Resign

we're tired 
just plain tired
of
all their lies
of 
all their double talk
emptiness
doubtful richness
lack
of
integrity
lack
of 
intelligence

asking
for money
money you don't have
money
they want to possess
preaching
norms and values
not there

ruling with disguised 
political ties
paying for their
deplorable lifestyle
with
endless made up lies

paying for habits
no law would satisfy
asking for a support
no one will support
where they will stay 
and be rich
throughout their lives

they're the rulers 
the 
ones we chose
'cause  
the truth was unknown

they were not 
made this way 
by how they lived life
they 
were born this way
born this way
each an' every time
all the time
seeing us as a sacrifice
to keep them satisfied

we're just plain tired
of 
keeping them in line
the ones 
to whom this applies
should be forced 
to resign
and
do time

Soul

 

when your soul is filled with the anguish

emptiness and hollow sorrow of a once

scarred and beaten old tree


will your soul, will it fill the heart

of the unborn flower that's afraid

to come into bloom and bear 

the burden of being beautiful


and when it does, will its fragrance then

descend into the heart of every single soul

and will peace in its valleys prevail

Side of the road


I'm standin' here at the side of the road
with people passin' by leavin' their cares
and worries here... at the side of the road

where I'm standin' , with a weary, worried
and troubled mind, with its emptiness
its loneliness  here... at the side of the road

and they pass me by, with their happy faces
smilin' goin' to their happy places and
they  leave me their blues here...
at the side of the road

where I'm  standin' with my weary, worried
and troubled mind and I know it will be some
time before I will travel yet...
another mile
