Witness the control

The riverbed has on the river

The initial flow once carved it

Now the set path delivers

*

The weather causes

Overflowing currents that flood

Guided by riverbanks

Leading to puddles and mud

**

Witness the control 

The internet has on the person

The initial profile starts off

But connections can worsen

*

The human gets along fine

If no one’s malicious

If there’s no greed or crossed-wires

and nothing suspicious

**

“Ha ha, ha!”

A big laugh from above

Even if we don’t know it

We have control enough

*

Guide what we think

Flood the fields if we have to

They will grow again

There is more than one path to pass thru

*

And if the riverbed runs dry

We can start again

Anywhere

After we have a good cry

**

Express what we think

Change domains if we have to

Messages flow again

There is more than one chance to grasp truth

*

And if the internet falls behind

We can start again

Anywhere

Everything comes from

our mind

***

A quick span of time

Can define our mood

A quick change of mood

Can define our time

*

The day may feel

so glorious and bright

It can bring our mood

to all sorts of new heights

*

But clouds can roll through

or we can get stuck in a room

Making the mood feel

So very dark, grey and dingy

**

A quick span of time

Can determine our mood

A quick change of mood

Can determine our time

*

The day may feel

so damp, gloomy and cold

It can bring our mood

to dismal depths untold

*

But sun can burst through

or we can find a nice room

Helping the mood open up

Like on pearly gates hinging

**

In some moods

we may even despise

a brilliant sunrise

Or in a wicked storm

Feel as happy as ever

*

It can be the weather that changes

Or the social climate

It can depend on

Pure luck

Hard work

Or how we may time it

Good health can improve it

It’s how we handle the balance 

Our part of forever

And every challenge

**

A quick span of time

Can design our mood

A quick change of mood

Can design our time

*

The day may feel

So calm

Warm or pure cool

It can bring our mood

To new levels and fair rules

*

Science and art run through

We all need a safe space

with some room

Setting the mood

Steady and close or

far out on the fringe scene

***

I am feeling fine

As I thrive

The world that I love

Allows me to have peace 

*

Most of the time it can happen

Because I go with the flow

*

Sometimes I push the envelope

And break down barriers

Because it is

my turn to reach out

And get on with the show

*

When we have all we need

There are things we do not know

**

When we are not feeling well

Going through hell

The world that we love

Can fall to pieces

*

Some of the time it can happen

When there’s

nowhere else to go

*

Some folks will

push their opinions on us

And create more barriers

But when it’s

our turn to reach out

They are shutting down the show

*

They may have all they need

But there are things

that they do not know

*

Like the fact that for success

we need

To make an effort for

Everyone

Everything

Everywhere

***

You can’t imagine

what happened next

And it did

And it does

Let’s put it in context

**

You can never predict

Everything on the test

But it is

And it was

We have to do our best

*

I can not see all the future

But I can take my best guess

And when I really try to make a difference

I won’t settle for less

**

It is harmful to tell ourselves 

That we can’t make a difference

Neglect and spite

Harm so many

And to some extent

Most of us are guilty of it

*

We shouldn’t do things

Against our own better judgement

just because others expect it

and accept it

And it has become convenient

*

We need more awareness of how it is happening

Realize our mistake

Stop it and prevent it

Moving forward

With kind reason

**

You can not defend

what happened next

And it did

And it does

You might as well confess

*

You would never expect

Such a terrible mess

But it is

And it was

They just could not care less

*

I can not save all the future

Yet for some things I must protest

And if

To be fair

I see a need for change

I will not stop to rest

***

People are so hard to understand

Some we know better

Love to stick together

Caring and sharing

Just because we can

*

People make weird choices sometimes

I know I do too

How about you?

Compare me

Don’t scare me

Share your voice

Take your time

*

People are different

We all have a different view

Hope it helps us get through

**

People are difficult to understand

We know them better

Love being together

Caring and sharing

Life is in our hands

*

People make their choices

All of the time

I know I do

How about you?

We can be aware

And be fair more

Share our voice

Make more time

*

People are different

We all have a different view

Hope it helps us get through

**

Perspectives are everything

Help us understand

Different points of view

**

People are challenging to understand

Like predicting the weather

Like now and forever

Stay caring

Keep sharing

Together we stand

*

People are different

We all have a different view

Hope helps us get through

***

It makes me sick

How so many 

ignore all kinds of suffering 

Some knowingly integrate it

When by rights

we should truly hate it

Not many things

that we should hate

But stopping suffering is great

when the best option is

To prevent it

There’s no debate here

**

Without acceptable

moral standards

People actually plan it

Plan suffering of others

For their own convenience

*

Politicians

I’ll be honest

Your deception

Can not con us

Lives are destroyed

For luxury that you’ve led

While greed fills your head

It is your heart

that needs more care

And a better goal instead

**

It makes me sick

How so many 

ignore all kinds of suffering 

Some knowingly perpetuate it

When by rights

we should truly hate it

Not many things that we should

But suffering is never good

When there’s other options

To prevent it

There’s no debate here

**

Without decent moral standards

People actually plan it

Plan suffering of others

For their own enjoyment

*

Trophy hunters

I’ll be blunt here

Live action pictures

Are much more fun than

a soul destroyed

For a picture of the dead

That may fill your head

It is your heart

That needs more strength and

a better view instead

**

When I say the word “sick”

