No matter what you do
The faith I have in you
Is based on what you do
If it’s all a lie
That’s what I’ll take when I die
If it’s all for real
Then, life’s a real good deal

Are there pro’s and con’s to con
Or are all the pro’s long gone
Are there pro’s and con’s to con
Will your legacy live on and on
Are there pro’s and con’s to con
Or will our faith move on

In a sweet deal
The Queen Be
Gets the honey
But is it real
Could it be
The money’s funny?

Could it be those she’s among?

Might end up getting stung
An ironic sort-of thing
Be-ing the victim
Of a sting
Can you picture being framed
As you wallow in the gallow
What are you going to do
When the executioner is you?

Hey! Wait for me!
I’m just trying to see
What’s ahead… more clearly
Should you have an urge
To build a bridge
Or perhaps swerve
Around a curve

Say, “Wait for me!”
If you’re trying to see
Ahead more clearly
Should we have the urge
To converge
And figure how to yield
At the merge

Hey! Wait for we!
We’re just trying to be
What’s a head… more dearly
… more clearly

Got caught with egg on his face
Revolutionary turning sedimentary

A good thing (x3)

Eyes may be blue
And blue skies, too
But it’s never blue inside of you
Listening to the birds sing
While wedding bells ring
Loving all life has to bring

Cool pool’s blue hue
Under skies of blue
But it’s never blue inside of you
Watching birds on wing
A the bees join in
Loving all life has to bring

While angels are cast from heaven
The sprouting of demons is a fore-given
And at the very end
When the messenger they send
Has no ear to lend….

From being where you are

No matter the distance

Won’t be sitting on the fence
Or shadow of the sundial
If it’s getting hard to hear

’cause you’re getting farther from here…

Her scent is odor free
And your taste goes to waste

Knowing you’ll die

Do you say “no way”
Then slip away
Does it make you cry
Never knowing why

Well they say your day
Goes your way
There’s no need to cry
Give’r a try
Giver try

Is the power on?
’cause you know
The wrong throw
Can be a heartbreaker
Bringing death’s dawn
Is the power on?
They say an itch the wrong way…
They say an inch the wrong way…

Does away with old age
High voltage
Are you sitting on the breaker thrown/throne
Thorned crown, dust and bone

From the day of birth
Home is Earth
’til the day I die
Under Her sky
When skies are grey
On my way
To figure how near
Is “in the clear”

Under clear skies
The “whether” looks good ahead
Under clear skies
Better than being dead

As I walk the land
Try n’ understand
How to increase the value
To you
Maybe with less impact
Spare the whack
Pass the message through
Unto you

Do you even give a damn about the little ones
Would you even shed a care
Is it you you damned with your “said and done’s”
Would you even care to share
Actions speak louder than any words
Be it ploughshares or swords
Indeed, if the deed is due
And do do’s due, too

Do you even give a damn about the eldest ones
Would you even shed a tear
Is it you you damned with your “said and done’s”
And your maker do you fear?

Do you even give a damn about the “here and now”
Do you even care to care
Is it you that damned your future somehow
Would you even share a care?

Letting out
Taking in

How can anything to wrong

Always wonder why?”

Come our way

When plopped at birth… due to gravity

Tales of chemtrails never fails
To let the light shine through on you

Ask you “know” questions
You tell “know” lies
Comes as no surprise
Did your brain get going
Without you knowing?
Got up and left
Leaving the daft
… leaving no mind behind

Give the alien race space

Spring is in the air
There’s a bounce in your hair
With blooms of sweet perfume
There’s love for us to share
Senses become aware
Flowerchild blossom… and then some
Wall-to-wall carpet of green
Fills the scene
Graced by lavender lace
… love this place

Altitude in attitude
Vibration elevation
A melody session
Full of passion
Pours from the pores
Of what the spring brings
The songbird sings
Whistling words of wisdom
In Her kingdom

Love This Place.mp3

This is the ticket?

Regret the debt you bet
Regret the debt you bet?

When you bet the farm
Now, harm done
Remains numb
Cost of fun
Having none?

