Sadness falls, close to home.
My hands sigh, as they type this tome.
Inwards I cry at my plight
I wannna run far into the night
Because I just feel so all alone.

Mon 16-May-07: Bad Vibes
Wonderful turns to ashes
Seeing your offspring return
Thrilled to see them again.
Another semester is over.
They return from dorm rooms much older
Yet old habits die hard, and make others pale.
Happy moods turn snippy again,
When trying friendly faces wear thin
And out comes venom instead.
Two does it take to dance a tango
But one a conversation can mangle
Just watch what you say.
Or else you just may
Not be there
To catch the angle.

Wed 04-Apr-07: Nero Fiddled
Nero Fiddled
As Rome started going up in flames,
Nero the emperor started to play his fiddle.
He watched Rome burn
And turned and turned.
He speeded it up
And saw it fall.
He slowed it down
And turned and frowned.
He walked away, and said,
"That's it for today!"

Tue 03-Apr-07: Wait for da Money
Wait for da Money
Da bankers, dey dem lied.
They gave us ATM's that snuck into our lives.
Dey claimed dey'd always be free
Dey calimed dey'd make life easy for you and me.
Da bankers sold us a bunch o' crap,
And now we da chumps that sit for that!
We remember when our money was free
Free from Fees, at the local ATM's.
We need to revolt and overthrow these banks
And make our cash say, "OH THANKS!"
Free our money, oh won't you please
From those lyin' banking thieves!

Thu 15-Mar-07: Multitudes
Multitudes
Many face the implausible
Few face the impossible,
And fewer still can overcome it.
Life and its challenges will never stop
Can a simple person ever keep up?
Quite quite dicey, so it seems.
Time is one key problem
Space is another one
Both quite difficult to overcome
Many face the implausible
Few face the impossible,
And fewer still can overcome it.
Life and its challenges will never stop
Can a simple person ever keep up?
Quite quite dicey, so it seems.
Time is one key problem
Space is another one

One I Missed: 1/16/07 The Dead (a song for the dixie chicks)
I can't believe I forgot to post this. putting on the BLOG TOO
Anyone out there write music? I'd love to have this set to music, and wrote it that way!..
Tuesday 16-Jan-07: The Dead
The Dixie Chicks had it right
They were just too early for most of us
But they nailed it right on the head.
They saw how many of our boys and girls would soon be dead.
Chorus:
It's just time to restore our country
We've just removed the blindfolds,
And we see the blood, and all the gore,
and what's left of our democracy
Swallowed by the shadows of so-called, "presidential authority"
We're in a war, that'll last forever.
Started by a madman, worse then Pol-Pot.
A draft he denied, yet our kids will be in line.
To support our bases in the middle of Camp Iraqi in 2049
"W" smoked pot, and drove drunk,
Did coke, and ditched the draft
Yet military experience? he had none
Now we'll all pay for his bit of fun.
Country Music fans dumped on the Chicks,
Turns out they were all just a bunch of hicks. (pricks)
Now, three years later, the country's all agreed.
We're not gonna take it, now we're just peeved.
Chorus:
It's just time to restore our country
We've just removed the blindfolds,
And we see the blood, and all the gore,
and what's left of our democracy
Swallowed by the shadows of so-called, "presidential authority"
Water torture Cheney says is fine
Spying on citizens isn't a crime
Claims of Nine-Eleven not withstanding
You gotta wonder who last man will be standing.
Cheney, and Bush (43) need to get out now.
And maybe Pelosi (44) will pardon them somehow.
Before the UN War Crimes Tribunal locks the cell on their toes into Abu-Graves
Chorus:
It's just time to restore our country
We've just removed the blindfolds,
And we see the blood, and all the gore,
and what's left of our democracy
Swallowed by the shadows of so-called, "presidential authority"
Yes, citizens of our country
It's time for us to all agree.
We’re stuck inside this illegal war
But now how do we proceed, indeed.
Now our troops still need our help oh Lord.
They are far from home, and hardly bored.
They're stuck out there in harms way
Praying they'll survive yet another day.
Chorus:
It's just time to restore our country
We've just removed the blindfolds,
And we see the blood, and all the gore,
and what's left of our democracy
Swallowed by the shadows of so-called, "presidential authority"
Just how do you stop a war
That never should have come?
We broke it bad, now needs fixing
Idea: Let's send Paul Wolfowitz out to BAGDAD, with a AK-47.
The UN never approved the war,
and them Bush just ignored.
Now we need an Arab Army
Yet them, Bush STILL ignores.
Iran and North Korea now both have new nukes
And again he screws up diplomacy
And soon Iran he'll try and shoot.
Our fifteen year olds will have to know
A Draft for them is Real.
Three years in the army, or instead in cities big
Service will stink big time, but this time all is fair.

Thu 08-Mar-07: A Phone tap
A Phone tap
A wrist slap, a phone tap
A red flag from the ref.
Time out for unfair play
Said the Ref to Alberto today.
You started with "un"torture
As the lawyer to the President of the USA.
You topped that by saying water's fine
If You were wanted by the CIA.
You went on by modifying the US Patriot Act
By slipping in a few quick last minute "facts".
No legislators were in on this bait and switch act
And now looks like you gonna get 'jacked.
Extraordinary rendition sounds just yucky
And is even worse if the CIA catches you.
You routed them across the world to break them
And even gave them a world view.
But Alberto, you forgot a few facts,
You no longer work for the President
You’re the chief law enforcer for the US of A.
Really looks like you're gonna get the AXE.
Looks like this spring will be the LAST one you see
From beautiful downtown Washington DC
For if the wind is true to what's coming
A twister 'be blowing you past the ole Mississippi.

Fri 02-Mar-07: Stubborn IS
Stubborn IS
(hummed to the tune of I am the walrus [Lennon/McCarthy])
Stubborn is as stubborn does
Unlike Forrest Gump, stubborn sucks.
Stubborn people just don't get it.
Stubborn people versus other people seems to say:
I am me and we are me and I am all together
You are wrong, and I am right and I don’t care what you say.
'Cause I wont listen. Won't Listen.
Can't Listen. No Control.
So argue all you want but my mind's totally closed.
It's fruitless.
You may be my boss or teacher, but I just don't care.
I'm stubborn.
You may want to compromise
But I still will say never.
Why would I compromise? I am always right.
Even if you're in charge, I am never wrong.
I cannot admit defeat, compromises never possible.
Doesn't matter how painful, I will never give in.
Even if I'm wrong, I just cannot admit it.
I push myself into a corner, paint myself into it.
Once I am cornered, watch out for my temper.
I realize I'm out of control, but I just can't stop it.
So if you back off now, I will eventually give in
But damned if you push it, it will start all over.
So just let me do this quietly, and calmly
Later on, I may even apologize.

Tue 27-Feb-07: The Perspective
The Perspective
How we look, outside.
What we see, inside
What we feel, up top.
Is it real? Can you feel?
What you see equals what we be.
How you do, becomes who you are.
Your view of outside
Makes you see and be
Will it be a good ride?
Everyday is a challenge
Will others be unkind
Or can you simply rewind all the scenes.
Making he best of a bad situation
Our perspective can change us
A rainy day into sunshine play.
How we look, outside.
What we see, inside
What we feel, up top.
Is it real? Can you feel?
What you see equals what we be.
How you do, becomes who you are.
Your view of outside
Makes you see and be
Will it be a good ride?
Everyday is a challenge
Will others be unkind
Or can you simply rewind all the scenes.
Making he best of a bad situation
Our perspective can change us
A rainy day into sunshine play.
