we behave

*

A different mood

Builds up our view

Some we can’t easily shake

They come from our experience

And energy we create

We are at our strongest

And last the longest

When our

Health checks out okay

And things go our way

*

The things we go through

Affect what we do

Sometimes we can’t anticipate

Or predict our experience

Or the energy we face

We get through the strongest 

When we get along with

The rest of the world okay

And things go our way

**

Muscles, hustles

And brains that harness energy

How we get through life

Depends on everything we feel

Right down to the bone

Together or alone

Imagine a world where

The end is untangled 

We are relaxed

Yet ready

It has been planned out

Our mood is steady

We do what we do

**

It is not wrong if

Our love is strong and

Mind and body are okay

Things will go our way

**

We do what we do

In every moment that we

need or crave

It’s how we behave

*

We do what we do

In every moment that we

want to save

It’s how we behave

***

Free to think about 

whatever we want

When we are actually

free to think

While our logic

Expectations

And learning 

shape our thoughts

*

At least the learning

that we are accessing

Keeps us on a train of thought

*

Free to think whatever we want

So long as we keep it inside

*

We don’t have to hide everything

Only what has to stay private 

To give ourselves the best chance

To have a good life

And if we are inclined

We think of all others

To help progress the time

With a fair balance in mind

*

We can work to think kind

Until it comes naturally

*

Naturally we can think

anything we want

We should want to think in ways

that make life better

For ourselves

and those we impact

***

Raucous entrance to the show

The true idols raise a clamour

*

The stage draws intense attention from

The throng of paying followers

*

Are they fighting or laughing

Into this

heightened, eager night?

*

Smashing drums answer

Digging into a loud roll

Four fast guitar chords

blaze holes in the crowd’s

resilient soul and minds

*

“I want you tonight”

Melodic words pour

into the hot mix

“Every thought in your head

Every beat of your heart

Let’s rock out tonight

This is how we start”

*

Searing ax-notes picked quickly

slide through the roaring audience

Lighting a TNT wick

that meets with a heavy stringed bass

*

Melodic rivers and

Pounding snare are anchored in

gripping, deep bass drums

*

Suddenly

the bold sharp singing voice

Reaches out to the world again

*

“I need for your life to be alright

Because you are my world

I want you to love

Each sound and sight

Feel the best

We have the night”

*

The hours charge by fast

Suddenly we’re at

the final encore 

*

“We want you more and more

Take us with you

wherever you go”

And with that

the roof comes down

*

Then they added one more show

*

“I want you tonight”

Melodic words pour into the mic

“Every thought in your head

Every ghost in your soul

Let’s rock out alright

This is how we roll”

*

Repeating crescendos hit

Cymbals fall to bits

And the wailing guitars ring

Like the sound of traffic

into the wilderness

Echoing amidst the sirens

Vehicles and

street lights shining bright

*

The curtains close

The last

song in the set Is superimposed

***

I want to know

Is this exciting?

Free days ahead

No one is fighting

We can relax and

Soak in the sunshine

Or play in the rain

We will not be strained

**

You want to know

What I’ve been planning

Weekend ahead

We are still standing

We can relax

And have a good time

Get ahead of the game

Fan our good love’s flame

**

The weekend is here and

Our bodies are ready

Our souls are

strong from eternity

*

Some days to ourselves

A break from the battles

Now our minds

are all working free

While the world turns to be

Always earning you and me

**

I want to know

Is this exciting?

We get ahead

The path is lighting

We can relax and

Warm in the cool fire

Brilliant stars in our brain

The moon is full again

**

It is the long weekend at last and

Our bodies are ready

Our souls are strong from eternity

***

What is your power play?

Is it legit

For your hard knocks?

Is your opportunity justice

Or should we think

out of the box?

*

Can you clear it?

The ridiculous coverage?

The bias impacts the score

Can you expect more

When they are so jealous?

They will not play fair

Do you know what’s in store?

**

They may go overboard

Just Never quit

Eyes on the clock

Is your opportunity shut out?

Of some things

we should never talk

*

Can you hear him?

The annoying commentator

The bias impacts us more

It’s worse than a bore

When they are so careless

There’s no way it’s fair

How they like to keep score

**

It is how you frame it

Why should the offenders remain nameless?

It’s not as often the players

As the slanted media

And culture

In a country

(Anchored in one area)

That outs a team

Or a city

Due to personal and social biases

That should remain quiet

For the good of the game

And because

Fair is fair

🏒😤

***

I have a view

An angle

A belief

*

One moment

It seems true

Then it changes completely

*

One minute I am certain

Then my view just totally moves

Into another dimension

With a new theory we prove

I try to protect it

If it helps me understand

The world is reflected

We know that it’s all been planned

*

I have a vision

A perspective 

A thought

*

One moment

It seems true

Then it is forever gone

*

One minute I am certain

Then my vision starts to seems fake

In a controlling society

With the assumptions that we make

I may have to reject them

If it’s more than I can stand

The world is selected

With bias the fire’s fanned

**

I have an idea

It makes sense to me

I can’t sell it for a million

So I’ll give it up for free

**

We think we know the answer

and we could be right

But everything changes

When things aren’t in the light

Out of sight

and out of mind

It changes the design

We get further ahead

by appreciating our time

*

We grasp the true meaning

A perspective happens fast

Reality builds up stronger

As the current vision lasts

**

I have perception

Then a conclusion 

Pure logic

One moment

It seems true

But I must be cautious 

*

This minute I am certain

Then my perception starts to adapt

Into another evolution 

New experience we can map

And try to project it

If it helps peace to expand

The world will detect it

The most simple

can be the most grand

**

I have an idea

It makes sense to me

I will reach out to the billions

To think of what we could be

***

Take care

Love you

Take it to the heart

I do my best

To make things better

Make it better from the start

*

One thing for sure

I work for a balance

Of hard-earned pay

And good hours in return

I love when it works out

So we never crash and burn

**

Take care

Love you

Take it all the way

I do my best

To help things improve

If they are not already great

*

One thing for sure

I work for a balance

With all the input 

And the most fair ways to learn

I love when it works out

That’s always my concern

**

I would do anything for you

Anything within reason

Everything that I can do

But nothing

that would be wrong

For the balance

I will be strong

Caring so we all belong

**

Take care

Love you

Take it for what it is

I do my best

To make sure things are fine

Everything is on my list

*

One thing for sure

I work for a balance

Of what others want

And make sure we get our turn

I love when it works out

So we all have ways to earn

**

Make a living

Share a living

Make it happen

Comfort and content

Bring it all together

So life feels more heaven-sent

**

Take care

Love you

Take it for what it’s worth 

Let’s do our best

To help out the balance

So more of us

Can love our time on Earth

***

Hold the phone

We feel in the zone

We have it all going on

It will get better yet

*

Hold the phone

We don’t feel alone

I have to be going

But I’m not ready yet

**

Hold onto

the life we are saving

Hold onto

the words we are saying

*

The visions

The scenes

The vast programmed screens

*

Speakers

Addressing a world

Incomplete

*

Until we hear

Music

Nature

A voice

*

It is our world

It is mostly our choice

**

Hold the phone

Let’s make it known

We have it all going on

It will get better yet

*

Hold the phone

They’re chilled to the bone

We have to be going

Are you ready yet?

**

For the visions

The scenes

The vast programmed screens

*

Speakers

Addressing a world

That we need

*

Soon we hear

Music

Nature

A voice

*

Hold our world close

It is always our choice

**

Hold the phone

There’s no busy tone

We have it all going on

It will get better yet