I think of an artist that it fit

When we get right down to it

We are all spread thin

Not hypocrites

It is the uncaring

And unaware that

Let suffering manifest

To ease it, slow it and stop it

We should always

work to do our best

Especially for the rest

***

Falling so far down

Then we turn it around

And we rise up strong again

*

Fading out of sight

Then we show up bright

Now there is

nothing wrong again

**

Then I look a little further

Someone could be hurting

I should help the situation

I do whatever I can

Learned to help myself first

So I can do much better

Now I can help the world

And someone else

To get on with the better plan

**

We rise so far up

We can not get enough

Then we climb down low again

*

Keeping visions bright

Life turns out alright

We find 

the world we know again

*

Then we get a little closer

Everybody knows it

When we help the situation

And do whatever we can

We should help ourselves first

If it helps us do better

Now we can help the world

And someone else

To keep up with a better plan

**

Every chance we get

Work to have

All of our needs met

Everywhere we go

By being fair

And taking care

To rise up strong

Never falling down too low

Let’s do our best

To help a good love flow

***

Shining on the wall

Sun rays in the hall

Just as the door opens

The sun starts to fall

*

Chasing all our dreams

Busting at the seams

Reaching for a new goal

And many more sunbeams

*

When we hit the roof

We still need proof

Living for the moment

They know we have the moves

**

Here in this place

We can’t always chase our dreams

Unless we can’t

See them

Feel them

Prepare to face the heat

*

We have to

Free them

Heal them

Envision them complete

*

Have a way to balance success

Use our time to promote more peace

Share benefits for all of the rest

Our dream holds

All of our life

All of life

Let’s understand the theme

**

Climbing up the walls

Running down the halls

Looking through the window

When the ceiling falls

 *

Chasing our dreams

Better off in teams

Reaching for a new goal

It’s much more than it seems

*

We are on the roof

They still ask for proof

Living in the moment

So we make our move

**

In this time and place

We can only chase our dreams

So we should

Hear them

Feel them

Flow with them  

And set the beat

*

We have to

Prepare them

Share them 

Choose what’s best to believe

*

Here’s a way to balance success

Use our life to promote more peace

Share benefits with all the rest

Our dream holds  

All of life     

All of life

Let’s improve every angle of this scene

***

The amount of impact

That one word can have

Is incredible to think about

If we are trying to keep track

*

Yes

I said it

We won’t forget it

You have said

the same thing too

Different meanings

For different feelings

This is between me and you

*

Breath-taking excitement

Days enlightened

In everybody’s view

When we say it

Each day face it

New meaning starts flowing  through 

*

Never alone but we need

more numbers

Then again if we are one

We should never feel under

**

The amount of impact

That one word can have

Is a real problem to think about

If we miss the context and fact

*

No one said it

We all forget it

I wish that everybody knew

Similar meanings

For similar feelings

Just between me and you

*

Inspiration igniting

Our days brighten

In everybody’s view

When we say it

Each day embrace it

New meaning starts shining through

*

At once alone yet we always

have numbers

Then again we stay as one

And never have to wonder

*

When understanding is a storm

Many words are thunder

*

The amount of impact

That one word can have

Is a solution to think about

Find the best way

to make contact

***

In another life

I was holding too tight

Nervous about losing touch

Crashing down from a dream

Too much gravity

I came smashing down

Into actual reality

*

Waking up to the next scene

Completely normal

Not super at everything

Too long straining at the edges

That was long ago

Now it’s all smoothed out

Our hearts are strong

Like our new pledges

*

I do solemnly swear

To work to stay aware

Of more ways to care

About each other

About the season

And good reason

*

To be fair

*

I will try to reach a healthier reality

And hold on to good connection

so it’s easier to share

And to be fair

**

In my current life

I try to hold on just right

Not fixate or stress out too much

Splashing down from a dream

Normal gravity

I come walking down

Into actual reality

*

Opening up to the next scene

Completely intense

So super at everything

Use our brain to soothe the edges

This day has long to go

Now it’s all smoothed out

Our hearts are strong

Like our firm pledges

*

I assure you:

I an totally prepared

And work to stay aware

Of more ways to care

About each other

About the season

And good reason

*

To be fair

*

I do strive to reach a healthier reality

And hold on to good connection

so it’s easier to share

And to be fair

*

I hold on to calm reflection