The other fell to his knees
Ode to the power of our words
No , you can’t just do as you please
Oh, the cons of pronouns
The proposition of a preposition

As one becomes dumbfounded
Another is astounded
Words are mightier than swords
And in lifting spirits onward
Oh the pros of conjunctions
Or adjectives that agitate
Perplex with sentences complex

Something tells me
We’ve been here before
Wait! Stop now
Peculiar ritual walking in a circle
Before going further any more
Better straighten out some how
Now!
No need to panic
If you think quick
About the basic facts
… just relax
’cause anxiety
Will screw you for sure
Wait! Stop now
Just relax
Don’t have a heart attack
Try saying a nursery rhyme
To bring you back into time

Mary had a little lamb
And tied it to a heater
Every time it turned around… it burned it’s little seater

Just a hitchhiker on this mass
Don’t mean to be a smacked ass
But, when ya teach hypocrisy class
I just don’t know how long I’ll last

To refrain from going insane
It try to maintain play every day
When I was very young
I started to hum
Wasn’t too long ’til you could hum along
The period brief ’til I had teeth
This’ll be my time to whistle
Then look at me learn to tickle ivory
How about a bugle call to rally ya’ll
To come out and play a song
Or just sing along
And if by chance you can dance?
We might even foster romance
Faster foster, foster faster… enhance

The years went by and I didn’t die
So, I gave the guitar a try
Took me back to the days
When I was young
And learned how to hum
Though through the years there was grief
At least I still have my teeth
So, this’ll be the break to whistle
[whistle Andy In Mayberry Theme song]

Slipping, slipping, slipping away
who let the freedom come undone?
Hum ditty, ditty dum
Hum, did he? Did he dumb?

Take a look
Take a look around
Take a look
Looking up and down
Take a look
Take a look about
Take a look
Lookin’ in n’ out
Is it me, is it you
That we’re passing through
Is it me, how about you
Are we passing through glue
Now here’s what we can do
I think I’ve found a clue
The love on which we feed
Will give us godspeed
She’ll lead

The ice is cracking under your feet
You’d better not wait
To spread your weight
Toward the shoreline I’d retreat
You’d better not wait
Noooo… I wouldn’t hesitate

Avoiding the frozen depths
Plunging dark and deep
Embracing the length and breadth
Death at arm’s length keep
… life kept

The wind is blowing you off your feet
You’d better not wait
To drop your weight
Don’t want to fall on your seat
You’d better not wait
Nooo… I wouldn’t hesitate

The lesson: Mother Nature I can not defeat
Nor can I outwait
The human is a light weight
I’ll show respect ever time we meet
Smile, bow, with open arms greet

This is a time
This is a place
The time is now
The place is here
To know the now
To hear the here
The time I’m
In… the race —
Earthling
Is the thing
… an earthling thing
Please don’t ask
“Take me to your leader”
Our leader is a bottom feeder
We have no meaning
For “intelligent being”
Despite my strife
* NO Intelligent Life *

Sitting over here
In deep thought
About
Over there
Is it really that much different from
Over here?
(over there… can you overhear over there?)

As you’re already occupying
Over there
I suppose it would hard to share
And compare
Over there to over here over there
Anyway, I’m guessing
If I was sitting
Over there
The only big difference in my view
Would be me… sitting on you
Might cause a big tadoo?
(A big tadoo me sitting on you)
So, for now… ’till I figure out how
I’ll just think a bit and sit
Over here
Hey! I’m talking to you… did you
Overhear over here over there?

There’s no need to bring the
Boys home
(No need to bring the boys home)
When you’re piloting
A drone
The boys are already home

Oops! When there’s too many maybe’s
You end up dropping bombs on babies
Minimizing my strife
Winds up in loss of human life

There’s no need to bring the
Boys home
(No need to bring the boys home)
When you’re launching
Missiles
There are no more “miss ya’s”

[rave-up into jam]

The cost because of camouflage
Mired in the fog of a mirage
The depth of death’s carnage
Label us the “barnyard age”
… in the age of the boneage
(animal noises)

Good news, the sort-

Play a blues sort-
Of thing. Sing:
Sort-of thing

No need to resort
To pop songs the sort-
Of thing. Sing:

Justice the sort-
Of thing. Sing:

A glance of balance
Quick! Here’s our chance
Report such a thing
Good knews sort-of thing

If it all falls together
All depends on whether
We call
(after all if we call after all)
All I ask of you
Is that you do
All I ask of you
Make the call

If we all pull together
The chances of whether
Fall
All I ask of you
Is that you do
All I ask of you
Make the call

If we all get together
Decide what’s “whether”
We’ll quell
All I ask of you
Is that you do
All I ask of you
Make the call

If we all join together
A crier / choir of “whether”
Hall / haul
(concert hall / sound haul)
All I ask of you
Is that you do
All I ask of you
Make the call

To find a super sleuth
To tell the truth!

There ‘re those whose fun is cruel
I know I need to try
To deplete their fuel
A silly bully

To level the playing field
A smoother earth mover

Running the inane
Feeling the pain
Of a cold driving rain

In the face
Face-to-face
Is your point-of-view
Going to rat on you?
In the face
Face-to-face
Doe the opinion you spew
Splatter back on you

Running from sane
Embracing the pain
Of a lame membrane
(chorus)

Running in sane
Down pouring reign
Feel the pain of the cold bold insane
(chorus)
