TIME OUT
.
.
What we all know now

Is not what we all knew three hundred years ago

Or three thousand years ago

What we all know now

Is not what we will all know

Three hundred years from now

Or three thousand years from now

So, I hold what I know in this moment loosely

Letting it slide, giving it slack

Because knowledge is constantly on the move

We can but follow the flow

Knowing that knowing is just an illusion

A mirage

Existing only in this moment

Shifting with the sands of time

PARTYING WAYS

PARTYING WAYS

A demon stopped by for a cup of regret

And a thick slice of fault and blame

But I've had this pointless party before

I'm done playing this losing game

So I picked up my broom

Chased this grey imp of doom

Right out the ever-loving door.

UNARMED

Two guys went out on a Saturday night

Had a lot to drink, got into a fight

They threw a few ineffective punches, wasn't much of a fray

They apologized and laughed about it the very next day

.

.

Two other guys went out on a Saturday night

They had words about something, got into a fight

Since they both had guns they had a shoot out

The guns made a difference, I have no doubt

.

.

We have our rights, but we also have sense

Why bring out your gun to win a fight?

Someone can always take offense

But a bullet can't decide who's right

FREEDOM FIRST AND LAST

 .

.

FREEDOM FIRST AND LAST

.

.

We all want peace, but it ends in war

Sometimes we don't know what they're fighting for

All I know is I need to be free

To nurture and grow peace inside of me

.

.

So many want to control our ways

Rein us in, take our days

But from childhood we have been wild and free

That is the natural state of you and me

.

.

We do what we must to meet our needs

Our spirits unbroken we do as we please

We are willing to stay with our band

As we roam free, we take a stand

.

.

No one owns your body or mind

No contract can be sealed and signed

That forces us against our will

We were born free and remain free still

.

HERE HERE

 .

.

HERE HERE

.

.

Nobody knows how hard you tried

How many desperate tears you cried

They only see the surface, not what's inside

On your way to get here

.

.

If you saw what looked like a break

An opportunity you should take

Even if it was a huge mistake

It has brought you here

.

.

The past is gone, the future's not yet

Right now is the only time we get

So take heart, dear friend, and do not fret

Together we all arrived here

CONSULTANT

CONSULTANT

When you've tried everything you can think of

But your efforts just make things worse

You have completely run out of ideas

You fear your life might be cursed

.

.

This is when you need a Consultation

With a Consultant that's always top shelf

You need to have a conversation

With your Highest Self

.

.

Your Highest Self sees the situation

But does not have an ego motive

Instead you look for the highest good

A candle of hope that is votive

.

.

Your Highest Self does not participate

In Ego's plots and schemes

Yet your Highest Self can guide you

Like a beacon for your hopes and dreams

NOMENCLATURE

NOMENCLATURE

We should rename war 

"Destroying Children's Lives"

Because telling it like it is

Is the first step towards not 

Destroying children's lives
